My daughter's front yard in Irondequoit

Just saw this. Young lady shot it durring the youth hunt in Geneseo. Buck of a life time!!!

Cell cam got a pic of owl at night and turkey during day. Not a great pic of owl but it is still kind of cool seeing them

Hunting on Public Land -- after the sun comes up

Couple got almost close enough to pet.

Gonna go to PA in the am, had the big 10 on cam two mornings ago neck looks all swollen up, gonna bring the calls and rattle. I’m not hunting these warm evenings too agressively.

Female of the Alpha pair we took out yesterday at 160+ yards. SJC

About an hour left in my shift then it's up to the hill for the opening of muzzleloader here in the north. Good luck to all those venturing out. Sent from my moto g power (2022) using Tapatalk

Quartering towards me, with gun. Dropped and didnt even twitch Would never ever try with bow or xbow

As a rule I only used one ladder stand and it had a lifeline. Everything else was primarily out of a climber. I always had the safety harness on and was tethered to the tree going up and coming down. It only takes one wrong move and your life can be ruined forever.

I do not care how anyone votes , but I'm thinking that every time I see a Harris / Walz sign on a lawn there should also be a " Future Home for Illegals " sign on that same lawn ..... that's what they're Voting for correct ? Or is that way too Logical ?

Its been a while since i’ve posted anything on here, but I figured this warranted it. I just got back from an 8 day trip to the Northern Alberta and got my first Bull elk!! What an ADVENTURE! 70 mile quad rides (half in the dark) into the bush, run ins with moose and grizzly bears, spending 6 days with a native tracker and learning bush craft… it was truly remarkable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've got chasing going on 35 yRds to the front of me. Bushes being torn up behind me. Nice shooter walks to my right through the brush with no good shot possible.

I’ve killed (3) with neck shots, The second obe from the side, from a 10 yard range, with a 16 ga rifled slug. Only the head and neck were visible that time and I didn’t want to totally destroy the head in the trophy buck so u went for the neck, dropping him dead in his tracks. The first one was an inadvertent neck shot with my compound bow. That was actually the last arrow that I ever fired at a deer with a vetical bow and it happened in 2012, the same year as the one up above that I “necked” later with my slug gun. It must have caught a glimpse of my draw as it passed thru the hedgerow my stand was in, coming from behind me. When it turned broadside at 25 yards, I released my arrow. It reared down and back, taking the arrow just below the head. I had a mechanical broadhead and it ran off with the arrow sticking thru and about equal lengths protruding each side. The wide blades must have sliced the aorta or jugular because I heard him crash after about a 25 yard dash. The last one was the exit on a Perfectly placed Texas heart shot I took on an Adirondack 6-pointer back in 2016, with my scoped 30/06 from a 50 yard range. Obviously, that one also dropped in its tracks. That was probably the cleanest guy job I have ever had on a deer and there was no entry wound since the bullet entered the existing hole. I did loose the neck roast in that one though, which was a shame because that is one of my favorite parts. The bottom of the heart was also grooved a bit by the passing 150 gr Federal Classic bullet. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to take those last two shots again, but I never again used a vertical bow on a deer, after that first one.

I have taken several with neck shots, all with rifles and they will drop where they are standing. That being said it must be a good clear shot and having a solid-steady rest. As for archery I do not feel I am a good enough shot. Al

I plan to do an afternoon hunt Saturday in Geneseo . I don't do an all day hunt as I don't feature getting up at 3am to do an all day . Buck or doe - no preference .

Frontal neck can kill, it's just more risk I guess. I would think only would be available from the ground. I've heard a ton of people only shoot side neck shots and they drop and don't waste (!?) meat (neck meat is still good!). I guess it depends on the situation and the hunter etc and the deer Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

2 more doe and fawn came right under me, swear I heard grunting

I couldn't have explained it better myself. I'm about 35 miles south of Rossie. Thousands and thousands of acres of state land to choose from. I usually can hunt all day and not run into another hunter outside of my group. Sent from my moto g power (2022) using Tapatalk

I'm a born and raised northern tier hunter and I love it. The scenery is often breathtaking and it keeps me grounded almost like my church. You don't see a ton of deer but you sure get excited about the ones you do see. I've taken a few trips south with a few people I've met on here and had a great time but always look forward to going back north. Sent from my moto g power (2022) using Tapatalk

Back on the hill for my last bow sit of the year. Muzzleloader starts on Saturday and I'll be out. Good luck to all those going out. Sent from my moto g power (2022) using Tapatalk

What a douche

Got the X50 scope back this afternoon and they were able to recover some of the videos. This is the dog I dropped at close range in the harvested corn field. It came from a long ways away and traveled through the cow herd before it met its demise. Wind was coming from the left, so it never knew we were there. SJC

They say most accidents happen within 25 miles of home . That's why I drive 50 miles away to hunt .

Son passed the doe this am, this evening all bets are off.

Did an afternoon hunt in Geneseo from 3 - 7 pm . It was pretty quiet . Around 4:30 4 doe came from behind me in the gully lot . My scent had to be blowing their way but they didn't appear to be alarmed . They went back the way they had come from and a few minutes later returned . They then crossed over and went into the corn not to be seen again . Later they were in the corn behind my grandson and got spooked . The they had come by me is about 35 yards when they were in the corn . No shots .

Woods were so still tonight you could hear a mouse fart! Last 4 evening hunts only two deer. Warm temps and the moon phase screws them up.
