Had a good feeling about tonight. I was up in the tower early. About 4 I had a deer come out to the mini field I could see the bumps on his head and put the glass and yup a button. I see another in the thick still and about 10 minutes later it came out and it’s another button. I go off high alert thinking that is it. Then a couple minutes later she pops out. Nice doe and a huge 24 yard shot with the TC Triumph. As the smoke cleared I saw her going into the thick looking hurt. I got down after 15 and as soon as I hit thick I saw a deer take off. I was 95% it was one of the little ones but backed out to be safe. Gave it an hour and she was 35 yards in the thick. Died 1 minute after she was hit.

Thankful I am. Freezer took a nice upswing. She hit 122 on the scale dressed.

Hunting has been tough this year for my hunting partner, after I shot my buck opening week. He has seen a few small bucks, but passed them hoping for something a bit bigger.

I have been doing one man loops, through some very thick stuff trying to get one in front of him. Almost had a nice one go to him last weekend, but he circled me and went out the back door. 

So this morning I was back at it again. I'd walk till I found a good fresh track, set Gary up, then I'd circle around, trying to get the buck back to him. This was hard work, through heavy wet snow and very thick cover! I'm showing my age I guess, but it forced me to go slow! Exactly what needs to be done for this type of work.

First two times today, I got close, to two different bucks! One, a very nice nine point I got to within 30 yards, before he jumped up! But I have no buck tag! And he went the opposite way I wanted him to go! Dang it!!!

At this point I'm sweating, cut by thorns, breathing hard, and my feet are soaked! (broke through the ice in swamp). My lifelong friend and hunting partner said that's it, lets call it a day. I told him I cut a different fresh track while circling for the last one. Lets go one more time!

Third time was the charm!!! Put the buck 30 yards in front of him!! Was never so happy to hear him shoot!

Two happy, and sore friends tonight! We earned this one. Two hour drag to get him to a wheeler.

Hope to do it again next week for my grandson!20181201_152137.thumb.jpg.63b3827b86521766b030c9a7d28479ad.jpg20181201_141218.thumb.jpg.5bceaf1456033e7fa2e65b521338ca8c.jpg

You're the man Grampy!

I gave this one 2 free passes. I have more interesting deer on my hit list.

He wasn't so lucky today. He walked out of my woods and made it about 50ft. before my neighbor promptly nailed him.

DEC aged this buck at 2.5 years. (Of course some of us knew this). LOL

Was hoping you would connect this am. I pulled the plug early with zero sightings to get a jump on Christmas decorations at the house. On the bright side, I finished smoking venison kielbasa from the doe I poked last weekend. For a first attempt not bad.

Weather is supposed to suck tomorrow. I may give it a go if I wake up and it isn't pouring. Good luck if if you change your mind and get out there before the season is up.

well I finally been able to post a pic of my deer .See I got a flip phone [hey its free from work] and cant e-mail so I had to depend on my son [well I took over a week but he finally sent them to my e-mail]. The story with this deer is I just bought a nice 30-06 Remington 700 but it had see thru bases I really didn't like and a cheap simmons scope and I never really had a chance to sight it in proper only a few shots and it seemed ok . Well im in the stand and im like screw this they aint moving well up @ the tree line I see a doe this was @ 4pm then @ 4:10 I seen him walking through the middle of the field and I made sure he had 3 on one side @ lest and I  aimed @ his shoulder and took the shot he keeps walking in no hurry I shot a gain im like wtf then I aimed @ the end of his ribcage. Well I seen him go down I get out of the tree and I left my gun and backpack hanging on the pull up ropes [really dumb] I walk over to him and I smelled him [he stunk to holy hell] before I seen him  [ he was rutting really hard, all the bucks I seen were they all looked really tired]. I was like oh no I gut shot him but I see his antlers moving and I had my worst fear hes still alive. I get there and roll him over and see I shot him in the neck. Well  I went back and got the gun and pack I load another round and took a shot and that was it but man it still bothers me to this day see with a bow I shoot constantly no way I want to wound a deer but with a rifle I took a few shots while I could and said that was ok but I never ever will take a chance like that again .I will make sure I have good equipment and know the rifles dead on . I try to take ethical shots I passed on deer and yes bucks because I didn't feel comfortable with the shot. Sorry about the lousy pic my neighbor whos even worse than my with these phones

No deer again folks,  I tried, and will keep at it. Just shy of 2 miles in hill country, zero snow, first time at this place.  I did find a buck bed, real excited about that, I am learning, and it was fun to apply what I learned.   Plus, my dad was with me, how cool is that!

Surprise!! It’s raining!!!!

After an uneventful but fun evening sit with my boy last night, this morning was going to be his last sit before heading back for games, HW and life. Do I drag him from his sleeping bag to go sit in the rain....one more cup of joe and I will decide.

If anything we are just staying real close to the barn to sit a field edge of the neighbors prop where deer have been active early.

I’d say wake him up and see what he says. I’m getting mine up now to send out but he’s going to a enclosed tower. I’m tagged out here so once he’s on his way I’m back to bed!

Sort of wondering why bother at this point. He/we had such a great day yesterday for his first real deer camp experience(two great hunts, got one, atv rides, darts and cards and food all evening...). Why end the experience with a cold rainy sit-God willing he has plenty of time to learn how shitty hunting can be at times!!!

.8 point yesterday. Someone had shot his foot, and tried a texas heart shot. He stunk bad. Meat was rotten. At least he is out of his misery.

Body of the deer was huge, horns were nice, but holy cow was he a big deer. There were coyote tracks around his bed but they did not mess with him. He still had some fight in him.

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      A Hunter's Obligation to Know the Rules
      By JDN2K
      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...

      Bolt Action with Pistol Grip
      By Alfredo
      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
