Thanks Moog. I owe the you a lot for your advice getting started. I wouldn't have been able to seal the deal without your help. Just need to learn how you grow bigger bucks than what I see around me. Thanks for all your help. Much appreciated. Doing it from the ground was a big thrill, though I know that isn't your cup of tea. Heart is still racing 4 hours later.

Big kudos.   It’s a lot of work to be one proficient.   Ground makes it all the better.   Don’t tell Biz!

I would sit right on that spot all day. I have seen that happen 3 times and it was like a parade all day long. The same smell that brought both of those bucks by you on her trail is still there. any other buck that crosses her path is going to hop on those train tracks and end up right where that 8 pointer was. 

Ya, I had actually packed in a lunch with me because I had already planned all day sits here today and tomorrow. So far no others have showed up, but we'll see!

I met Moog. He's nothing but a thief. Don't let him get too close to you or stuff ends up missing..... And he litters. I witnessed him throw lead in the woods. Unreal. You people think he's sooooo great. I know the real Moog !

Looks like lake effect Fri-Mon (heaviest on Sat), with the possibility for a nor’easter type storm mid next week. Lots of model spread though, so it could be all rain, or 6-12” of snow for CNY/CapitalRegion/Dacks. We will wait and see, but generally looks like a cold airmass for a while starting this Saturday.

4 hours in stand this morn not a thing.  A stand that for last two years has been one of my best. Last 3 sits not a deer. 

Off to same area and different stand though, putting boat in storage first.  Good thing it was a good fishing year so I have some eyes in the freezer. 

The past few days have been bad. I have not seen a deer since Friday! 13 hours in stand......

Taking a break from walking around up on the mtn in 4L. Missed the morning hunt; wife’s got a cold, so I’m helping her get the boy up and ready. The boy
was a ton of fun this morning, so that time flew.

Woods still not showing any sign of opening up. No scrapes,
No fresh rubs. The leaves on the doe travel routes are laying flat, nothing’s kicked up, and no hoof depressions.

This oak flat on top of this ridge is dead. No beds, no sign of browsing.

The freshest sign seems to be in the pines, along the creek, but this west wind makes it tough to hunt that.

Got to think of a place to set up soon, but it’s real fine sitting here...

Sat for a couple hours this morning in 8F.  Had a doe come in behind me at 20 yards, but couldn't get an open lane on it.  Five minutes later a nice 6 point came in following her... five minutes after that a 4 pt was on the same trail.  Couldn't get a shot at any.  

About an hour later the caravan came through 30 yards in front of me.  The 6pt was 10 yards in back of the doe.  Let her walk through and took a shot at him.  But I hit a branch and it shattered my arrow into 3 pieces.  All deer bolted... end of hunt.  It was good to see some action though!

What a wonky year. I have close to 30 hours logged in stands with no deer sightings. Cameras have all about dried up. I know there are some big ones walking around though, even without the pix... This track came from last weekend.. here's to hoping!

 

Edit: sorry for interrupting the bromance.

      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
