Did you guys know that I have a peep site on my bow? Do you know that you should look thru the peep when aiming at that heavy 8 pointer that's standing broadside at 18 yards?  I guess that I didn't know that either... sailed it a foot over his back!
Good news is that he never had a clue that I was there. 
Rookie mistake. 44 years of hunting and still making rookie mistakes.

10 deer in the bean field tonight. Mo shots though. All in all a great night. Can’t wait got next weekend!!

I guess that killing one is the point. But sometimes it's fun to just watch them. I guess it really depends on what you have in your refrigerator for dinner.

At least you have a good attitude about it.  Hopefully you cross paths again.

It’s always a learning experience. In my time I’ve probably made every mistake possible. I practice and practice but mistakes still happen. It’s all good as long as it’s a clean miss. This one definitely was. Watched (and found) the arrow sail over him right in line with the vitals but high. 

All part of why it’s called hunting, not killing.

Didn't see anything this am in the rain or this evening from 4 till 6:15,at 6:15 I looked over my shoulder through the side window of my blind and there are 2 large does about 40 yards away heading for my shooting lane.  I got ready while they walked slowly,turned on my sight light and just as I was about to draw as they got in my lane about 20yrds in front of me some guy starts rapid firing his shotgun.  He fired 7rnds in a row roughly every 5m until 6:45,of course then 7 does came within 30yrds once he finished but it was to dark then for a good shot so I waited for them to do their thing for 30m and walked home.  I would love to know that guys name cause I'm sure he was shooting at that time for a specific reason.

Crosses ditch and in behind me at 17 standing broadside. Another free pass issued 

Don't let to many pass or you will be going into gun season without one. You need to break your cherry on one, get the first one out of your system and then become more selective. Don't expect your first one to be a whopper although it would indeed be nice. As long as you are enjoying yourself and having fun....that is all that matters.

U hunting on the golf course? Lol.nice green field 

Funny you say that.  Named this stand the greenfield stand years ago.  

If it was a golf course it would be a par 4 . Lol

Dunno if farmer meant to but he left 20 yard strip of grass and clover higher all the way up the treeline I hunt.  Hoping that pays off as a little better food source close to stand. 

Didn't see a damn thing tonite though.

Was just thinking maybe they are golfing there and that 20 yard strip is just rough they put in.  

After today with small gamers, barking dogs, loud farmers and a skunk......why not.

Up and at them again this morning. My buddy from Miami, Florida got his first ever New York deer last night. Arrowed a doe in 4J and she went 20 yards and fell in view of his stand. Pretty cool stuff, he’s surprised by how big even the doe up here are compared to the deer down in Florida

      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
