I wish I would have built those box blinds this year! For a day like tomorrow. But Tim still going to give it a shot 

They’re nice but wind still  blows straight in mine , little propane heater helps, better then outside , but not really like being inside . Hope to use green one last hour tonight . We’ll see .

Yellow circle is around some nice sized rubs, he beds behind the hut to piss me off .

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 myse

I'll be out here. Not sure for how long but it is indeed a tradition and I think I have only missed two. Once because of sickness and once because of pouring rain.

My son took the picks, ill complain to him about the upside down thing. I was back in my house, "hunting" from my kitchen window. He came out, grabbed my trusty remington 788 in .308. First two shots missed 3rd shot at 350 yardsish running dropped him. Best part is, drag him back an 10 minutes later a bigger 8 walks through the field. Got within 75 yards of yhe house. Last pic.

The stuff is not a magic potion for sure but you also have to keep your scent out of the equation. The best scent won't entice a buck to overlook Human scent and danger. I had great reaction from VS1 and Dominant Buck scents this fall. Every situation is different.

Watching your own scent is a given but quite frankly I have seen more deer using nothing than using something.

But you are correct about every situation being different. I have tried a few that others rave about with no results and even tried the peanut butter jar trick. I have pictures of deer walking right by it but the squirrels and raccoon sure had a good time.

 

To each their own but it doesn't hurt to experiment once in awhile. Now if you really want to attract deer;  make a fox or coyote set and you can almost guarantee a deer will step in it or near it.

Just walked within 25 yards of a bedded doe. Wasn’t sure if it was a doe or buck at first, but I had plenty of time and a clear shot at everything but the head. By the time I saw it was a giant doe and didn’t think any buck was bedded with her, it was too late. She made a couple bounds away, but no tail up so she didnt spook too bad

Congrats. Some of you guys have connected on some great bucks and plump looking does.

I'll be out in the morning, although it'll be interesting. Changing locations from 8a to 8x. 90 minute drive down in a 2wd suv with baldish tires to a seasonal use road where I'm hearing they have 12 to 18 inches on the ground. Might have to park at the end of the road to walk in. Hoping to get in stand by 6 and sit until 9. It's gonna be cold though at single digits temps before wind chill. Then still hunt my way into the wind on my way out. I just hope I shoot one early so I can head to Dunkin to thaw out!

Good luck to anyone headed out tomorrow. Be safe and use common sense.

Couldn't stay in the house all day.....decided to to throw up a new in set in my never ending pursuit to pop one in these dang grapes.
Also took the Savage 220 for a stroll around the property thinking I may sneak up on something in this wind.
Here is a peak from the new set ......looks like deer were moving this morning, so we'll see how this spot plays out over the weekend.a1d58ffecca1c969ef700204c70efd1e.jpga82cc51096e6fc833744f7f59fcae069.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
