Ground froze enough to get this hut into position today. It’s bolted to the trailer for easy movement and a little more height . It sits at the #1 ( closer to woods actually) in photo of land , that field will be corn or beans and sees a lot of movement .
Itll be leveled out more in spring .

Love the idea.....I thought I read somewhere if you do that you need to Jack it up or remove the wheels? Is does that just pertain to something with a motor and wheels?

The farmer / land owner offered to put it up on phone poles for us . For now it’s staying on trailer , the farm has others built out of old sprayers and such ,that have wheels, no,issue so,far .

I’ve had my eye on this buck since last year. He really blew up this year, and I’ve been watching him since July. I had one close encounter with him on October 1, but he stayed just out of bow range. I got many pics of him through the first 3 weeks of the season, but I never laid eyes on him again. For 3 weeks he disappeared. I thought he was dead. Then I headed upstate for gun season and I got pics of him 3 days in a row, while I was 300 miles away. Figures. 

He disappeared from my cams once again, only showing up once or twice before making an appearance on Christmas morning. I didn’t hunt too much in December after going at it hard in October and November. I was worn out. After seeing him on Christmas, it lit the fire again. I typically enjoy hunting the late season as they usually become quite predictable in their movements. But not him. It turned into quite the chess match for a the next couple of weeks. I finally saw him again on January 6, the first day of shotgun here. He came out to the field at 180 yards. I let him walk. Since Christmas, I’ve been hunting every weekend and even getting out after work now and then. I got another pic of him on January 18, and he was grouped up with a few other bucks and even sparring with one of them. I knew he was big, but watching him spar with this other buck really put it into perspective on how much bigger he was. 

I hunted this morning without seeing him and planned on hunting tonight and tomorrow night. I was getting burned out and decided that if I didn’t get him by tomorrow, I was going to pack it in. At about 4:30 or so, 3 small bucks came out of the corner of the field 20 yards from me. They had all shed their racks. This was my biggest fear that he would show up having dropped his rack. Soon after, a nice 2 year old 8 pt joined the party. He was in the last pics that I got with my buck last week. Then a small spike showed up. I got into shooting position behind the tree that I was using for cover. Once the 8 came out, I just knew that my buck was going to show up finally. Sure enough, after several minutes, he walked out at 20 yards. I let him have it and watched him go down in the field. Talk about coming down to the wire. I set my mind on harvesting this buck, and without the use of my cell cams, it probably wouldn’t have been possible. 689F84AD-4B6C-4768-90A6-B1C8ECEFE30D.thumb.jpeg.499ac03f9f6df619ae96d0499b241663.jpeg I’m pretty sure this was him last year. 

Last week.

We need a 2019 "Live From The Woods".

Thought maybe with the cold front & high winds coming through they may be moving. Grabbed the caller and went out for an hour before dark with no responses. I guess I'll just have to sit on the deck since we have tracks all over the yard.

      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
