I decided to go sit in my ladder stand for about an hour and just relax , I put an arrow in and let it rest . About half an hour later I hear rustling to my left and its a small Doe . Well I've never shot anything with a bow so I decided to let one fly . Below is the results .... hunting 40 plus years and this is my first bow kill ! And this is in 4H where its tough as hell to get a DMP ! Congratulations!!! Nothing like doing it the first time! Um...you know, with the bow. Great shot too. Way to get it done. Especially in 4-H! If I want a doe this year it will have to come with the bow, as I did not draw a 4-H DMP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tughill Tamer Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Congratulations Greenehunter and nice shot, I to have been hunting along time with a gun but got my first Bowkill this year. I didn't have that great of a shot though. I didn't see nothing tonight but by nephew who was sitting my swamp stand harvested a nice doe so all and all a great night.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adkhunter1590 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Surprised there wasn't a bunch of bucks dropped on here today. I didn't see nearly as many deer as I figured I would on my drive home from work this morning. Everything was frosty but the fields were empty. I didn't make it out today. Wanted to, but I'm coming down with some kinda nasty chest cold or something. Figured I needed the sleep today. Woke up feeling even worse, back at work now on the edge of ODing on cold and flu meds from CVS. Headed for the doctor in the AM after work to get some strong meds. Need this gone by next Friday when I leave for Nebraska. Good luck to everyone going out tomorrow morning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) I'm holding out for this corn cutting...That should have all the buck moving...wonder if the cutting a few roads over will push those this way?

fasteddie Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Sitting out today & tomorrow and going leaf peeping. Spotted 2 doe and a fawn at 718. They milled around in the bean field for a few minutes and moved on .Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuke Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 No hunting for me this am. My 5 year old asked to go out this afternoon so her and I will be spend the last couple hours of daylight eating snacks in her ladder stand... I love the time with her. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas0218 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Managed a short sit from 4pm to sunset. Spooked one coming out. I decided to pull and replace one of the cameras I had over a scrap, only a 2 day soak so I wasn't expecting much. Had 4 doe around the hours of 10PM, 1AM, and 4AM. Still only moving around during the night. Pretty disappointing, thinking I'm going to wait another week before I get back into woods and the temps drop. I plan on moving a stand so I'll just do some property maintenance in the meantime. I'll just have to live vicariously through all your posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in beaver dams, Chemung County. Planning on getting my trapping license this coming spring maybe I can put a hurting on the population in my area there are a bunch. I would love to have someone come and trap and a lot of people in the area would too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachunter Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Found a pretty good area this morning little swap and creek leading to a bigger swap. There is an old trail crossing the creek. Saw some deer tracks and rasin piles. Got to warm so I left heading back there tomorrow. Going to hunt local this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Field_Ager Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Weight lifting and back exercises today. Gonna take it easy until the weather changes or cameras give some indication of daytime movement . I might do 1 hour over one of the new scrapes this evening. The stand is close to the house. I never use it in favor of others but there is an annual scrape by it and last year I got some nice pics over it.

chas0218 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I think if any of you guys are going to hunt the AM is going to be better than the PM. At least that is what my cams are telling me, they are moving more closer to dawn than dusk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
