Little sad I’m not out but I’ve got 2 stocks on the stove. Rotated tires, kids are making a gingerbread house, dinner is planned, football game is on the TV. I’ll just have to hit it hard Saturday and Sunday

I’m shooting Winchester ammo. My wife bought it for me for Father’s Day last year.

While sighting in this year my dad had a misfire with Winchester Deer season XP. The round was dimpled from firing pin but did not fire.

Quiet sit in 3g while the Giants tried every way possible to give away a game. After the two doe I kicked up on arrival nothing else moved through. Good luck to all those out there this week. I am probably done until Friday or Saturday.

Warm spell. No snow. Hopefully the big boys are back on the feed and need some green in their belly. I have 150yrds of clover to my right. Bedding in front of me. 220yrds of clover to my left and 200 behind me. He comes out, I will send it. 95ad3b2fd1d2b0d9419cf74d3b4b7602.jpg

Headed out to hunt with my best friend tomorrow.  We are going to a piece of land where he killed a small doe today.  He saw 5 other does and a really nice 8 point.  I've never been there before, but the muzzleloader is clean and I have 2 tags.  We'll see!

On a related note, the GF asked me tonight if I was getting up "at the ass crack of dawn" to get over there.  She also sort of asked if I was staying until I killed something.  It wasn't really a question, more of a statement.

  7 more days to get it done.  Oh boy.

40° and winds in my face.

6" - 18" of snow still on the ground, made for a slow walk in.

Brought the umbrella, had it set up just in time for the rain to start...

Good luck everyone!

Wind changed direction after the rain cleared, blew my scent directly in front of me. Decided to get down and go for a walk once ł determined it wasn't letting up.

Walked out to my southernmost property entrance. Walked up my dug road and after trekking 3/4 of it, methodically choosing my limited steps to be quiet as possible, the wind shifted AGAIN.

ł stood still, hoping my stillness would somehow limit my scent destined for the area ł was stalking. Within 2 minutes something caught wind of me, bumped it over the ridge... gone from sight in seconds without offering a glance at any possible headgear.

It is very steep slope and ł wasn't even going to attempt it with the snow ł had been trudging through. Walked back to my stand ł started the day in and hooked a left, uphill at a much easier to handle slope. Got to the old farm ł have permission to hunt and ł walked the wooded edge of the back pasture circling around where the bumped deer went, finally the wind was cooperating!

A huge branch falls nearby and the deer ł have been unrelentlessly pursuing was bedded right next to the opposite corner about 150 yard away. With the crash of a tree chunk assumingly shifted by melting snow in it went. With the flick of a tail and a handful of effortless bounding strides it was veiled in the protection of 1'x1' neon green signs.

That snow drifts on the hillside were 2'+ and made my 5 mile walk feel like 100 miles.

As legal light comes to a close my neighbor messages me, he shot a big doe and needs help dragging it. 

Regardless of how trying it came be at times, ł wouldn't trade an unfruitful day in the woods for anything.

Had intentions if making it to bowhunt state land. Never made it. Hunted a short sit Saturday after loading up a tractor trailer with hay. Managed to get out this afternoon. Lots of doe and a few little/young bucks weekend. No shooters.

      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
