During this mornings T-Storm I saw 2 decent eights size each other from the house.  Checked cams midday and they showed a lot of bucks working scrapes. This afternoons sit showed me 2 does, 2 fawns and a small buck harassing them.  I'm starting to get excited!

I've hunted 8 times this year on three different public grounds and this is the 5th time I've had a hunt pretty much ruined. I hiked in 800 yards to my setup and there was a stand 10 feet from where I was going to go. I try to decide what to do and as I look around I see a guy walking towards me. Turns out to be an Encon guy saying that someone had set up and illegal shooting range 100 yards away and had been rapid firing 308's all day - GREAT.

The last time I hunted I hiked in 400 yards in to public land and heard a bunch of commotion. I figured someone was dragging a deer out so I went to check it out. When I got there there was a line of at least THIRTY PEOPLE walking through the marsh shouting and stumbling and tripping on saplings and dead falls. I walk up to ask what they are doing and they just stare at me.
Finally one stammers "It's a wetlands plant ID class."
I said 'oh yeah, what's that plant?' And pointed to some brush growing in the water.
"I'm not sure." He says.
I wished them good luck and stormed out of the woods.

Sounds just like pine bush to me. If you go to the main building you can find out what classes are going on and where they intend to be set a few hours before then let them push some deer around.  Trust me it works!!

If you can't get  to your scale, but want to get an approximation of field dressed weight, measure her chest girth just behind the front legs.  If it is 38", that would equal a fresh dressed weight of 126 pounds, a live weight of 157 pounds, and 71 pounds of edible meat.  37" would be 115 pounds field dressed and 66 pounds of edible meat.   The full chart is available on the pgc.pa website.   I like chest girth measurements better than fresh weight, because when you place a fresh killed deer on a scale, most of that weight is made up of water.   Water has no nutritional value.  "Volume" is the important measurement - How many pint, quart or gallon-sized freezer bags will the deer yield ?  Chest girth works better than weight for estimating volume because it is less dependent on how dried out the carcass is.

Finally was able to get out after three days of rain. Grabbed the climber this afternoon and sat on a travel route but nothing was traveling. When the wind blew the leaves fell like snow and a ton of leaves are on the ground. Any scrapes you find now will be fresh ones.:imsohappy: Looks like Sunday will be the day to be out...suppose to have high winds and some rain here tomorrow. Congrats to those that scored. My view today:

      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
