The best thing about back in the day was hunting huge pieces of property that someone owned from Manhattan and never even cared about who was on it. Zero posted signs. We had a lady down the street that owned 60 acres and had no idea how big 60 acres was. She thought it was the size of her lawn which was only an acre. Now every piece of land is accountant-ed for and someone is watching at all times... I was completely legal on the property lines a few years ago and other property owner was showing me the boundaries on his cell phone...

I just moved to Cornwall CT. Haven't hunted CT yet, still hunting in my spots in NY but I see decent amount of deer coming up RT 7 every night. Need to do some research to find some spots to hunt in the area. Have you hunted Wyantenock?
No I am on the border of kent never made it that far east. I come up route 7 in kent for years and it was all fields and I saw a big decline last summer and thought it was just weird year... only few deer at a time in fields when there were dozens and dozens in yrs past. Not as much on cameras last year and I got cameras everywhere in kent. Got several good spots. This year barely anything in fields in the summer and with no acorns barely anything in fields in fall where it should be loaded. I have 1 doe in my best spot where there should be atleast a dozen. A fly fisherman told me he seen several dead deer in housatonic. Something def going on... That being said cornwall areas and litchfield areas took some real nice bucks l;ast yr..

Big bucks never go nocturnal... There in a spot where they feel safe close to food where they sleep for a few minutes at a time. They get up and stretch there legs periodically feed and still sniff does. Then when it is dark they will expand there range... You could still kill these deer if you know where there bedding area is......

Soto has a great eye, no doubt. But 15/$440M he turned down is crazy. His offensive numbers besides walks are just meh the last 2 seasons in a row
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProSoto had a bad year.. That wiffle ball stadium will turn his numbers around real quick....

Who would have thought the Phillies? Wow. And 4 out of last 6 years the astros are in the WS. Can they finally win # 2?
Never thought phillies had a shot. They were 40/1 to win ws at start of playoffs.... That is insane. Mets look like a bunch of friggin losers now.. Braves were mocking them and now phillies are. I still think stros win easy but the fact that noah syndagard is in the WS makes me sick

They said on dan patrick show He will get 10 yrs 500 million and giants and dodgers both said they will not get outbid... He is as good as gone. Doubt the yankees will go more than 7 yrs.

Same time as always in dutchess county... 11/7 - 11/18
That being said I did shoot the biggest buck of my life on 11/24 last year that was tending a doe middle of the day

Me too. The last 20 or so years I prefer to hunt my way in just as it's getting light. And have killed deer doing so. Very seldom bump deer on the way to my set up. As I usually see them before they see me. Think still hunting to get there. Slow and easy. Also get in much quieter, as I can step over and around branches. By the time I'm up and in, it's full daylight. It works for me. I do carry a head lamp in my pack. Mostly for if I need to track a deer after last light.
Yup I go in at 930 am and stay till dark... Last 5 mature bucks were shot between 1030 and 130

I had a giant 8 pointer chasing a doe while I was working on a roof right in ladys front lawn by vassar farm about 15 yrs ago. I thought the rut was starting early so hunted my ass off and when the real rut started in nov I was exhausted . It was a fluke... Rut is typycally same time evry yr just better when its cool.......
