Rattled up no less than three bucks this AM.. Wouldn't you know it, all were buttons!   Nice big mama doe hung around, just out of shooting distance. One little guy hung around for at least 30 minutes. I was about ready to give him a name and put a collar on him.  In the end, no shots taken, but had a relaxing couple of hours in the blind.

15’ of para cord and a piece of dead wood does the same thing.......the para cord is tied in a “circle” and in my pocket at all times. Lots of uses including dragging.

Hunted a new spot with a buddy tonight, adjacent to their family cemetary!  The land is posted, but people are dying to get in there. :rofl:

He never hunted in there before so this was more of a scout and sit.  You know it's going to be a good spot when you step out of the car and into piles of deer poop under an oak tree with tons of acorns.  Scouted a bit then sat til dark.  No deer showed, but plenty of rubs, runs and poop to justify going back Monday.

Hunt there’s still a chance to score 

I might have a mental problem,i lost three does this hunting season,more than my prior 7 seasons combined. 

That has to be some sort of sad record,i will do a serious re-evaluation of my equipment and skills before next year. 

I value not having my prey suffer,and that has not happened this year. 

This does make me appreciate how things have worked out in seasons prior.

Not sure of i was just lucky or what happened this year.

Before you get back on the horse, think about what happened.  It'll get better........

Check your equipment, go to range in off season to build up confidence. DEFINITELY  check your zero, get used to the recoil.

Dont beat yourself up so bad, stuff happens. The fact that you feel so bad for the creatures you look to harvest is actually GOOD karma. It will come back your way next year!

You sound like a seriously good and sincere guy who has great respect for the sport as well as the wildlife we all love and respect. You really do mean well, I will be praying for you and your family.

Nice weather this morning for a sit.  Nothing but barking red squirrels and a few gray's running around.  Around 9:45am I decided to sneak around a bit, heading over the hill to a big area I can view.  I heard a couple quick snorts and saw flags........they were south of me and that nasty north wind gave me up.  They made a big circle and one stopped in a spot where I could only make out some brown hair.  Finally after a good ten minutes she took two steps and was wide open.  I glassed her quickly with my binos to rule out any little spikes that could screw up my day, all clear, just ears.

I took the shot at about 90 yards and she flopped over.  I started to drag her uphill but after about 60-70 yards I changed my mind and made a call.  My buddy was going to pick me up on the lower road but first I hoofed it back to the truck and left most of my clothes, gun and binos.  Changed boots and headed back down the hill to get her down to the road.

Nice doe, 1.5 years old but maybe older.  Didn't weigh her because if I did, I'd have to tell you. :)

Not a fawn, thankfully.

      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
