Saw nine deer this afternoon. Seven flat heads, and two small bucks. All were just feeding. No sighting of the big buck I saw trailing a doe yesterday. Off work on Friday. Hope to see more rut activity then.

I'm pretty sure, where I was tonight, will be my opening day of firearms spot! My hunting partner built it for me back in September. Very large and thick swamp below, and a huge buckthorn bedding area on the other side. Got mowed trails and food plots in between. We were up there together and I pointed out a spot and said, right there would be the perfect spot for a stand! Next time I went up there, it was up! I have the best hunting partner! We rode the same school bus together! Have been best friends since 12 years old. Between us we've killed hundreds of deer. After every one, there was always a handshake and a bro hug. Our wives say we'd be lost without each other. They're right.20181029_204818.thumb.jpg.bbb520f2be14b142ae35747ed8a91144.jpg

That's awesome.

Man, that is the best life-long friend a guy could ever ask for.  I cannot wait to see you have a successful harvest this year!

All settled in. 36 degrees, very slight breeze, coffee in thermos, hot soup, energy drink for an afternoon pick me up, now I just need the deer to come out and play!

I was in this stand last evening. It was slow, so I was texting. I heard something directly behind my tree. For once, I was thinking, "Please let that be a squirrel", but no.... 2 fawns, a big doe and another unidentified deer busted me from 15 yards when I tried to stand and get my bow! LOL Oh well! Could have happened just as easily if I was eating, taking a leak, or closing my eyes for a bit!

Live from the barn. Saw a Whopper of a buck out under an apple tree this morning that is typically tore up with scrapes. He was a beauty, probably 150" ten pointer standing there all by himself. I'm glad I had my binoculars in the truck to get a really good look at him. I'll have his image stuck in my head all day!

      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
