I've shot a few growing up. Couldn't tell the difference for a few years! And they still taste good one someone shoots one from Time to time! I try not to anymore. But my son is legal to hunt next year! I'm sure he will take a few

That is why you have to learn target ID. Before you shoot, know what is in front of you. And what is behind your target. I saw a deer coming out of the woods Saturday, 5 mins after i grunted out a doe in heat call. I was like, ok, here comes a doe. A very, very, scared doe. Good enough, maybe she will bring in a buck. It was about 125 yards out in front of me on a hill i was facing.

I let it come all the way down the hill, and i instinctively looked at head out of habit and lo and behold, it was not a doe at all, but one of the spike bucks i have seen on cam all offseason. Decision was since it was only 3 hours into season, let it pass. Maybe it would grow into a nice 4 pointer for next year. Looking at it through brush, however, my eyes wanted to see headgear as branches made it look like it had a rack.

Day goes by and i am in different spot with my bosses son. He is about 500 yards behind me in tree stand. About 415 i hear a shot behind me, i radio him and yes, he claims he shot a large 4 pointer.  Congratulations. 

830 he is asking me to help track. 3 hours later and after doging bobcats and coyotes, it all came full circle. Gut shot spike buck in field. Poor target id coupled with buck fever.

Jeez who shoots fawns?

Well we all have to grow along with the sport and 99.9% of the hunters will mature enough to let the babies walk. Now this poster and it seems his friends I guess are in the other %. Or by reading many of the posts by said poster one would be much better off not believing very many of the words written. Sad Really

Looks like it was a productive day for the hunters today.  A special congratulations to Grampy and Steuben Jerry's daughter, well damn done!!

PS......Age and dressed weight please. :)

Currently hanging, but hasn't been on the scale. Will weigh tomorrow and update. However, I could get a tape measure on him quickly for a fast PA girth conversion..

Did you do the Skittle trick? Did you scatter Skittles all over that field?

Thanks so much everyone. I'm a very happy hunter tonight. 

Posted story in the harvest thread.

My grandson is here. We are heading out in the morning. Him getting one would mean 10X more to me than my own. If not for school today, he would have been with me. Tomorrow is his day!

Well, just got done hanging up my first deer ever with a bow. Will post the full story in the harvest thread, but ive been bow hunting since I was 13. A 12 year drought, and even though he’s not as big as what was posted by others today, I’ll never forget it, and I still got the fever. 50dd04ab1160ce0ed79d9f0a9e3b4e94.jpga60e760933b68c445095e3721f50eae5.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
