Welcome and good luck this year!!!

Yea I get it now LOL!!! Again very nice deer and congrats!!!

Very nice deer!!!!! Why is it wasting a tag though?

Same here a buddy of my dads shot a doe one shotgun season and when he was skinning it found a broadhead in the shoulder. These animals are crazy strong Ive heard a story of one getting hit by two slugs during a deer push and it was never found. Granted I'm sure that deer did die but I was told the blood trail just stopped. It sucks but experience is the best teacher in my opinion!!!!!!

I think it might be except for CNY

Did not find it. We found the first blood where it was hit and it was a very weak trail for only 10 yards or so. Right where the deer turned left we found the arrow with the tip broke off of it and no blood what so ever on the arrow. Really feel like it was a shoulder shot. Looked all over for more blood and hoping we might get lucky and run into it. It really sucks it just leaves an empty pit in my stomach. I'm hoping the deer could still be alive and just maybe we will get a shot at it before the season is over.

Yep thats what were doing tomorow morning. Starting from square one and go from there. From where it was shot to were the weezing was heard was not to far. I have a good feeling it is somewhere in that thick stuff/goldenrod. I just really hope we find it. Anyways thanks again and good luck!!!

Broadside shot not sure were it hit the deer I was not there when he shot it and I'm just going on what he told me. It did fall to the ground after it flipped up. However it got back up and ran away. Where we are thinking it died is very tall goldenrod and will be tough to check. Gonna get out there in the morning and march over every spec of ground it could have even had a chance of touching. I hate these situations but I am confident we can find it. Just was wondering about the weezing aspect. Also my uncle said he has not seen a coyote in a couple years I'm hoping we get lucky. Thank you for the help!!!!

Today my buddy shot a 4 point buck just before dark. It ran straight back from where it came from turned right out of sight and weezed twice. Very loudly I could here it from my stand atleast 100 yards away. Let it sit about half and hour went to where we thought it was hit and found no blood and no arrow. Walked a little farther and still no blood. My buddy told me the deer just about flipped over itself when he hit it. By now its pitch black out and were letting it sit. We really have no choice and are praying coyotes don't get it. Im wondering if anyone thinks the deer was weezing because it was dying or just ticked cause it got hit. I kind of think he might not have hit it in a good spot. We are heading back tomorow to look again. Any info on this is greatly appreciated. Other than that it was a great day and saw 10 deer total between me my buddy and my dad. 3 buck but the 4 point was the biggest.

No way super pumped LOL!!!! I'm sure you will get the charge back in you when you see a couple deer!!!!

Yep I'm so excited!!! It sucks that the nor easter is coming through hopefully when it has passed deer movement will be at a maximum!!!

Yea once it stops raining deer should be moving. Maybe the rain predicted will be a blessing!!!

Well its bow hunting eve for the SZ of NY. Good Luck to everyone who is going to be in the woods this weekend and may your arrows fly straight!!! Hope that everyone has successfull hunts and good times!!!! And remember to hunt hard, smart and SAFE!!!!

LOL thats sweet

Looks like alot of rain throughout most of upstate on Sat morning. Hope Im wrong though but I will still be out there!!!

oops didn't realize it was region 4 LOL

8G For the first time. Im up at school in Brockport and I will be hunting my uncles just outside of Bataiva NY. Hopefully will be a blast!!!

Geno I guess the only real way to figure things out is just go out and try different things. Thanks for the info it sounds good. I read that once a buck looses velvet he is capable of breading up to the point where he drops his antlers. It would make sense that a buck would come into a estrous call or scent. Ill probably just call sparingly or if I see a buck. Also the area Im hunting has never really had hunting pressure in the past few years. As for weather it is suppose to rain Sat. morning but be nice the rest of the weekend. Not sure on the wind though. Again thanks for the help and good luck!!!

I think I don't have many people beat with a whoping 20 years old!!!

Geno Thats pretty cool and good info. Hopefully factors like the wind and rain won't be around like everyone is saying.

OK thanks. I guess what my question was is that do doe estrous calls work? They seem like an odd sound to me and I was just wondering if at some point will they attract a buck or scare them?

thats sweet!!!! def in the pre rut if there comin in your back yard for a target!!!!

Has anybody ever had any luck with doe estrous calls like the Primos can?

I usually just go with cheapest LOL. I probably shouldn't but I do. I couldn't even tell you the brand name of the stuff I'm using now but it is suppose to smell like dirt. Me and my dad bought it in bulk a few years back and still have some left. Surprisingly it has worked. I don't remember the last time I was busted by a deer's nose.

Its alot of work but really is fun when you get your family or your hunting buddies together to do it. To me its part of the whole bonding thing when you get telling stories and things like that!!!
