Anyone else listen to podcasts while they sit? I rarely hear a deer before I see it and listening to something besides the wind keeps me in the stand longer. There is a podcast called "deer university" by some biologists that might be of interest to this group

The farmer next door chopped his entire field of corn after dark last night. He is also a hunter. Wonder what he was thinking?

Anyone else in 9k think this season has been different? I have done about 10 sits and seen 4 deer

I've used "yak traks" in the past. They are more like chains then cleat. Eventually they will wear out, but they are pretty low profile.

I'm wondering hunting in that would reduce repeat trespassers. I'd be a little freaked out if I was confronted by a pink bunny, especially if the bunny guy added some creepyness/mental illness to it.

A guy down the road sells it raw ($12/quart). My wife raves about how she can "taste the hive" but it seems like normal honey to me. Is anything added to commercial honey? Its naturally bacteria resistant so I wouldn't see why there would be a need?

I'm switching from buckets and stainless taps to tubing. I have 30ish buckets and taps if anyone wants to make an offer. I bought tubing and taps for 250, though I won't put them all in. I plan to set up a second cast iron bath tub so that I can have two fires at once. The amish sell food grade totes and barrels for $5 and $20 respectively so I might set up some storage and gravity feed stuff. My goal is to make more than I can use, and not to spend much money

I mixed things up a bit and tried some public land this afternoon. Dobbins State Forest in 9M was a mess. The logging operation left tops everywhere and briers chest high. I"m sure the deer will love it in a few years, but the tracks were few and far between today. I guess I'll go back to the family farm and watch some bushes tomorrow.

I've got orange bibs, hat, neck gaitor, and gloves. Is there really a reason not be be orange? I guess if a person enjoys getting shot, it might be a way to make things happen...
In PA you can ride a motorcycle without a helmet, but you have to wear orange to hunt. In NY you have to wear the helmet but orange is optional. I just don't get this country sometimes.

9k is looking better. After several days of sideways snow and the deer not moving the light winds are a welcomed change. My dad came up from PA and has only seen one deer since the season opened. Maybe today is his day...

Those early shots might have been at coyotes. Does anyone else have driving snow? It started 30 min ago and the ground is white already. 9k

Pulled a card and it looks like i have a buck working the scrape every 12 hours so would decided to sit thos stand by the property line. As i walk in i see someone signaling with a flashlight from right on the line. Bummer, but its not my land. Ive never seen anyone back here before.

Anyone have suggestions for calling/grunting? Every 10 min I've been yelling "apples, get your apples! Yellow ones, red ones, trees full of apples." Should i be mentioning they are free?
Seriously, im new to calling. Two short bleats from the can every 15min? Does that sound about right?

Papist, thats a tough wait. Hope you get to tag him and not someone who says "look what i found".

Im watching a bunch of scrapes on the edge of the property. What do i have to do to have a buck like papists come by? Im terrible at waiting. Partly sunny in 9k.

Was staring off into the golden rod daydreaming when i realized there was a doe standing there looking back at me. Why do they always stare? Couldnt they sniff a bush or something? Its hard to draw with them looking.

But do ask, even if it is posted.
As I put up Posted signs today I thought "it would be totally ok if someone bow hunted here". The problem is that enough people have assumed it was ok and the family got tired of stumbling across a hunter when out for a walk.
Once you trespass, its to late to ask for permission. Its just forgiveness at that point.

I directed a summer camp for a bunch of years and the kids would call me Mr. Zach. My real name is Zachary, not very exciting

Have 9M
Would like 9K

I have a DMP for 8H (as I think a lot of people do) but I have no ideas where to actually hunt. Anyone have suggestions short of knocking on doors? I looked at the mapping tool, and what public land there is seems kind of small and developed.
feel free to comment or PM me with ideas,
thanks,

I love that you are doing a simple, small plot, as you get time. Its encouraging for those of us without a lot of time and resources.

Have you tried Benadryl?

The owner of my local archery shop (also a hunter safety instructor) says that feeding is legal and that baiting is not. He is basing this on what a ECO told him. His boys have several mineral blocks out in the woods and they are not for pictures (Its an Amish family).
I don't buy it all, but I can't find anything in the rule book to prove him wrong. Can anyone provide a page number or a link which shows that feeding is not ok?

I shot two doe a few years ago on a farm in 3m. When the farm hand heard about my success he said " oh good, I've been dumping some old corn over there so the deer would come." I can just imagine what the conversation with the dec would be if they stopped by....
