I planned a Sunday and Monday hunt on public land for my sons, and we didn't even need to stay until Monday! The doe was shot around 10 AM, the buck, about 5:30 PM. Couldn't have asked for a much better first hunt with my boys.

First deer of the season...

My grand daughter's first buck for youth hunt. She killed it today about 9am with .243 caliber rifle. All she need is just one bullet...one shot. Proud of you Bouger. All the Pap's needed to say!!!!! Mick,Ted and Burt congratulate you!

Pretty happy with the way he turned out , went with the full sneak as he was chasing a doe when I shot him Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

After 3 attempts I successfully landed a loogy on top of the squirrel below my stand

I put down my first flathead of the season over the weekend and managed to capture some great footage! Please check it out below, thanks everyone!

Shoved off for the Pittsford - Mendon area at 5 am . Was in the stand by 6 am after cutting a few weeds and some low hanging branches . Just before 8 am I saw some deer way across the field . There were 4 anterless and a few minutes later I saw a deer with a small rack . The buck went into the gulley but the does with fawns eased along the edge of the field heading my way . I was in a box blind that I had gotten a few deer out of over the years . As they got closer I stood up and held my bow out over the rail ( learned from a previous mistake to do this ) . Drew back , leaned and let go . Got one of the doe at about 20 yards . I thought they were going to turn into the thick stuff a couple times and didn't want to take a chance on no shot . At least there is one tag that I won't be eating this year !

well saturday morning I was out doing a little scouting around on my property and let my guard down,I was busy looking at some huge fresh rubs that were brand new instead of looking were I was walking, dumb amateur move but I couldn't believe the size of the trees that he was beating up (some 8-10 in diameter I never saw anything even close to this) when I got near a big brush pile I heard some movement in the leaves I looked up In time to watch the biggest 10 pointer I ever saw (and I have a 140 class taken in tomkins county hanging in the cabin) trying to sneak away but I got a pretty good look at him. All I can say I at least I didn't scare the daylights out of him so I think I may have a chance to take him In November since nobody bow hunts in the area!!! I haven't been this excited In a long time , I put out 4 trail cams and set up some licking branches and mock scrapes along the side of his rub line to piss him off I cant wait, now I just have to give him a lot of space and keep my fingers crossed!!!!

I don't care if there is no wind. I don't climb a tree without a harness.

Way to go boys. Congrats and keep up the good work. I am always happy to see kids out there hunting and not on x-box or some other video game stupidity

I won't contradict Sogaard's answer, but the question does seem interesting. If you "assist" in any way with the hunt, you are considered "hunting." That is why you both need a hunting license. So, two hunters go out to hunt deer. Both "assist" each other in the hunt. Both have a license and a valid tag. Maybe one is driving the deer. Does it matter which one pulled the trigger? According to the rules, they both were "hunting" - and hunting the same deer which is being tagged. Seems that either hunter's tag should be legitimate in that situation. Again, I am not contradicting the answer given. Just wondering about the application of the term "hunting" in the context of tags and licenses.

Shot him Friday 10/10/14 at 6pm in 6R dressed out at 240lbs.

I got a deer this morning. My 6yr old son loves to help me after I get one. I had him walk in front of me while I dragged it out. He said dad can I kiss ur treestand for good luck. I said sure. Next I saw him doing this. But a smile on my face. Makes me so proud. If my 3yr old son wasn't sick he would be right there with us. I can't wait for the day the both can hunt with me.

Second sit of year, deer moving in my 10 acre plot in 8H. Sorry for the poor video quality , was right at dusk. Took a quick video of a 2 1/2 yr old 8 point doing a rub, had a very nice 8 pt at 50 yards watching this buck, just never came in ! Seen 8 deer total last 30 minutes of light all walking the same direction to a bean field. Good luck out there IMG_0174.MOV

The lil woman got home, we ate dinner, then she says, "I forgot my phone in my truck. Can you grab it for me?". After a bit of "Woman!.......", I went to get the phone. I opened the door and there was a brand new Mossy Oak hunting coat in there for me. I love my babe! She don't care what I do as long as I keep the health issues in check. She always has by back!

That's all ya got? The Jills? LOL! Been a Bills fan for 30+ years, heard'em all. Doesn't bother me anymore. I probable crack on them as much as anyone. I only talk smack when Giant or Jet fans give me crap, at least the Bills play where the name is.

Its an election year, they are sure to skyrocket after the sheep vote the incumbants back in again....

Dang crooks stole most of your periods and commas too.

Shot Him Friday at 6pm. Dressed out at 240lbs

My buddy stuck this guy in 7S

My new camera and lens finally arrived so I took them to the stand this morning. I took it with me this evening too, but forgot to put a memory card in it. Man, did I ever miss out. The last two shots are just fillers from my old camera. More to come soon!

Picked up this little gem today for her. She likes the fit and feel. Going to hit some targets with it tomorrow. I hope it shoots nice for her. It's a savage axis youth muddy girl 7m 08. No accutrigger but I don't think that matters for the way it will be shot. Shots should be within 100 yards.

Who has been out west Elk hunting? I'm looking into going out next year (preferably Montana) or Utah or Colorado. Looking for a good outfitter that wont break the bank but is good and has a good success rate. Or even if you know of good places for public land hunting.

I know Ted, he grew up down the st. from me ,My parents used him as their lawyer,as poa for my Mom I fired him after the safe act passed. I'm so happy to see the voters fire him as well.

Just a typo guys, wow! Not a scam as I referred you to my website and have been in business over 20 years, now in my 3rd Indoor range location. Look me up David McCarthy Pembroke,Rockland,HIngham Mass. I also ran a rock climbing excursion in st thomas back in 08,09 lots of new yorkers came down for that one. Yes a recent flyover survey showing 40per sq mile and most folks have or know someone who has lyme disease including my dad who still bow hunts here with us at 82. We dont use stands cause theres not much for trees, plus its a pain when you fly with extra gear to bring.Cost is $895 for the 6 day trip min/ max is 4. 2 guests one room (2 twins) , 2 guests in the other room with 4 bunks. I'ts a 3 bedroom house in a great area called madeket anyone familiar with Nantucket knows this area. Ive been hunting here me and dad since I was 23. I am know 48. I can take you where the deer are (bucks) and not many other bow hunters its a great time Alot of land is posted! if you dont know someone with private land you must use the land bank properties. Thats where we can help. No guarantee for a kill thats on you! We move around all day and brush a bit, coffee mid morning and lunch at the local sub shop. You need money for that but I take care of breakfast and dinner at the house. This is not a party either so only serious Bow hunters need respond. The doe permits have never sold out for zone 14 and the limit is now 4 deer per day (up from 2). Doe permits are $5 and we check deer online. Sound good? Amenities? yes flights from Hyannis both ways small engine aircraft on cape air. New rented jeeps or suvs with a driver. Hot breakfast, hot dinner included, but lunch and coffee on the fly(you pay) depends whats happening. House has a deck in the sun grill, tv cable internet great space hot shower lots of room. In the bush you pick out your own spots, trim a few twigs if needed and take a seat for the morning and afternoon post. We show you which way deer are traveling and recommend a position but this is not tv bow hunting. We figure you have a little concept of Bow Hunting to even consider this trip. First timers are welcome thats what a guide is for! Just plan on full days and make sure your bow is sighted in gear is ready and we go out rain or shine. If you want easy guaranteed kills go hunt on a farm.

I purchased Hornady Custom Lite .308 loads for my fourteen year old twins' Savage 11/111s. Both got deer this past Sunday. Both shots were about 75 yards. One deer dropped straight down, the other ran about 10 yards before falling dead.

No mocking my 20.00 brand new garage sale couch!!! It fit just about perfect in the space, was literally brand new, and only 20.00!!! Comfy also. Talk about a score.. I had her shoot my 30-06 a few times before (very few) and it kicked her pretty good. It kicks me pretty good and I would rather have a 7mm 08. I dont need the power of that beast. Thinking of getting lighter recoil loads for me and maybe her. Im going to open a new topic for that.

LOL - it was the angle but yes it passed through twice, once through the cavity and then again through the opposite shoulder. Unless someone else shot at the same time. hmmm

Yes indeed, sure is nice out. Out in the shirt sleeves this morning. Beautiful red sky. The sailors must be taking warning.

Nothing better than big smiles on little faces!!!!

get a crossbow for last 2 weeks....

They are around wyoming county. I had a small bear on cam last year in attica.

200# deer are no way rare in ny there are. Plenty of good farm deer that can easily hit the 200 pound mark

Don't bash trappers to get your spot back there is already enough people that frown on us trappers ... There are other ways then that

Yep no thanks I make bait outta them. Trapping is upon us....almost ready gonna be about a week late myself hopefully the extra prep pays off.....sorry if that was way off topic...

Nice video. Congratulations on the doe. Looks like a real nice area where you're hunting.

Nice! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Garcia what??>>>>I was under the impression that you smoked CIGARS….LOL!!!

Yea, I know I should order from JR but then I'd probably smoke more of the rotten things. And I'm only buying the Garcia Vega English Coronas so they're not a big ticket item. Another couple weeks and I may spurge for a little better smoke in anticipation of opening day gun season.

Nope. I have been a Bills fan since I was 10. I am loyal, and even though I once called "Rich Stadium" ( remember those days? ), and got through to the security booth and demanded, "I want the Bills arrested for impersonating a football team!", I am still loyal. I got a visit from my local Fuzz for that one, and had to explain it was just a joke.....That's actually very true. I don't BS. I have no need to.

I'm so confused, I've never had a drought of not seeing deer this long, I have the usual rubs and scrapes. Setting up over a new spot with a large scrape tommorw

im trying that tomorrow im going to cut some branches from a field im going to hunt then take them to my other spot in the woods.

So, are saying offering a deer a $50 won't make him just lay down for me? Damn..

It hurts for sure to lose one, but we have to learn from it and keep at it. Best of luck!

I enjoy the mild temperatures. Get rid of the coveralls and go back to lighter gear again. With temps. getting in the 70's tomorrow, I may even pull a wooly.

Lol the only reason I believed you is your name is Swedishviking and the guy had a accent that could have been sweedish

Took these 2 doe this weekend

Shot a doe tonight forgot pics tho already at processor. ...good night. ...

my first deer, i dont have a kill shot full body so ive provided a trail cam picture.
