Town of Kent and Putnam Valley.

Had another 8 point yesterday morning by stand. Waiting for good shot. He winded my trail coming into stand and backed out. Also had 2 doe nearby but got downwind and winded me. Only stayed in woods till 10:30.

It's on I saw a few dead bucks on NYS thruway driving home yesterday. Also on the 10 th I sprayed some buck bomb doe estrous couple of times around my tree stand and at 1600 hrs I shot a spray into the air and was mentally drifting into space when a 6 pt came running literally to the base of my stand. Boy did he stink! I passed him up but he circled me for like 5 minutes and then very confused he walked away. Have used buck bomb before with no results at all. But this time it worked.

In 4P last Saturday I actually saw a 10 pt mount a doe. the first 15 seconds I was watching going I can't believe I am seeing this. the next 30 I felt like a perv. Yesterday I was in my stand scoping and saw the 10 and nice 8 about 10 minutes apart walking the same trail. I grunted and used antlers and they neve stopped or raise their heads. they kept walking fast in the same direction. 

On my camera from Thursday night and Friday morning I have a 5 and spike either fighting or playing can't tell and no one ran away. I love those video cameras.

I can't get back soon enough. can't wait till Friday and then Saturday morning opening day.

Now I have 2 neighbors putting tree stands right next to my property lines. But I can't complain I just my 10 point from last year on the wall this weekend ;)

In my woods in 8F I haven't seen any chasing yet in person. My cameras have picked up a few night time chases by little bucks. Saturday night I had four does with four fawns come by me. There was no buck with them. A little half rack came in and harassed them but didn't chase them.

They are still moving but not like this past Friday. Had a 6 point slip by me at 70 yards around 3 pm. Everything seems to be going around me last couple of days. Got a pic of the buck I saw early Friday morning following a doe. Pic taken about 30 minutes before I got to my stand. Also pics I believe of the 6 point I saw today.

They have been on lockdown with that full moon, I think it's going to work out in our favor come opening day, kind of like it did back in 97.

Hope your correct. 1997 was the year I took my biggest buck a 12 point.

Didn't see much activity this weekend Wound up taking a doe on Saturday night with the compound. At least I have some meat in the freezer. Like was said above I think this super moon messed them up. Hoping this weekend it's in full swing. I think also with the increased pressure in the woods you are going to see a lot of movement. Where I hunt not to many bow hunters around. Come the gun opener the amount of people in the woods I think will increase 10 fold and they will be pushed all over the place.
