After the morning watch took off a few layers and took a loooong walk in 3 Rivers. Lots tracks, snow had a frozen layer on top which kinda killed the still hunt but I tried.

Hit home and dried the clothes and eased into the deep hole stand. Not many tracks but I’m pretty sure I heard one bump right before I got to stand.

Hoping a pig doe decides to come by.

Decided to change things up for the afternoon sit. Sat until dark and didn't see any deer but did have a visitor. I purposely stayed after dark and called with a mouth call trying to entice a coyote to come in to no avail.

I made it a point to take the thermal with me and saw/counted 13 deer on the way out. Probably some I missed but I guess we can say it's official. They are moving after dark.....at least here.

Few minutes before closing time I had been watching 5 skippers in the big plot   So I climbed down and cut the distance from 225 to about 50-60 yards hoping some maternal guidance would show. No such luck. Used a hedgerow to sneak in as cover.  


5 fawns were together?

What device are you using and how/when do you use it? I bought a FLIR Scout II 240 Thermal Imager last year, and try to use it in the 30 minutes before sunrise to see if there is anything out there. Haven't had any success with it. Maybe the terrain I scan is too thick with brush vs. open fields or mature woods.

. First on drive down see 4 running out of a field by my spot, stop watch them cross road,blow through a bean field cross next road .

Sit 2:30 to 4:45 ish zero deer ,but lots of fresh tracks around.

Walk out of woods, next to woods is about 100:yard wide hay field then standing corn, something is blowing at me from corn.

Turn right  walk a couple hundred yards come to another crop field ,3 more way off halling a$$ around end of standing corn .

Typical for the time of year, they’re not tolerant of much and will run a mile crossing two,three roads , at the sight of a guy .

Also about the only gun sit I recall that I didn’t see a deer on watch .

Gotta get my daughter one Monday .....

If you look in the very center of the picture it is a possum. He climbed up the back side of the tree I was in, climbed to the top and was eating dried up frozen wild grapes. He ate what was on that vine, climbed over to the next one, and ate what was there. Pretty entertaining for a slow deer afternoon.

      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
