Should be peak chasing, I'm not sweating the warm temps the deer will be thinking with their weiners not brains.

Meatball hero

Purchased a new bow. I need a tuneup and arrows. Looking for a shop preferably in Suffolk.

I hunt 7p New Berlin.

Is the bow still available and where are you located.

The only way I can do it is if I am seeing consistent deer. Otherwise I get way to antsy.

Was up about a week and a half ago saw a few deer and a bunch of scrapes. Any locals have a rut report. I hunt 7p new Berlin

Let us know when you fill the freezer hafo. You are due! Good luck!

Amen!

I don't know about those regions but on long island their is less as it gets colder.

I usually take an old piece of venison and leave it in my washing machine untill it gets lots of maggots then wash everything with the meat maggots and all.

Ok, so I am chomping at the bit to get in my stand for opening day of gun. I will be in my stand all day along a heavily used deer trail containing a few scrapes that I found last week. I am not one for calls and scents but I will use a drag on the way up. It has been 3 years since I filled my freezer so as you can imagine I am pretty hungry. Btw I am hunting 7p new Berlin.

rem ,35 marlin is on point..... will be hunting new berlin 7p

"been there done that, youll see" Can you please elaborate this is my first time hunting the island I'd like to know what to expect. The site says the refuge is at 50-60 deer per square mile that sounds nuts to me. Thnx

A cloudy night to block out the full moon if they are running all night activity may be a little low during the day.

I got a liftime supply of foot and hand warmers at price club....lol

Ok, so this is my forth gun season since I took a Haidas from hunting in my early twenties. My question is for you guys what tactics will you try for this opening day I know I have varied tactics from year to year depending on how the rut fell on opening day. My thinking this year is opening day will fall on the down turn of the rut so there are many variables to ponder do I use a call, which kind, do I use some tinks 69 or will this keep the does away, drippers, draggers, locations, tree stand, still hunting etc...... it is enough to make you really lose your mind!!!! That is why I think this year I am not gonna over think it, I will go to my old faithful tree stand that is located in the woods a few hundred yard in from a field and put the time in and let the deer dictate to me their behavior and adjust my tactics from there. What tactics are some of you experts using out there?
