That's why I am out. Was debating it with the wind, but just have that feeling. Let's hope it is correct.

With the wind expected I thought briefly about packing my chainsaw just in case it was needed. I decided not to being state land I know you aren't supposed to damage trees. It sure would have been nice to have though. 

First pic is the tree 300 yards up from where I parked. Having that chainsaw would have been nice

the second pic is about 15 yards from where I parked. As I was putting my gear away that sucker came crashing down. Glad I got out of there when I did. Trees are down all over the place in 6k.

I past on a big doe this morning. Waiting for the big boys to come out of hiding. However this is about the 6th doe i past on that has been within 10 yards. Sat out a little this afternoon but called it quits around 330. Wind is just to fierce and trees are coming down around me. My stand was making me nauseous lol. Thinking next week I'm going to focus on filling the freezer and consider taking one these does. That's if the boys don't come out and play. Happy and SAFE hunting friends

First sit of the year. In 1c and only about 10 feet up with this wind. Good luck all. 

[Tughill Tamer]

Close to a mile back in, only way to get to is by beaver dams, 3 apple trees with apples..

Only thing I'm missing is deer...

[biggamefish]

Finally out in the stand the wind is brutal but I had to do it.  Let's hope something shows to make it interesting.

 

Pic of a bear doesn't look huge but still cool.

Listen to yourself, your excuses are embarrassing to listen to. Even is my area where deer are as scarce as reports say, I still see does constantly- and the deer that started this discussion was a 6 month old male, so small it will be tagged as a doe. 

Just for your info I am 9 straight years of harvesting a 6-12 point buck on state land, with pressure all around me. Hunting thick forest, no food plot, no private land, and it is no problem for me to harvest a mature buck every year. So no there is no excuse for someone to shoot a deer the size of my Boxer. 

I fought very hard keeping our Country safe as a Ranger, every mass casualty incident I have been in I always saved women and children first, I WILL NEVER encourage a fawn being killed. Take pride in what you harvest, not an adolescent with no chance. 

I look forward to the day NYS instates a 3 point minunum 

Toot toot your own horn much!

Back in the woods for pm sits. Trying to find a good evening location. I'm at a game trail higher on the ridge. Good clear shooting lanes.@chefhunter86 is across the property on the ridge line.

So we have a slight Coyote problem. I walk in today and see a larger very pretty yellow one. Too far for a shot. My friend sees it, takes a shot and is low. 5 minutes later another comes through, each the size of a Shepard. Now, 40 minutes in and a small one comes through out of range. Should've brought the rifle instead.

Yea sitting here on a bench that runs through the middle of the ridge looks like a good spot at worst I have great views of what's below me and can use this as a scouting sit

Had three in the small tower blind field on way in at 4. Deer noses amaze me! I see them and stop behind a tree none of the knew I was anywhere around. I just washed hunting clothes, took a scent free shower 10 min before heading out and sprayed cover scent. A slight wind shift and doe head snaps up they decide to mosey on outa the field.
The wind is really dying down got up in the far stand.

Dang. Don't think you can hunt them with a rifle/shotgun  during open bow season. .22 rimfire i believe is ok but that's a little under gunned . I may be wrong on this. Law was always difficult for me to understand.  Try lip squeaking them in, like a smooching / kissing sound. Fawn bleat too. Stick one of them bastids

Anyone else in the cuba friendship area see the apache helicopter flying around?

It just flew over RT70. They fly around here quite regularly.

Fawns as part of a sound management plan should be shot in some plan architectures. Seems like someone is a TDM fanboy.

Wind has pretty much died completely down now. Turning into a nice afternoon.

Small 6 pt walked by about 50 yds away in dense cover. Not that I would have taken/made the shot even without the foliage, still cool to see something. Would like a few does to walk by.  

[phade]

Still gusty here. Fun morning.

Sitting in 9A, a little breeze but it's dying down, I'm hoping they move with this new weather pattern moving in.  They were moving last night, 2 killed in front of my house by vehicle this morning.
