Awesome buck Jay. Congrats and enjoy the celebratory beers!!! Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Just caught up from the last 2.5 days I was out of cell service at camp. Congrats on all the harvests. The wind was blowing every direction opening morning and I am on the ground. At 9:10 a shot rings out but way up on top of the ridge on another property. Wind is blowing from my back towards the ridge one second and then back in my face. Looking in the direction the shot came and then I hear a twig break and leaves rustle. Look to my right and catch a racked buck doing a 180 away from me at 60yds. Never saw or heard it until he caught my scent. The deer run the base of this hill all the time and the wind didn't help so I made a move so I could still watch that base and my scent wasn't blowing that direction. An hour and 25 minutes later, she snuck in on me and didn't see or hear her until she was 20 yards away coming straight at me. She stopped as she knew something wasn't right and turned to head away. Got a good rest against the tree and she popped out from behind a hemlock and it was over. According to Hunstand app she ran 52yds from point of impact with her heart broken into pieces. That's NOT my buck picture below. Not sure how it was added to my post. Sorry to the rightful owner. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Well the live decoy met up with her 4 younger ones that came in behind me and eventually below me too far out and fed to the North. It was dark and I was getting down and 3 deer ran past me at light speed and the woods erupted. Too bad it was 5:15ish and well past sunset. 8 deer total for my last bow hunt and I saw deer every time I went out this season which was a bonus but only one shooter who busted me. 5 years since I got one with he bow so I am do or too darn picky. Maybe some new gear for next year is finally in order to replace my 20yr old bow. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Live decoy bedded 25yds from my other stand. Greeter. Now I've got small doe behind me. Liking this. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Back at it for my last sit for this bow season. Tomorrow is going to be a windy wash which i normally take advantage of being out here as movement is usually ridiculous but a few of us are heading to camp to fix a few small issues inside the cabin before Friday nights festivities. Have some Code Red Estrous out for good measure so now we wait. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Yes according to the DEC tags will be here by the 18th. If not, take the letter and the other yellow piece with all your tag numbers with you just in case. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Sweet thanks for the update. Just came home after an all day sit and got the same letter and no carcass tag as well. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Ended the day having 5 small doe come down and trap me in my stand until 5:15 after they moved off. Saw 11 doe, a 4pt, a red fox and 2 rabbits today. Nothing mature moving in my area unfortunately, all young ones. Tomorrow is another day, just windier according to the forecast. Congrats to all who scored today.

Moved back to the stand I was in this morning. First time sitting that other stand and 45 minutes in 2 small doe appeared 35 yards away. Lost sight of them until I got down. They were bedded 40 yards from me. Will be a great ML stand. C'mon deer help all of us out this afternoon will ya. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Damn that looks good. I had this crap Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Same here til dark. Took today off for this so no better place to be. Good luck and attend class later. Enjoy the hunt Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Anybody still out here with me or are all the smart ones at home? Moved to a late season stand for midday. Lots of sign but it's going to be quick if something comes in here. Had to stretch the legs and get a change of scenery. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

No deer seen since 7:40 and a red fox at 10. Cams show doe in here from 11 to 1. If nothing by noon I'm hopping to another stand about 300 yds SW of here for a few hours then back here. Wind is screwy but so am I at this point Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

34 degrees and a little wind but now it's raining? Well this sucks! Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Small doe walked through at 7:25 and a little 4pt just followed her trail. They are quiet in these wet leaves. Good start!! Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Late for the party but I'm in this morning. Bumped at least 2 on the way in. Good luck all. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
