Tag is on the left antler in the back, it's the real deal from a very reliable source.

FYI, Buck shot on state land!

It's the buck I posted shots of. Check out BBD Watkins Glen area.

Real nice deer, don't know much about it. Congratulations to the hunter!

It all starts this weekend at the camp. I will be heading up Thursday night with my brother and we will be hunting straight through Sunday evening. My Brother-in-law and his friend may be joining us. There was a new lease across the road from us and I heard that they took a 6pt and a doe opening weekend! Weather should be good but we have a full moon. With a little luck you never know. I may try posting from the cabin with my IPAD if not it will have to wait till Monday. GLTA

Bubba, I'm with you, right around the 4th is my target. I'll be in stand this year 5th-9th.

Excellent advice about going back and doing circles. Never forget this when all else fails, Way to go!

Shot a deer at 7 in the morning and found him later in the afternoon, crows were even pecking at him. Was a big 3 yr old buck close to 190lbs. He tasted great! Don't worry about it.

I started a thread on years hunting and deer wounded and not recovered by gun and bow. I found it interesting that the numbers were very low, good for us and the deer.

Way to go!

Hit a big body deer in the liver at 20 yards. He didn't run but just walked away. I found the arrow covered in deep dark red blood. I walked past this deer 3 times (spotty blood trail) before it bolted across a field. I went back to camp and gave it 4 hours. Came back out with some help and looked for another 2.5 hours. The only reason we found this deer was the noise the crows were making pecking at its wound. We went over to see what they were doing and we found the deer. True story, so in despair look to the skies for crows!

I have a 6 hr trip from ENothport to Howard. Love the drive but Sunday's could get bad with all the leaf watchers. People say why did I pick a place so far from home. I tell them it is my home, I'm just visiting the island! Honestly there is no other place I would hunt in N.Y. then the Finger Lakes. Each region of the state has its qualities but in the Finger Lakes you get more "bang for you Buck!"

Strange. I haven't been too "into it" this year.

I feel the same way been battling some injuries. When I get into that car next Thursday night it will hit like a ton of bricks. -
Better be ready bow in hand. They can sneak right up on you and usually never stop. Make sure your buckled in!
-
Gets you pumped!
-
I wonder if this deer could get any closer?

JohnB, Adar was right over where I grew up. We moved from Commack to ENport when I was about 3. We lived on Karin ct off of Holly drive. Small world, nice to hear from you guys!

Burt here from East Northport. Hunted out East in Manorville years ago, haven't been back. I have a camp in Steuben county, what a great place to hunt deer!
