The ones I don’t hear , I see first .

And it’s over . All three of us saw deer early on , Thats come to a stop . If I get out of here early enough I may do last 2 hours at my spot .

Spike , Joe’s seen a six and has does running all over .

Good luck !

Trust me I’ll win it . I’m undefeated since the mid ‘80s . Xbow tomorrow on Joes land !

Thanks the issue with my spot is , miles of AG fields all with little woodlots ,creek bottoms, thickets , all with other hunters . Bucks I get on camera , so,does, Tyler, Ken, Kevin , Al and who knows how many others within a mile or more . Good luck to all going out tonight ,I’m on the couch .

I really would like to Kill Carrot Top soon , I call him that because the top of his head is all messed up !

Leaf blowing those trails is one of the best things I’ve ever started doing . At first it was two,fold ,guests wouldn’t have to be walked to the stands, and I figured a quiet walk in , would be a bonus . Well, tracks will appear in them tonight , and some will walk right down them , I guess deer like to be quiet too ! But best of all is not just getting to the stands silently in the dark, but when on them in daylight you can get pretty damn, close to the deer . There’s often deer in the green field when I leave , I used to know because I’d see tails bounding away, now I can walk right out to the field edge and they have no clue .

Farmer says he’s watching 3 bucks run all over the place .... ugh well few hundred yards of trails leaf blowed to three stands , I’m outta here

Well the deer parade consisted of one doe . I’ve figured it out, the deer that aren’t quarantined, have gone to Wisconsin to turn in their ballots !

Our garage has stayed remarkably cooler then outside temps lately . I’d put it in there , our basement freezer is set at minus 5, there’s 4 frozen 1 gallon containers of water and several 2 quart ones in it . Id stuff a few in the buck , it would be fine for the few hours until my processor opens . 40 some odd years or so of killing deer , this ain’t the first hot weather I’ve killed them in . No worries at all .

Sweet mother of pearl I saw a doe , circle the date on the calendar ! Tomorrow im hunting a buddy’s place , he’s seen deer most sits and two days ago he jumped two bucks they were bedded together . A big 8 and a monster 12 , the 12 ran through the corn like Godzilla trough Tokyo , stuff flying everywhere.

Welcome . You’re in a good part of the state to hunt and having mentors to go with great ! Best of luck .

Well the weather APP says it’s 60 in Canandaigua, Jimmy Crickets I’ve got to tote the backpack leaf blower in this morning as well . At least I can wax the truck again this afternoon , that’s not a euphemism either .

Welcome and congrats on what you’re doing ! Im close to 400 miles away from you , unfortunately. I hope you can find a mentor , but keep doing what you’re doing , we maintain a large panty , so bumps in the supply chain are a non issue . Keep,learning the new skills and stock up .

Heck the Safe Act made me a felon many times over along with most “ assault rifle “ owners in NY as so few complied, I, expect the same nationwide now . The AR is the most popular rifle in the U.S. this should be fun .Biden trying to regulate them under NFA is totally unworkable , which may be the plan all along , they’re already backlogged six months with just suppressors , SBR and a small number of full autos , ,adding millions upon millions of newly regulated firearms would add many years to, the process. By then The Supreme Court will have ruled in our favor .

Keeping my string alive ! Zippo deer seen tonight , first time in this stand . I got so despite I hung my two cameras just to see if there’s any deer here . I took them down for the hunting season ,as I prefer to hunt with only my wits and what’s been described as a mediocre, blind squirrel hunting ability ,not electronic 24/7 monitoring . But iz gots to know !

11: minutes flat for me . 1,2, 3 GO

Fully rested, new attitude heading down soon. Stand I moved awhile ago, front of the woods ,where it’s shaded and cooler . Although most a bucks I’ve killed in the rut , chasing does, doesn’t seem to care where they run to, sunny, shady open , thick ,or all of the above if the doe runs there so will he . He may start the search in cool areas , where they end up is open . I’m hoping to check them scent checking the two nearby bedding areas . I wonder of the deer think, it’s hot, the hunters all have heavy clothes , so stay out of cool areas , that’s where they’ll be .....

This freaking sucks 6 1/2, hours on two stands so far today and zero deer . I’ve already called off tomorrow mornings hunt . I hear some guys enjoy golf ....

Agree with above. Now this morning I was in the open hardwoods in my best stand , problem was no leaves and the sun was lighting me up ! Bow , binos , you could see the shine on them . So this afternoon at 2 I’ll be in the thicket , less sun , lower cooler , damp area . Truck thermometer says 70 !!!

PM me where , wife’s from one of the biggest farm families there . If neighboring landowner lives out of state , his land is probably loaded with hunters ....

I’ve not had a year with so few sightings in a longtime . Normally I see 6 or so deer 3 out of 4 sits many in range , I would say this year most sits zippo . OD was great , 6 bucks 3 nice ones , I’ve seen two bucks from my stand since ! I was going to sit till 11 go eat lunch , nap in truck be back on stand by 1, not sure I can last till 9 now .

Saw this guy in the lane way , turned on my light for the pic. I was maybe 40 yards from him, I finally told him to beat it .

Parked drinking coffee head in soon . I watched 15 plus turkeys roost last night should be a fun walk ! Mrs Nomad bought me the same card and scratch off , 32 years of marriage , still in sync.
