This has now become a mental battle. The wind has picked up my toes are cold and my skittles could beak my teeth but I see a lot of activity at this mid morning from this stand. 70 min to go.

Uhhh you are in the enviable position to not have to battle weather that you don’t like.  Just an FYI.  Lol

I'm sitting in the easy chair this morning just reminiscing and chillin' out, and staying warm.  Got one yesterday afternoon.  Very thankful, as it's been super slow!  Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Great buck halfnelson.  Looks like you used the sleeper hold on this one.

First time sitting out a Thanksgiving morning hunt, in a long time for me. My buck tag is used up, my grandson and hunting buddy opted out, because of the wind and cold. Got a house full coming for dinner today, so helping grammy where I can. Will go down and wipe down the rifles in a few, get everything set to go again. 

Still a lot of hunting to do this year!

When I left this morning it was 5 degrees with a minus 6 wind chill.  Sat in a low spot to get out of the wind but it didn't matter because cold is cold.  I thought maybe I could catch them coming down the hill or up the hill.  # on the ground. Lasted 3 hours and had had enough. Didn't see a thing and only heard a few shots with nothing after 9:00. Saw a few tracks but nothing fresh. I am probably going to take a few days off until I get an attitude adjustment. It did warm up to 16 by the time I got home and the wind chill is up to 4+

Have a good day everyone!!

We tapped out at 11:30. Daughter seems to think she had a great chance at the fat doe. Both myself and friend said wait until she gets digging in plot. Make the perfect shot.  She’s kicking herself for listening to us and said she could have made the shot she did have. Doe never stopped in plot.  Then got too far too right. I could have plugged it out my window but we were there for her.  Well probably afternoon hunt tomorrow and pass on morning hunt.

      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
