No idea lol Last two seasons have not seen a deer opening day. Our opening weekend hunting has notoriously been poor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Flipping cold!! 22 degrees a light light snow on the ground. Loud as all heck walking. Still had to stop halfway in as I heard a deer walking . A lone deer, had to be a cruising buck, walked by 30 feet from me. So dark I could just see the outline. After he passed I started slowly and he started coming back my way lol. Finally got to my stand at 6:15. Ain’t nothing sneaking up on you today lol! Hope some legal movement goes on cause it’s cold!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
11/17 am 32 Got out in the new ladder stand out back for 2 hours. The snow was supposed to start and possibly accumilate a couple inches. It snowed a bit. Nothing stuck. My deer sightings the past few days has been terrible. It was real active 10/31 to 11/8. Now it has cooled off here. Nothing sighted this morn.

11/15 am Hunted the tower blind for 2 hours saw one small deer that I think was the button. 11/15 pm Just snuck out the last 1 hour on the field edge. Zero.

I am not even sure where I am hunting yet so not sure what gun. I know the boy will have my TC Triumph Muzzleloader in his little paws. Kid loves that gun if he is hunting its all he uses in gun seasons. No rifle no shotgun. If I had to guess either my Ithaca Deerslayer 20 Gauge or my Marlin 30-30 lever.

Ima sit a bit longer and with chance of 70 mph gusts later I may actually take the afternoon off. Have some beers and watch football. I may sleep in tomorrow as well and hope that 70 % chance of snow Tuesday is truth! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

36 and little rain showers here and there. Up in tower with the heat on ahhhh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I have never done it. Never had an issue. Always just seemed like your fouling the barrel for no reason. I got no moisture in a fresh gun. Once loaded I electric tape the barrel and may go a week before I may pull the load and reload. I’m beginning to think that’s a waste too as I save the pulled pellets for practice and every one over the years has fired fine lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really wish my gloves and fleece hat weren’t back home warming by the fire. And that my backup gloves in my pack weren’t wet cause I was too lazy to pull out and check after the rain...... Oh can I get in on the deer prayer above. No buck just a doe..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Up and in. 39 light breeze. I’m on doe patrol on a property that I’m wondering if all the survey action has stopped any day movement or blown them all out entirely. My nephew is sitting my hottest stand at my home prop. Chart says deer should be moving all day!! GL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
11/13 am 32 Up in the new ladder stand. Had a good sized doe out of range go up ridge out front. Had a basket rack go behind me and down walked right by the tower. Wish he’d done that yesterday when I had my daughter there. Then had a tiny spike chase a nice doe and fawn behind me outa range. Sat for 4 hours. Pm 49 Same stand for last 3 hours.

Sounds like a good time!! I used to hunt up near Paul Smiths since I was 12 years old every opening weekend until I was into my college age at Potsdam. I shot one buck in all those times lol. A spike. I was not a great hunter back then, not that I am now, but yea the herd was real thin for sure. It would be a great weekend to see 1 deer! I keep telling myself I need to get off my tree stand sitting azz and get back up there. If just for the memories.
