    I get trhis. Now trhat I', up here full time my time in the woods has gone way up. With that sightings of Trophy deer go up also. We took two mature Doe at Bow and 1 second day of gun. In the last two years I passed so many buck deer that I might not of if "time" was not in the equation.

    Just got the text from the local guys that they will start hunting tomorrow with dogs for Coyotes. Hope they do well this year. All the neighbors signed on to let them hunt our properties. I'll let you know how they do!

    I can see this happening for sure. No more trips to PA or Maryland and bring back ammo. This is NY we are talking about it will happen. Sad stuff right there.

    So when I was at the processor we were talking about the second rut. He said the yearling Does 7 months old will be bred in December/January. This true? Just read this very interesting about weight. https://deerassociation.com/doe-fawns-breed-good-sign/

    I remember reading it was for more opportunity for kids, college students and such having that week off to hunt. I could see my girl doing this one year after Christmas coming to my house to hunt. It always crosses my my mind if I shoot a big doe then you are reducing the herd by probably 3 deer. Totally debatable for sure.

    I fished mostly saltwater. Striped Bass is hands down the best.

    All these years of hunting I've only had Venison, grouse and Pheasant. Loved all of it.

    Beautiful afternoon so quiet but crunchy in the woods. Didn't see a thing until about 4:45. Two yearling eating grass under the power lines on my leased property. Stalked up to about 50 yards and bid them a good winter. lol

    Didn't get out. Maybe one last sit tonight by the corn. Been a long season for sure!

    Went out with my neighbor. We both shot at the same doe and missed. Did some pushes but nothing. Sat in the lease field stand tonight it was beautiful but no deer. Need a food plot up there. While doing my pushes I found two dead heads. Also a view from the stand.

    Best thing I ever did was to keep a field of goldenrod mowed. It's in the middle of the woods and the deer, bear and Turkey just love it.

    Saw nothing until my walk out. Big Doe stared me down at 30 yards gun was on my shoulder in the sling. Guess who won. Always tomorrow but tomorrows are running out! lol

    Hunted until 11 saw nothing. Again saw some new rubs and opened scrapes. Tonight I'll sit in my favorite stand until dark.

    Headed out in an hour. Fresh coat of snow show make it interesting. Not sure how it will be in the woods with it hanging on the branches.

    See this is why I love where I hunt. My neighbor just called and said let's hunt together on my property tomorrow. He has about 250 acres not heavy hunted. Just the two of us walking around stirring things up. The guys behind me who own 400 acres are done. They told me have at it if you want. Good people who know how to treat each other. As you know we shoot quality deer from my place but its nice to know you have options!

    new ones from my last walk a few days ago.
  21. First-light
    Went out for my usual walk. Wind was perfect and had a Doe across a field I was able to sneak up on. Turned out to be a button so I didn't shoot. Sat at the corn for an hour saw nothing. Tomorrow morning I'll go to one of my favorite stands. Hope it produces but who the heck knows what they are doing this late in season. Oh I did find more rubs and scrapes. Crazy!

    This is just "hear say" but I was told there was a gun store right across the border into PA. Before the law went into place he sold millions of dollars of ammo to NYS residents. He actually had to stop because the locals were getting pissed all the ammo was going out of state.

    1st time I bought after the new rule I had to wait a day. It was approved in 3 hrs but was't driving back the same day. I was told like 7/10 ammo buys have to wait. I was also told you have to fill out that form for every purchase for ammo.
