Back home with grandson. We were both cold! Definitely in the right spot this morning, as everything to our front was covered in fresh tracks. They must have come through an hour or so before we got there. We even followed a large, wide set of buck tracks for quite a ways. He learned some more about how they move. Saw a few massive rubs too. About 80 yards from where we were set up. He was the only one carrying a rifle today. Told him as we moved, to always be off my left shoulder, and be ready to shoot. He was right there, even picking our way through some thick stuff! He is so far ahead of what I was at his age. He will be a great woodsman.

Not braving the bitter cold tomorrow. Will rest up for Friday and the weekend. Zach still has time to get it done! I'll do all I can to help him do just that. 

Best of luck to all heading out tomorrow! 

And a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Saw nothing, had a little snow squall come through.  It made it dark out, so I was hoping for some movement.  Back out in the AM.

Thank you! I cannot wait for my time, if my dad is not actually hunting that day, I want to send a selfie with the buck to his phone to surprise him! He will without a doubt be happier, and more excited than I will be, and I will be crazy excited!

i will be out tomorrow, painful cold, but I did sit a full day in the Adirondacks last year at our cabin in 9 degrees.  

Have a Happy Turkey day...

That was one of "those" sits.  Deer were 100 yards away in the pines, swarms of print over top of my entry tracks.  Jerks.  3 squalls dropped about an inch each time.  Who needs snow camo?  Didn't even take off my bibs for the ride home.  Only thing I saw was a Diddy Bird.

      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
