Nothin movin where I am. Today is field and streams best day of the rut. I think they missed on that call.

Thanks for tips everyone. Lol at gander mountain hate

I finally did it - today after climbing up my stand my bow fell 15 feet to the ground, it didn't appear to hit anything hard on the way down and there were some leaves on the ground on its landing spot, also landing on the quiver side. I looked it over and it looks fine, and I took it up to Gander Mountain to have one of the archery techs look at it, unfortunately noone was there yet but the guy from firearms apparently helps out over there and knows a little about bows and he looked it over and said it should be fine. It drew back fine, have not had time to shoot yet but heres my question - assuming that it shoots fine am I good to go or should I have it looked over by someone else? Dont know what anyone else could really do for it but at the same time, neither of us are archery pros. Suggestions?

Congrats everybody

I put a stalk on 2 does after getting out of stand this morning in an attempt to get my first bow kill. Missed a chip shot, not sure what happened. I think it must have been buck fever minus the buck

Got in stand 615, nice quiet walk in. Saw nothing and nothing, at least another nice morning. Where are the deer??

Beautiful morning today - saw 5 driving to my spot. Any early sightings?

and another

Few more from cny

First buck I've seen here in CNY, hopefully will be seeing more of him throughout the summer and this fall!

those are some awesome pictures, what part of ny those from

I was just wondering if anyone here has any or has had trail cams on public land? I would like to leave one out in a new spot to see what's going on. I know there would be a big risk of someone stealing it I'm just wondering if anyone else does it?

Hello everyone I am new to forum and trailcams. I just got my first one a few days ago and placed it in front of a fresh ground scrape. First night nothing, then added some of the gravedigger stuff hoping to get some bucks on camera. Following 2 nights have gotten 2 different bucks but neither have touched the scrape. Recently read elsewhere that it is suggested to put trailcamera at a higher elevation as the flash is less likely to spook the dear, was wondering what your opinions were, Im just concerned it is too close to scrape or too low, but it looks like a lot of pictures i see here have similar camera placement to mine. I have attached the pics so any opinions at all on this subject would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
