Spent the afternoon in Partridge Run. Beautiful spot. No deer seen. Pretty sure one was walking up behind me, made me out (or scented me), and I could hear the hoof hitting the ground after leaps.

That spot will be better from the ground, a different wind, and tucked closer to the marsh edge. I also think it’ll be better when the roamers need to look into other areas to find a willing doe.

Success for my buddy tonight. He didn't get into his stand until 4 but it all came together for him. Passed a slightly smaller buck ten minutes before this one came through in an awesome funnel. He was really questioning passing the one he did when this one came in.

For the record on the age in the hood debate.

Here’s my list of what most hunters can discern.

Fawn
1.5
2.5
3.5 and up

At 3.5 and up it’s a guess unless he has a gray head.

I’m so glad I’m not most hunters as I am clearly able to discern small, medium and large deer!!!!

The weatherman was calling for snow overnight and a winter weather advisory! I had a hard time sleeping last night fantasizing about the rutting bucks out frolicking in the snow today! I got up 30 min before the alarm went off, opened the front door and looked out into the..... POURING RAIN?!?!? WTF!!!

Decided to go to work today, to save the vacation day for another time....

Pouring in 3s as I pack for Williamsburg, Va and the Nyak 7th grade field trip- be back Friday in time for gun opener(probably still hunt bow) but feeling like I am leaving some creatures who want to die this week. Looking forward to the BBD calls and money...uhhh...hero...shots!

I was out again yesterday afternoon watched 2 small does feeding when a small buck showed up and they took off running with their tails up! I think he's been harassing them all day and they had enough?  I saw a buck I've had on camera for 3 years in a row, He is only a 6 pt but he is the biggest body I've seen on camera. I'm not one to target specific bucks but I definitely have a list of shooters and he is on that list! I'll look through my pics and see if I can find the older pics and post them.

Got up to a heavy rain snow mix so chickened out and got in the tower all nice and dry. Original plan was to be 400 yards north where they were all running around last night. Of course the predicted 3 hour rain stopped already lol

8A.. In stand by 6, sweating and trying to catch my breath while strapping in. Not even seated yet and I hear movement all around me. I saw a big body move into the corn at 30 yds. A buck was running all around in front of me. I've never heard so much grunting. As it started getting gray i was so excited I was shaking. It was like that scene from Jurassic Park where you can see the trees move but can't see the dino. In front of me I could see the stalks moving as he ran back and forth grunting.  As it got closer to 7 i could hear him getting further and further away. Haven't seen anything but squirrels since.  That's the most excitement I've had so far this season. Good luck to everyone out today!

      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
