My worse hunting day ever !!!! I was in a stand in Geneseo by 6:45 . I was at the very South end of a LaneWay where the wind was in my face . About 7:45 a small buck came within 20 yards and sniffed the ground where I had a Honeysuckle smoke stick lit . He was there maybe 3 minutes and wandered into the bean filed . He had been looking down the laneway so I thought more deer might be coming . Not a chance . It had been cold and windy and some small limbs had been hitting the ladder stand . I thought I would shoot mt 2 target arrows so I removed my arrow wit the broadhead but ..... the broadhead was missing . I don't know how it unscrewed but it was gone . Looked below where it should have fallen but no luck .I could only imagine what would have happened if I had shot at a deer with no point on an arrow . Duh ! I went up to my car , put my gear away , changed my clothes and went to McDonald's in Geneseo to get a coffee and a burger . I parked and walked in as I didn't want to go through the Drive-Thru with the trailer & ATV . Got warmed up and left . My passenger side trailer light looked odd and I checked it out . It was busted up pretty good . Either someone hit the trailer or busted the light to be a jerk . Drove to WalMart and bought a replacement . Had to buy a crimper kit as I didn't have mine with me . Spent some time getting the broken one off and got the new one one . It wouldn't work . Went over to Tractor Supply and bought a different replacement . I couldn't get that to work either . Drove home as I didn't want to be driving at night with the light not working . It wouldn't be as noticeable during daylight hours . My afternoon hunt was a no go ! When I got home , I backed the trailer in the garage , grabbed a cup of coffee and played with the light some more . Got it to work . Back in action . I still wonder how the trailer light got smashed ........ I hope that there are better days ahead !

Kinda breezy here in Geneseo. Had a small buck 20 yards upwind of me at 7 45. He posed but I didn't draw. In a couple weeks I might change my mind. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

The power has been out since 5:15 last night . Sure glad I invested in the Whole House Generator !

Your hunting buddy , Phade , will probably shoot him .

My oldest son and I hunted in Mendon yesterday . I saw 2 doe . The closest one was 65 yards away . I was down wind and they never looked my way . My son saw an 8 point basket rack buck . We quit at 10 am as it was getting rather warm . I think I will give Geneseo a try Monday as it looks to be quite cool .

I no longer use a drag rope . I switched to a sled long ago . Much easier . Sled is 66" long

Well , Rob-C , when are you going to add up all the ages and come out with an average ?

Sat in a stand in Mendon for 3 hours this am. Saw 2 doe. Closest was 65 yards away. Didn't have a cross bow so I didn't shoot My son saw a basket rack 8 point. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Saw a doe at 7 30. Watched her cross through the grass for about 10 minutes. She was 65 yards away. Just saw another doe run across the field. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I will be heading for Mendon in a few minutes. Hope a big one comes by instead of those fork horns . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Larry D Jones spoke at one of the dinners held by the Hunters of the Almighty in Rochester several years ago . He didn't impress me . His talk was about hunting and calling Elk and came across as pompous . oh , and he didn't like Chuck Adams .........

When the buck you are hunting is friends with a beaver ............

Are you serious ? I think you have things mixed up !

I havn't found any rain gear that isn't noisy or doesn't cause me to sweat wearing it . Hunting in a misty rain or slight drizzle isn't too bad but I am out of there if there is a downpour . I wear the fleece Scent Blocker camo and if I sit in a mild drizzle , it feels like an extra 4 pounds when it gets wet .

I get sleepy in the stand . After a while on no action I get bored and feel tired .

Another Bummer of a day . Started out in Mendon and was in the stand by 6:30 . Had another 4 point at around 25 yards at 7:30 . Thought it was going to be a good day . Nothing after that Went to my car , got something to eat and drove to Walworth . Sat in my treestand in in the shade the swamp . Mosquitoes were a nuisance . Got down from the stand at 6:30 . It was a long day !

Been sitting in the stand at the swamp in Walworth. No deer. Been watching the ducks swim in circles . Bored stiff. Damn dogs at the kennel over a mile away have been barking all afternoon. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Just had a 4 point go by less than 30 yards. I know there are some big bucks in the area . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Fog is rolling in . Can't see much more than 100 yards . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Sitting in a stand in Mendon. Had to walk through wet grass. Trousers wet up to thighs. Forgot seat pad again. Started putting pack in tote and have to remove pad to do. At least I remembered all the rest of my crap. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday Belo ..........

This should help some of you

There are aps for phones that will track a trail and the way back . Check out the play store on your phone .

My youngest son , Nick , and I met at the property in Geneseo this am . We headed for the woods about 6:15 . On the way a deer blew in the pasture lot East of us and did it for a while . When we got lose to where we turned onto my SILs property we could see the forms of a half dozen deer in the bean field . As we started to cross , a deer bolted from the thick stuff and ran into the bean field . It was only about 25 yards ahead of us . We got to our stands and settled it . There was a light drizzle from the time we left our cars . I saw 2 doe heading south out of the woods over 150 yards away at 7:20 and another doe heading the same direction at about 8 am . At around 9 am I saw what looked to be a coyote running North through the woods . That was it for me . Nick saw a doe with a fawn . I did a slow walk across the woods , headed North to the end of the property and then waled East on the North end and then sat in one of our other stands facing North . I noticed that the posted signs I put up last year were in good shape until I came across one that sheet was missing from ..... the next 5 were the same . I have no doubt that someone ripped them off of the plywood . The staples were intact and the sheet were totally missing and nothing to be found in the woods .
