This is powerful stuff. I just poured a cup and was going to send a similar pic. Never got a chance though cause a doe trotted by at 80yds. Straight into the corn without giving me a shot.

I did have a doe run by before the cup was finished. To much stuff in between her and me to even bother trying to get her to stop.

Eventful AM no harvests.

Scaled a couple hundred feet before I saw the headlight from an atv on the adjacent property...it got stuck and was spinning tires about 75 yards from the stand I was heading to...

I went back down to the base of the face.

Saw a dandy buck at 7:05 at about 80 yards (I have iron sighted deerslayer 2).

He was doing a tiny circle when I got my sights on him squarely I wasn't sure if I was on shoulder or ass so I balked.

He took a step out of the clear lane and raised his massive head back up...I was on the shoulder DOH!

I see what he is circling...a bedded doe...I decided to take the switchback up to them.

Halfway up there a rifle just off the property cracks and I hear 5 minutes of hooting and hollerin in celebration.

This made me think I bumped them to the shooter so I lost my edge...10 yards later I bumped them inside 20 no shots bye bye

Ugh

Did cut about 10 sets of fresh tracks and eventually sat in the stand I intended for first light but blahhhh

I passed a 3pt (maybe 4pt). Only deer seen so far.

Btw, I saw 0 deer dead or alive on 380 mile drive yesterday

So the buck I passed was a 4pt and it’s dead! I heard a shot about 15 min later and SodFather killed it. I followed the buck tracks right to the dead body.

Is it just me or does anyone else hear the first gun shots on opening morning and automatically assume that the monster that eluded you during archery season was just killed?

If you could have heard the hooting and hollering a dude just adjacent to my property this am...pretty sure he dropped a giant

Saw 6 deer this morning and two BIG bucks.  But all at 300 yards across a pond. Saw a big body boy go thru nose to the ground.  Then 1/2 layer see nothing but horns over top of some brush in same spot running.  Then a buck following a doe, then two more does.  

Can't take it anymore so I get down a d sneak the pond edge and sat there.  And nothing.......

But def two biggies in there. Be back out tomorrow morn. Deer processing today from Thursdays buck.  

My buddies son is going back out and showed him where I saw deer so hope he gets into on. I'm on standby for retrieval help for him!  

Congrats to some nice deer taken today. @Cabin Fever

Very quiet AM hunt in 7J. 3 of us sat until 11:15, no sightings. Heard a few shots before sunrise, and then only a few after that. Normally it’s like the 4th of July. Saw tons of tracks in the snow from yesterday (including a lot of coyote). Will be back out this afternoon

      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
