Good luck for the last two days everyone! I sat Saturday afternoon and had 15 in the freshly cut corn field. Although I had the closer ones within 50 yds, I never raised the muzzleloader. Got two freshies in the freezer and had almost two deer left over going into the season, so yesterday I got up early, but seeing the rain and sleet I figured I'd tap out for the season. Gave up a couple of my spots to the neighbors on either side of me, and they each got does. So I'm happy for that.

Not live but I thought my hunting season was over. Got a call from the guys to meet at DD Sunday morning they had a muzzle loader I could use. I have never even fired a muzzle loader. We did some small pushes and moved some deer. One of they guys missed a doe. I saw 3 while pushing, nothing while sitting. We were soaked through and cold by 1 pm so we called it. I shot the muzzle loader since I had never fired one before. It was pretty cool. Its a good thing I never got a shot at a deer though because I completely missed a 15"x15" target at 75 yds. They guys were making fun of me so I loaded it up again and missed again. I am blaming the gun not being mine. Might have to get a muzzle loader for next year and get it sighted in for me. One guy stayed behind and wound up shooting a big doe on spot and stalk in the freezing rain. So ends my 2018 season....

I was joking with the guys that I was going to carry one over each shoulder and one in my hands giving me 3 shots.

Took today off for one last hurrah. Changed to a half day after a dismal forecast in 8F and now it looks like the afternoon is still going to be 25+ winds. Ugh. Can’t say I’m too excited especially after 2 poor sits over the weekend.

Muzzleloader stayed in the safe. Took the bow out. Many target bucks have fallen or were picked back up on cam at other properties too far away to think they'll be around. Logging still going on and I think has driven them out a bit. Saturday was pretty slow. Multiple deer that basically bedded down out of range. The hot buck spot seemed to be getting cold. Top it off with loggers coming in to skid out some logs not far from me to stay ahead of the rain. I relocated to a spot in the opposite direction to intercept some doe groups that typically come through. Sat just inside a field edge. Group of doe came through but it was getting dark enough with cloud cover it was hard to tell if any where buttons so they got a pass. Sunday woke up to pouring rain that lasted well through the day, but intermittent later on. Used the day to do co-op duties swinging by our unmanned QDM checkstation to age jawbones, collect harvest forms, and make sure everything was good to go for any last minute hunters checking deer in. then ran errands to gather supplies for euro mounts.

      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
