Live from the office. It is killing me that I shot under that Beauty yesterday. Going over it in my head and I just plain old blew it. Rushed everything. Buck fever strikes me again. Trying to be thankful that it was a clean miss and I didn't wound him. It all happened so fast so keep that in mind while you are out there today. It can happen any moment! Until that happened I was going to be content to wait for the gun opener on Saturday but now I am thinking I might take a day this week and get back out there one more time with the crossbow.

That was crazy.  Heard crashing off 150 or so. See doe come ripping out of woods , then another both into golden rod. Then good buck nose to the ground   Chased those two all over , then another doe popped up.  Watched him breed one. Two more doe off 150. Just saw buck off 200 chasing again. This is wild.  Never saw this before.  

When I didn't bow hunt the guys would tell me about that mornings like that. I started bow hunting I think 5 years ago now and have been lucky enough to catch a couple of days in the woods like that. Glad you finally decided to pick up a bow TF. It really is remarkable what you see this time of year.  I don't hate gun season but I sure don't look forward to it like I used too.

Headed out this morning and jumped two right out my back door. Two dark to tell what they were. I set up on a travel route close to a bedding area on the edge of some cedars. Had one sneak through behind me and couldn't tell what it was. At 8:15 had a respectable 8 point come  skirted around my stand, and stopped broadside at 51 yards. Tried to grunt and bleat him in but he showed no interest at all and just meandered off. I couldn't get a picture because I had the bow in my hand ready to shoot in case he came closer. I ranged where he had stood after he left. No way I could take that shot or even think about it.

Got down and walked for an hour and jumped another doe. Came home for lunch and then back at it until dark. Sure hope this isn't the last sit for bow season but the weather does not look good for the rest of the week.

Beautiful morning to be in the woods.

so i had more house stuff at the new house that had to get done. then had some work at the farm with clients getting hay bales. finally had a break in schedule to hunt Sunday morning. sometime before 8am had two doe and a fawn come into the stand. took the oldest one of the group at something around 15 yards. she finally crashed down hill in the bottom of a brushy hole below the stand. still in plain sight. thought she wasn't done as i saw movement. looked through the 6x rangefinder to find a coyote over her not 10 seconds after she hit the dirt. i watched it and yelled and got rowdy in the stand but it was intent on lowering it's head and getting into MY deer. i quickly as possible lower my bow, racing out of the stand, and then sprinted down to the deer and coyote. at 35 ish yards i was coming in hot and the yote figured he wanted to live to see another day, idk. it was gone in a flash and never stopped. within that short period of time it got through the hide and just into the roast on the one hind quarter.  stood guard waiting for my dad to come with the UTV as i had everything to field dress it back at the truck. mean while a doe came in off an overgrown pasture. she came in quick to 15 yards saw me that looked off and trotted away. i ducked behind a tree and spotted it had a buck in tow that hung up in the brush at the pasture edge/fence at close to 50 yards. at first it didn't look big and couldn't see much of it. then it started turning its head and got a lot bigger. it he decided without the doe there wasn't much reason to go toward me so he turned around and walked back into the thick pasture.  he was much bigger and wider then i thought. i worked toward the pasture edge minutes later but he was gone. probably after that doe. half hour later dad showed up to get me and the doe. then spent the rest of the day doing more house stuff and getting the doe processed for the freezer. that hole has always been hard to hunt with inconsistent winds but while there in that one spot it seemed to work. i think i might get my climber down in there to test it it out. needs that particular prevailing WNW wind though with morning thermals carry scent up the ridge out of there. fate seems to be a funny thing.

And you can bet you won't see it after Saturday. One more reason to love bow season.

All kidding aside a big 8 came right at me, had him in the scope around 20 yards, and i couldnt aim well enough, shook like a leaf, he kept walking into branches.  Hearts pounding!
That rush is what it's all about. Now go shoot him hopefully he comes back around

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      A Hunter's Obligation to Know the Rules
      By JDN2K
      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...

      Bolt Action with Pistol Grip
      By Alfredo
      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
