Sit tight...I certainly wouldn’t mess up a deer hunt for a bird.

If there's turkey around deer will feel 'really' safe   Turkeys have some of the best eyes/ears on any critter and sure deer know this

That a yellow bait pile I see? Hunting outside of the state of course?

I use the I Hunt by Ruger app for situations like that.  If you go to the hunting calls and "Turkey assembly call", I've literally called in fall turkey every season.  Such a useful tool

FYI  Don't believe you can use electronic calls to call turkeys if you're hunting them. Just a friendly heads up

Just back from Adirondack Hunting Camp. Had a blast as always. No deer as always. Deer are moving and hitting scrapes in daylight hours now tho back home.

What TF said......Using electronic calls has always been illegal in NY in the spring...MANY years ago it was legal in the fall, but has been illegal for at least 3o years...

I’ve always had a rule with bow hunting. Always be in the stand on Halloween but this rain is going to break that rule.

Well here we go. My first shot at a ADK buck and I rushed the shot. Nice 8 point I watched at about 4:30 cut about 80 yards behind my food plot. He disappeared for 10 minutes in a thicket, when he came out i shot. I should have taken an extra second but was excited, there was a slight rain as I shot and after so blood will be hard to track. Took a look around till dark spotting light blood at the point of the shot. Tomorrow will be a long day, wish me luck.

Good call backing out but you should find him in am

Rifle. Northern tier

[Fletch]

Any reason why your waiting till morning? Bad blood? Not sure of shot?

He’s dead, unless you missed very high or very low and just grazed him he’s dead

tough call, risk rain washing away any blood trail or risk jumping him....I'm sure you know the right choice being you made the shot.

First time I've used the rifle hunting. Probley just thinking about it too much because of that. I have access to surrounding land just needed to call my neighbor who is a hunter first. I didn't want to impede and he said go for it he is out of town. If he is dead I'll fine him but i didn't want to jump him. Thanks everyone

Have always said.....if he is dead now he will be dead in the morning too. It's certainly cool enough overnight to wait.  Best of luck. Looking forward to hero pics in the morning. 

[Fletch]

I'm just geared different cause if I leave a deer overnight the yotes will get it 90% of the time. I was just wondering if you started the trail and didn't like what you saw, or the deer did not react well.... that's all. It's plenty cold enough. Good luck in the am!

It sure seems that we never had to worry about that 5 years ago.  But yeah nowadays is a different story.  One spot i hunt I get more yotes on camera than deer.

My suggestion, go get him tonight if you can. With the rains tonight the blood will be all but gone. Gun shots kill different than bows shots 9 out of 10 if he's going to die he's already dead.
