Hunt # 14, 11/3/22, 4pm to 6:30. The corn fields were finally cut today and there were deer all over, just not within my arrows reach. All does or antlerless, only one got within 30 yards but that is not within my usual range. I was in Creekside Stand and had deer in both the alfalfa and corn fields and they were not moving. I finally texted my son-in-law to get the UTV and come get me. They cleared out while he drove up.
Three days off due to my nephews wedding, back at it on Monday and it’s a Full Moon! Yea.

If it's the grey sludge stuff the neighboring farmer to my parents said it's literally human $hit from treatment facilities downstate. I have to say it smells nor looks anything like cow manure.
No it's the regular brown cow shit. I lease the land to one of NY's largest dairy farmers. He (they, large family business) has manure lagoons all over and is planning one for a mile or so down the road from me. Not looking forward to that and a lot of people are trying to put a stop to it.

This is the third year they have been doing this , the farm that boarders me to the South , doesn’t so that’s one route to and from the thicket and woods that may pay off .
Used to be a field here and there now they do them all it seems .
New environmental laws and larger dairy farms are making the liquid manure use standard practice. Up close it smells pretty bad, but they inject it into the soil so it is not too bad at some distance. But it does seem to turn off the game for quite a while.......I don't even see crows picking away at the field.

Corn is amazing at bringing in wildlife. Security cover and food. I have a cam on an apple tree in a hedgerow facing a corn field last year. Non-stop action. Bears, bobcats, turkeys, endless deer with a couple of mature studs. No corn this year. Thought the apple tree would bring them in but it has for the most part been dormant.
Did they plant something else? One big field is corn, and the other is alfalfa. Both bring deer in practically every night. Even many weeks after the corn is picked and it seems like nothing is left in the field, deer are out there.

I love the smell of manure in the morning !
It’s that time of year they’re injecting the fields that surround my woods ,this is an equipment and labor intensive operation . The fields within a mile or so from the lagoon they lay hoses that connect to the equipment,with relay pumps the size of cars staged in route .
Farther away they use these tankers ( stock photos ) .
I got to feel it blocks movement across the fields , which one could take as good or bad, as it may lock the deer in the woods to staying in the woods . Idk
Ive got one stand farthest away from the operation I plan on sitting in for the first time tonight .
The corn fields where I hunt a finally being picked today. I imagine they will follow up with injected manure. Every time time they do that, I never see anything in the fields for weeks.

11/1/22, 3-630pm Fred’s Backyard. Had three doe about 100 yards away for the last hour or so. There is no climbing down easy with this stand, it’s been there a few years. Creaks a lot when standing or being on the ladder. It’s in a great spot, just needs to be replaced after this year.

Shot a buck at 7:30 this morning, he came in, worked a scrape then headed past me at 20. I knew the shot was a touch back. Arrow looked and smelled like liver so i gave him seven hours. He went 63 yards, turns out I heard him die. He made some light grunts which Id never heard before as he died

Hunt #12, 10/28, Back Corner Original - 3pm to 6:30pm. Warm and sunny afternoon so I went and changed cards on a couple of cameras on my way to the Back Corner Original tree stand. Had a semi rare East South East wind, predicted for 5-6 mph, but I could barely feel anything. Somehow lost an arrow out of my quiver so I will be on the lookout for that. No deer seen at all during the sit. Left at 6:30 and had a doe stand still in my headlamp for a couple of minutes. Even had a short conversation with her about being careful out in the woods after dark. She finally left after a couple of minutes.
Planned to hunt both days of the weekend, but a late invite to SU v. Notre Dame (definitely should have hunted) and a much too nice Sunday morning changed that plan. I did get a chance to add new ratchet straps to two tree stands and clear a shooting lane on another. Also set out 2 new cameras in new locations. For the next 14 days I am trying to avoid all appointments and other projects. I have a covid booster scheduled for tomorrow, hopefully Wednesday will not be a sick day as it was for the other two boosters.

Thank you everyone for your advice. I went over to Runnings and bought a Big Game Hunter 1.5 HD. I do not recommend. Like most of the reviews said, it is a SOB to put together.
I put three together last month. Had to undo and reverse something on it for all three stands! You would think I would have learned by the third stand.......
But you will like it, it's very comfy and has a huge deck to stand on! Decent price too.

I'm watching this thread because I have eaten at the Roscoe Diner and it was perfect for what we needed - quick decent food right off the highway. But It's nice to know some of the other places to try on the next trip through. Farmhouse Pasta sounds great!

Hunt #11, 10/27, Jasons Double, a very cold feeling 50 degrees at 4pm start. Wind died down and it was more comfortable. Saw a total of 8 deer, all does. Two almost at the start about 75 yards off, watched them go into the corn field, which is still standing. Had one moving behind me and a moment later another one, probably those same two. They stayed in the corn the whole time. Had a small doe behind me for a good 20 minutes, she had no idea what was happening. I had a few shot opportunities but she was very small.
Watched a lone doe in front of me head to the alfalfa field where she was joined by two other deer. Got down at 6:40 when it was dark enough. Thought I heard grunting and was going to grunt back but decided not too.
If wind stays the same I am going to try the climber tomorrow afternoon and set up nearer to the alfalfa.

Thank you Sir! I did find one box from another member here so we have a bit for the season. He was sighting in this gun for his son to use this season. We were all over the paper and could not find a pattern. Turns out the screws on the front of the rail were loose. Five minutes at the gun shop took care of that, plus a free bore sight to get us on paper again. He is going to try again this weekend.
Thanks again for looking!
