Heading up late friday night.Cheers? thats on 17B?

Depot road  Cochecton Road, next to the mill. Its a real dive but the guy Bill we both know said to stop by there.

* edit, looked it up... Its actually called III Cheers on Cochecton Road.  Not sure if I will get to go Friday, depends what time I get up there. Its right around the block from both of us.

Well this weekend was a bust for me,Saw nothing on Sat. until I walked back to my truck at sunset and there were 3 does standing next to it,I think they were checking my inspection sticker,They saw me and bolted. Sunday,nothing. Still hunted all day .Found several rubs and scraps at least. Will try again Wed, Should be a lot colder.

So I decided to reenact the battle of Stalingrad today,Damn it was cold.The snow ended at 8:30 and I still hunted along a ridge.I cut fresh tracks that were only minutes old and after quietly tracking 2 sets of tracks for 20 minutes I spotted movement ahead. I drew a bead on the big doe and "Click" no bang. WTF, I slowly racked the bolt and reinserted the round again and CLICK. I pull the round out and the primer is dented,A dud. Reload and and She drops. First time thats ever happened.

I was up there for the 24/25th, when it was a cool 15 and 12 degrees respectively.  The first morning I had 2 button bucks (that almost got shot because I thought they were does until I scoped them) and a big bodied NY 11 pointer (1+1) walk by together.  After that, I saw nothing for the rest of the time I was in the woods.  My brother was out with me, hunting the other side of the hill, and he saw nothing at all during the same span.

 

Going to try to make it out again for the last Sunday in regular season, and maybe stay for the first day or two of MZ.
