lol yea they are bad on long island.  I was at rocky point and came out with a ton of em...nasty  little things

I also got them in rocky point.  They only got to my left ankle area though....nowhere else.  And I have no idea how they got to my skin....I was covered head to toe, tucked pants inside socks and wrapped tape around my boots up over my ankle halfway up my calf....and still I got bit.  I also had sprayed all my clothes with permathin including my boots and socks.

yea I hunted rocky point this morning still no damn deer! I wish it would get colder out they just don't seem to be moving like they were last year.  You see anything at rocky point? I was at 11 today. I also used permathin today and no ticks what so ever that I have seen so far.  I think they go through the clothes themselves if they sense heat and moisture. Last time I had like 12 of em

I had seen one deer at rocky point my first time out scouting a few months ago...as for this hunting season I have SEEN nothing.  I have found that hearing is much more productive in finding traces of deer nearby.  I have heard grunting nearby once but I have only been out 2 times.....work keeps me a weekend warrior and unfortunately I was away last weekend so I couldn't get out.  PM me maybe we can compare notes lol.

yea its wild I hunt both days every weekend and anywhere in between I can sneak it in.  But for some reason there just don't seem to be the deer populations around the hunting areas that there used to be.  They seem to be overpopulating everywhere else however they don't seem to show up anywhere you can legally kill them.

      3D Target Demolished!
      By CrossOvertheRiverOutdoors
      Hey Everyone! This is Louis Backlas/ Cross Over the River Outdoors. I just posted a new video to my YouTube channel that I though ya'll might get a kick out of! Have you ever used a decoy to hunt whitetails? If you haven't before you might want to start! I woke up one morning and look out my front window only  to find that my 3D deer target was in pieces all over the front lawn! A fired up buck decided to take his frustrations out on the target!  this took place sometime in November during the peek of the rut. Hope ya'll get a kick out of it!

      Seen this deer?
      By GetEmDrake
      Hey All,
      New to the forum, already missing the deer season and have curiosity to quell. This was a great non-typical I was chasing all season in a bow-only area of Ithaca. Anyone know or hear of a non-typical of this caliber being killed? I'll be out scouting for him aggressively soon enough. Thanks!

      Almost Central NY
      By JBones
      Hello folks. I'm a novice hunter from almost Central NY. I live amongst the cow fields about 20 minutes south of the ADK park. I'm here hoping that I can learn from those who know more than I do. That's probably most of you. LOL. This is my second season and so far I still have all of my tags. I have a rifle but I'm not comfortable shooting it in the area I hunt due to people being near. I'm hoping to fill at least one of my tags before Dec 19.
