Around 9 I had A big buck with a very dark rack  step out. I waited Until he was in a shooting lane and pulled the trigger. He face planted and then got up and took off into some thick stuff. It looked like a good hit, so I went To see the spot where I shot Him. Found 6 places where he had fallen down and was bleeding heavy. Ended up tracking about 300 yards and decided to back out. Now I’m sitting at home driving myself nuts. My brother in law is going to come over in an hour or two and we will get back on the trail. Here’s a pic of one of the spots I found. I should Have backed out immediately but I didnt Think he would go far. I’m pretty sure this buck is one of the big 10s I’ve had around here. If it’s not him, it’s another big 8 I’ve seen. Those are the only 2 with really dark racks.

Good luck WNY.  You've got snow and plenty of daylight.  Get that buck!

Ok so now I'm really curious. 

First I was with you and thinking why not put the left glove on, you know so your outfit matches. you dont want to look silly while out deer hunting. But here you are saying you carry an extra glove out to the tree stand with zero intentions on using it except to drop it from the stand to provide the members here with a few moments of entertainment. I'm so confused!  

Hey, its what I do lol

actually, a family friend is moving to Texas, so I bought some odds, and ends for hunting off him.  2 tree stands, 2 tree stand umbrellas, and that pair of gloves.  I got home, and tossed them into my backpack.  As comfused by this post as you were, Ivwas probably about as equally confused as to why that(left) glove wasn't fitting my hand for haha

Those look like deep blood spots man, like it's just pouring out of him.  You did the right thing, 2 hours won't hurt him.  Good luck, I know that worry feeling all too well.  Hope it works out for you better than it did for me.

Hope WNY gets his buck, but it reminds me of something that happened one week ago that I didn't have time to share. Check out these photos. A neighbor shot a deer and this was the blood trail. We tracked for about 400 yards or more through ravines and thick wood. Eventually we found the last of 4 bloody beds and then tracks leading into a large open field, no more blood. He was sure their would be a dead buck after a 50 yard track. 3 days of searching revealed no carcass. The beast appears to have survived. In all likely-hood it was a muscle shot, which can bleed profusely at first before clotting kicks in. I never saw a blood trail like it that ended in no deer recovered.

That looks similar to the 2200 yards of tracking I did a week ago, but I had blood spray all over the left side too.  Make me wonder, as I have been every hour of every day since, if I just sliced the back strap and single lunged him.  I'll just keep beating myself up about until I shoot a big boy.

So saturday after taking 2 shots at my 8...and missing...i didnt hunt sunday until.....i was eating a grilled cheese sandwich looking out my back door and see movement in the brush 30 feet from my deck. Get the monocular to check his head and sure enough it is the 8 i missed. I think he was mocking me. I had the gun by the door but didnt/wouldnt shoot anyway (dont consider that hunting/earning) it. So finish lunch and get dressed snd go out to my other blind(1st sit in it this year) and a bit later had 2 does eating about 20 feet away. Bambis...mother must have gotten shot. Didnt shoot them...yes i have a doe tag. Still hunted rest of day and saw 3 more(momma and her 2 litgle ones). No didnt shoot any of them either. I have my rules...ie i dont shoot bambis or momma with them. Some say its s stupid rule...maybe it is....but i follow it anyway. At least im still seeing deer. Out in groundblind 2 today waiting on the taunter.

Saw 9 by noon, so I decided to stay in the stand all day. Haven't seen a thing since noon! Didn't pack any food, so nothing is safe come dinner time!

 

Sheesh, I must be borderline starving when even squirrels start to look appetizing! LOL

Glad to help.  You can pay me in meatloaf!

Unfortunately, had to rush out of the woods,  Not sure I will be out tomorrow at this point

      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
