Harvested the tree, hung some lights, sprint to my 3S spot with my partner and bows. 2 sets of 2 does came by on the wrong side- walking, walking, walking....right to my scent cone- halt! About face! Hunt over! Would have been sweet to hang a tree and a doe in the same day!

We built one at our parents that is 8x12...complete with a staircase, balcony, and wood stove.  The outside is fully finished with trim, soffit, etc like mine.   

Is the 8x12 to big and to hard to see out all the windows? I'm in the planning stages for one now and want some space but want it easy to see out each window easily

Hunting partner sent a few pics from 3s across the street from his grandfather’s cemetery (the gentlemen who started the hunting tradition for him and subsequently me). The 8 and 4 were locked up pretty hard he said....it’s still/back on boys and girls

Another great hunt this evening in 8N.  I’ve sat on the same bucket for three nights in a row and seen 2 dozen deer.  Probably should have pulled the trigger a time or two but oh well.

Hunting most of the day tomorrow and a buddy just gave me another doe tag.  Hoping for a successful day.

Another round ?! How’d the first one fly ? 
And hope not about bolt. Thinking about that or savage for next year 


My belief is that it went deflected... some brush (but not thick) and I just can’t accept a clean miss at 60 yards.

I should have had a follow up, the 4 doe didn’t immediately take off, but the whole bolt came out. So weird...

Shot a doe today in PA. Donated to a family that can use the meat. 5 people got 3 doe, a 8pt and a coyote. 180 yard shot .243 bang...flop... dead. Longest I’ve shot,  before that was 80 yards. Also shot it in my pajamas from the cabin.

Exactly!  Too big for one person to hunt out of....my parents will lounge out there so it is multi use.  I like my 6x8 to hunt from.

Not as good as these pajamas

Had good snow to check out the shot...Definitely a clean miss..

Gonna try tomorrow afternoon for one last chance...

Son was skiing at Jiminy Peak in MA today and I was going to give a shot on some public land in the capital District. Decided I didn't want to leave him in case, God forbid, anything happened to him on the slopes and took a nice long power nap in the back seat of the truck instead. Plus I wasn't really feeling it.

Drove home on 22 all the way. Herds of deer all out in the fields. More deer on the drive than I have seen all season. After seeing that I have to admit I am very jealous of those of you who have good ag lands around them. Just amazing to see compared to hunting the suburban woods.

Good luck to all going out for last day of their regular season tomorrow. I will head out for a humbling sit on my less productive woods .

So today I saw the biggest buck I have ever saw but he was in a swamp he and a couple of doe we're bedding in the cattails and as soon as I got close they went deeper into the swamp  but they stopped and didn't go out the other side . He got that big because he is a smart deer . Hoping to see him out side of the swamp.

      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
