What a great day in the woods!  I saw eleven deer in total, including one seven pointer and two six pointers. I passed them all. Action all day long. The best part is when I got back to the house, there are fawn tracks on my deck stairs! Amazing what a deer will do for a pumpkin.

I have a quarter mile drive at my cabin and the snow is very deep and only made it a quarter of the way in. So I grab my Remington 783 out of the back seat and start walking and catch some movement to my left on the other side of the gully. I make my way to a pine tree and wait for the deer to come up. 3 doe come up @ 20 yards and have no idea that i am there. Then a big wide fat 6 pt comes up I have him at 20 yards my god damn round misfires. 2nd time this has happened. I’m pissed I just bought the gun last year. I’m thinking it’s a firing pin problem. Anyone else own this gun and have a problem like this?

I had that problem 3 years ago on a big 7. It was Remington core lok ammo. Jacked a 2nd round in and it fired. Haven't used that ammo since and no problems. Could be the ammo?

I want to come hunt with you . I would be happy with a six or seven

Years ago I would have been happy with them but I still have a couple of goods ones I'm looking for and I still have time to do it. If I don't fill a tag, oh well it's nice to have had the opportunity. Good luck to you!

same here,i haven't seen much for bucks besides that one bruiser,and from what i hear someone shot him from  vehicle this week. That is lame.

I've had a very tough season up to today, I even got to hear one of the big bucks get hit by a car the first week. As we all know, things can change fast!

Never hunted before. Don't know shit about the woods. Heading out to hunt with a crossbow tomorrow? Any tips? Am I gonna die?

Haha. Wear a little orange. I went out with my xbow this morning and had some deer moving. Low pressure in my one 5 acre spot... Trying to get my xbow's first kill. Good luck..

Hunting has been tough this year for my hunting partner, after I shot my buck opening week. He has seen a few small bucks, but passed them hoping for something a bit bigger.

I have been doing one man loops, through some very thick stuff trying to get one in front of him. Almost had a nice one go to him last weekend, but he circled me and went out the back door. 

So this morning I was back at it again. I'd walk till I found a good fresh track, set Gary up, then I'd circle around, trying to get the buck back to him. This was hard work, through heavy wet snow and very thick cover! I'm showing my age I guess, but it forced me to go slow! Exactly what needs to be done for this type of work.

First two times today, I got close, to two different bucks! One, a very nice nine point I got to within 30 yards, before he jumped up! But I have no buck tag! And he went the opposite way I wanted him to go! Dang it!!!

At this point I'm sweating, cut by thorns, breathing hard, and my feet are soaked! (broke through the ice in swamp). My lifelong friend and hunting partner said that's it, lets call it a day. I told him I cut a different fresh track while circling for the last one. Lets go one more time!

Third time was the charm!!! Put the buck 30 yards in front of him!! Was never so happy to hear him shoot!

Two happy, and sore friends tonight! We earned this one. Two hour drag to get him to a wheeler.

Hope to do it again next week for my grandson!20181201_152137.thumb.jpg.63b3827b86521766b030c9a7d28479ad.jpg20181201_141218.thumb.jpg.5bceaf1456033e7fa2e65b521338ca8c.jpg

      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
