Haha we’ve all done that or come close.

This convo is crazy to me. Field dressing is such a fundamental part of hunting and one that should be done ASAP.

I buy those shoulder length glove packs and have it down to a process where it’s usually just my boots and pant legs getting bloody

I’ve gutted maybe 100-150 deer never worn gloves. Hope I don’t die lol.

Anyhow my Dad grew up a city kid, married my mom an Adirondack girl. He started hunting with my grandfather in his 20s. He got a few deer and never gutted one. I came along and my grandfather had me gutting at 10-11 years old. I couldn’t hunt but I could drag and dress lol.

Impressive..........

I guess I'm over 160 now (give or take a couple) and didn't use gloves at all for the first 120 or so but do like to use them if they are in my reach.  A couple reasons that I like them are in very cold weather I don't have to peel any clothing off, just slide the shoulder length gloves all the way up and rock on.  Another reason is if there is no water, snow or wet leaves I can be assured I'll be pretty clean and not bloody up my bow, gun, clothes, sandwich or truck.

Disease is the furthest thing from my mind........

I have no cell service on the lease so this is tape delayed photos and story :mail:

Decided I was going to head to the lease around 9:30 and sit midday to dark, wife and son decided to stay home . I knew I wanted to sit on the dug road as it had been loaded with tracks the last few hunts.

I decided to use the same oak tree  that my wife  had seen deer out of opening day of firearms, it had a really nice pine right next to it that offered great cover. At about 11:00 had 3 hens walk under my climber and then at 12:30 I hear deer coming up behind me. I stand, turn ,cock the hammer on the super redhawk and turn on the red dot . There’s 6 doe walking up the hill about 50 yards, the two lead doe’s are behind some heavy brush , no shot. I look and the 4th was just as big as the lead.

Rested my arms against the tree and waited for the doe to come into the ok shooting lane that I noticed.  Touched off the 44 and she donkey kicks as I see her kick I see a branch fall. She runs about 75 yards and goes down, I watch her and she gets back up and runs down the hill and I loose sight of her . At this point I am thinking oh no I hit that branch  and it deflected the bullet. I wait half hour and I climb down and walk over to where I watched her go down. The blood was every where,  I am thinking how did she get back up. Found her about 100 yards down the hill. The bullet did deflect some and hit her a little back.  All in all the 240 grain xtp did its job. Very happy to have some venison for the freezer..

I saw a deer today, go me.  I have this coming week off too unexpectedly, my dad, and I are going to focus on a different zone where we have doe permits. I wanted a buck for the wall so badly.  Oh well, every 7 yrs for me, lol.

congrats to those who got deer!

Dad and i went back out to where we sat opening day. Plenty of new tracks and beds just no sightings.  Hes always been fortunate enough when he hunted all the time he always had private land.  Starting to see how much stateland hunting can suck.  Told him just be patient and he did says he now undertands why i let very little walk past.

Thank you sir, much appreciated! I will be lucky to fill one.  No sarcasm.  Will be reading in the land management, and food plot threads, something has to change.

      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
