Sat in a stand in Geneseo this am from 6:45 to 10 am . Had 2 doe and a fawn feeding in the neighbor's field from 8:15 to 8:30 . That was it . I acquired a col and felt pretty crappy . Took a walk to the woods and checked out the cameras . When I unlocked on of them , the locking tab was broken and the SD card was gone . This is my SILs property and the same woods where 6 posted signs were removed . Someone is screwing around here . I helped my SIL with a couple jobs and left . Stopped at WalMart and got some medication for the cold . Sat in my stand on a friend's property in Walworth for almost 3 hours and saw zilch . Going to rest up tomorrow as I feel terrible !

Watched 2 doe and a fawn feed in neigh field for about 15 minutes . 60 yards away . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I will be off to Geneseo again tomorrow morning . I hope the farmer has the beans combined so I can take the ATV to the woods . THe grass is high and it's like a swamp trying to get past the pond . If I tried , I would probably bury the ATV . The pond leaks and the water has no where to go but just lay there . It has been too wet for the guy who mows the trails for the GVHC ( Tally Ho the Fox ) . If the beans are down , I can ride around it .

Has anyone used Trimmer String to alter the weight of their arrows ? I recall reading an article where they added weight to the arrows by cutting some Trimmer String , pulling off the nock and putting the Trimmer String inside . I have some carbon arrows that are 56 grains lighter than my hunting arrows . I will have to give it a try .

Gena - Welcome to Hunting NY

I have the Outdoor Channel but don't watch it .......... Hunting shows have too many commercials and it irritates me to watch someone shoot a deer and then show it again and have the guy explain what just happened . I saw it .... I don't need to listen to a lot of needless BS . What's the big deal about going to a Game Ranch , having them set up stands or shooting boxes over a food plot where the owner knows where the deer come out . After shooting a deer , they often still whisper and when tracking the shooter is so surprised when he spots the downed deer . There is the camera man standing on the other side of the deer filming the excited shooter as he approaches the dead deer . Gimmee a break ! Hank Parker sounds like he has a mouth full of crap and I could never stand Jackie Bushwhacker from Buckmasters .

I agree . With my luck the deer would probably hang around and I would get busted letting down on the draw .

I shoot the Arrow Dynamics Nitro Stinger Orange arrows with an 8 grain per inch weight . I have the 4" Qwik-Spin vanes and the Rage 100 grain expandables . My 4 hunting arrows vary from 437.4 to 433.7 grains ( difference of 3.7 grains . http://www.nitrostinger.com/store/store_product_detail.cfm?Product_ID=8

Hey, was that a hole in one ? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I was in my stand almost an hour before Sunrise . At 7 am I had a doe 25 yards away . I asked her to come back in a half hour . after a couple minutes she wandered off . Saw another doe about 200+ yards away just cruising slow across the area . My oldest son said he was leaving at 10 and I said I was going to hang out until 11 . Before I got out of the stand I shot one of my field tip arrows at a dark patch 31 yards away . It was spot on . Glad I had a Lighted Nock or I might have had a difficult time finding the arrow . The ground looked a lot different on the ground than it did from the stand . The stand is a 15 foot ladder stand and is on a bank that is 10 feet higher than the ground level of the field . I checked out the property for other possibilities to set up in the area . Got something to eat in Mendon and then checked out another property that we used to hunt on . It didn't look so great but you never know . Came home and replaced the wheel hub and bearings on my work trailer . I probably won't get out again until this coming Wednesday .

I don't watch many hunting shows but I remember one of Hank Parkers sons shooting a hole in a ground blind. I was surprised that they showed his mistake Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I haven't done clothes shopping in years. Shopping with wife for clothes was brutal . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I have seen 2 doe so far. One was within 25 yards. That was at 7 am. I wish she had waited another 31 minutes . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I will be heading for Mendon in a few minutes to hunt with my older son . Just doing a morning hunt as it will be quite warm this afternoon .

I had a pair of work shoes hanging in the garage . Hadn't worn them in over a year . Got them down to wear to work today . Both of the shoes had sunflower chafe in them . The mice must have crawled across the beams went down the laces and stored seeds in the shoes .

Get those little bastards !

Spent the day in Geneseo . Was in my stand early . Sat back and relaxed . At 7:18 am 2 doe and a fawn walked through the middle of the bean field over 100 yards out . They milled around for about 10 minutes and went back the way they came . That was it for the morning sightings . Got out of the stand at 10 am . I walked down the laneway to check another stand and saw where the strap for the brace to that ladder stand had broke . Went up to my ATV and back to the car . Called my SIL to see if she wanted a couple of jobs done and she was going somewhere with one of her horses so they left me off the hook . Went down to Geneseo , got something to eat and took care of a few things . Went back to my SILs property and headed for the stand with the broken strap . Put a new on on and climbed in for a long afternoon . I was in the stand from 2:30 until almost 6:30 . Between 5:15 and 5:52 I saw 5 doe , 1 fawn and a buck in the field next to my SILs property . The closest was at least 50 yards from my stand . The buck came charging out of the woods and chased a doe down the field . Grabbed my gear and went to my ATV . Drove up to wear I was parked . When I got there , there was a PU truck half way in the road with his lights flashing and not to far from my trailer . Apparently when he came around the curve a buck ran out and he hit it . The guy said it was a monster . It was probably one of the 4 points I saw the other day . There was plastic and some glass scattered in the road and it was difficult to get people to slow down . The driver was damn near deaf and his wife was screaming for people to slow down . A neighbor called the accident in and a Trooper showed up . I left . At least it wasn't another boring day !

After having a small chest freezer crap out a few years ago , I put a remote thermometer in the new freezer . I have the receiver by the computer . It is 8.1 degrees .

Isn't it kinda early for bucks to be chasing doe ? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
