Oh yeah they have all the schools closing and whatnot. My phones and fax line is down, 90% of the state is closed, and I'm the only one here and yet my boss still feels the need to keep me here. Granted, I work 1/4 mile from my house, but holy crap - I'm going to die of redundant boredom. lol. I'm prepared for the worst, but I doubt it's going to be all that bad.

I live in upstate NY up by Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence. I think at least in our area, they are blowing this storm way out of proportion...they are letting schools out early and everything over some wind. We've got high winds before and people don't get let out early. But because this is attached to a hurricane it's a huge deal. lol. Good luck to all - especially those of you in southern NY and near the city. I have a wood stove, gas stove top, car charger for my phone, and a bathtub and buckets full of water to flush the toilet if the power goes out. I'm set. lol.

We created a few new spots this past week. I am minding the rain as I am 7 months pregnant and can't afford to get sick right now. So unfortunatley didn't go out at all yesterday. Hubby and I are getting things together in case the power goes out with this storm (that I feel everyone is blowing way out of proportion, but can't hurt to be prepared).

No. He's not a big computer person unless it's on craigslist Oh and Phade - hubby and I take turns as I have 3 different stands on the porperty. I was not trying to dismiss your suggestion, just stating that I'm not comfortable hunting on public land because I have no sense of direction, and don't want to either A, get lost, or B get shot by ignorant hunters.
-
I bet Sunday/Monday will be damn good days to hunt!
-
Yeah I don't bow hunt. I don't have the patience. I know the patterns as I've been hunting there for years. Sometimes I just think they move at night after dark instead of at dusk. Not much I can do there.
-
Thanks all. Going to take a break for a few days from hunting. Unfortunatley, baby is telling me to relax for a day or two. Hubby will probably hunt tonight and tomorrow.
-
Okay as far as overhunting, my dad hunted that spot for 17 years and brought a deer out every year. I don't have anywhere else to hunt and I refuse to hunt state land that I'm not familiar with. The spot I'm in is a really good spot, and the other stand is overlooking a clearing and I can't put the blind there unless I sit directly in the middle of it. Which I can't do. I have to make due with what I have to work with. I'm in northern Jefferson County.

hahahahahahahahah that's great. I have never skinned a squirrel. my dad always did it and he'd put them in a stir fry. lol.
-
Wouldn't shooting a .22 scare the deer off though?
-
Lol it's rifle season where I am right now as of last weekend I'm sporting my .30-30 Winchester Model 94. I don't have the patience for bow hunting lol.
-
Oops. Sorry!
-
lol. i get so frustrated with them!
-
The only thing I've seen is squirrels...that get my adrenaline pumping like mad because they sound like a deer coming slowly thru the leaves...and then surprise...a big fat house-cat-sized grey squirrel...assholes. lol

Striped: That's a good idea with the scents. No one in my family really uses calls and everyone I've talked to said they're kind of pointless until the rut gets here other than a fawn bleat. I have a few apps on my phone (lol). Rev: I agree with that, but the last 4 nights of not seeing anything have got me so discouraged. Not to mention my housework is suffering (LMAO). I just figure they won't move as much in the warm weather as they do in the cooler but that's proving to be a misconception.
