We too still have bucks moving. But mostly at night.IMG_17701.thumb.jpg.f62d584b07608642ccdefd109c436b53.jpgI'm going to try to do some small pushes to my hunting partner tomorrow. I think I  know where this guy is bedding.

Liver hit for sure. That is a dead deer,but it might take several hours.  Don't go bumping it,they usually bed down not far from the hit site. Did you see it hunch up a little too?

And.what was the angle f the shot? If you got a.lung as well it should be dead pretty soon.

Dad showed up about an hour after shot and we started tracking. Found him less than 50 yards from shot in the thicket. Small 3 point. 

So I’m hunting with my dads lever action 3030. Deer comes out from where I expect him too. Line up shot, give him a “meh”, pull hammer back to take off safety, pull trigger and “click”. Gun never chambered a round when I racked the lever after loading. Deer still standing still looking. I slowly work the level, line another shot and bang. Single lung and liver shot. Liver was disintegrated. Quick recovery. Capes and dressed hanging for tomorrow.

I’d love to give him the night but there’s a huge pack of coyotes in the creek bed and I’m afraid there won’t be anything left if I give him the entire night. Would you still leave him knowing there’s at least ten coyotes calling the creek bed home?

I’d search another 100 yards and see what you find then make a decision... see if there are bloody bed or not

Just joined here earlier this week and figured tonight was a good time to join the convo. Really awesome night in the woods in 8H. Had a nice 3 year old 8 point cruise by within 60 yards literally within minutes of getting set up and brushing myself in on the ground, right around 230. Pretty constant action after that. Saw three 3 year olds, two 2 year olds, several yearling bucks, and maybe 20 does.

Had 8 does in front of me around 430 and noticed one snap her head back behind her and start running which I knew meant a buck was coming... ten pointer showed up a second later on a full run after her. His antlers looked out to the tip of his nose and I think it may have been a 4 year old I’ve been seeing pretty consistently so I decided he was a shooter. I couldn’t get him to stop with grunts and ended up shooting him on the run at 60 yards or so with a muzzle loader and he ran 150 yards into a creek bed. Got on blood right away and it looked pretty good so after giving him 20 mins I started to work to the creek bed and ended up jumping him right as I got to the edge. I’m afraid I only got one lung and maybe liver so I backed out and am going to come back in 5-6 hours and start searching. I’ve never had to back out on a deer before so pretty torn up and really hoping he’s dead when I come back. Anyone else think this blood looks like the spray you get with lungs?461282D7-479D-4592-89BD-3177DAC57024.thumb.png.3f1747bc2175d0ac18b851e2068c4fdb.png

Looks like some blood forward of the tracks. Could be from nose and mouth, indicating a lung/liver hit like you think. If you have that many coyotes close by, he won't last long. Go in easy after three hours. If blood increases, go easier but a little farther. If blood decreases, or you bump him, back out and give him another three hours.

Good luck. I think you will find him.

Luckily I don’t have to deal with yotes. 5-6 hours is a lot of time with yotes close by.

I’d stick with your original plan.

Good luck! Post up the outcome

Thanks, will do! Yeah our coyote problem is terrible on this farm. It doesn’t impact the deer hunting and it’s by far my most productive spot so I’ve been reluctant to add any additional pressure and go predator hunting but we’ll definitely be out in the off season trying to knock down their numbers. Last time I shot a doe they were out howling before I even had the deer gutted.

That would get the hair on the back of my neck standing up,fast.

Ended up hopping in my new set in the grapes a little before 4.....upon getting to the stand I noticed two doe bedded about 75 yards straight away. After I got up into the stand and turned around ...they were now on their feet and bounding away.
A minute or two later I see another doe make make its way thru the grapes and leave the property....within a minute or two it turns tail and comes screaming back onto my property and is walking parallel to my stand thru the grapes. I take a quick look down the lane and jude it to be 70 yards. She enters the lane.....I give a "meahh" to stop and take a shot with the crosshairs on her shoulder.
She immediately reacts and runs straight away 10-15 yards and then starts zig zagging they the grapes eventually nose diving 65 yards from where she was shot.
I am pretty happy....1st deer with the new Savage 220 and venison in the freezer. So as I am packing my gear up and calling the wife I notice her stand and make a small circle and bed down again. Through the binos I assume she is dead so I walk over slowly looking for the deer 20 minutes later and eventually bump her..... immediately back out and head home for dinner and and make a few phone calls.
I ended up talking with my dad and we were going to head back at first light then my one hunting buddy convinced me to go back tonight since we may get a pretty nasty ice storm in the morning.
Well after getting back there around 9pm and a .25 mile track which took us thru some thick stuff and which also showed us she bedded multiple times we ended up finding her not far from her last bed that had heavy blood.
Glad we got on her tonight because she already had he back end nibbled on and tail completely gone.
In addition it was pretty cool since I just hung this stand on Wednesday...and not that I wanted to track at 9pm.....but my buddy that I have been hunting with for years was able to help with a textbook track and retrieval.0bc404f747b892aa45105118797585a9.jpg686d6fec0efe736abea601a24612f9d0.jpg

Good news!! Recovered the buck. He literally only went 10-15 feet from where I jumped him and less than 200 yards from where I first shot him. I think the crashing I heard that I thought was him running thru brush was actually him crashing to the ground dead. I’ve never had to back out on a deer before so I was pretty tore up waiting the 6 hours but I’m glad he died quickly and wasn’t suffering for that time. I definitely got the liver and I think one lung but haven’t gutted him yet... figured it’d be best to do at my house given all the coyotes I’ve got on that property so I’m off to do that once I post this. It’s not the buck I thought it was but my buddy and I have seen this buck a few times before. Tank of a body and a pretty good set of antlers. We were undecided whether he was 3 or 4 so my buddy actually passed him at 20 yards during bow but he wasn’t getting away tonight when he came in grunting and chasing a doe. Will post some more photos tomorrow once it’s light. Thanks everyone for the input earlier!

      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
