Because we all know with 100% certainty that the day you take the break or miss a sit is the very day the buck of a lifetime stops by.  

I have a funny story just about that.  Two season's ago during bow season, the last Sunday before gun season opened, one of the local churches was doing a law enforcement appreciation mass and breakfast, so I skipped bowhunting that day to attend mass and the breakfast with two other guys from the PD.  It was a lot of fun and a bunch of kids from the congregation enjoyed checking out the police car afterwards.  Well, the next day, Monday I worked a half day to do a PM hunt and when I checked my trail cam, one of the 10 Pointers I was after that year came in and bedded down about 20 yards from my tree stand and was bedded there for over 3 hours.

I’m frigging tired, walked just shy of 9 miles in over a foot of snow. Followed a smoking hot buck track for about half a mile but after following him I knew he wasn’t a shooter and kept going with my loop never got on a big track but saw 3 does and a little basket. Woods were pretty, it was a good day. Sitting here google mapping a spot to head to tomorrow since all my normal spots have too much snow to track. dacebdb28a168d5012130ac744bef2d9.jpgae0580e65536c394a4af25fd58cbf4b5.jpg995943df8f07b643f8e2c439888be150.jpg

So I see a bunch of posts "I wasn't in my stand that day and the buck I was waiting for showed up on camera the day I wasn't there!" Coincidence?? Maybe the deer are smarter than we think....

I knew a guy who was after a specific buck  at one point in time.  Well he had a cam up viewing what he would see, as if he were actually in the tree hunting.  He kept a climber on that tree, well he would hunt, not see the the buck, miss a day here and there, buck would walk by.  Turns out this deer was only coming through if he saw the climber at the base of the tree.  It was a neat story to hear told, not surprising to many I assume, but worth a hear. I THINK if I remember correctly he had put a different climber up in a separate tree, and took him, or watched the buck one day since that original climber was obviously at the base of a separate tree

That was my point exactly. I think when deer notice anything out of the ordinary on their normal travel routes (sight or scent) they will adjust.

That cable crossing over the river reminds me of a place in the Adirondacks I use to hunt

Isn't it the truth in life and in hunting?  We all hope to bag a T-Rex of a buck, we plan, prepare, put the time in...and sometimes it just doesn't work out like we dream it would.  That's the fun part of hunting- we wait for the surprise of that buck to present itself in a perfect scenario.  First and foremost we are sportsmen and women who respect the wily whitetails that we hunt. The anticipation of a successful harvest is what we put the time in and endure all kinds of weather and sometimes real boredom for. Waiting for the moment that the Lord may smile down on us and send a deer by us to enjoy, whether to shoot it or just be amazed by what a smart animal they usually are.

Congratulations to all the successful hunters that have connected so far- it ain't over yet, till the fat lady sings!

      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
