Went to my friend's property in Walworth . Was in my ladder stand by 6:40 . Around 7:15 there was a slight sprinkle . Around 8 , it picked up and stayed steady . I was pretty much soaked and gave up at 9:45 . My boonie had felt like it weighed 10 pounds . I took it off a nd put on my cap . Never saw any deer and had great visability . Took off my gear at the car and realized my boonie hat was missing . Backtracked but never found it . Went through all my gear with no luck . Gotta dry out the hunting clothes . Saturday , I will go to Geneseo again .

I have an Indoor - Outdoor remote thermometer in two chest freezers . Thermometers are by my computer so they are easy to check . I learned my lesson after my Sears 7 cu ft freezer crapped out after having it for 13 months . Lost my venison plus a lot of other food . It had a 12 month warranty .

Welcome to Hunting NY

What is the cost per ticket ?

I don't think so . The Bidens don't have any body bags or had any acquaintances commit suicide .

Oct 17 --- No shot today but it still was an interesting day . I was in my Geneseo stand by a creek by 6:30 this morning . It was cccccold . Saw a doe and fawn at 7:23 and they stayed on the other side of the brush and left the area . At 10:30 , I had enough and walked up to my SILs barn . Talked to her for a few minutes and left to visit my older sister on Reservoir road . I slowed down as I approached the 4 way stop on Reservoir & Lakeville Groveland roads . Some IDIOT in a semi blew right through the intersection . Went back to my SILs property and tried to take a nap . Not much luck . Got in my stand over looking the previous bean field where the farmer had planted winter wheat . At 2:30 I saw movement and got out my cheap binos . It was a fox crossing the field about 350 yards away . Then nothing for hours . Around 5:50 , I saw movement way down in the neighbor's field . Two deer and they disappeared . Then 3 came out of the laneway 200 yards away and crossed the field . They must have gotten the notice on Social Distancing as they stayed about 50 yards apart . A couple minutes later 4 more came out and crossed the field and then 2 more . Nothing with antlers and all over 200 yards away . So in a 25 minute span , I saw 11 deer . So , it wasn't all that bad of a day .

Try different screws in the vacant hole to find one that has the same thread . Go to Lowes or Do IT Best hardware and get a set screw of that threading . If one of the screws vibrated loose , the other one can also . Get if fixed ASAP .

Going to give Geneseo another try tomorrow . I plan to use my stand near a creek that runs out of a gully . I will have to use my back-up bow as I kinda screwed up my regular Ben Pearson bow . My back-up is a 70# Parker bow . I felt the bottom wheel on the Ben Pearson TX4 and felt a sharp edge . I must have hit something with it . The wheel is aluminum and I can see where it dented over onto the cable a little bit . I could probably shoot the bow but think the dented spot could fray the cable . The only way to fix it would be to loosen the limbs , press the limbs to put slack in the cable and make the fix . I think I am better off using the backup bow . I put 30 shots through my back-up 70# Parker Phoenix EZ Draw and hope I am all set to go in the am .

Years ago my guys were on break and talking about the deer whistles that you mount on the bumper of a vehicle . I told them that if you mounted them backwards , they would attract deer . One of the guys said " I think you are full of crap but it sounds logical " ! I think he really believed me .

I use the HME mount also . Price is fine . You can rotate the camera on the mount and like Peepsight said , you can screw them in at an angle or bend them . No strap .

Welcome to hunting ny !

That's because you don't need 10 rocks to kill a "Deah" !

You beat Turkeyfeathers to this ........

Happy Birthday nybuckboy ! Have a great day !

The other thread is Pinned where it is in plain sight . If people choose to not post their Bow Kills there , it's their choice . Locking this thread would be unfair to some .

Harvest Thread only . No chit-chat . No congrats . Just the harvest post . Any other posts will be deleted . For those unaware, we are not supposed to comment in the harvest thread. Just post harvest pics and “likes” if you want.

Sat in one of my stands at my friend's swamp woods in Walworth from 2:30 to 6:30 . Didn't see any deer . Once the sun started going down , it got dark in the woods but still light over the dry swamp . It was dark driving on the way home and about 1/4 mile from Lincoln road and Plank road there was a doe standing about 5 yards off the highway . Don't they know that they are supposed to be in the woods !

I normally don't believe in hunting Sundays . I hold it sacred . That's time to watch the Bills Football . Since they are rescheduled to play Tuesday night I think I will go out tomorrow afternoon and try my luck at my friend's property in Walworth . Looks like it is going to be cooler Sunday afternoon .

Oct 9 -- Another exciting day in the Great Outdoors . I was in my stand in the thickets by 6:30 . Sat back and relaxed . Legal shooting time was 7:18 . Didn't see a thing . It was so quiet .... even the BlueJays weren't making any noise . Talked to my son who was in a stand in another thick area near the gulley lot . All he saw was a lone doe about 60 yards out in the field . We quit around 10:30 as it was getting to warm to hunt . Since I was in Geneseo , I drove to my sister's house and visited so the day wasn't a total waste !

Happy Birthday Neighbor !

I was told by a DEC officer that you had to be at least 30 feet from the center of a two lane road . It depends on who you ask and no doubt 2 DEC guys would tell you different rules .
