My son and I arrived at the Pittsford spot at about the same time . Got hunting clothes on and headed down the hill . I put out a couple of plain doe pee scent wicks and Nick sprayed a bit of buck bomb on the ground . We were in the stands bu 6:30 and legal time was 7:40 . Didn't see a damned thing all morning and we stayed until 11 am . Bummer ! This was the spot where I had shot a doe on the 11th . It was overcast and the sun didn't show up . The air was damp and the temp was about 50 degrees .

Did one of the guys say " Hey , hold my beer and watch this " !

Will be heading for Pittsford - Mendon in a short bit . Plan to hunt with my youngest son today . Sure hope the rain has stopped . The wind is forecasted to be from the WSW and go up to 18 mph by late morning . Sheesh !

Bacon said he puts the does in estrus with a blowgun so there must be something non the dart .........

Welcome to Hunting NY .............

Lawdwaz --- apparently she didn't make it through the winter . It looks like your BIG FOOT is blocking her front left leg . Nice try !

Fletch ---- That sounds like something Wooly would say .............

I believe this is what he was eluding to

Congrat .... nice going !

Didn't see anything while sitting for 3 hours . Gotta replace that chain-on stand as there isn't much depth to the seat and my ass hurt sitting on it . I plan to move a ladder stand that I have about 100 yards away and take down the chain-on . They must have been combining beans on the other side of the woods as there was a lot of racket over there . On the bright side ..... I had a couple bowls of Venison Chili when I got home .

Gonna head out for a friend's property in Walworth in a few minutes . I have a 5 quart crock pot full of chili simmering so I can't wait to get back home and have a couple bowls of Venison Chili . We havn't been seeing much on the cams in a while daytime but some show up during the dark hours . Anyway , i'll check it out . Can't shoot anything from here .

I thought the OP was talking about Quivers / Broadheads for Recurve Bows . Quivers for compounds is pretty much a no-brainer .

My oldest son shoots a recurve and makes his own footed shafts . He has , what I believe is a shoulder / back quiver and sliced one of his fingers on a blade . I don't see why these quivers don't have more depth on the blade end to better protect the blades and make it safer . He shoots with single bevel blades and they are sharp !

Welcome to Hunting NY ...........

Nice going Griz !

Great looking deer . Congrats !

The Poconos covers quite a bit of area . Is there a specific area that they are concerned with ?

Grow --- give him a couple more years ..... yeah , right .

Those legless deer don't run very fast !

Another exciting day came to an end . I headed for South Bristol around 5 am . Saw a couple doe by the roadside on Co road 28 and thought today is going to be a great day . Got there just a couple minutes before my oldest son arrived . We got our gear ready and headed down the hill on the south side of the gulley in pitch black ( we used our headlamps ) . I put out a couple of plain doe pee scent wicks , put on my HSS harness and climbed into the ladder stand . A lot of squirrels running around . Around 9 am I saw some movement way down in the small gulley behind me . It was turkeys ..... at least 11 of them . Stayed in the stand until 11 am . My son walked down by the bottom stand and then came up along the edge of the grassy field thinking he might push something to me . Not ! Oh yeah , heard a few shotgun blasts down by the lake ... duck hunters . Also heard at least 1/2 dozen rifle shots . What the heck . We met at our vehicles to grab some lunch . I had brought a foot long sub to share . Heard another dozen rifle shots while we were at our vehicles . Took a power nap and was back in the stand by 2 pm . I stayed there until 6:11 . This used to be our Honey Hole . Not sure what has changed to affect the area .

It's gonna be a bit nippy this am in South Bristol plus the wind will be picking up . I just hope it turns out to be a good hunt .

Deer sightings havn't been great but I look forward to seeing any deer when I am out . They have gotten so much trickier in the past 50 years .

My oldest son and I plan to meet at a friend's property in South Bristol tomorrow am . We havn't hunted this area in several years but put up some stands over a month ago . I always liked this spot because even if I didn't get a shot , I always enjoyed seeing deer there . I have taken a few out of this area . A couple of gun hunters kinda screwed it up for everyone else when they tresspassed and messed it up for everyone else . We have only bow hunted there but were shut out for a few years . It's about a 50 mile drive for me .

I can hardly wait !
