Woodchuck --- I'll give you a 2 thumbs up on that !

Nice Kitty Cat

They don't seem to be camera shy either ........

Camera is near where the deer jump the fence by a wild apple tree

That's right . Move the sight not the rest . If you start moving the rest you could have clearance problems .

What a ham ! He shot the deer , it ran off , why is he whispering ? I was told by a DEC guy one time that if you hunted over an apple tree it was okay but if you piled up those apples you were baiting .

Shipping costs would probably be outrageous . I will check at the post office and see what it would cost and pm you . I am talking about the full harness that comes with the stands . If you need a ladder stand , why not just buy one and you would get a harness with it . Just a thought .

I had planned on heading back to Geneseo tomorrow but heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecasted . Darn the weather !

Happy Birthday !

Here are pics of the stand and the area

I really don't care what he scores . I couldn't think of a better Topic to post . I want to see that bad boy in broad daylight !

If she was told to "haul ass" , she'd have to make 3 trips !

Hope you recover the deer ..... keep at it .

The old guy who has a Mower Repair shop had a box of 22's on the counter . I asked"why the ammo" and he said , "didn't you see the sign" ? He had that same sign on the wall . Funny

He came to the camera on several occasions so he wasn't spooked ........ more of a show off .

Hunted in Geneseo this am . Was set-up in the stand by 6:20 am . Deer have been hitting an apple tree near a pasture lot fence and it was 35 yards from the stand I was in . Didn't see a thing . It raine lightly around 7 am and then came down pretty good around 8 . I had taken an old umbrella with me . I wedged it between the croch in the tree and kept from getting soaked . It had some holes and occasionally I would get some water . Left the stand at 10:30 and checked 2 trail cams . Went to my car , got something to eat , used the john and went to another stand about 700 yards from the morning stand . I should have been in that stand in the am but would have gotten soaked . There was a doe about 12 yards from the stand at 11:08 am and I checked the camera at 2:45 pm before climbing into the stand . That camera is still one day ahead . The pics attached are 10/05/13 not 10/06/13 . It started raining again at 6:15 so I gathered my gear and started the long walk back . As I got near the am stand I looked up the field and 2 bucks were standing about 120 yards away . The smaller one bolted after a couple minutes and they jumped the fence into the pasture lot . I headed East on Lima road and about 1/2 mile from where I had parked a doe ran across the road in front of me . Then another 1/2 mile and 3 doe were standing in the ditch waiting to cross but ran into the corn field .

I use AccuWeather --- It shows East then ENE for the area I will hunt . Should be okay except for the rain forecast .

Nice going ! Congrats

Jeremy ---- that looks like a pig with antlers ......

I forgot to mention that Wednesday afternoon a small Hawk landed on a branch about 10' above me . I caught the movement and looked up to see it landing . A few seconds later it let out a terrible noise and startled me . Gave me goose bumps !

Good point but I bet if the thief / thieves couldn't get it to work , they would just toss it . Still a lost camera . On the plus side --- the damned thief wouldn't be able to use it ! kids may have stolen them for drug money . That seems to be the going thing now days !

Going to give Geneseo a try Saturday . Rain is forecasted at 7 am and 1 pm but ya gotta do what ya gotta do .

If you have the time ...... Do it . Someone coming in later on an adjacent property might kick somethig your way .

Welcome to Hunting NY

Opening am in Honeoye Falls , saw 2 doe , 2 fawns and a spike . Nothing close enough to shoot .Went to Mendon in the afternoon and saw nothing . Yesterday afternoon I returned to Mendon . Saw 2 bucks . The guy we share stands with shot a big bodied 7 point . It had a huge lump off the side of its neck . That looked nasty but I doubt it would affect the meat . My youngest son was with me . We helped the guy get it back to his truck and loaded up . Today I Put my mower deck back on the mower that I had repaired and mowed the yard and then used the lawn sweeper . Went to Walworth and sat in a stand for 3 hours . Heard a loud crash that was probably a widow maker falling and saw 3 deer run from that area . Not sure what they were . Taking tomorrow off to regroup .
