mine is 80%

nice job grow!

i carry the primos long can, i have had great success with getting deer in and pulling them in from a decent distance away assuming the wind is not crazy. its a great call to have in the bag and i find myself using that one the most...

some nice deer for you this year, good luck

I love getting on my hands and knees looking for blood and checking like a blood hound... Dont always get to really do it but when i do i really get into it. ive tracked blood for 2-300 yards on my hands and knees to find spec after spec of blood to find that deer. i actually love doing it, i just dont usually get to do it for myself. i have shot a good amount of deer and only had one 1 deer run more then 100 yards on me. (not bragging! at all! its a true statement) Slight quarter too shot deer ran a loop, crossed the logging road 100 yards up and out of sight. didnt find much blood but luckily knew where it crossed and picked the trail up quick. that was my only track job for myself but i always help out my other guys in the group when the time calls. I love when a deer drops in sight and even those i always follow the blood trail even tho i know where the deer is. Helps me learn what to expect from a certain angle/shot placement /entry and exit height so i always follow every trail regardless to learn as much as i can. hunted with my dads friend before and he wounds alot, follows a trail and when it gets spotty stops and says that deer will live. He yelled at me once and said what are you doing?! give it up that deer will live. i told him he gives up to easy and we should keep going. we left i came back later that night by myself, searched and came up short. it was dark... i told him that deer was dead in there and he should get back in there. He said no and about 5 days later they found the buck. he cut the head off and kept it. I told him what i thought and where to go and i do not hunt with him anymore.

from what i see by me, smaller bucks are starting to feel there oats chasing up some does. Have a few scrapes flare up, not really been getting freshened up yet. i think in the next week things will start heating up in the woods and getting more shooters show up in day light hours.

nice pics! good stuff

who ever went out this morning had a nice cold morning! hope the deer were moving...

It's just a matter of time before the big boys start showing up. I have a spot that is mostly all does with a mix of scrub bucks. The big boys don't start showing up until around October 20th plus or minus a few days. It's been like that for 3 years now at this spot. Had my first decent 8 with nice mass show up a few days ago. Was at night but I'd say with in the next week this spot is going to pick up. I have not hunted it yet this year, just letting it sit but I do slip in and out to pull my card. Been doing it for about a month and half and the first nice buck just showed up. Can wait to see what else comes through. I et a ton of Doe on cam so I know the big boys know where to find them and they are already checking up on the does.

oh he looks like a very old mature deer... look at his saggin belly. big body deer, very nice

good luck grow! good job on the butchering

big body deer... lol wu tang...

nice buck, great mass too... congrats to him

mine 2 months pretty much to the day

you never know what you will see in any condition but you have to be in it to win it. sounds like you had a fun hunt.

happy bday

ill be out Sat & Sun again.

No not at all... Just turkey hunting in spring. Can't bring myself to leave the island just yet. I'll be up in November for opening but not my property. I'll be in chemung...

wow thats along time... did not know it took that long but figured it was different then Suffolk. good luck with the process

why was your appointment so long in the distant future? usually when you get the call the interview is made for a few weeks out. why did they put you off for months? maybe Nassau is different?

that is a great buck, good luck with him

LMAO typo... meant mock. a mick scrape would def involve some sort of booze lol

very nice pics! yeah i just saw my first scrape a few days ago. made a mock one as well, i ll have to see if it got any action

Good update john! I saw a spike running up a doe on sat evening.

yeah it was real windy yesterday John... how did you make out for the evening hunt?
