Well , deer were on the move today by me I saw 7 deer total 4 bucks. A pretty young 6 that I had all day to shoot came straight toward my stand and stopped at around 10 yards. Let him walk, at @4:00 I had a war torn wide 8 come from the neighbors field stopped at 75 yards I had a brief neck shot but wasn’t comfortable waited for him to give me another chance and it wasn’t meant to be as he kept walking along stonewall with intermittent saplings in the way. With 3 in the freezer it’s all good happy to have some nice action. My son saw three does at his stand. Congrats to those that connected today.

Well maybe I wasn’t stupid for sitting through the frozen rain after all. He came sneaking out at about 4:15, I was seriously thinking about quitting a few minutes early as I am leaving for a work tri

He got the pass in bow and then I shot a smaller one.   No pass tonight.  Food it was.  Culver was right, the Barnes expanders tip them over quick. And for Nomads benefit no ATV.   I dragged him 30yds

I hunted white pond, lockwood and watershed.  They're local and convenient for me.  So when i don't want to take the trip to the Catskills it’s a quick ride.  

I hunt 3n also,  where is lockwood.... never heard of it.

Check the dep land websites. They list them all there. It’s in carmel. Make sure to check the regs. Some of them have Antler Restrictions and other rules in place.

 

https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dep/downloads/pdf/recreation/open-rec-areas-maps.pdf

 

 

DEP has instituted Quality Deer Management (QDM) principles in the Richardsville, West Branch Headwaters, Knapp Road, and Boyds Corner North Units in the towns of Kent and Putnam Valley. In the QDM hunting areas, the following enforceable conditions apply to all hunters over 17 years of age:

 

Only does may be harvested on the first two days of bow season, the first two days of regular gun season, and the first two days of muzzleloader season—no bucks may be taken on these days.

On all other days of the legal hunting season, bucks may be harvested if they have an antler spread of at least 15 inches in width and/or a minimum of three points on a side greater than one inch long, excluding brow tines. Throughout the hunting season in general, all hunters are encouraged to harvest more does than bucks to help with maintaining balanced herd populations and healthier forests.

Father in Law and I came back from camp tonight due to the forecast for the morning. Didn't want to drive the hour and 15 in the nasty stuff. Hunted Friday afternoon and I had 2 doe at less than 20yds but no tag for that area. 20 minutes later a lone deer snuck in on me at 30yds and presented several shot ops but no antlers, just nubs. FIL saw nothing Friday. Hunted all day today and put some miles on the boots. Ended up bumping a lone doe at 11:45am and that was the only deer seen all day. Legs are tired and I'm hitting the sack real soon. Debating on a morning hunt in the snow if I can drag myself out of bed. Congrats to all the successful hunters this weekend and good luck to those going out tomorrow.

3n.  Gonna sit for a couple hours before football/snow.  
 
as i pull into my parking spot there are two deer standing there.  This is after me complaining about not seeing anything the last two weeks in 3n.  I just had to laugh.

Good luck - they gotta move today with the weather coming in

How do you like the Taurus ? I'm considering a raging hunter in 44 for next year.

My buddy hunts with one.. accurate  as hell. I don't like sitting next to him at the range . If I do I have to double hearing protection. Why anybody has to put holes in a perfectly good barrel  is beyond me . I do like the grips .
