Will Hunt this Saturday until next Saturday. 3 point or higher in Vermont. Hunting public land and last year got my first Vermont harvest.

Geno C Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 ill tell ya, these past 3-4 weeks have been brutal... for me atleast. ill be lucky if i even see anything with antlers at this point. opening day and the second weekend were great for seeing deer for me, seems like it came to a screeching halt. Any chasing ive seen was done by small scrub bucks just exercising does and even that i only have seen about twice. me and my buddies all see to say week after week "it will happen this weekend" things will pickup but we sound like broken records lol im seeing mostly yearlings and does with the exception to that small 6 point last sunday. hope you guys are seeing better movement. saw 10 deer today throughout the day, all different times. all doe and yearlings... hopefully tomorrow our luck changes. goodluck guys!

pistolp71 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hang in there Geno. Things can change in an instant. Was out this morning, still good action with 3 bucks and 4 does. A small buck and a doe were doing laps around my stand. Just nothing I feel like sending a carbon express into yet. I'll be back out in the morning.

PWGUNNY Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Sat in a tree this morning. I saw one doe hanging around behind me, but nothing else came along. That could be it for my bowhunting for the year. I rifle hunt upstate next weekend and then it's on to pheasant hunting with the dog.

LIWaterman Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Season has been a series of amateur mistakes and bad luck on my part. Hoping my luck changes today. Seen six deer so far. Just had forkhorn with his nose to the ground on a does trail but didnt seem all that interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sportsman Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 season has been generally poor for me too Waterman. Lately though (last week or two) i've been seeing deer consistently, which is good. but only 1 that I would have liked to shoot. A high 8 ptr. He was out of range and was stuck with a couple of does. Honestly, thats the only Nice buck I've seen all season. its disappointing that with so many deer on Long Island, it could be really tough to get eyes on deer sometimes, no less a big buck. Just gotta stay with it. remember things you did right and things you did wrong and adjust accordingly. I think this october i hunted too many spots instead of focusing on two or three. Like i have in the past. Good luck. It aint over. keep hammering away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistolp71 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Don't like this warm weather at all. Finally saw a shooter this morning. Nice big 8 with a doe but couldn't get him close enough. I threw the kitchen sink at him but he wouldn't leave that doe. Heading back out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistolp71 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Nothing. Saw one small yearling chasing a doe on the way in, that's it. What time yesterday did you shoot your buck Geno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 My buddy shot his at 1pm and mine was at like 215pm My other buddy just shot a nice little 10 point. He also told me about some giant giant 8 point that's at Oakdales taxidermist that went 170" anyone hear this!??? That's hugeeee for an 8, if that's true I has to see pics of this thing. I heard people went down and said it was a giant 8 160-170 but wonder how true it is?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistolp71 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Nice, I wish I could stay in the woods all day. Just can't do it. Gonna give it a couple more hunts then off to upstate cabin for the opener. I didn't hear about it. That's insane for an 8. Probably a bit of an exaggeration. Would like to see it though.

retired2hunt Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Geno a friend of mine saw it also. He said it scored 171. Haven't been out much myself due to work and the storm pretty much once a week went out yesterday and couldn't resist on a basket eight he came in at 6:30 am just cruising. Haven't seen any chasing but my buddies that have been putting the time in have scored well. Went out this afternoon and only saw a spike pestering a yearling doe. Guess it depends on where your hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I have a pic of the deer that my buddy sent me hope it's not the same deer, it does not look 170 to me tho it deff looks 140ish tho. But doesn't have big brows, spread or mass IMO but I've been wrong before lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
