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 .

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 !

Maybe if you updated your Profile to show where you are located someone nearby might be able to help you . No sense if someone tells you that there is 308 ammo that you want in Buffalo if you lived in Queens . Where are you ?

A guy I went to school with took the head of a beautiful buck and was going to have it mounted . The DEC came to his house and demanded he turn it over to them . At first he denied having it but was told that if he didn't hand it over , they would further investigate and prosecute him . He gave in ..... which leads me to believe that it is illegal .

What the heck is with the rain forecast this week . Looks like the days I can hunt that it will have showers .

Better luck next time ....

Maybe if you had been fed Treats like the bear , you might have been able to ........

The Avon Gun Shop had them for $ 8.00 . That's where I got mine .

Another day in the great outdoors . I was in my stand in Pittsford at 6:10 am . Sat back and closed my eyes for a few minutes . It was a dark walk but still didn't need a light to see as I knew the trail . Stayed in the stand until almost noon and barely caught a glimpse of something crossing the upper trail earlier . Looked like a small deer . Shot a couple of practice arrows at my 30 yard openings . Bow is fine . Drove to Mendon and got something to eat and drink then drove over to my son's house to use the john . Talked for a bit and then headed back to hunting site . Snipped a couple limbs to improve a shooting lane and climbed back into the stand . Sat there from 3 - 6:45 and saw 3 anterless deer off in the distance . And ..... what is it with hawks ? I had a small hawk swoop down and head straight toward me . I flinched and ducked and it veered off about 5 feet away . That's twice in this area that I have had hawks real close .

Congrats --- nice going !
