Welcome to Hunting NY

Nuttin ! Drove to my spot in Pittsford - Mendon and was in the stand by 6:30 . I had put out a couple plain doe pee scent wicks . Sat there until 10:30 and saw NOTHING . The wind was okay except it was cold and blowing on my neck . I don't like hoods and had removed it some time ago . I ended up changing hats and put a hand warmer pad on my neck so it wouldn't stiffen up . I saw the lady from across the street and asked if I had waked her up when I parked and she said she didn't even know I was there . She asked if I had gotten a deer yet . I told her that I had gotten a doe a week ago across for her home . She said good that it was one less deer eating her plants . I will probably go to Geneseo Wednesday . and give that another try . There will be a fox hunt and maybe the riders / dogs will kick something out .

The Archery doe tag I had , had the top part for that tag printed on the bottom of the previous tag ...............

Going to Pittsford Mendon spot for a morning hunt . Light southern wind forecasted with rain in the afternoon . I will be alone so if I can get another deer it will be a long slow drag . Gonna be ccccccold !

Sounds like you might want to carry an extra pair of shorts in your back-pack !

Welcome to Hunting NY

There aren't any bear in Letchworth . I saw a sign by Wolf Creek that said Bear Left !

This morning was a waste . I drove to Mendon as it showed no rain until 10 am . It was a light sprinkle most of the way . I was in my stand by 6:30 and the sprinkles just kept up . Never saw a blessed thing and left at 9 am as I was pretty wet . I am guessing that the deer were a lot smarter than I am and stayed where they wouldn't get soaked . I sat in the stand that I shot the doe from last Saturday . When I got there I paced off 20 yards a put a distance marker with a scent wick at what I figured was 20 yards . It ranged at 19 yards . Close !

Congrats on the buck .

John ---- I am getting a sore neck . Turn your pics 90 degrees . Have you checked out the Woodstock Museum ? Pretty neat !

I havn't been out bow hunting since last Saturday . We were going to South Bristol tomorrow but decided to hunt closer to my son's home since so much rain is in the forecast . I am going to hunt Pittsford near the Mendon border and my oldest son will be hunting a few miles away on Rt 251 in Mendon . I'll be hunting from the spot where I shot the doe last week . I hope the deer will cooperate again . Rain , rain , go away !

Very interesting ........ but stupid !

I think you mis-spelled Tofu Hunter !

I agree . If it's legal ..... shoot her .

Welcome to Hunting NY

I never cared for the term either . It just sounds soooo wrong . But then , it's a personal thing . I consider the doe tags valuable and don't want to use them on small deer . I would rather field dress and process one large doe than to take 2 small ones . As far as many farmers feel , shoot them all .

BJ's in Webster has Regular gas for $3.259 ............

Good job . I only had to do that once when a fawn was taking forever to cross a field . I could see with the binos that her leg was messed up . I put her down , used a tag and called the DEC in Avon . I was told that if the meat was damaged , they would give me a replacement tag . A couple years ago a friend who doesn't let anyone hunt his property , called and asked me to put down a doe that he came across and was laying in his wooded area bleeding out . I shot her and tagged her as I had one to spare . Brought her home and skinned her . There was a grayish - white liquid running through the meat . I threw the whole deer in the garbage tote . I think the liquid was the breakdown of the fat in the deer's body .

Sold ! Yeeeeeehaaaaaaa !

Say what ? Could you put that in English .......

I though Field and Stream was connected to DICKs somehow .

The off season Dummy doesn't scratch his ass and pick his nose !

Well , slap my ass and call me Sally . I finally got a live body to talk to and got'r done ! When asked for the Doc # in the left hand corner , I used the number there but it is my ID # . There is no Doc # on the tag . It got printed at the bottom of the previous tag . Anyway it's a done deal and I checked the rest of my deer tags to be sure things are okay .
