Thanks for kicking off the new season with an updated post. This will be filled over the season

A great morning under cloudy skies with a temp of 60 degrees.  A ton of movement. Deer, fox, coyote, turkey, rabbit, squirrel, and a rooster pheasant. First one in three years. He crowed in the distance.  All antlerless deer with smaller fawns. 

Doing some reading, I see where our area are in antler restrictions now. When did that sneak in?  Makes not difference to us as we have always practice that. I personally don't see the need for a law on it though.

You’re Niagara County?  I don’t see any restrictions.    Maybe I missed it……

 Sitting on about 15 acres of forage. Out at 6 pm. Young and old alike. Sure nice to be out for another season!

For me that is what I love about hunting, even if no game is taken it was a good day.

I'll take this over to a new thread in deer hunting.

It was very strange deer hunting in September. It was like, " should I be out here with a weapon right now?" I had to pinch myself to see if it was real. This can't be the New York I know.

I can see why some choose not to hunt this early season.  Great to be in a free society to be able to choose.

New Hunter score on this doe. It was perfect doe without fawns . He was supper excited. Doe was taking in 8N .  Giving God at the glory.

I’m definitely thanking Him for this “fatted calf” that He blessed my wife and I with last night:

I can’t wait for a fillet mignonette sub for dinner tonight, and I’m really looking forward to the liver.

Good deal. New Hunter and a mature animal. As it should be.

Now you will see him as a 2yr old and take him out.

The Good Lord blessed me with a fat mature doe at 2 minutes past sunset this evening.  Beat the buzzer by 28 minutes.  I’m lovin this early antlerless gun season.  Takes most of the “meat” pressure off  for the remainder of the seasons this year.

Frustrating to see these guys walk past my office window yet are no where to be found in may. 

[Arcade Hunter]

I was fortunate enough to harvest one during the antlerless season.  8G.  This stateland certainly got some pressure last week

Been a long busy summer with the kids, Just finally checked stands this week! No time to mess around with cams. MY first year going in blind and I'm excited. Haven't been on all year so ill add this, got my first turkey this spring ( a jake double with a friend).

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Shoot straight and please stay safe!

Let's go. Good luck to my fellow deer hunters out here this morning.

[GreeneHunter]

Good Luck out there !

[Hock3y24]

First day feels great to be out. At my sisters property in 9A 54F and no wind. Friend is on back side of property in stand. Good luck to anyone that's out today.

It's raining under my trees.
