Do squirrels have a game plan or do they just go place to place at random? The little tree rats are everywhere. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Too many cut trails for the fox hunters. Too many choices for the deer to take. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Yeah , like we really needed to read that !

Stopped off at DICKs in Webster . Long line but I waited . The holdup was guys buying their licenses and getting the permits also . Anyone that already had a license was processed quick . Was able to get a 8H and a 8N anter less permit . Now all I need is to get a shot at some deer !

Heck , I am still waiting for the 1st shot this season !

Rob --- You are soooo lucky ! Good thing you checked things over before trying to drive any farther .

I was planning on hunting in either Mendon or South Bristol tomorrow with my youngest son but we cancelled out . Mendon is forecasted for rain a good part of the am . South Bristol is forecasted for rain in the early am ( 7 am ) and the wind will be from the south west which is bad for our stand locations . I guess i'll be back out Monday . Still waiting for my 1st shot of the Season .

Well , the good part is , it was a clean miss rather than a bad hit . Better luck on your next shot .

If your shot was high , I have 2 questions . * Were you shooting from a tree stand ? * If you were shooting from a tree stand , did you bend at the waist or did you stay upright and lower your bow arm ?

Tightness was mentioned several times when using the heated insoles in boots . Don't most boots have removable insoles in them that can be taken out to make room for the heated insoles ?

I have one of the older type Fiskars that has a knob that gets tightened . It doesn't tighten enough and is a pain in the neck to use . I stopped at Wal-Mart in Webster and checked out their Tree Pruners . They had the grey colored Fiskers on clearance for $16.25 so I bought one and tried it out . Not bad . I went back and bought 2 more for a couple of my sons . They weren't on clearance in Macedon or Geneseo . Two for the price of one .

On second thought , those Hothands Insole foot warmers aren't so great or I did something foolish . Yesterday am I put on a pair of socks and then applied the adhesive foot warmers and put on another pair of socks and then my boots . My feet were fairly warm but towards the afternoon , it was irritating to walk and I should have taken the foot warmers off . My stubbornness said no and I left them in . It was 1/2 mile from my stand to the car and I walked it four times . My feet hurt and when I got home and took off the boots and socks , I checked out the warmers . The ingredients in the warmers had crystallized and it felt like the stuff was the size of rock salt or very small sharp pebbles . I have a couple more pair of theses but don't know if I want to try them . Maybe I will just go back to the "toe warmers" .

Nice going Moog ! Looks like a Harbor Freight tarp ..........

Sunset was at 6:07 and I got out of the stand at 5:55 . Had enough for one day . Spooked 2 deer picking up my scent wicks and spooked 2 more walking up the lane way . All in all , I saw 6 anterless deer today . Saw 4 more when driving down Lima Road .

According to the OP's profile , he is from Suffolk County . If that is where he was hunting , sunset was at 5:46 pm yesterday . He shot at 6:15 or later . Shouldn't have taken the shot !

Shot a practice arrow this am at 25 yards. It looked to be right on. Later when I got down I couldn't find the arrow. Every thing on the ground looked the same. I got out my range finder and did a reverse look op from the line of fire. When I was at 25 yards I looked down in the high grass and was able to spot the Nock and some fetching. Those range finders are great. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Back in the Pod Blind stand. Not seeing anything. Maybe I will stop at Rochester General on the way home later and see if any deer showed up. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
