Sitting in my hub blind in Honeoye Falls. It is very windy but I knew that from the forecast. It is just starting to sprinkle. Last day of the season so I will stick it out until 4 38 . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday !

I couldn't get on all day Saturday . Spoiled my day . I think the North Koreans were messing with us !

Sat in a hub blind at my son's property in Honeoye Falls again today from 1:30 to 4:45 . No deer sightings . A few minutes past 3 I saw something go across the trail about 80 yards out . It was too big for a fox and had a long tail so it wasn't a deer . At 4:05 , it went back in the opposite direction . No idea what it was but my guess is that it was a coyote . My son gave me a heads up where he saw a crap load of deer so I checked it out on the way home . On Rt 64 in Mendon , there was at least 20 deer in a field and across the road was another 20 . They know they are safe in the dark . Then when I was driving on County Road 8 some dipwad was tailgating me . A doe ran across in front of me and I hit my brakes . The guy behind me hit his also and almost went off the road . He backed off a few car lengths . I have a lot to do in the next few days and probably won't get out again until Tuesday which is the Finale of the Southern Deer Season .

I don't care for the big cameras with the huge lens' . I have 3 Canon Power Shot SX 130 IS cameras . One in my backpack , one ine the car and one by my computer . I can zoom out to 40X with them which is all I need . 1st pic from the blind is normal setting . 2nd pic is over the top of the bipod about 45 yards away ( trail cam on a post ) with 40X zoom . 3rd pic is same as 1st and 4th pic is the tree in front with 40X zoom . I think the most I paid for any of the 3 cameras was $160 . They probably have made improvements with the cameras since I bought mine . They take an SD card and 2AA batteries . The cameras also have a movie feature .

Congrats on your ML kill .......

Sitting in a blind on my son's property. Just saw something cross the trail at the back end of the property. Too big for a fox and it had a long tail. It was just a quick glimpse . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Here we go again . I went to my son's property in Honeoye Falls and sat from 1:20 until 4:40 and never saw anything . Did I forget to mention that it was cold . The last half hour was the worst . My son runs his ATV on his property a lot so he had me wait until he drove out in case any deer were around I wouldn't get busted and give away the Hub Blind . I plan to go back again tomorrow . Being retired is pretty rough .

See if this one works . The other was PRIVATE and I had to delete it and start over .

As soon as I click on the link on my computer , it opens . I hope it works for you . The caller works quite well and it was inexpensive .

I made a video a few years ago and posted it here . It was on Photo Bucket and no longer shows due to their 3rd party policy , etc . I uploaded it to YouTube and here it is .......

A bit more of humor

I had intended to hunt tomorrow afternoon with the muzzle loader but had second thoughts . At noon the forecast in Mendon is 20 degrees with a real feel of -2 degrees and winds at 24 mph coming from WNW .

I wonder if what was left to the carcass that the OP found was that of the deer he was tracking . Hard to believe that a deer could be stripped of everything over night . Just an opinion .

I don't mind posting pics of the deer that I have killed .

There are deer out there . They have just gotten smarter . Saturday when my oldest son and I were hunting in Geneseo , he wasn't seeing anything until I went into the thickets . 5 doe ran out of there and met up with another 5 that was in the back of the woods . I have had deer pics on the trail cams all summer but now pics are quite sparse .

I was ready to lock this thread but won't .... for now . Many of the responses on this thread are pure sophomoric . If you don't like a thread , don't bother reading more of it and make attacking posts . The people that are doing this bullshit know exactly who they are !

C'mon up and clean my gutters next year . I'll pay you $75 for the job . Bring your own ladder that can reach 22 feet ..........

The way some people Tail-Gate and drink in the stadium , I wonder if there will be a high rate of accidents on the road . Drunks spilling beer on people and pissing in the wash fountain spoiled attending the games for me . Gave up my season tickets several years ago .

Finally broke the ice (in more ways than one) yesterday . It was very very cold but I was in an elevated blind out of the wind for the most part . Never heard a shot until after 8 am . Somewhere around 10:30 a deer came out of the thick area and started up the field . It was over 100 yards and my binos were fogged up so I didn't even pick them up . It appeared to be a good size doe . I was hoping it would stop somewhere in an opening between the trees . It did but it was facing me .I hadn't taken a shot all season and took a head on shot while the deer was facing me . It didn't run but walked off slowly . I thought I had missed and waited about 15 minutes before going to check . I didn't see any blood where the deer was standing but when I got to the thick stuff where it had gone in , I saw blood . Thank you SNOW . I could see big blood spots where it had laid and then a trickle here and there when it moved . There were hoof prints all over in the thickets so it was deceiving . The deer was wandering all over . I saw where it went into the neighbor's field so I called him and told him what I was doing . No problem . When I walked into the woods my son said he saw a deer acting funny and saw that it was bleeding but it was way to far for him to shoot at . I decided to sit in a stand for a while as I was pushing the deer . My son said that he saw 5 deer come out of the thickets and meet up with another 5 in the back of the woods. After a half hour I got down and picked up the trail again . I found the deer - a Spike - He was 50 yards north of my SILs . Dragged him onto my SILs property and then had to make the long walk to get my ATV . All that walking and I was whipped . Got the ATV and sled and was able to get into the woods without burying the thing as it was wet back there and in the pond field as neither drains . Took the deer to my son's home . We skinned and cut it up after supper . It was frozen but we got it done . Lost the back left quarter as there was a lot of coagulation . And ... to think that I passed on 4 pointers and shot a spike but it was a good deer to get out of the gene pool . Here are a couple pics of the Spike , the view of where he was when I shot him and a picture of the buck on the trail cam .

According to my FitBit , i took 15, 689 steps today and went almost 7 miles . That darned spike gave me a workout ! He zigged and zagged and went all over the place . As much as I hate snow it was a blessing today but that spike left some pretty good blood to follow !

The doe that I shot was a spike. Took 2 and a half hours to find him. Going after the atv. I hope I don't get it stuck My phone clock was off by 1 hour. I think it is okay now . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I did something I said I would never do. Shot at a doe head on at about 100 yards. I hit her lost the trail and found it again. She lost a lot of blood but keeps on moving. My son spotted her but couldn't get a shot. He said she was bleeding front and rear. Going to wait an hour before tracking her more . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I am so bored. Haven't seen anything. Heard a few shots south and west of me this morning. My son in the woods about 250 yards from where I am . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
