Saw about 6 or 8 doe being harassed by a fork for a couple hours this am.. Every time i saw a deer coming i would get disappointed because it was the same damn fork running the property all morning lol.. Couple big bucks on cam this week while i was at work... Don't think the does are quite hot enough yet in 8H...

Errr..no
Once again, the local weather report was seriously wrong. I lasted an hour. That must be an 85%+ failure rate in weather reporting this season. Possibly my worst season for weather to date also. Gonna head out and buy a new stand to cover the golden rod I think.

I’m going to guess you live south/SE of Buffalo? Or east of Lake Ontario?

bbD yesterday for me (sorry FSW), hopefully BBD today.

bb was a little heftier than I estimated.  Chest girth was 35", which means field dressed weight of 99 pounds and 57 pounds of edible meat per the PA chart.   I just pulled the balls to fry up for brunch.     The weather is perfect for it right now and he is hanging insulated garage.  Normally, those 6-month olds don't need much time for the rigor-mortis to come out, but big as he is, I will give him a couple of days.  I will probably skin on Monday night and process  Tuesday night.  That meat is like gold so I will definitely trim carefully and try to get the full 57 pounds.      

The morning hunt at my folks place was partially successful in that I found my bolt and I think I can save/rework the mechanical broadhead to try on a third deer.  I also saw a solid 2.5 year buck at 8:15 am (looked like a compact 8-point rack), but he did not quite give me a good enough shot to take.  The best he gave me looked like a 50/50 and I need 90 % to launch a bolt.   I could only take that cold wind until 9:15 am this morning.   I will get back over there tomorrow.   I have some more comfortable stand/blinds to ride out the high winds at home this afternoon.

Mmmmm balls for lunch. Sounds delicious! I'm honestly not sure if your serious or kidding. I try to get as much meat off my deer as I can but the nuts are a bit too far for me.

Well it happened this morning. Was windy when I got In the stand. Then at about 7 am it went calm. Looked across the creek and up the side hill and saw a good sized deer walking within 10 yards of my buddy’s stand. Oh did I mention he slept in this morning and didn’t come? Looked through binos and it had a decent rack. He is about 200 yards away or better. I hit the grunt call and he turns and starts that bristled stiff legged walk towards me. I had my crossbow. Seemed like forever for him to cover that ground but he came in a straight line towards me. Got to the path I walked I. And started sniffing twigs I had rubbed against walking in. But he kept coming. 25 yards and he turned broadside to walk up a path. Shot. He bolted for aboutaadbd06612fed72631535527b5d89340.jpg7dd30152e60caebf22d8b5a5f2f10964.jpg 40 yards through the thick crap and I saw him stand for a few seconds and then walk off. Gave him and hour and he was down about 15’ from the last I saw him. b4de02475a3673f00a30962973db6f91.jpg

Stud!   And decent buck too.  lol

I saw a doe this morning trailed by a nice buck. Closest shot was 60 yards through some saplings. I passed. I don’t even really call that a shot.  Grunted at him but he paid me no heed. I assume he was like I got my woman.. come take her if you dare. He disappeared behind a hill. Nothing more after this.  Good job to those who stuck out the cold wind.

I normally don’t agree with wolc on much, however last year we saved the balls off my buck more to mess with my niece’s and nephew. Any why we fried them and they were actually really good! That being said I did not save them agin this year

I shot one button ever thought it was a mature doe...nearly 100 dressed...another reason to fill doe tags early 

some are 2 months older than the youngest fawns and really can pack it on now.

      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
