Well it happened this morning. Was windy when I got In the stand. Then at about 7 am it went calm. Looked across the creek and up the side hill and saw a good sized deer walking within 10 yards of my buddy’s stand. Oh did I mention he slept in this morning and didn’t come? Looked through binos and it had a decent rack. He is about 200 yards away or better. I hit the grunt call and he turns and starts that bristled stiff legged walk towards me. I had my crossbow. Seemed like forever for him to cover that ground but he came in a straight line towards me. Got to the path I walked I. And started sniffing twigs I had rubbed against walking in. But he kept coming. 25 yards and he turned broadside to walk up a path. Shot. He bolted for aboutaadbd06612fed72631535527b5d89340.jpg&key=998001d9b6809bd63f7f459c3eeb030b861b6c2a64300f51d044e9fad7128ac57dd30152e60caebf22d8b5a5f2f10964.jpg&key=5813bd887bc8241d6e72169fcee72d8aa962d351c9f481a78511d8de7db77d54 40 yards through the thick crap and I saw him stand for a few seconds and then walk off. Gave him and hour and he was down about 15’ from the last I saw him. b4de02475a3673f00a30962973db6f91.jpg&key=15e92ed8853598eb13fdc5fde8bb5dfa3869373c46f7d7cc1c43a5ca378978b7

Mmmmm balls for lunch. Sounds delicious! I'm honestly not sure if your serious or kidding. I try to get as much meat off my deer as I can but the nuts are a bit too far for me.

I have been binge watching "Meateater" lately he and ate those, from an antelope, in the episode I watched last night.   Those from the bb were not bad, but nothing special, basically leaving me hungry, so I pulled the tongue (he eats those also), and cut off part of the liver and fried that too. No reason not to since the frying pan was already dirty.   The tongue was tiny and the skin on it was tough and chewy but the liver was good as usual.  Again, I was left wanting more, so I pulled the tenderloins and just finished those.  Those may be the best I have ever had - beef or deer.    Now I am stuffed and ready to sit in the stand until dark.   I would put the total weight of the "parts" that I have consumed so far at slightly less than a pound.  That should leave more than 50 on the carcass to share with the wife and kids, per the PA chart.

Doe recovered and back in stand.  Quick Wendy’s burger with Phade.  Fingers crossed for him.  

For all the xbow shooters, I used some cheap nap mechanical 3 blades from amazon.  $14 for 3.   Left a huge hole.   She only went 50-60yds.  Nice head for the $$$$.

Great morning sit. Saw a pile of bucks. Got this guys pic cause he followed me in and made it difficult to get up, in and settled. Had big guy hiding out holding a doe hostage. I couldn't make out his rack. Seemed like forever but she finally came my way, ranged her at 28, he finally came out of the thick stuff, saw decent rack....he kept coming....I put him in the scope....mehhhh.....he stopped, and I passed. Great looking deer. Awesome encounter, but not coming home with me.

Also saw a deer swim the creek today. Potentially one of the coolest/craziest/dumbest things I've seen a buck do in the rut.

Great morning !!

Well, this 5 hour blizzard has probably ended bow season for me. Just when things were starting to pick up too. It will be gun and ground hunting from here on out. Winter has arrived! 

 

I am gonna try one more bow on bucket seat hunt by the Golden Rod bedding later this evening. I know deer do not move during the day through heavy fresh snow.

      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
