Heading into the finish line primitively! ....and feasting along the way! No deer tonight...but still time left!

Nice weather this morning for a sit. Nothing but barking red squirrels and a few gray's running around. Around 9:45am I decided to sneak around a bit, heading over the hill to a big area I can view. I heard a couple quick snorts and saw flags........they were south of me and that nasty north wind gave me up. They made a big circle and one stopped in a spot where I could only make out some brown hair. Finally after a good ten minutes she took two steps and was wide open. I glassed her quickly with my binos to rule out any little spikes that could screw up my day, all clear, just ears. I took the shot at about 90 yards and she flopped over. I started to drag her uphill but after about 60-70 yards I changed my mind and made a call. My buddy was going to pick me up on the lower road but first I hoofed it back to the truck and left most of my clothes, gun and binos. Changed boots and headed back down the hill to get her down to the road. Nice doe, 1.5 years old but maybe older. Didn't weigh her because if I did, I'd have to tell you. Not a fawn, thankfully.

Just before dark yesterday

Two for. The weekend

Ended up taking this one on the walk out. Might hunt the morning tomorrow too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One down at first light

Buddy had a wild time in 9g the last two days.....saw a ton of doe from 5-200 yards away....had multi coyote sightings with no shot opportunity...and he ended tonight by seeing a beer haul ass across the neighbors field onto the land we hunt. He said it was buck fever 20x! Pic he sent me of print compared to his hand. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Well our last Field to Fork participant That hadn’t gotten a deer wanted to give it another try this weekend so Amy picked up her muzzleloader tag. She also has her antlerless tags and her regular season tag. We saw 11 deer this morning and she passed on a very easy shot on a lone fawn. About a half hour later 6 came around the corner and she showed great poise waiting for the right shot as well as waiting for the big doe to clear he other deer. Beautiful 65 yard shot with the encore muzzleloader. Very proud of you Amy and glad to have been a part of your journey. I know that muzzleloader is a handful but you did very well with it. Hope you don’t bruise. Lol. We are still on stand finishing the day so see if we can double her up.

I’m going for the win tonight fellas! Backstrap(with a backwoods hickory rub), asparagus, mashed with truffle oil and Evan Williams. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was about to pull the plug at 10 to get daughter home so mama could get her to ballet. At 9:50 6 came through at 35 yards. Baa locked em up. Happened fast and couldn’t get Sam on them. ML spoke by me and she went 75-80 yards. Daughter liked the tracking part especially the big lung chunk. Absolutely huge doe. Dragged her through a little steep edged creek twice Rope broke I tumble heels over head. We laugh. Now uphill a bit and slipping I can barely move her. Got her to woods edge , slapped the filled out tag on her. Got daughter home. Headed back out to gut and get her to where I park. Head back in deeper for a more fun for hopefully a longer drag.

Sitting in my stand in Geneseo. It's raining. The field that I drove the ATV through had been plowed. Wasn't an easy drive. I hope the rain stops soon .my youngest son Nick is sitting in a double chair blind about 300 to 400 yards south of me . Since my 2 trips to the hospital I don't hunt alone .

Apparently there is a new arm system coming out that is just unreal. I do not know much aboutbit other than my prosthetist asked if I wanted to wear the most badass arm out there. He is as professional as it gets, so to hear that, makes me excited to see this arm. Sometime in January...

Heading out tomorrow with my daughter for some squirrel hunting. It’s her true passion in game pursuit at the moment and her rifle skills are quite well. We shall see what the day brings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see

Reservations are set for Thursday at 7:30. Had to go try the place last night to make sure it was ok.

I’m in 8F, but am frequently criticized for being “mean” so I reside in dicksville on the forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Girls and I met my brother and his gf from Montana at the yelling goat. They were so excited to go they went Friday night too. Berbere wings to share and burger with pork belly and egg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sausage, and garlic, pie with dollops of ricotta.

Did another fine job on my bow buck. Still has that smooth summer coat and a dark coat too. Not my biggest but a pretty buck. Looking forward to seeing the gun season buck! Thanks buddy!

This guy got a pass last night for the 2nd time this season. He came in with 6 doe and did some chasing. Had him at under 20 yards. Saw him way back at the beginning and he has been on cam every once in a while since then. His Daddy is still running around however, as of two days ago according to cam pics. So, I am waiting for the bigger deer. I have a feeling about this evening's sit. Let's see what happens The deer will below will be a fine beast if he makes through to next year. Fingers crossed for him.

We only had 5 participants. But we went 5 for 5 with 3 bucks

Still chasing here.

I decide to go shopping and cook stew tonight . Yummy venison stew yummy.ill make Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday my last day .I will be sick on one of those days lolol

Dino It was good hunting with you today. Enjoyed the hunt and dinner. Take care, Brian

Sat until legal light. Saw nothing, but a calm end to the season for me. Walked around a bit where I shot two does and finally found both arrows. Bonus! Likely the last time out for deer until next October for me unless I head out to Montauk for New Year's. Great season for me. Plenty of sightings, learned a lot (mostly that I have more to learn). Buck during bow with recurve (a first), Doe during regular season on a dmp and first December deer with a fat doe this week. Work was tough for me, but I probably hunted the hardest I ever have. I am beat. Great reading about everyone else's hunts to keep the interest going during lulls. For those still going out there, good luck. Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year to everyone on HuntingNY. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk

Have you checked out the Henry ? I never handled one, but have heard that are excellent quality and retail for less than your Max $$….

Dunno about your SOMU (significant other management unit) but GF season starts the first Friday directly after the official close of the muzzleloader season here. Lol. Or at least i was told. Runs until May 1 with the rut usually reaching peak around Feb 14th. Just a reminder - hope it's a good season. I plan on starting the season opener at a local restaurant of the GFs choice.

Bourbon Old Fashioned time. Just the drink for a cold wet afternoon and reminiscing of times gone bye.

In the same boat crappyice! LOL I just ran out to get a warm lunch. Now I'm sitting in the truck at camp, watching it rain and sleet, trying to get motivated and think positive to go back out. Didn't see a thing this morning... If I don't go out, I'll regret it later! It's gonna be a L-O-N-G wait until next October! #finishstrong #noregrets #gearupbitches Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Me and hunting buddy Corey were out this morn, sat then did a push but nothing. Saw the Fisher again today this time he was at 10 yards but gone before I could snap a pic. Pretty neat. This was it for me, deer season is over. A very good one for sure. Freezer is full and have to pick one up at processor this week and a mount for the wall in the spring. Next weekend am gonna do a grid search in the area where I shot the buck that shed its horns they have got to be close. Good luck to everyone still at it.

And points from the LGBT folks for driving a Suburu, aka "Lesbian car". LOL

Its set in stone, no need for us to beat it to death like a bunch of hens from the other side of the Hudson Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Points for the clean car too...

Jarheads are all hype. It would be my pleasure to meet up with you at the range and serve you up a nice big 'ol bowl of crow

Didn't see any deer but did see a huge Fisher tonite at 40 yards. That was cool. Last hunt of the season tomorrow morn.
