    Honestly I come from Long Island and had a cabin on roscoe. It got too crowded For me. Stuff like this happened so I sold the place and bought In the finger lakes. Way too far for weekend warriors I just have To put up with the jerks from Rochester! Lol

    Real nice buck, congratulations to the hunters! You also should be congratulated on keeping tabs on this giant and sharing it with us!

    8P all the deer were using the scrapes over the weekend. I read an article about a trickle rut in place this year. I think the scrapes stay active for a couple more weeks.

    Grow is this the big 9 that was shot??

    Was this guy wearing just camo? I haven't read an article that states this but some of you guys are saying he didn't have BO on.

    I agree Doc. I have used my guy for 7 years now. Tag stays on the deer the whole way. I dropped off my 4 Sunday at 10:00 my numbers were 74-77 and while there about 10 more came in. My neighbor picked the meat up yesterday. BTW he charges 50 bucks for a regular cut no bone. If I lived up there I would do the deer myself, for 50 bucks it's not worth my time.

    We'll make more............better luck next year or maybe this year, still have a lot of time left.

    Totally agree, second report said it was around 4:30. You need to be seen especially if your on the move at the first and last hunting hours of the day.

    4/5 hunters took deer. 1 buck 2 doe and a button. I shot a nice 8pt that I couldn't track and my neighbor got it. We had a good day......

    When I'm looking for deer it is slight movement or the color white I pick up first. Flick of a tail or white on neck and legs. Then identify it is a deer. I was field dressing my deer in 50 degree weather Saturday. I stripped off layers and got down to my long johns which are white. I took off that shirt quickly but that may have been enough for someone to shoot. Just a thought and I will do things differently in the future.

    Had 7 does under my stand at 7:15. Two other were button bucks sparring with each other, that was really cool.

    I don't think it's about shots. It's all about smell and a visual sighting of a human by the deer. I was on stand Friday afternoon and had a big buck and doe 30 yards from me. My neighbor was sighting in his gun very close to us. The deer didn't flinch one bit at the sound.

    I hunt private and all the land around me is private. Still you have to watch where everyone is and what they are doing. You also can have lowlife trespassers that can give a rats ass about your life.

    This can happen to anyone of us. Bubba makes some good points. Until the investigation is over we are all speculating. Prayers to them all.

    Just feel awful about this............ I was wondering about looking for a deer I hit Saturday morning, the thought of someone mistaking me for a deer went through my head. Know what your target is before pulling the trigger.......Prayers to the families.
  22. First-light
    But when you call it in you say it was a male.
  23. First-light
    I had to use that truck to bring the deer to the processor. My buddy Joe came with me, we got some looks.....lol

    I pretty much hunt the same deer stand bow and gun. Some weeks 0 deer spotted but others I get into the teens on 1 day. Opening day was a good one for me and I saw 16 deer from that stand all before 10:00. Sunday 3 deer all day, Monday until 11- 1 deer. Just how it goes.....

    Between Friday night and Sunday morning I called in 4 different bucks. They all responded to estrous bleets and buck growls. The big buck I missed on Friday night with the bow came in again to me Saturday night 15 minutes after legal hours. He was all pumped up and was ready to cross a logging road 20 feet in front of me when I decided to get up. Boy did we both startle each other. Scrapes were being worked over by bucks and does.
