3N: Buck down! I told my Dad last night to try sitting in my Blind where I killed my xbow buck last year. Below is the text exchanges. I assume he saw the resident 3pt I kept seeing but now he’s broken 1 side. Then later he shot a big 4 or 5pt. I’m betting it’s a 5pt I’ve had pics of all summer and fall. This is his first xbow deer. Probably won’t have pics till later since he only had flip phone. Unfortunately, I’m at work so can’t help my dad and he’s got a big haul ahead of himself. My blind is just over 1/2 mile downhill from car so he’s got that same 1/2 mile all uphill. Anyway, I’m pumped for him!

I’ll get better pics when I see my Dad tomorrow, but here’s 1 he sent me from his flip phone. Big 4pt from same Blind I shot my big 4pt last year. Both Excalibur xbow kills.

I'm living vicariously through you guys until I'm off work on Saturday!

I have a 90 minute one way commute to work down the southern tier X-way, and then up past Ithaca. I saw more bucks on the way in this morning in the frosty fields than I have all year.

Loners, with does, running in front of the car, standing beside the shoulder of the road, including an absolute giant of a buck just north of Ithaca.

They're moving!!

Good luck to everybody today, hope to see lots of deer in the harvest thread.

Beautiful morning in 9f...only saw a red fox so far...need some deer movement.

At work now, saw a small spike on a trotting mission at 8:20.  Glad to be seeing deer.

Haven't been mentioning this due to fear of jinxing myself, but last year I had a pic of a BIG buck, bever saw him, but he was shearing saplings right off from rubbing.  Well I saw him last friday from the stand, was at full draw waiting for another step or two.  I saw him last night too, but this time about 40 yards behind me.  Keeping fingers crossed.

So finally talked to my Dad. Got full story. After he passed the bow broken 3pt. This 4pt came up over the hill 25 yds away. He stopped him and put one right thru the base of the neck and the buck dropped in his tracks. I have zero pics of this buck. Pretty rare for us to see a buck that we don’t have pics of all summer/fall so that’s cool. Looks like back to back years of 2.5 y/o 4pts for me and my dad from my same Blind.

Congrats to your dad, Biz!

the best part of this time of year is that the bucks "range" expands significantly and you never know what is going to show up!!!

Had to slam on my breaks in the town of webster this morning. My release and headlamp resting on the center console went flying. I think I came within feet of hitting the doe who ran out. Wouldn’t have been good for the new truck.

In Sullivan county, they wait for me to drive by then attack, in the middle of the day!

[Bolt action]

Nothing moving in 8a.. nose hasn't stopped running since I got here.

[Bionic]

ANTLERS,

Glad im not the only one.  I drive Oakland Valley, and Forestburgh road daily, at 6am, and 4pm, and its all or nothing it seems with deer running.  I actually laughed at that pic because its so typical, and to the point you even got a perfect pic haha.

[BigVal]

What a day to work 7-7

[greg54]

Nothing yet here in 9a, real quiet

[Al Bundy]

Squirrels and chipmunks this morning. Cold, bright, and quiet. Not a deer to be heard or seen. No sign of rut to speak of yet.   One new scrape last night is all.

I took that pic on Sunday, I have property in Lake Huntington, they were all over the place, rain didn't slow them down.

Wife called me. There's four bucks in our backyard. Two whopper's two smaller. I'm guessing there's a hot doe close by. I'll be back out this afternoon hoping they haven't gone too far

[E J]

Another

[Fletch]

Ha that second one nice!! Where are you man?? If it is work you just got a screaming head ache, flu, cough, chills whatever man....lol

[brownclown]

i agree with fletch. there is no way i could be at work if i had those in my back yard.

[Fletch]

Or teach your wife to shoot!! If they are all horned up she could most likely sneak right out there and stab one lol.

Self employment is a bitch if you want to do it right and get your stuff done when it needs to be done!

Since they were showing signs of rut yesterday , and with the temps I had high hopes for this morning ....Wrong . Weirdest season in 30 years on this spot .

Washing hunting clothes, and car, getting boat ready for storage , and starting a night trick , be back at it Sat , heck I might even bring a doe tag .

Heading out in a bit, had to stay and and supervise this idiot of a contractor who was touching up work at my hunting camp.... if I showed you guys the tile work you would crap yourselves.... I may have to sue him
