In a new public spot in an oak stand with about 8 Deer around me. I’ve never really had a hunt with more than one or two very skittish deer as I hunt all public land. Wanted to get a shot on camera and as I was about to release the battery died. Now there’s deer everywhere unsure how to proceed.

That tumor would not have helped with the PA chest girth, because the measurement has to be taken behind the front legs.  I am thankful that you whippersnappers are leaving some around for us crossbow guys.

I hunted this morning and saw nothing,  What a diffenerence a few hours makes!  I went this afternoon and only had 90 minutes of daylight but it was action packed!  

Walking in I had a deer 400 yards on opposite side of field from my stand.  I waited until it went into the woods and then boogied to my stand.  Got settled in and 15 minutes later I see a turkey, then I pick out the whole flock of 12-14 birds.  2 days too early! 

A few minutes later a deer walks out from the same place one had walked into earlier.  Maybe the same deer?  It looks like a doe, but I want to be sure so I glass it and its a spike with one 4” antler, and one 2” antler.  Hoping and praying that something else is following this deer because he is headed my way.  Comes to within 20 yards and sniffs around for a while, eats, sniffs at the licking branch and then finally hits where I had walked in earlier.  We have a few staring contests, but I don’t move an inch and he seemed fine.  He is cagey, but not freaked.  Stays around for another 10 minutes or so and then slowly walks off.  

Nothing seen for a half hour or so.  Finally pull my phone to check the time and it is 6:16. Sunset.  I wait a few minutes and start to get ready to descend.  Now I see 5 or 6 deer following the same path as the spike did.  They take their sweet time coming to me, but now I am stuck in the tree until they finally leave after about a half an hour.  

Now it is pretty dark, but I can still see and while I am climbing down a 4 or 6 point buck walks within 30 yards of my ladder.  I froze on the ladder.  He is staring ahead but not at me and I hear a snort, but not from him.  Finally he leaves, and I get on the ground and try to sneak away.  I slowly make my way to the bottom of the hill and I jump 3 or 4 more deer. 

I am in the right spot, but the deer are all running late for me!  Where were those doe 10 minutes earlier?

Long post, but that was one of the most exciting 90 minute deer hunts I have ever had!

Get back off that field deeper into the woods where they came in from. Ive found that when I hunted fields I saw a lot of deer, when I got away from them I killed a lot of deer

      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
