I would have to rank this season overall between bow season and gun season one of the worst in the past 20 years. I saw 4 decent and I saying decent as in nothing over a 120/8 on camera since late summer. Between my son and I we saw this 120 once each 2 days apart Nov 6&8 and never again. Saw a nice mahogany colored 110/8 on Nov 15 and again late gun on Dec 6 and my son saw him again last Thursday on neighbors so didn’t shoot. Did take a doe last Sunday and son took doe yesterday. My most exciting day was TG morning where 2 smaller bucks were chasing different doe all around me for about 15 minutes On a scale of 1-10 about a 4. Still enjoyed the hunting and it’s never really a bad season especially when you’re 67 yrs old. Never know how many ya got left.

That’s what I was feelin too

I shoot a Thompson Center Triumph with Nikon 3x9 using 2 50g Triple 7s with a 295 Powerbelt. Do you like to sight at 100 or do you like to sight high at 50. If so is 2" high at 50 good for shots to 100?

Well I missed the before so I guess I won’t know this time

Is this afternoon (today) be a really good time to get out and sit just before the storm? OR would tomorrow morning just after storm subside be better?

Chenango county is reasonable

Time to hunt new land.

I’m sure it’s a good time but with COVID ramping up the way it is I wouldn’t go anywhere in an enclosed area with anybody outside my immediate family.

I’ve definitely had more morning buck kills.

I can second that one

Is it an 8 point or an 8 pointer? Hear it both ways but for me it's an 8 point.

#7 Morrisville NY is not accurate. It is not located 33 miles from canada border... doesn't have a bar called Fuzzy Duck.

Although Friday is the last day of bow season , tomorrow (Thursday) will be my last chance to score a good buck. As a whole, this has been a poor season in the woods as well as on camera. I do say that the future looks more promising as I’ve seen a number of young bucks around this year on the hoof including some potential NY trophies. How has everyone else’s season been?

Lethal Calls has a great selection of deer calls.

Put a tape across the one in front of it and take a pic! 18”

I bet it’s not more than 18”.

The bucks like the cross trails because they can scent check each intersection.

I was reading an article about rut strategies that just make so much sense. We all hear about setting a stand on good food to bedding trails but this article talked about cross trails. I read and heard others talk about bucks cruising parallel to field edges back off the edge 50 yds but the solidifies those discussions. Find that food to bed trail and look for the cross trail a few yards off the field edge and follow it and see how many bisecting food/bedding trails it intersects. You don't need to concern yourself with scrapes or rubs just that putting in the time on that bisecting trail during those rut days will pay off. I would suggest setting 2 stands so you have the option depending on the wind. Thoughts?

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ above. He could have been a good president but ego, lies, self adulation, his big mouth and oh did I say he's an Ahole. As a lifelong republican I have always voted for the candidate I felt was best IMO. I voted for Ross Perot both times because I too, felt a business man could do a great job as a president but unlike Ross Perot who had a plan and answers to questions with charts and openly shared his ideas, Trump has blindly moved forward with whatever came out of his mouth.

Its like I said in another post I started. He is an AHole with a big mouth and it caught up with him. He can't keep his mouth shut and like you stated above - he's an instigator, a braggart and it's all about him and his self-adulation and is never wrong and has to have the last word.

Only in the swing states huh. Sure.

You keep believing all that Merlot. Fact is as I stated. He’s got Big Mouth and he’s an Ahole and that’s why he lost.

If Trump had kept his mouth shut and wasn’t an ahole he would have won by a landslide. Ask your self this question - how long do you think you could be friends with Trump before you would say “that guys an ahole”. As a leader you lead by example.
