Well it was a good safe season for everyone here which is great. Most had some successful hunts and filled the freezers up. I had many opportunities to punch a tag on some fine looking doe and came close to tagging a couple nice bucks (less than 8pts gets a free pass). With our sons playing on 2 spring baseball teams and his summer multi state travel baseball team dinners at home will be few and far between so I don't really need much deer meat. Now it's time to focus on habitat projects as much as possible with the little free time I have. January starts Sat & Sunday baseball practices along with basketball games. Congrats to all who punched a tag!

So... It wasn't last minute but it was last afternoon. Me and five other people did some pushing today. We saw deer on every push which I thought was pretty good. On the last one of the day before taking our evening watches I got this buck. We had a ton of fun and this really made the day. Nine pointer with a couple small kickers near the bases. 18 1/2 inch inside spread. My best buck to date.

Way to go! Beautiful last day buck! Congratulations! 

 

No matter if we killed a deer or not, seems like most all of us had a great deer season! And learned something that will make us better hunters next year!

 

For me, it's on to learning how to handload. Some predator and small game hunting with my grandson, and crow hunting with Buckmaster7600!

I got up this morning and the wind was howling with about a 13 degree wind chill so said screw it. Spent the morning stuffing some venison sausage casings ready to cook. The wind died down somewhat so I went out in the afternoon and sat in a little bowl to try to get out of the wind.

As I was climbing up the tree I look up and see a doe on the ridge about 60 yards away just watching me. I think to myself "now I am busted". I continued up to the height I was going to sit and she is still watching so I pulled the phone out & took a couple pictures. Got the climber stabilized, pulled up the bow, knocked and arrow, only to realize my release was still in my pack on the ground. I pulled the pack up got the release out and she was still there watching. I figured what the hell I have nothing to lose so I waved to her like "come on I will shoot you". She watched for a couple of minutes and gave me a look like "not today buddy" turned and just walked away.

 I saw one other deer to far away and couldn't tell what it was. Sat til dark and nothing else.

Except for the weather I can't complain about this deer season since I saw deer just about every time I was out just not many shot opportunities Last year it was mostly bucks in the early season and nothing during gun season. This year by far more doe and hardly any bucks.

 Well it is over for another year...sad to see it end but glad it is over. Probably after the holidays or possibly before I will get some cameras out to see what survived and start scouting for next year.

      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
