Good job today boys and girls. I was just thinking has anyone seen or taken any bears this year? Seems pretty slow I terms of Bears this year! I was hoping the bear that has been frequenting my property would show up. Not to even harvest him I just want to watch him. Beats watching chipmunks.

Seems to me that while the bucks were winning in bow, the game is real close now.  Lots of good ones taken since opener.  

You aint kidding there.  I was very thankful to be able to settle the score Saturday with the one that beat me during archery season.  He may have evaded my crossbow but Titus was no match for a couple of 12 gauge slugs.

Well just got a call from the guy ive been taking this year. Not good for his gun.  He dropped it going in opening day. Well just slipped into snow. Told him that wont hurt it recoil is worse then slipping into soft snow.  Well he just told me he dropped it 3 times that day.  Once when i was there, once on a stone wall then bounced it off his door jam in his truck when he got home saturday.  And now the scope is cracked.  So i told him to go shoot it or if not he needs to use my single shot.  Trying to build him back up but hes pretty down on himself.

Congratulations to everyone that got a deer today (grampy, Jerry's daughter and Team Hoyt; hope I didn't miss anyone), and commendations to everyone that sat out in the snow today. I'm waiting until Friday to go back out in 9A. Today I skinned and quartered my deer from Saturday that I had hanging. Tomorrow, I will spend all day deboning, trimming, and maybe grinding if I have time.

The hanging weather is perfect right now with the temperature holding a steady 41 degrees since Saturday inside our insulated garage.  The long range forecast looks good also.  I skinned a doe fawn that my buddy up the road gave me yesterday and I will process her in a few minutes (6 month deer need no aging to break down rigor-mortis).  I am going to leave the 2-1/2 year old buck that he gave me, and my own 3-1/2, hang there until next week before I process them.

I've been tripping all over bears this year. Could have taken one with bow x 3, crossbow, and opening day of rifle.  Just not into eating one.

I too am happy for all the success today - looks like CynthiaFU and I did something very wrong. I didn’t see squat either

I sat all day in 7M on my old stomping grounds. Finally I saw a couple decent bucks. They were strictly on a feed mode, eating a mix of apples and brier leaves. Does were in the same area and they didn't even go near them. I didn't see a deer until 9:30, and then I saw 11 from then until 1:00 with 3 of them being bucks. Then it died off until a little after 3:00. From then until quitting time I saw I saw 8 with two bucks being repeats from earlier, and probably the others were repeats as well.  Darn near perfect day for sitting with mild temps and wind. I heard a few shots as I was walking out, and they were the only shots all day.

They got it back to the trail that follows the property line. Rack is in pristine condition. And now she knows what a deer drag is like. Her second best ever deer - happy daughter!

Daughter comes to our place every year. She hunts harder than I. Always more glad that she gets her NY road trip buck than if I get my own. It’s become a nice tradition. Happy Dad. Now I’m out for the afternoon shift where I saw those bucks at last light yesterday.

      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
