I pack everything back up and I have a backup stand about 400yds away, I race over to it and it's gone, someone stole it!

One year my brother in law put a stand up the afternoon before the opening of gun season. When he went in the next morning before daylight it was gone. That is one of the reasons I primarily use a climber. Every time I put a ladder stand up I chain it and lock it even on my own property. I bought four locks all keyed the same so I don't have to worry about which key goes to each lock.

Looks like lake effect Fri-Mon (heaviest on Sat), with the possibility for a nor’easter type storm mid next week. Lots of model spread though, so it could be all rain, or 6-12” of snow for CNY/CapitalRegion/Dacks. We will wait and see, but generally looks like a cold airmass for a while starting this Saturday.

Please bring the snow.

Rain, no mas no mas

Is he sure he didn't get lost?

That is crazy where do you hunt east St. Louis?

This was a hang on, I carry in climbing sticks with me to access it, someone must've had a climber or sticks of their own. Usually that little bit of deterrent is enough but not this time apparently.

That sucks. Why someone has to steal tree stands when they are reasonably priced is beyond me. Crazy world we live in today.

About to climb down from my quick sit before work. Thought I’d share. My wife walked the dogs around 3pm yesterday. The dogs started to air scent. She saw the target buck for my property bed next to what she believes might be an early fawn from this year. Said Doe was really small. Anyway, they were in the hedgerow between out perimeter trail and the neighbor’s corn. The doe got up and stretched and meandered into the corn. The large buck then followed. She said they never spooked. They really must be used to seeing her walk the dogs. My question is.... when was seeking and chasing? He has her locked down already? Wtf!!! I’m not having a good archery season.

And a doe at about 120.  Thought about the Biz lob in but realized I am just a crappy ny hunter.  

Depends on body size. If that’s a Sheep or Goat, you get to 90 and lob it in. Assuming standard whitetail doe, probably want to get to 60yds. If recurve, I think much closer but I don’t know much about those.

Ahhh man, I want to cry ... drew back my bow on my #1, big 10pt ... 30 yds and couldnt get a clear shot off before he took off after a doe...Man, that's the 1st time I've laid eyes on him this year ... he's put on some good mass and some height from last year! Cams only had him in velvet...now he's out of velvet ... thick, tall, tanish colored rack. He came in grunting behind 3 doe.

I had a crappy cable lock on my stickless set that got ganked a few years back...nothing but python cables now

Monkey climbing a tree and busting a cable lock is almost like earnin a $40 hang on I guess?

I'm prob going to regret this but I passed on a decent 8 at just under 30 yds...If I didn't see that 10 in the area earlier, I would have shot the 8. I'm second guessing that decision real hard right now. I think that lead doe the 10Pt was with was in heat or getting close. That 8Pt was sniffing all around where she was standing and ended up heading off in the direction she went...I think a good sign that the rut is finally turning on.

Every buck I’ve seen the last couple times out, has been by itself , in what I consider seeking phase .

Same here Larry. Over the weekend and on monday, I saw a number of bucks. Every one of them were just cruising alone. By this weekend the chasing will be in full swing! The first hot doe's will also be ramping up buck activity big time! Saturday is the 10th, what I call the "magic day". Looks to be right on time this year!!

I’ll be out all day “ The Magic Day” and bit the next few . At this point I’ll be tempted by the first decent buck .

Im with Paul,I’d prefer to use my compound , but can’t draw it , cross bow, big ,heavy, can’t hold it tight to tree for shots behind stand and so on . I will take a 30 yard shot though, compound I seldom shoot much over 20 .

The real key is I can actually shoot it .....

      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
