Had a good morning sit. Not far from an active scrape that I hung a cam over yesterday. At first light the buck parade started. Several 1.5-2.5 yo bucks worked their way in and took turns at the scrape. A nice solid 3.5 yo 8 followed soon after. I had him at 35 yds but the decision was made to let him walk. Had I not known about his 2 big brothers in the area, he probably would've been in the back of my truck right now. It really felt good to let him walk. Shortly after he came out the rain started. If I'm going to track in the rain, it's going to have to be worth it. I'll be out again this afternoon on a different part of the property.

Yes it was! It seems to me that most of the bucks are still in bachelor groups. There was some light sparring amongst them today. 10-20 seconds tops. When I was scouting the fields 2 weeks ago, the biggest bucks were on their own and the younger bucks were still in groups. 

With that in mind, I'll be elsewhere were I have seen some giant rubs tonight. I may not see as much action, but I'm hoping that I can catch the big guy coming out by himself tonight.

So, to set this up... My son is 23 and lives and works an hour away, but often comes home on weekends. We typically do most of our hunting together, but he's been getting some big ole bucks on his trail cams, right behind his apartment, so decided to hunt more there. He's been hunting hard since season opened (rain, heat, wind didn't matter!). He's been getting frustrated by the lack of sightings and his trail cam pics have dropped off significantly in the past 2 weeks. I suggested that he pump the breaks a little, as to not get too frustrated or burned out, before the "fun" part starts. But, like father, like son it's easier said than done! :rolleyes:

He texted me this morning, in the rain, and I could tell he was really frustrated, but I tried to give him words of encouragement. Anyways, he texted me again ~10:30am and said that the woods just "exploded" with deer activity all around him! Two decent bucks (2 1/2 year olds) were chasing a couple does all around him, grunting, rubbing tree's, tearing up scrapes, and even bedded down for a while 30 yards from him! He sent me several pics of the bucks! He never shot, because he has his heart set on the bigger bucks that he has several pics of.

Anyways, I thought the parents might get a laugh out of the text that he sent me and how proud that it makes a parent feel knowing that this passion all started, because of them! I'm sure we can all relate too! :D

Just remember when you're frustrated, things can turn around at any minute!

My 1st bow kill tonight,25yrd shot and she ran about 50yrds.  She jumped so the shot wasn't perfect but the wound was massive so the trail was easy to follow,gave her a couple hours and there she lay,my 4yr old daughter is dying for jerky now,lol.

      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
