No hunting tonight as the weather was pretty nasty, but I did get out real quick to make a 2nd horizontal rub from a pine branch. This one went up quickly as I used 2 trees vs having to bury a post.This is right next to an annual scrape and licking tree. The scrape just got opened up too!  It's finally on boyz!!

I was jonesing something terrible to hunt today! I just kept staring out the office window fantasizing about what I could be missing! I shot out of work at 3:30, raced to my hunting spot, parked, threw my camo on, reached for my boots, then realized I took my %^&$#@! boots out of the truck last night, not thinking I would be able to hunt today!! F!!!! Drove home and decided to drown my frustrations... Oh well! I'll be out tomorrow morning WITH my boots!!!

Vacation starts kicking in tomorrow! In the next 7 weeks, I only have to work 12 days!! WOO-HOO!!! :danced:

About 10yrs ago I shot a doe with fawns on oct 15, heard her crash waited an hr went looking for her and she had 2 fawns trying to nurse while she layed there dead. I had to chSe the fawns away to gut her, after that it’s just something I don’t want to do. I ask won’t shoot a doe with a fawn because I don’t like seeing the fawns walk around aimlessly for the rest of the season. I’m sure they survive fine but I don’t need meat bad enough to shoot a doe with a fawn.

I also will not shoot a doe with fawn due to a friend having done it in the past and seeing the fawns not wanting to leave their dead mother, there are plenty of does around here to choose from so no reason to.  Just a personal choice.

Climbed into the stand well before first light and noticed a white "blob" 10 yards in front and to the right of my stand. I didn't think anything of it, assuming one of those puffball mushrooms must have popped up there. I got all settled in to the stand, heard some rustling in the leaves, looked up and noticed the while blob was now 10 yards to the left of my stand.... WTF.? Turned on the flashlight to see a mostly white skunk wandering around 10 yards from me! Thankfully, it didn't see the need to leave me with any "cover scent"!!

      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.

      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.

      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...

      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
