Wow I would have thought you would sleep in today.  Well done.  

On top of not sleeping well I hunt with one of my best friends as well as a great group of guys. I’ll be happy to harvest a doe today and pumped if my friends gets something.

Little tip from Cabin Fever... Check forecasted wind direction before gutting deer the day before! That's all I've been smelling for the past couple hours and I'm about ready to gag!! I might have to rub some doe in estrus urine under my nose to not smell the gut pile anymore!

Live from the livingroom.  71 degrees, no wind.  Quiet walk in to my recliner.  Horses, dogs and cat are fed.  Birdfeeders are full.  I have already drank half a pot of coffee.  

Day #2 of "house arrest".  When she told me she was going to Florida to see her sister during the second week or rifle season, I tried to play it cool.  I told her I would already have a buck down by then.  Nope.  Now I have to try and get it done the last 3 or 4 days of our 16 day season.  At least we have another 9 days of muzzleloader after that.

My buddy tagged a 198lb 5 point yesterday.  He saw 2 more bucks by the time he got it back to his truck!

Good luck everyone.

I am skipping the morning hunt. I was out yesterday in the wrong location,sat for a few hours then decided to still hunt and cut some tracks pretty quickly,and i think i scared those deer on my way in.

I stayed on the east side of a north south ridge and expected to find some deer there. Tracks is all i found,and a fresh scrape. Then hiked for a long while with no tracks,then hiked to the top of the ridge. More tracks and three fresh scrapes there.

Then i went down to an empty beaver swamp on my way back to the truck. I got close to the edge on my side and a deer stood up on the other side,about 140 yds away. Small doe.

Then another stands up,and holy moly the biggest buck i have ever seen on the hoof. You know how you have to look for a rack sometimes? This was the opposite,twice as wide as his ears at least. He didn't know why the doe got up,and i put the scope on him but had branches on my side and brush on his side. I gave the shot a 10% chance of connecting,so passed. I tried to work my way to an opening,but he took a few steps as well and was covered again. Then the whole group took off,6 deer total.

Pretty neat too see him though.

Springfield #1898 30-40 Krag. My dads. I can remember telling me he waited for a nice buck to keep walking uphill in PA so he didn’t have to drag him uphill. 300 yard shot and deer tumbled down the hill dead. Miss you Pop 3-29-2018. Now I have tears in the tree stand f25cac4e587b45fdff5ce4bd817e02c2.jpg

      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
