What is planted in your food plot? Looks nice and green. My brassica are being ignored this year. I heard they may not know it’s food the first year.

I once grew the most beautiful patch of purple turnips and it snowed all gun season...one broke off buck was all I ever scored in it (2014):IMG_6261.PNG.fe87153a33313d00928d775ae314affc.PNG

There were clovers and snow peas in there and it was still practically untouched...never heard the "didn't know it was food" theory but I buy it

yep - some properties require a few years for the deer to adjust, other get hit right away.  When they hit those radish and turnip, they are a preferred source come late season.  We had one brassica plot where you were guaranteed to see a buck at last light last year and my buddy killed a big 135'" there last day of gun.

My previous experience with foodplots were just some decent sized "kill plots" 

Next season I am planning on using the 5 acre field at the base of my lease with some different more nutritional options...im planning on keeping this lease a long time so I'll be more patient ha!

Well just took tomorrow off to give it one more go with the crossbow. Looks like it should be a good day. Cold, light wind and hopefully the deer will be moving with the snow rolling in tomorrow night.

I’ll be out in the afternoon  tomorrow for my last sit as well, being retired I could have hunted all week, ( all season ? ) but don’t have the drive anymore .

Done with the cold , wet, mud and small bucks and does .

The wind will be great for the stand I’m using ,which has high movement most afternoons .

Good luck

Congrats cabin on a nice buck! Rut-Cation morning 4 produced 1 spike on a cold 3 hr watch, but when my son had stopped by to pick me up on the way out we we're standing there talking quietly all of a sudden three doe come over the hill full bore and almost run us over. It was wild. All In all it was a good morning quality time with my son doing what we love to do and we both seen deer. Can't Complain. Back in around 130 for the afternoon.

Thanks, you too, hoping for another crack at the wide white horned 8. Trying to decide if I should sit the same stand or a tripod we have about 150 yds away. I'll be shocked if he comes by that same stand again.

Yeah. I set out with the goal of topping my best bow buck this season, but screwed that up a few days ago with my "epic choke"! :pardon:  Oh well, this is my best 6pt anyways! LOL

I choked epically on Sunday with what would have been far and away my biggest archery buck and maybe my biggest buck. I am hoping for that kind of redemption tomorrow with my crossbow. Beautiful Deer! Congrats!

Not sure...I get that, ha.

If the answer is 1 it's not really a question of fearing death but of your children facing life without their father.

I love the hunting you are doing but there are things you can do to try and help preserve your life despite hunting in remote (New York) locations.

A healthy fear of death is nothing to be ashamed of!

Well back at the scene of Friday’s choke

Serious lack of tracks in the snow. Like none. Hope that means they are due to move in the next hour plus half!!

I wanna be successful like the big hawk I pushed off this pheasant!!

Forgive me hunters for I have sinned.

This afternoon on my way to hunt I needed an energy boost after a long day at the office. I grabbed an apple and ate it on the hike in.

I left the core on my approach trail and now in the stand I question the ethics of my decision and my own morals and virtues that I live by.

Please forgive me and accept this confession.

Hopefully it’ll help with your deer sightings ^_^  Being so limited and all 

Lol, as long as I’ve been hunting I’ve never had a bloodtrail in the snow. Pretty much any good doe or decent buck will drop if in range.

      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
