Uneventful weekend for me. Saturday I did see a dozen or so doe with fawns. Had a little basket rack 5 chasing a doe around and that was it. At 3:15 Saturday my dad text me this as it's standing 75 yds from his porch before following a doe down to the river bottom. I wasn't able to make it out today but maybe I'll have to run out to dad's after a short day at work one day this week.

Good luck just this past weekend some of the mature bucks in the area (7P) started seeking and chasing pretty hard so I bought a frozen bottle of the doe estrous. I had a 4 point and 6 literally 5 yds away from a wick and could've cared less. I'm going to stick with just using evercalm and hunting the edges of doe bedding areas. I will say that at least it didn't spook them.

The neighbor started cutting his corn Tuesday as I pulled in this afternoon he was making his last pass. I figured with the storm coming in and the fresh cut corn I'd see something. One squirrel was it. On the ride home I saw the backside neighbor and he said at last light a buck outside his ears and tall, at least an 8 crossed his field and was headed up into the woods I'm in. Hoping he hangs in there until Saturday but not seeing any doe I have my doubts.

There are no protocols at my place of employment. If your sick stay home if your not then come to work. Thankfully we're treated as adults capable of making our own decisions.

This working thing is really getting in the way of hunting.

I wish you luck. I had pretty much the same thing happen but the deer was more so quartering towards last weekend. My arrow buried to the fletching, the deer immediately bolted on impact but slowed to a trot and out of sight. I know there's a big difference from 1/4 to and away but that steep angle can make things happen. I found my arrow about 400 yds away from shot bit no bed between. Never found the deer and haven't really stopped looking since. I sincerely hope you have better luck than I did.

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.

Deer or no deer, what's not to love?

Thank you sir.

Anyone know of someone with a tracking dog in Broome county.

Sat for a few hours this evening until dark. Had a buck grunting back and forth with me and I could smell him but never got eyes on him. He definitely had a deep grunt to him, maybe next time. Did shine a mature 8 nosing around a doe last night.

Unfortunately for Bill these weren't turkey scratchings.

So after this mornings sit I decided to still hunt around the opposite side of the property since I haven't been over there since before the season opener. On my way out walking down the logging road I found a spot where I could get in and out easy and somewhat quiet with the climber so I put a mock scrape down. Well I pissed someone off. After a short lunch I grabbed a camera and the climber figured I'd sit on the mock scrape as kind of a scouting sit. As I get to the scrape I'm thinking this isn't where I made it W.T.F is happening. Besides that one there are 5 new scrapes now and the mock scrape I made is just shredded.

A d a pass on a 4 point at 15 yards.

Thank you.

So of course yesterday was the start of the youth weekend so it's about my youngest son and his last youth hunt. Last year he filled his first tag ever on a young doe so this year he had a couple rules. #1 no yearling deer, #2 no yearling deer. So yesterday morning we drive to my property about 1/2 hour away and it starts raining 5 minutes before we get there. I say out loud it's raining and I hear I'm not worried about a little rain. He might not care but I don't feel like getting rained on so I drive back towards home to another spot. We got set just as first light was poking through and 5 minutes later there's a doe and fawn 15 yards in front of us and of course directly down wind. They never bolt but we weren't moving an inch the both nervously walked off. A couple hours later we headed home for grandma's 97th bday so no afternoon hunt and he wasn't moving this am so I flew to a bow stand solo at about 9am I get a text asking if I'm taking him this afternoon. We drive to my property and get set around 3:30ish and here come two adult doe with fawns and they blew and blew so I said I had a spot to maybe sneak in with the wind how it was so we go. I no sooner creep through the hedrow and here's a good buck about 120 yds in the middle of this green field so I get the stick out he drops to a knee and takes aim. I just keep saying squeeze, squeeze when the gun goes off I'm looking at the deer through binoculars and he starts to bolt as I turn to tell him to shoot again I see a buck flop in the field to the left of the big one and then I hear "do you want me to shoot him too?" As I turn back again and he's now pointing towards the first buck I saw. No don't do it and thank God he didn't but no comes the what are you doing ? Shooting the deer. Why did you shoot that one? I didn't see the big one until I shot. Anyways I'm proud of my boy and he took a 165yd shot with the 30-06 and dropped his first buck.

Sorry, hard to type and drive.

You should have been taught basic reading comprehension in school.

If you can't comprehend what was written I'm unwilling to waste my time explaining it to you.

If it was an actual vaccine no there wouldn't be "breakthrough" infections. Seeing how the shots and booster is nothing more than a preventable treatment at best I suppose "breakthrough" infections are possible.

Be careful what you say as someone is very thin skinned and sensitive especially if you don't have the same views and opinions as them. They will most likely report you @Chef.

Nope just stating facts. Anyone that can't read through this thread can clearly see that from the source itself, you.

You might be funny if you weren't such a pompous, douchebag, libtard.
