    So I used 1 gallon freezer ziplocks, i could feel the difference, but after 90 mins, my feet got cold, lasted a total of like 3.5 hrs, which would be really good in some circumstances, but not this lol.

    Forgot stuffing! Brain must still be frozen! I am not amused!

    I see, makes sense. I will draw a pic like i said, show you the land, should realistically be a sort of funnel. There are 2 parallel "hills" with a flat low lying area in between, one end is swamp, the other is an old pond thats dried up pretty much. I wonder if this was all a big body of water at some point since the little creek connects the swamp, and dried up pond. Yes, swamp...you will have to see a pic to see why I dont go to that end to hunt. I feel like the far hill could have bedded deer watching the low area, so if i travel through, im busted. need more stands, and cams. Really need to scout too next year

    Uhhh, not here at home, no. Theres is a spot just out of my hunting area, its not hunted, but land owner does not want me hunting across the stream. This spot was an old landing for loging YEARS ago, like in the 70s i think she said, it is tall grass, about a 1/2 acre. I think they bed there, but never put cams there. The stream itself is practically worthless, since there's always puddles down in here I feel like.

    Are you in NY? good info thank you. I probably have been patterned, but I would think a buck on a daytime journey would eventually show. Then again, if the doe to buck ratio is way maybe these bucks do not need to travel far, I don't know

    I have been honestly. I tried a buck bomb in my far stand first ever, had an 8 come in....bad angles, didnt shoot, had to pass. He paid no attention to where I sprayed the buck bomb, so I don't know of coincidence, but I will try one again in the future. I tried code blue here, the does were very confused lol, it was almost comical. They kept circling, huffing, run off, sneak back, circle, etc. Tinks scent wick has not had much results here. I take them out with me, but left one in front of my one cam for haha's.

    Very similar situation, saaaaame doe group allllll season since mid October when I started hunting for the season. Thanks Jeremy

    I do need a few more stands, I have another double person 18' ladder to go up for next year, and I know just the spot. However, due to the lay of the land, I can only access these stands, from almost the same path. I will draw a pic to show, and post. I sat in my "far stand" Saturday, and Sunday since I had left it be for a week. I have sat in my "skyscraper" Tuesday, Wednesday, and until 11ish this morning, feet were in pain so cold. Monday, I sat in thr far stand for a couple hours, and had to leave unexpectedly, so no hunting that day. I honestly don't know where there is bedding here, I have suspicions, but when theres snow, I see the melted ovals, and they are just so random, no cover, or anything. Food? No ag for 10's of miles, only our few yards, and aside from that its just woods, that allllll looks the saaaaame. I am not seeing any horns at all really now. Thank you Rob. I should sneak to my far stand for the afternoon, i typically sit full days, but my feet couldnt do it today. Oh yeah, by the way, my Skyscraper is only about 200' in from backyard, this is just prior, but within view of that path I get rut action on cam, and rubs, yearly. The lay of the land makes sense for this stand being so close to the house, sort of a funnel. Again I need a pic

    That sounds a lot like this place...as in if you see him, you will never see him again. Only once have I seen a deer while hunting, that has been photo'd here. I would like to put a plot in, or some apple trees. The more I think about it, we had more buck sightings when the house up the road had about a dozen or so apple trees, the trees ALL died a few years ago. This is all clicking now really... My home is dead center of my 5 acres, so I really do not have much room for a decent sized plot. 50% or so I would say is pines, so the soil is crap, I would think. I will start reading in the land management section. Have to chit chat with my boss too, he is very good with grass management, and growing plants. thanks for the chit chat Jeremy.

    Ok, thanks. do any cams show bigger bucks cruising overnight?
  16. Bionic
    I saw that, congrats! still curious why these bigger legal bucks up my way seem to only cruise during the middle of the night
  17. Bionic
    Ok, so then do you tend to see good daytime rutting action? Here is always at night, as far as 4 cameras go. I placed 2 cams where rubs are ALWAYS from year to year. All long after dark. The other cam is further in where one year had good daytime rut action, and rubs. The 4th is on the edge of my yard, from time to time over the years, I get a buck on that camera.
  18. Bionic
    You see many bucks? look closely...as in for a trailing buck? Next week you're thinking more so than this week? Did I read that correctly?

    I am afraid to kill a coupl doe with my either or tags because sightings are so few, I feel like there the only deer here! Sounds funny maybe, but I am serious. Its so laxed here as far as hunyimg pressure goes, I feel like this should be a gold mine for hunting success. I have not shot a deer here since 2014 gun opener. Passed a good 7 the following year(bad idea), and had no other legal buck sightings while hunting, until an 8 was passed 3 weeks ago, due to bad angles, so i passed. is there a reason these legal bucks tend to move during overnight hours, even when I stay out of there? These does never wind me either, so i feel like I am ok with scent control.

    Question, here at home, 5 acres plus sole permission on 80 ish acres attached to it. There is lots and lots of wooded land up here, sort of a big wood scenario. Across the road is 1800+\- acres of pure woods. Trying to set a feel for thr land. Anyways, year after year, the rutting action I catch on camera, seems to be during the night. I did not go in these woods all spring/summer. I did set up 2 stands in mid September I believe it was. I started placing cameras around the same time in spots that I could check to/from stands. No bucks at all until November, and the legal bucks(AR zone), are always during the late night, sometimes a few hours prior to sun rise. I was seeing a few spikes during bow, and a 4 pointer, but they would just wander on through. I would think these legal bucks would almost be a bit more laxed to stroll in daylight since they are born in an AR zone, I would think deer who could legally be killed in a non AR zone would be more skittish. I just don't understand this property. I have a lot of common sense, but when it comes to hunting I tend to overlook, or some details never cross my mind. This is western Sullivan County....3K any thoughts on this? Its been this way year after year here. My other spot in 3M I get good bucks photo'd, but their deer density is through the sky compared to here. also, I do routinely see 5-8 does where I am hunting, while I hunt they routinely pass by....I would think at some point a buck of any caliber would walk through. sorry for the book, I am just stumped again.

    Im in my skyscraper. 8 degrees, calm wind, and a few red squirrel.

    Haha, no not yet. Sound is what we refer to our real hand as, sorry habit to say that. Plus my feet are currently in ziplock freezer bags, at least I will have to ziplocks real close by for the leftover turkey
  25. Bionic
    My sound hand fights off cold well, happy about that.
