How does that saying go? The best laid plans of mice and men.....

I got out to the stand exactly when I wanted. Climbed up and was hooking up my safety harness when I catch antlers move a couple hundred yards away. I turn to quickly but quietly turn to get the bow up and here come 2 doe running in the opposite direction. I get the bow up the does are gone the buck is gone and here I sit feeling totally dejected.

Oh well 2.5 more hours to go.

I'm fessing up! No unseen twig that deflected my arrow, NO using the wrong pin, NO ducking the arrow, NO jumping the string, NO mis-judging distance! Just plain 'ole Buck Fever I guess, after 40 years of hunting!!!  :D  It took me 44 hunts to lay eyes on him, I FINALLY get the opportunity, and I CHOKE!!!!!! :pardon:

May our paths cross again some day..... you lucky SOB!!!

CabinFever, I'm right there with you and the Buck Fever, before I got my shot off at my buck Friday morning, it took me 3 tries to get my bow pulled back...thought I wasn't going to even get it back in time for a shot! But I love that, after 35 yrs I still get that adrenaline rush...LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR! You'll get another chance...Good Luck!

Cabin it happens I choked on a nice one Friday.
Nothin worse than dropping your food outa stand, or hat, or gloves. Especially a climber.

I forgot my gloves tonight but it’s not that bad out. All the snow melted and it’s quiet. The boy is down in the tower probably got the heat cranking lol. Magic hour coming.

I said today, if my bow could talk, it would have said, "WTF was that??" LOL It was all me! He should have just stuck to my plan though!

So messed up I posted this under bone head moves. I guess it belongs there too.

Ugggggg. Just shot under the wide white horned 8. Idk what I did. Figured 35 yds... he was 37. Shot right under him. I was shaking like crazy. I think plane old buck fever got to me. Idk if I used the wrong reticle in the excitement or what. I am thinking now peaked also. Basically probably did everything wrong....ugggggg

Close but no luck. Saw three deer across the cut bean field about 250 yards away so I let out a few grunts. No response. Quit paying attention to them for five minutes and when I slowly turn to check on them, there’s a big buck heading straight towards my stand. As luck would have it, he stops about 70 yards out and is trying to see where the challenger is. This lasts several minutes before he turns 90 degrees and wanders into the swamp. Very exciting and definitely gets the blood flowing.

Big doe came out of a thicket all by herself. I would have put money on her having a buck in tow. She was nervous and jerky but not looking behind her. As I was watching her I didn't see a different doe come in from a different direction with two fawns. That one caught me sitting back down. Now all of them are gone.

      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
