Anyone on LI seeing anything decent out there?

[Fishhead631]

I've been noticing a lot of Does through out the summer on the cameras....

Not much Buck action, few 4's /6's, (less then normal from previous years).

I know a couple good 10's+ made it through last season, though, not seeing them anywhere...

What's it look out there?

I dont have any trail cameras, but I been scouting a few times.  One morning I intentially got out early to glass a field that I was interested in hunting near, and saw a big boy out there. Very tall rack, 8 or 10 pts.  Other than that I've seen a four other bucks almost accidentally. None big. But to your question.....Its long island, there is always deer around and there is always a chance for a real bruiser rack.

Same here.  All does and fawns on my trail cams.  Only one young buck so far.

Saw some turkey and a small 6 tonight. Kicked something up on the way out.

Havent been killin it as far as time in the woods.  jUst too busy lately.  But, from a two morning posts that I did last weekend, it seems that the morning activity went down considerably from opening day til now in the two spots I hunted. oh well. 

 

Past up some shots on does and small bucks opening day, havent had any shot opportunities since.  Also saw 2 good bucks and one real nice one the first few days of season (no shots), but didnt see any this past weekend.

Where I hunt does see a little pressure ....I did see a few opening day but no shot. Still haven't seen a decent buck.

Good luck. Stay dry.

My buddy shot a nice 8 pointer Tuesday evening.  I also was out only to find my hang-on stolen. I set up on the ground at the other end of the little field.  I had 3 does come by, but no bucks.

Somebody on the Island has a nice bunch of stands and cameras.... Scumb*gs. I wouldn't be surprised if they took the deer too.

I stopped leaving stands and trail cams out a few years ago. A climber and two cams later and I learned my lesson. I have come a cross many items in the woods and would nevererr think of taking it. I believe in karma and I'm sure they will get what's commin to them

I've had guys hang their stand in the same tree a "posted" sign was nailed to.

[L. I. Yankee]

I have found guys in my stand on posted property

[Mike127]

Shot this guy opening morning and have been out probably 12 days since. He was the only decent one I saw

Anyone seeing any sign....I was out this morning and got down at11:30 to take a look around both on public and private land. Saw two small rubs and no scrapes. Seems like that here isn't a deer in the woods

Get out early to beat the crowd

Went out this afternoon. Didn't see a thing. Wind wasn't helping. Found some nice fresh rubs all over and a few scrapes. Set up a camera, hopefully I'll get to see something if no ones steals it. Also found out someone's been setting up a stand on he property. I guess they can't read. POSTED.

[L. I. Yankee]

I deal with that all the time...I lost two cameras over the past couple years...hope yours make it

Just got it this year. Maybe it will help pin point the times a little better, if it survives?

The piece I hunt has had an influx of trespassing a**holes that can't read. They cut branches, screw steps into trees, mess up the place. The owner gets real pissed, which makes it harder for me to get permission each year.

Get the landowner's OK to do so and then call the DEC and the cops.When the tresspassers are caught......have the landowner press charges.....to the fullest extent.The tresspassers will get the hint.

[L. I. Yankee]

Hope your not using an expensive one....with all the trespassers running around it not gonna have a good ending.I have permission on a small 10 acre place In Southampton and I have had a few on it....Im expecting to loose it any year now.....it's frustrating as hell I have lost more good places because of other knuckle heads its not even funny

Bought a cheaper model that was on sale. We already had 3 ticketed/ stopped by DEC. They still don't get it. Unfortunately, the courts don't see trespassing, baiting, jacking as serious crimes and these idiots just come back the next year hoping to get away with it. I've hunted private spots out east where someone planted weed in the corn fields.
