Small buck just walked past. Looked like a little 3 point.

[Lucky118]

Sounds like first day of gun season up here in 4o. Did I miss the memo  lol

[rob-c]

Had what I  believe was a small back walk right by my other  stand 50 yards from the one I was in . Wife watched a big red Fox for several minutes , she tried getting video but he was running  all about .  First scrape of the season for us , 10 yards behind the ladder stand I was in .

When you climb down and see a rub on the sapling you hook your haul line on …

Freshest sign is still in the oaks with acorns dropping .  Gonna move a stand up there.

Might give it a go this afternoon.buddy was hunting in Bethany this morning and hardly any movement(3 flatheads) and his two friends the same exact thing

[Five Seasons]

Moved a cam today and made a mock scrape. Left a little bit of Old Man grampy Pee to really get em thinking! Or maybe laughing? We'll see.
Been a few nice bucks killed on this ridge.

It worked for me yesterday lol, note the time stamps after pee

Last 24 hours so has been an uptick. A few friends and acquit have tagged on 8s in the 115-125” range across Monroe/Livingston area.

This AM was a crap show with neighbors doing work right at dawn. On way to Ohio for the next day or so. Have to take a shot. 7:30 is 30 ish minutes after dark so gotta try it. The other buck is new this season first time on cam but I think it’s one from last year that I had a few times.

[Lucky118]

Well I was expecting a little better today. But one 3 point and a doe and what sounded like a bunch of squirrel  hunters blasting the other end of property up. NY never forgets to disappoint.  But atleast it's consistent.  Guess next week back to PA.

[Five Seasons]

Well i finally got out last night for 3rd sit of the season.  I had a decent 8pt come to food plot and I missed at 32 yds!  He was a little spooked and  jumped the string. Back in this morning for a while, nothing so far, feels like a great day.  Good luck all.

I don’t want to be that guy, but it’s highly unlikely he jumped the string enough for a complete miss. More likely the shot was a little off too, typically low at distance and jumping the string would have helped.

In my experience it’s not great to shoot an alert deer, but it can be done. Just normally see it end in wounds, not a total miss.

You got it next time!

Bright reddish, double lunger?

Yeah. Was a freaking crime scene. Maybe went 30 yards, death roll and dead in less than 30s.

I agree it's a better situation if the deer is not alert.  But depending on the distance, shot angle (uphill or downhill), I have seen deer duck an arrow for a clean miss.  That is their first reaction to the twang usually, to crouch before taking off.  I certainly don't believe they are purposely ducking the arrow, it's just what they do.  For that reason my aim point with my bow is a bit lower than with the thunder stick.

Dead buck mania on the thruway across the Rochester exits, at least four and one big one

Just drove from Buffalo to Rochester for my son's hockey game there were definitely a lot more dead deer on that stretch of thruway compared to last weekend 

[50calpeephole]

Spooked a deer on the way to the stand this afternoon, haven't seen much in the last few hours.  

Last night I saw a spike get bagged by a suv, so they're getting more active, just not near me.  

 

Strangely, I'm hearing a lot of shots off in the distance- it's still bow season here so must be good turkey?
