These does aren’t going to jump in my freezer by themselves.  Going to sit in redneck blind this morning.  Who’s with me out here ? 
Maybe next weekend. Going to Quebec City Thursday to Monday for a nice mini vacation

Heading in for a ground hunt this morning. Would love to see some antlers!
 

Sat for a hour or so and got bored.  So did what I enjoy the most.  Walked around and followed some tracks in the snow.  Got about 40 yards from a 6 point but no shot (with my bow).  Reset on another pair of tracks and came across another 6 pt and a doe bedded down.  But spooked them trying to get close enough.  Overall was a lot of fun and learn more every time I do that.  Would have had one with a gun, but not allowed on this property.   Had to leave and head to work.

Tomorrow will be spending the day on state land and should have better opportunities with my 7mm-08!

Perfect weather this morning in 8x. Slight breeze in my face, steady snow, and about 20 degrees. Felt real good about my chances. Sat from 630 til about 10. Had 3 does move through about 150yds in front of me headed uphill, but no shot through the timber. Then got down and still hunted for an hour or so but didn't see anything. In the car now warming up and grabbing a snack before the afternoon.

Looked for the story in the harvest thread. Need the story behind this shot!

She walked up and I shot her in the head lol no story . Or it was a Monday morning there was only 5 hunters in the area  .it was a bit breezey so I knew I had to hunt into the wind but had to be very careful knowing that the deer would facing me and watching for me . So I moved slow and kept my eyes open . Saw another  hunter heading around a hill into the woods knew any deer on that hill would smell him and try to beat feet out of there. So I made my way to the edge .saw 6 does coming out . I whistled and they stopped I picked one of the bigger ones and one in a great open shooting lane . Behind them was water ( nothing to worry about if I missed her head) so I aimed for the head. And blam I got a big sexy girl .

Congratz on the harvest I know you hunt hard. I still am not a fan of an intentional head shot. Less room for error. I have had to finish off two deer others have wounded with their lower jaws shot off. Lot of suffering from an errant shot. I have no idea if the original shooters were shooting for the head or not.

Something has to give.. no deer this afternoon. Just those doe this morning. I caught up to another guy who I knew was on the property and he also didn't see anything. No tracks, no bumped deer, none bedded. This is really unusual for this property.

I've got about 60 hours in this season and can count the deer I've seen on one hand with room to spare.

How about the unintentional one?

I made it out for an afternoon sit after the wind died down a bit. Didn't see anything until after hours or much sign. I  thought I might catch them coming out of the thick stuff and they did but it was after hours so I let them go. No horns at all.

      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
