It finally happened and it wasn't a cartoon! I have been hunting a piece of state land since opening day and today I was going to take the stand down and move to another property for the rest of the week where I have a doe tag.

I lowered my gun down. I turned to my left where the terrain drops precipitously down a series of ledges. I was about to grab my ladder when Insaw him walking 80 yards away parallel my position. I pulled the gun up as quickly as I could and squeezed off a shot. I knew he was hit because I saw him about 100 yards away walking slowly but no second shot opportunity.

I thought I saw him bed down. Just then I saw another hunter walking towards me and he stopped on the ledge right where I last saw the buck. He stood there for a while before continuing his walk towards me. About 75 yards away he turned and walked away.

I climbed down and went to the shot location and for as far as I could see there was a blood trail. I followed constant blood until I jumped him after 400 yards of tracking.

I backed out and went to our cabin. Returned with some guys from camp and started over. We tracked him another 300 yards before finding him about 200 yards from the road on the other side of the property. Easiest mountain drag ever! All down hill. 7120349020f7895e9a9ce418c18b0cd2.jpg&key=e532345704b81422fff94bf330ba47c8b068770be71f501da2ed35d3188c22a98da0d1b869003e58fd2c79e4db8cbcb2.jpg&key=460ac3055b86eb5632f596ee25db2c65d83d7a02be9acb704738ff3030f2e55387f50556ea9ebe0f9d6af2c4d6d68c08.jpg&key=703d14d0c4f883f79f479064e5b7f16f73c80a33ce9279a771b7db4abeeb4599

Just got home. Tracked him for a mile and a half and caught up with him. Took a shot but didn’t connect. He crossed a road and headed into more thick shit. I coulnt Go anymore so we backed off. Gonna try getting ahold of the land owner and get after him in the morning. 

I got it a great look at him. It’s not the 8, it’s the big 10. I have No trail cam pics of him that I know Of but people around here know him. He’s in real bad shape. Could run a little but was hardly walking. Track showed him falling down every hundred feet or so. He’s still bleeding heavily. I cant Believe he’s not dead with how much blood loss there’s been.

WNY fingers crossed you get permission to access. Sounds like he’s about done. GL!

 

From the blood in the bed is it possible gut? The overnight may be best

man,i do hope you will be able to go after him in the a.m. It is amazing how much blood they can loose and still go. Resilient critters. Best of luck tomorrow.

Decided to try an afternoon sit to test the snow. Saw two come out just before dark and fed in the cut corn two fields away. Saw a flock of turkeys in the same field. Unfortunately the  fields are 400+ yards away and I don't have access. Maybe another day. At least the snow is getting manageable.

Last update for the night. I got Permission from the landowner to continue the track. He has a large property and allows no hunting, so my buck should be safe from people in there. We pushed him a long way today and after watching him in the ravine, I really Think he’s gonna lay up and die if we leave him be. It’s gonna be a sleepless night, but I’ll be back after him in the morning.

Thanks. No not gut. If you look close you can see it’s in the front, probably hit him a little forward and single lung. It’s bleeding out of both sides.

Sounds like he has got to be dead. I hope you find him and the coyotes don't. Good Luck!

      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
