Back to car. Things to do. Pulled cam card. Thought I saw 8 but looking like 7 now. Happened fast Sorta big body on him. What’s the giant mass in front ? Maybe should have zipped him. I don’t know lol dabcbcbf35a4b06e4fba4d2637a84009.png1af98fd4922bd58bab724942272903d3.png

Given the location of the mass it could also be possible that he impaled himself on stick (while running) which broke off inside him and became encased in scar tissue. Doesn't happen very often, but I have seen it before.

That's a really hard pass with your first bow buck. If I were you, I would have zipped an arrow through him. With bowhunting, I think getting a few kills under your belt becomes important for shot mechanics and "going through the shot process." I've seen people hold out and have issues connecting because the pressure builds up due to the few instances to let an arrow loose.

Good for you sticking to your goals, but I'd have shot. Then shot again. And again, if I were you.

X2 tf, I usually like to target doe early bow season as it gives you some live shots situations that you can learn from and can build confidence when the buck does come by.

I went out to just sit and watch the woods wake up. Forgot the camera, even.

Lots of squirrels, a couple of bunnies, a "possum who looked like he had something stuck in his mouth. Might have been the taste of 'possum. A few does came through just browsing, and then a small buck who looked like he didn't know what to do next. The little guy just stood there looking confused. I finally laughed out loud and he snorted and walked off. Fun morning. :pleasantry:

If nothing else TF I hope you are still practice shooting your bow every now and again...stay frosty.

Although I would say you are impervious to "buck fever."  Where do I get my vaccine?

yeah I'd say the same. any deer, buck or doe is a feat and trophy with the stick and string.

headed out in 30 minutes.  Gonna hunt a stand ive only been in once in last 2 years.  A short 9 ft but tucked in, and opened up some extra shooting lanes across from it.  Wind is actually weird there as right in front of it not the best but i am expecting deer to be more on each side where there is a trail.  Start it off tonite and then have the next three days off.  Weekend looks like crap

Didn't even notice that.  That deer has taken a beating and is still going.

So far, that buck hasn't lost his head over a little piece of tail.......

I did hunt this morning, but never took my phone out of my pocket.  Not a single deer seen on a beautiful morning!  Stayed in the tree stand until 9:30 and then moved to a ground blind, mostly just to see how I liked the location.  I didn't.  Sat in it for 15 minutes and decided to move it 30 yards down the plot where I can actually see something coming my way.  Brushed it in good again and I have a lot more confidence in the spot now.   I will let it sit for a few days before I use it.  Next chance for a hunt is this weekend.

TF - I will add to the calls of "I would have shot that deer!" - but like you, I am glad to be out there and carrying a bow for the first time.  Your deer (and hopefully mine) will come soon enough.  I am hoping for a doe for my first one, but if a buck is in front of me then that will work too! 

Good luck to you all out there.

      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
