Any one try any rattling yet ? I've never rattled a deer in but thought about trying some light tapping today.

Rattled a buck off his bed in the golden rod couple days ago. He stood up looked my way with curiosity and turned tail and slowly took off and a doe went off with him. Pretty sure he’s patterned me and knew better but did peak his interest. He was off 150 yards or so

What a beautiful morning on the tug hill 27 degrees and barely a breeze. I can't believe nothing was moving didn't even see any crossing the roads on the way here. Time to go home and get some sleep got to work again tonight. Back out tomorrow morning as long as it's not pouring. Good luck to all those hunting today.

Good luck today. Rainy weekend ahead...

As to rattling - I have rattled in a few in NY, and killed a couple with rattling and decoy. That said going to Ohio, rattling is much more effective in my experience. The higher age structure lends itself to better response rate. Almost every bowhunter also has a decoy in the back of their truck. One of my hunting partners and I were hunting a farm that had a couple others on it...I found a bed and set up on it. Watched one of the other hunters walk in about 200-250 yards away from me (unknowingly) one hour before dark wearing a white tee-shirt. Set up his decoy, tossed on his long-sleeve camo shirt and in his stand with about 30-40 minutes left. Buck stood up, he couldn't see that deer, but happened to rattle and he reeled that buck in and shot him in about 10 minutes of stand time. Definite "tip the hat" moment, lol. Nice 125" 8.

Yes but you better be ready to shoot because sometimes they'll come in quick.. 90% of the time it's a young deer like a basket or fork but have your binocs ready too because in my experience more mature deer will circle you and start hitting scrapes, rubs, etc. in the area.. Rattled in a couple forks this year so far

You're a better man than me if you can keep those around for more than a day.  Reese's Peanut Butter Cups don't last 3 nanoseconds around me. :danced:

Anyone know this guy from Long Island? He seems to shoot 2 giants every year.

My spot today has a thick wall of over growth on one side and the corner of a field on the other side . i should have time in this spot.

Quiet morning sit but when I moved to a different stand at 9:15 I practically got run over by a spike running thru the woods! Came through the hedgerow and boy, did his eyes get big when he saw me at about 6 feet! I climb into my stand and not five minutes later my little four pointer comes by and freshens a scrape at 30 yards. Fun to see but where’s the big boys?

Seemed like it should have been a great morning for deer activity, especially with the rain coming. Only a lone fawn all morning. Think I'll tap out at 11:00....

      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
