11 deer so far for me including 22 ylg bucks.

Whoops. Smartphone stupid
-
Fletch- fingerlakes (I'm on the member map) I hunt in a 40 minute driving distance driving radius of Union Springs. In 2009 I was 60 yds from a 145" 8 pt but he wouldn't leave his hot doe. Tag soup that year, but it tastes ok with doe meat.

He was 3.5 (aged by cementum annuli) It appeared he had been shot only a few weeks before I got him.

I've seen bucks with hot does in fields midday on the 1st and 7th. Quite a bit of chasing going on. I think in the next 3-5 days it will blow wide open. A little on the warm side today.

In the movies
-
I've killed 2 after rattling over decoys but they didn't come charging down an open field like on the movies. Rather, they came sneaking along the field edge just inside cover.
-
Anybody ever have luck rattling in NY?
-
Not quite that close. I caught a glimpse of him chasing a doe. Couldn't tell much. Loud, drawn out grunts. Sounded frustrated
-
Leaves are very dry. Every dang squirrel sounds like a deer at first
-
Just heard big time grunts in the woods below me
-
Saw 2 - 3yr old bucks and a hot doe 100 yds off the road in a picked cornfield @1:40 today. Things are definitely getting started. Have the 2 blowup dekes out front. A little warm though.

Biggest Buck I have on cam this year
sampotter replied to sampotter's topic in Trail Camera Pictures
Cabin Fever- you must be near Seneca Falls or farther south? I'm sticking with 145ish. His width (20"+) makes it easy to underestimate his beam length. Only one way to find out for sure. I don't mind letting him go another year to see if he'll get bigger- that's if I am unable to kill him or run into a different 4 yr old... -
Here is the biggest buck I have on a camera this year. I believe he is a 4yr old and would score about 145, although he is pretty wide and his beams are long, so I may be a little off. What do you think?
-
Just saw the 6thway buck of the day. All 1+2 yr olds.
-
Lots of does and 3a different small bucks so far
-
Couldn't be in a better spot. Downwind side of a bedding area on an inside corner with converging fingers of woods going out into fields. Oh yeah, couple of big rubs right below me. Never been in here before. Picked it off google maps.
-
Yeah- good thing he had antlers...
-
I saw a doe standing by the road this am with nothing but tall tines behind her...
-
Nice one and nice pics
-
You have to go to your profile and mess with the reply settings. It took me awhile to figure it out, but I know exactly what you are talking about.
-
He'll be back. Just keep doing everything right and allow luck to come your way. Thats all it is in the end anyhow, but you can increase your odds by getting in and out undetected. There are still over 2 weeks left. Hang in there.

I go high if the tree is growing on a sidehill below where I expect deer. It really doesn't matter if its 12ft or 40, falling can hurt or kill you. I know a farmer that fell 8' out of a hayloft on the back of his neck and is a quadriplegic. I like going high because I like the views.
