She came out and I accidentally clicked the stand with my boot. So she hangs up then decides to come right at me and check it out. After a 10 minute 8 yard stare down she walked away and gave me a 21 yard shot threw a small window.

Fletch performs the infamous " victory lap ". Nice shooting, enjoy the brew !!


I hit the farm to check cams, finally have a big boy cruising around !! On another note, had a doe nursing fawns.... Wth. She better get them on solid food before the weather turns ! Both fawns are tiny.

My dad would check our lunch bags to make sure we had our wrappers and napkin in there and if you shot a bullet you better have the empty with you or you were going back in for it . 

Looking for my spent round is usually how I kill time in the stand waiting to get down. Those black hornaday rounds are tough to spot from the tree stand.

curious to see what results you see while there... I did the same thing midday yesterday and didn't see any deer.

Zero expectations besides a nice quiet sit..spent absolute minimum energy getting in

Snuck out for the peak while the kids are at school...

Buddy set me up again with one of his spots right behind our housesIMG_5857.thumb.PNG.0487271a6c8ac45788d00b20887a0c8e.PNGIMG_5856.thumb.PNG.ad9f34b166242aaf50ae03d74a520ddf.PNG

You really think that app works? I tried to use a few! I don't care for them much. I just went back to old school. The more time u put in ur stand the better the odds!

I can go back in time on this app and confirm more than 75% of my harvest fall close to a daily peak zone...mostly on the edges of the day as well.

I don't exclude hunts with it, I try to use most recent info + weather conditions and if I can choose between a peak period or lull I do.

For a midday only hunt which is by far the lowest percentage of success outside the rut I really would prefer a peak.

In my anecdotal observations I have found other animals move less on the troughs as well.

Two days in the woods at 5h all I saw was the worlds largest fisher and this porcupine who was hanging out at my cabin. Crossbow did him in.

I am also in 5H. I killed 22 Porkies last year and 8 so far this year. They DESTROYED 2 of my box blinds, requiring re-sheathing with treated plywood at a cost of over $400.  Our property is infested with them. I hate them. The blinds smelled like a zoo for months.

I figured with the cold front and rain coming they may be moving this morning so I grabbed the climber and headed out. I sat for 2 1/2 hrs. and didn't see a thing. Knowing the rain was coming I decided to climb down about 10:30.

I am on the ground packing up the climber etc. and this stupid doe/fawn steps out 10 yds. from me. It couldn't quite figure out what I was so it crossed over the trail circled a bit and walked right to me. I figured no way I could reach in my pocket to get the phone out and take a picture but she was dumb enough to stand and watch me the whole time.

She never did spook just kind of wandered off and I stayed put til she was out of sight. Poor thing will never make it through the season if she doesn't smarten up.

My view this morning and the dumb doe:

never ran into a porcupine. despite them sending some quills into you or your pet, are they a pest or nuisance? 

They tear and shred up trees in my experience.  They also scare the crap out of the ladies when ambling by the fire-pit at night after a few wines.

I've read that they're good eating (seriously), but one can imagine how cautious you'd need to be while skinning.

Not trying to be wise guy , but if you hunt mostly peak times ,wouldn’t then most of your kills be peak times ?

Nice! My first xbow kill was a porcupine in 2011 in PA.

      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
