Back in the woods in 8N after a brief hiatus due to injury.  15 mins after I got settled a small 6pt trotted by at 80yds.  The wind is light but it is swirling quite a bit.  Hopefully a deer is the one to make a mistake tonight, I could really go for some tenderloins for dinner!

I've been stalking this thread from the office. Sounds like things are FINALLY starting to heat up in some places. Congrats on some nice deer!

I'm back out tomorrow for the last sit before gun season. It'll be my 7th and final sit before Saturday. I hope to at least see a deer, let along get a good shot at one. Forecast is calling for a high of 36 with snow through the morning and 10-20 mph WNW winds. IF they're right, should make for an interesting morning.

Good luck to anyone who's out  tonight!

DAF here! There's usually squirrels up the ying yang driving me nuts, but I've only seen one since 1pm! Very strange!

cabin,according to my math you are way overdue for some nice sightings and even a shot opportunity. 

I have been seeing deer,but not getting good shots. I give you a lot of credit for your persistence. If i sit for more than a handful of times without action i get frustrated.

Hoping that one minute that changes everything is coming right up for ya.

Going to just keep positive,  everything happens for a reason,  and thats the second buck in a few hours.   I think last season,  I did not see a buck here at all.
Chef can verify how fortunate of a day this has been so far for this area,  lol.

Yea man it’s tough where I hunt and that much harder where you do!

Been in for an hour now pretty quiet. Shot the 20, the ML and the 6.5 mid day today at the in laws. Hop in the truck and Leave there and a couple hundred feet from where I just shot off 50 rounds a nice buck was standing on the RR tracks lol

A scrape was freshened up near the tower on my way in. The boys over there. Hope he gets some action.

Well... I just heard something trotting through the leaves behind me so I grabbed my bow and turned around and here comes a yellow lab wearing an orange vest. And the owner shortly behind it, coming from the thicket I was expecting the deer to come from. Awesome. 3,000 acres of public land and this guy walks right through the bedding area I'm hunting. I'm assuming he's scouting for the weekend. And to make it better he stops and pisses 30yds in front of me. Never saw me. No vehicles around, dead end road. Going to be a great night. Not worth trying to relocate now. Should just make the hour ride home I'm sure...

Oh Well-I heard tell (i believe) on this forum back while ago that deer cant tell the difference between their urine and human! Hang in there and good luck!

Wore out. Today and tomorrow is it for me. Bucks likely to win. First time since 2004.

Get to stare at pics of a target buck breeding a doe 8 hours earlier from the spot I’ve been in this AM.

Ah well.

I do believe that for the most part! It wasn't the urine that insulted me so much as adding insult to injury! It was bad enough he walked through but then to drop trow and spray... The audacity!

Well song of a gun he came back thru awhile later. I passed the first opportunity at close to 50yrds, then he wandered around for a bit then finally committed to my direction. He got about 40 out then viered left and made it to an opening and I gave a few wistles and he didn't even stop and off he walked. BTW I was using a xbow tonight

      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
