Sat in a stand in Pittsford on West Bloomfield road from 3:30 to 6:30 . Legal sundown was 6:11 . Wanted to see if anything would come out when it started to get dark . Didn't see a thing and it was a spot where I had seen quite a few bucks a couple of weeks ago . The wind was blowing right in my face and it was cold . There's always another day .

Shot a practice arrow this am at 25 yards. It looked to be right on. Later when I got down I couldn't find the arrow. Every thing on the ground looked the same. I got out my range finder and did a reverse look op from the line of fire. When I was at 25 yards I looked down in the high grass and was able to spot the Nock and some fetching. Those range finders are great.

I was planning on hunting in either Mendon or South Bristol tomorrow with my youngest son but we cancelled out . Mendon is forecasted for rain a good part of the am . South Bristol is forecasted for rain in the early am ( 7 am ) and the wind will be from the south west which is bad for our stand locations . I guess i'll be back out Monday . Still waiting for my 1st shot of the Season .

Drove to Geneseo . Was in my pod blind by 6:15 . Had a doe and 2 young ones show up around 7:30 . They milled around for about 15 minutes at 70 yards and headed into the thick stuff . Left the stand at 9:30 figuring it was equal to 10:30 last week's time . The Cock Pheasant flew past my blind and landed in the field . 

The Genesee Valley Hunt was supposed to chase fox at the "Bottoms" and figured they might drive some deer my way but they hunted North instead so I wasted a lot of time being in a stand and seeing nothing . My back was killing me from sitting in the ladder stand so long . Saw a red fox at 3:30 and at 4:30 there were to anterless deer in the adjacent field about 300 yards away . Those Bushnell Binos are great . Watched a hawk strafing the field and it almost seemed like it was trying to antagonize the deer . Kinda funny !

They hunted our place this week, on Wednesday. A couple of the guys hunted while they were there and saw alot of deer, but no opportunities at them. I get all kinds of trail cam pics and videos of the hounds running around.

Going to hunt in South Bristol tomorrow morning with two of my son . It will be a i cold with a light breeze blowing in our faces .

My foot should feel better by then . Over a wee ago , when it was cold , I had put on a pair of socks and then applied HotHands Insole Foot Warmers to my socks and then put on another pair of socks . They didn't feel that warm but apparently enough to burn the bottom of my feet and leave blisters . Still sore but better . It will be a long walk down hill and probably have to walk sideways as it is steep and slippery . Kinda rough being old !  My youngest son and I will be hunting with compounds . My oldest son will be using his new cross bow instead of his recurve . Here's hoping it turns out to be a productive day !

Very surprised Foot warmers actually burned your feet even put on outside of socks and all too. Have fun and good luck with your sons.

I had them between 2 layers of socks . I had used them outside of 2 layers the week before with no problem except that weren't that warm . 

Never had a problem using the Toe Warmers .

Met 2 of my sons at a spot in South Bristol and we hunted along a couple of gullies . Matt and I were on the North side and Nick was on the south side . Matt was 100+ yards down the hill from me . He said there were 10 turkeys roosting in the tree next to him and the flew across the gully . He saw 2 different bucks but nothing close enough to shoot with his cross bow .

I wasn't seeing anything ! At 9:18 , I got a text from Nick ... "Buck down" . He had put out a couple of scent sticks which drew the buck in . He saw a doe and 2 fawns headed his way after shooting the buck but when they got a whiff of the scent sticks , they took off . A fairly good size 10 point but the tines weren't very big in diameter . A 10 point no less . Around 10:30 Matt and I headed over to help Nick get the deer out of the gully . Matt and Nick dragged it on the sled but it still was a chore . Once out of the gully , they got the other land owners permission to drive down in the field and get the deer . We were looking it over and noticed some ticks . So , they spent some time pulling them off of the deer . They left to head back to Honeoye Falls to take care of the deer and told me that if I stayed and got a deer to call and they would come back .

Around 3:45 , I saw 5 anter less across the small gully along the edge of the grassy field . They headed south rather than come my way . Later I saw 3 more . I left the stand at 4:30 . Got to the car and called to let the boys know that they were off the hook and didn't have to return . On the way out I spotted two bucks . So it wasn't an uneventful day after all but ........ I hate getting up at 3 in the morning !
