LIVE From The Woods 2019 - Lets hear stories and see some pictures!

Heading out to the peninsula my buddy shot the 178” beast on. There’s been a stud ten pointer and a big seven bedding down there so I’m setting up where the cover pinches down and my buddy is on the opposite side where it funnels down to a oak ridge. Here’s to hoping for some last minute action... good luck to everyone out there! It’s been a blast following this forum and interaction with you all

January Deer Hunting Opportunity in Central New York

From January 11-31, 2020, there will be an antlerless deer season open in the Deer Management Focus Area (DMFA) in Tompkins County. To participate, hunters must register with the DMFA Program and download a permit, carcass tags and a hunting activity log from the DMFA web page. Registered hunters may take up to two antlerless deer per day using any hunting implement that is legal during any other deer season at the site where they are hunting.

The 60,000-acre DMFA was created in 2012 to help communities in the Ithaca area address problems caused by deer overabundance. It allows harvest of up to two antlerless deer per day throughout all the general deer hunting seasons, in addition to the January DMFA season. Hunters must carry a DMFA permit and DMFA carcass tags while they are hunting during the January season. They must also record their DMFA deer hunting activity and harvests on their hunting activity log and submit it to DEC by February 7. Additional information, including DMFA boundary descriptions and a printable map, is available on the DEC website.

Finally settled in. No tracks on the way in but beautiful setting right next to the genesse river for the last hoorah. Not expecting to see many deer but good likelihood any I see will be shooters. It’s been a great season regardless of what happens tonight

Last chance Louies, let’s get’r done! Moved to a new spot for the last two hours. A few fresh tracks nearby so I’m hopeful.

Just took the puppy for a walk in Braddock Bay, the Rose Marsh unit. Came within 40 feet of a big coyote. My dog took off after it. Probably thought it was another dog and wanted to play. Fortunately the coyote didn't want to play and disappeared into the brush. That was a little too close for my comfort..

Braddock Bay, the Rose Marsh

Spent many summer afternoon/evenings anchored offshore from Rose's Marsh with the partying flotilla.

Closing out the year in the same stand I started it in on October 1st when it was 80 degrees out. I had one of those years when everything went my way. Now we have 9 months of planning and prepping. Looking forward to next year!

I feel like a I learned enough from treeguy last year to give it a go on my own.  I am sure there will be a continued learning curve but as excited for the dogs as I was for deer season.
