Nice going Fletch . Glad you cashed in on some venison !

Getting ready to head out to Geneseo to sit out in some 42 degree weather . Brrrrrrrrrrrr !

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

I agree . Some of it is just plain luck like being in the right tree stand at the right time . I watched deer go by one of my stands when I was about 250 yards away . If I had been in that stand , I would have had a shot . As "luck" would have it , I wasn't . I ate all my tags last year for the 1st time in many years but I still enjoyed being out in nature .

No day time pics .............

Just get out there and hunt and while you're at it , get a new girl friend ......

I'll buy that !

Set up a Black-Flash Trail Cam overlooking that specific area / spot and get pics of them . Make sure the camera is locked and well hidden .

Congrats ! Beautiful looking deer !

Well , today wasn't a complete waste . I drove to my friend's property on County Line Road in Walworth . There was a dead roadkill doe about15 feet from his driveway entrance . My friend was getting ready for work and I let him know about the deer and he dragged it out of the road . I was in the stand by 6:40 and it was quiet out there . At 8:20 I saw some movement through the trees and it was two young does making their way through . A couple of times they were around 25 yards away but there was too much brush in the way to get a shot . I was tempted to try but I didn't let the desperation get the best of me . At least I had a couple near the stand .

I have a 10 mile ride to take in a few minutes . Being optimistic and taking the trailer with me .

Yeah , I am heading out in a few minutes to sit in the cold ...........

I don't believe in Sunday Hunting . Sundays are sacred . Sundays are for FOOTBALL !

Uhhhh , that should be Deere . The farmer harvested the beans in the field I hunt near in Geneseo and the deer showed up that night .

I'd probably have better luck hunting along Rt 104 between Ontario and Bay Rd Exit in Webster . A fair amount of Road Kill there .

From the trail cam pics ( oops ! shouldn't mention that ) , the deer seem to travel in cycles . Actually , I should wait until Tuesday am for them to return .

I might try Walworth in the am . No sense in driving to Geneseo just to hunt the am .

A fresh pic from yesterday

Looks like a lot of rain in the afternoon ........ http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/walworth-ny/14568/hourly-weather-forecast/2146101?hour=33

Starting to get frustrated .... Went to Geneseo yesterday and was in a stand in the pond field around 6:20 am . Had the sun to my back and waited . At about 7:50 I saw a doe and 2 fawns walking along the edge of the harvested bean field . They walked right past a stand that I have in a lane-way and were over 200 yards away . Thought they might come my way but as luck would have it , they didn't . Left the stand at 11 and got something to eat and drink . Drove over to my sister-in-laws and made a couple repairs for her . Took an hour nap and headed back out to another stand . Around 6 pm , just before it rained , I saw 3 doe way across the neighbor's field . Got going before taking a chance on getting soaked . Might head back to Geneseo tomorrow .

Welcome to Hunting NY

It's an old one but I laugh whenever I think about it . I don't drink so those slow brain cells are still with me . I guess that explains a lot !

Ohhhh , what the heck . The site is still here . Party On Dudes ( and Dude-ettes ) !

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin said to his buddy, Norm Peterson: "Well, ya see, Norm, it's like this.. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members! ; In much the same way, the brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Some stores will only sell a maximum number of boxes of ammo to a given customer as many are hoarding the ammo . No doubt the hoarder's excuse is to make sure they will have enough when the Zombi Apocalypse occurs . The ammo will probably turn green before it ever gets used !
