Tire tracks to the side of the road and footprints in the snow to where the carcass was laying . No hide and all the meat was off the bones . I doubt that a Wegman's Shopper left it there .

like Ron White says , " You can't fix stupid " !

More like a squirrel watcher .............

I drove down to my friend's house in Walworth to drop off a Christmas present . Going across Plank Road just East of Monroe ? Wayne County Line road I saw what appeared to be a deer carcass and wondered if the yotes had been feeding off some road kill . On my return trip I pulled over and saw what appeared to be the carcass of a deer that was 5 feet from the road and it had apparently been dumped there . What kind of low life would do that ? Stuff like this makes hunters look bad . Whoever did this could have bagged it up and left it with the garbage for pickup rather than by the side of the road !

When I was younger , I was somewhat selective in taking shots . Now that I am 75 , I take what I can get . Getting that 1st deer of the season takes the pressure off . Taking that 1st bow kill is a confidence builder .

Get a bow that feels good in your hand . There are some great bow manufacturers and all bows don't feel the same . Some have a fat grip and some thin , etc .. No sense in buying a bow that's rated high but doesn't have the right feel .

It's all good when sitting out in the cold pays off ! I was expecting another bummer of a day .

Do you allow them in your basement apartment ? Looks good Senor Uptown .

I am content with the way the seasons are right now .

Sometimes the Bow Shops reduce the price of the bows when the new models come out . Not sure when that happens .

Merry Christmas Tiny Tim !

I posted today's outing In Fast Eddie's Fables .... It was a good , no Great day !

Deer season ended well for me . I expected another crappola day of hunting and sat in a blind at my son's property . At about 4 pm I spotted some movement and saw 3 deer slowly approaching . All were doe . I put my NEF Huntsman 50 cal on the shooting sticks and when the big doe turned sideways , I squeezed off a shot . She ran off and I thought , how could I miss at 45-50 yards . Damn ! I reloaded .The other two had moved back but were probably wondering what happened . I put the ML on the sticks again and took another shot as the doe stepped into the opening . She dropped , got up and ran . I waited about 5 minutes and figured I had better check as I had about a half hour before sunset . When I went to where I knew I had hit the 2nd doe I saw blood going off in the direction that the 1st doe ran in . Found the doe about 50 yards from where I hit her and then went to look for the 1st doe . Found her about 80-90 yards from where I had hit her . My son came out to see how I did and said they only heard one shot from the house . He got the ATV and sled and came back to pick up the deer after I had field dressed them . The neighbor came over to see how I had done as Matt asked him if he might be able to have the kids play in the front yard instead of out back just for today and I thanked him for doing so . He is a real nice guy and a retired Sheriff Deputy .

Shot two doe around 4:10 & 4:15. Hung them at my son's. Story later. Getting coffee . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Are the deer still on daylight savings time ? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I will be doing my last afternoon sit at my son's property in Honeoye Falls . Then it will be time to put all the hunting gear away . I already cleaned my rifle and shotgun . From what I have been seeing , it's hard to be optimistic about seeing any deer .

According to the New York Outdoor News , that is out for 2017 and won't happen .

The plus side of hunting in this weather is ..... You get to warm your hands while you field dress the deer !

I love my 25-06 . Have taken many deer with it . I also do my own reloading for that rifle . I have a NEF single shot Handi-Rifle . I prefer the single shots . A 270 will probably do the same as the 25-06 and the ammo for the 270 is less expensive .

Fletch - You never know when the deer will show up . I will go to my son's property this afternoon . I hope you get a deer this am for you efforts . Git 'r done !

Apparently the tree that cracked isn't the only one in the woods that has Sap in it . OOPS , did I say that ? The Devil made me do it .

They polled a lot of Illegal Mexicans ........

Didn't see anything during my afternoon sit . My son's neighbor's kids were playing out back making a lot of noise . They were a ways away but loud . Thought if anything was out back they might kick it over to me but nos such luck . One more afternoon sit and I am done .
