PM hunt in uncut soybean field at friends in 9H. 
Thanks Turkeyfeathers for the snack!  I remember when your Dad (RIP) would give us snacks before we checked our trap lines!  
Fingers crossed with my new scope!!

ANYTHING BUT KRAVE! The former owner tried to partner with my jerky and I never did because his sucks. Don't eat that gross gummy fake jerky. Your tastebuds will thank you

They got it back to the trail that follows the property line. Rack is in pristine condition. And now she knows what a deer drag is like. Her second best ever deer - happy daughter!

Daughter comes to our place every year. She hunts harder than I. Always more glad that she gets her NY road trip buck than if I get my own. It’s become a nice tradition. Happy Dad. Now I’m out for the afternoon shift where I saw those bucks at last light yesterday.

Well just got a call from the guy ive been taking this year. Not good for his gun.  He dropped it going in opening day. Well just slipped into snow. Told him that wont hurt it recoil is worse then slipping into soft snow.  Well he just told me he dropped it 3 times that day.  Once when i was there, once on a stone wall then bounced it off his door jam in his truck when he got home saturday.  And now the scope is cracked.  So i told him to go shoot it or if not he needs to use my single shot.  Trying to build him back up but hes pretty down on himself.
Hope its a Leupold or Vortex otherwise he may be out some big bucks for a new scope

Last year I dropped my nikon monarch binocs out of stand onto a pile of rocks. both eye pieces were sheared off. I contacted nikon and it took about 6 weeks but I had a brand new pair mailed to me. They even gave me the monarch 5 when I had the 3.

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

Kills me that a couple of weeks ago, I went to a local deer farm to buy some fresh doe in estrus urine, Top Shelf stuff. I'm a sucker and had high hopes, so I ended up spending $80! Never had any deer pay attention to it or anything! Even young bucks would walk right over the dragline without giving it a second thought.

On two occasions now, I've had this spike walk in under my stand and lick my freshly deposited urine that I just launched from my stand though! It comes in and licks the branches, eats the leaves and snow that it's on! WTF...

Who is going to brave the cold in the morning? I have hunted Thanksgiving morning for about 20 years now but tomorrow is supposed to be brutal. News said -12 windchill in Albany so I can't imagine it won't be colder in 4k. I can't stay warm when it is 20 and a slight breeze. Sent a text to the guys. Didn't want to be the only idiot at DD in the morning and go out and freeze to death by myself. I am going to give it a shot. I hope I can make it until 9am.

As I'm coming out of the woods across the street, crunching on the ice on the road, I looked over behind the house and noticed a deer looking at me. About 300 yards away so I glass it and see it's an 8 point. I texted my girlfriend to let her know so I could possibly get a plan together. The deer starts to feed and then I noticed it looking towards the house, I see my girlfriend walking to her car and the buck on a run heading straight away. I texted again and said never mind, you just spooked him. Finally got a text back, "Sorry". Oh well, my tough week continues.

Heading out around noon, really don't want to get skunked again...

Who is seeing what and where?

I feel like the sign indicates traveling from thick cherry/elder/grapevine bedding which is getting browsed hard and ag and also traveling through and bedding in pine stands.

Sitting warm, dry and out of the wind. Seeing no deer but at least I’m comfortable doing it. Almost feels wrong but I put in plenty of years sitting in trees without even a stand... just climb up, wedge a foot into a limb and hang on. 

Im liking this a whole lot better.

      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
