blackradio Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 looked promising early with a ton of bucks on cam. I took a button with the bow early on and today I took a mature doe with shotgun. Last week was the peak for me. Saw a lot of chasing action. Drew on a 6 pt at 30 yards on the 13th when he was chasing 4 does but couldn't get him to turn for me. Then the next morning had a doe come under the stand and then a big wide 8 or 10pt come to 34 yds but was blocked by a blow down. Been really slow since gun opened. Saw 7 does today but only because they got pushed out of the other guys property. Getting after them again tomorrow. good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenian Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hi guys. I shot a 4 point buck in Wingdale on my brother's property this past Tuesday (11/20). I was in my elevated blind all of 30 minutes (0720, got a late start) when he passed in front of me through some thick cover. Took an AccuTip slug through his heart and still managed to run across a stream and 35 yards or so up a ridge. Stopped by Amato's this morning and he still wasn't ready, so somebody is shooting deer. Aside from that I've been to my spot in Kent 3 times and saw a glimpse of a couple of does, that's it. Be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkln Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I live in Wingdale but I have no private land to hunt around the house so I have to travel to the club's property in Hyde Park on the other side of the county. The camp is doing well this year, so far we got a button, two spikes and my big 11 pointer. Last year we were empty in all seasons, so I can't complain this year is a good one for me. Keep hunting.

I also live in Dover got a small piece of private land that I hunt other wise do most hunting on state land.I grew up in Hyde Park and it was allways good hunting until they started the land clearing behind the Mooseclub I was able to hunt from Market street up to the Moose.It sucks that they build where ever.

blackradio Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 good to see some locals. I live in Pawling, near the Wingdale train station. I hunt about 80 acres of private land in Wingdale. Hard property to hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POC Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I too live in Wingdale and so far I have not seen much action. Heard some shooting on opening day and I saw a young 4ptr and a doe on Monday but passed them up. Waiting for something bigger but losing patience.
