I don’t think they are acorns. They have no tops and there’s literally thousands of them and the deer never touch them each year. It’s like walking on marbles.

Poisonous oaks, deadly to 2.5+ yr old bucks if ingested...

Sometimes white oak acorns fall out of their caps while still attached to the tree, resulting in what it looks like in your picture...a bunch of capless acorns

Look at your picture, Biz...There are several tops lying there with the acorns.. Perhaps the deer in Putnam County are retarded...hehehe...

Definitely acorns. One is starting to sprout so it's definitely a white oak of some sort as red sprout in the spring. I had one variety or white oak acorn on my old Steuben county Hill top land that the deer wouldn't touch as well. I believe it was Chestnut oak which is in the white oak family. I bet that's what you have going on.

The tops are from a different but that look exactly like acorns. Those brown tubular ones are different and I also see them in yellow too.

Thanks that makes more sense. I’m reading deer typically won’t eat them, which is what happens every year with these. The regular smaller acorns get eaten by deer but not these long tube ones.

I had a close encounter with one of my target bucks yesterday morning. He's a 130+ 8 point. He came in quartering to me and stopped behind a tree to make a scrape. I drew in anticipation that he would follow the other 4 bucks that did the same and present a nice quartering away shot at 25 yards. Except he decided to turn away and only gave me an ass view as he wandered off. 

I hunted all day and saw plenty of deer, but he didn't come back. 

A buddy of mine shot a beautiful 130 class 10 point yesterday morning. Here’s a pic. DDD37C7D-4420-42A8-9E80-69BF271DE1F5.jpeg.e40a3a9b0562ca6f3846e431f60451d6.jpeg

I was driven out of the woods by rain yesterday (Tuesday). What a miserable day. And I am not just whining about some petty drizzle. It was flat-out pouring for most of the day. I know that deer move on rainy days, but they would have had to have been wearing some kind of floatation gear.

I made it for a couple of hours, but eventually got washed right out of the woods.

My buddy and I set ladder stands on our lease...good weather for that in season.

This guy was hanging at one of the trees we selected:

Home from work at 808, changed and in tree at 820. Feel like crap but I have to pick up my boy from preschool at 1130 so I can’t go to bed yet so I figured I’d sit in my tree for a couple hours. Can’t kill em from the couch right?bec25ff73e1d51fb319e25f108429d4a.jpg

what would you do if you do stick one? I always hesitate to hunt those small windows in case I do get lucky or worse, wound one.

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      A Hunter's Obligation to Know the Rules
      By JDN2K
      Just want to relay an experience I had this weekend regarding hunting regulations and other hunters.
      I've had several  hunter's tell me last weekend(10/12/2020) that muzzleloader was open, it is not. I also had two other hunters last weekend confront me as to why my son was carrying around a rifle and hunting deer. I calmly explained the youth weekend and the rules around it. After that everything was cool and we continued our hunt.
      I know at the end of the day we're all trying to participate in a sport we love and maybe harvest some game. My thought is to just make sure you're up on your local hunting regulations. Not just so you are within the rules, but also so you can assert your right to be where you are, hunting the way you're hunting.
      I know when I have been operating outside of the regulations I have appreciated a person respectfully correcting my ignorance and I try to pay it forward by being informed and respectfully educating when required.
      Thanks for listening, off my SB...

      Bolt Action with Pistol Grip
      By Alfredo
      Hello,
      I am in the process of purchasing my first rifle to go hunting deer for the first time.  However, I have received contradicting information regarding the types of rifles that are legal.  Based on what I have read, it appears that I am able to use a bolt-action rifle with a pistol grip and a detachable magazine which holds 10 rounds.  However, I have been told that this is not the case. I can't seem to find where this is stated.  Can any one here provide me with some insight into this? I'd really appreciate it.
      Thanks in Advanced,
      Alfredo
