Mission accomplished this am, saw 3 doe, a 3 pt tailing one 15 yards by me, got my sticks on the tree, massive scrape 20 yards away. 4 fawns bedded by me had to spook em off to leave.

Some nice bucks.

I am ready , will be out at my sisters property in 9A and weather shows high 50F and sunshine. Get it done!

Ready or not, it all starts Saturday. Dig in for the ride.

6 bucks on cell cams before 9 am in one area. crazy!

We have a farm at the beginning of my road. The houses and land are rented to out-of-state hunters. Really nice people that come and go. As I was leaving for work yesterday I noticed a pickup driving along the cut corn, tailgate down and this monster inside. I stopped thinking they would come up the road but they were actually going to gut it in the hedgerow. I left but stopped in on my way home. First off they are such a nice family of hunters and get the job done. The wife shot this in the evening and they backed out. High double lung shot. Found it in the morning just by the way the leaves were scuffed up. It bedded next to a big log. No ground shrinkage here. 13 points non typical. Deer has everything you want! I was so happy for them. They were packing up to move onto a new lease and meeting up with family for thanksgiving. He gave me a half hour to talk about the deer. Congrats to them. I must say that is the biggest I have seen in my area.

So the lease property we have has a big goldenrod field. I picked an area and put a 1/4 acre food plot. There is a gun stand 40 yards into the woods and a ground blind 15 yards from it. Now this is the second year on the lease and still learning the property. Putting in this plot just draws those deer right to you. I was in the gunstand and saw a bunch of doe in the food plot and then a buck chasing them. We decided to put in a ground blind to see what happens. Well today between 4:00 and last light we had three bucks and a bunch oif doe in there. Doe were first followed by a spike and six point and this bigger guy around last light.

Wife and my friend both got 7p dmp tags in the mail today. I’m gonna go out with no intention of shooting anything tomorrow morning. Buddy in pa had non stop bucks chasing doe

Hunted close to there years ago. In Roscoe had a place on Morton Hill. Great state land hunting!

They closed down Stewert State Forrest in Orange County because of the fire's. Perhaps that is what you heard?

I got out one of my Blaze Orange vests to wear over my jacket . No sense in wearing camo and taking a chance on getting shot . I bought a 20 ga Savage bolt action shotgun to use in Monroe County but use my NEF 25-06 single shot rifle in the other areas that I hunt . Git 'r done !

Yeah I'm ready. We lost one oldtimer this year which will put a damper on things. 88 years still going strong and had an accident in his barn. Doing something he shouldnt of be doing. My buddy Steve is a detective and is on a huge case, he can't make it. My camp usually has 6 hunters we will have 5. We will have a 14 year old up here hunting with his grandfather! Weather looks real sketchy next week. Stands are set everyone knows where they are going.
