Happy Birthday , have a great day !

Got up at 3:45 and headed for Geneseo at 5am ( 50 Miles ) . Hardly any traffic on the road . Parked the car at 6am and unloaded the ATV . My son , Matt showed up 15 minutes later . I set up my 2 man chair blind and sat back at at 6:30 in the woods . Between then and 10:30 , all I saw was squirrels . Got out of the blind and headed over to Matt's so we could take care of my Cuddeback cameras as the batteries only lasted 2 months . Changed the batteries and set the time back an hour as tomorrow is the time for the change . In the meantime , I saw a small buck through the trees plus a fawn and two doe . Too far to shoot and I had enough for the morning . The last of the 4 cameras was the Home camera that that retrieves and send pictures to my e-mail . Holy crap ! The tree with the camera and lock box were down and luckily no damage to the camera or security box . Reset the camera and put it back in the security box so the camera is sideways until I can go back with some tools . Getting pictures again via emails . I got a call from Matt late this afternoon . My 15 year old grandson shot a doe with the crossbow about 10 minutes after he got in one of the Hub Blinds in their back yard . What a day !

Been sitting in a ground blind since 630 . Nothing. Very quiet in the woods. Did the deer set their clocks back early ? Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

Great looking deer Hock3Y24 ! Congrats !

12 point that was in my neighbor's yard. Took it with a 30-06 at 200 yards.

Never heard of "Rinks 69" ...........

I plan on being out there for the start of CrossBow . I don't hunt unless one of my sons is with me . I didn't get to be 82 by being too stupid .

Sat out in a hub blind in Mendon for a little over 4 hours . Didn't see a thing . As I walked out to my car , I saw 9 deer in the cut down soy bean field across the road . There was at 2 2 bucks . The deer don't seem to want to cooperate . If rain isn't forecasted for Saturday , we may give Geneseo another try .

Probably a Sasquach . They can be very noisy at times .

Someone told me Patrick Mahomes looks like Darlene from Roseanne and now I can’t unsee it .

I will stick with my 25-06 load . 53 gr H4831 --- 117 gr Sierra SP ---CCI 200 --- OAL 3.155

My HUGE disappointment . Thursday afternoon my oldest son and I decided to hunt my SIL's woods in Geneseo . Between 2 and 3 , I saw 3 doe . Then around 5pm , I saw 4 doe west of me in the woods . At about 6 pm , I had 2 four points bucks approach my shooting zone . I could see another 5 deer west of me . I decided to shoot one of the bucks as it was about 25 yards from me . It looked like a good shot as I could see the lighted arrow nock . It ran north onto the neighbor's property . I texted my son and waited almost a half hour to retrieve the deer . I left my gear by the stand as I expected a fairly quick recovery . Big mistake . We started out spotting a few drops of blood , then a speck here and there zig zagging through the neighbor's woods which we were not familiar with . We had gone probably over a half mile and finally spotted the lighted nock on the arrow . Went a bit farther and found the deer . It looked like the arrow had gone through and finally came out the other side of th 4 pointer . It got dark quick . My son had started to go back for the sled and quickly returned as he had no idea where we were . We decided to leave the deer and find our way back through the woods . We walked East for quite a ways , then headed South . Found a corn field and kept walking south until we hit another neighbor's soy bean field . Walked another great distance , using our cell phone lights to see . Found the trail going into the woods and then found the horse trail and back to our ATV's . My knee replacement was killing me . It was almost 9pm . Yesterday I went back with a friend and took my Garmin GPS with me as it will show me my backtrack on it after walking . I had no idea where we wad found the deer Thursday night . We lost the blood trail and wandered around for about 3 hours and gave up . Nothing looked familiar as it was getting dark Thursday pm and we had no landmarks . I will make sure I take my Garmin GPS with me in the future as we were able to use it to get back with no problem . My son and I decided not to do any afternoon hunts at my SIL's woods after that . I am still upset with myself for losing the deer . Hammer away !

Saw over a dozen deer yesterday late afternoon in the woods in Geneseo .

What's going on in the Daks and Catskills ?

What brand and model is the crossbow ?

Time to mess with my buddy
