I just moved to Cornwall CT. Haven't hunted CT yet, still hunting in my spots in NY but I see decent amount of deer coming up RT 7 every night. Need to do some research to find some spots to hunt in the area. Have you hunted Wyantenock?
Lower than I've seen. On the 60 acres I hunt, we found 6 dead deer in the stream beds. The neighbors who has thousands of acres said he found 60 dead deer.
Hunted there opening day yesterday, and 5 or 6 times durring bow. Saw 4 doe early season and nothing since.
Sat from 5:40-11 with no sightings and then walked to the north end of property until 3 pm and no sighting. Not much sign either. Only 2 other cars in parking lot on opening. Very weird. No deer and no hunters.
In the same boat. Sat from 5:40 to 10 on state land and then walked a mile further in and walked/sat until 3 pm. No deer, no hunters and almost no sign. It's early, we have time. Don't get discouraged.
Drinking a can of Marzen from Mill House in Poughkeepsie. Pretty good although I like it a little more carbonated and a little less caramel in an Oktoberfest but still enjoyable.. Also drinking a Spaten Oktoberfest. Classic, good and clean and a little biscuity. Very easy drinking.
I use them as more of a hobby. I put 1 cam out on state land 2 months ago and only checked it once. I hunted this same state land the past 2 days but haven't checked it as it's 1 mile in. If I am walking 1 mile in to check the cam, I am hunting that area regardless of whats on the camera.
