2020 Season (Biz)

[BizCT]

12/3: dad hunted dark to dark and saw nothing.

I returned to 3S with bow to check cam. Hunted 245pm - dark. At 330pm i saw 5 does/fawns (see screenshot of video I took). I watched them for 10min and then 10min after that a young 6pt came through nose to the ground following their exact route. Then at 420pm right before sunset a red fox came in. It came in quick and was under me at under 10yds. I waited for it to get a little farther out to draw and not see me. I stood up out of my chair took 2 steps and drew. The fox stopped and I shot. I aimed center mass. I heard a “pop” and it trotted away slowly. I felt good on the shot, checked my arrow and not much blood on BH or shaft, but the fletching had blood so must be a pass through. It got dark quick but I was able to follow the trickles of blood through a bunch of blow downs. I thought each time it would be there. After 150yds I hit a swamp with deeper water. Figured that was a good spot to stop in the dark. I’ll go back tomorrow to pickup the blood.

Redd Foxx Down

Good luck on the fox in the morn. You'll find him.  No shot on the six point?  

Back in the woods and making it happen!

He’s was 50yds. I wouldn’t have shot anyway. He looked like a 1.5. I’m nearly certain it was this deer. I took a pic of 10/17 when driving in.

Yeah def too far and that's a promising young one for next year.  I shot a 6 this year but he was a 2.5.   You might have another nice 8 there next season.

Update - checked today and didn’t find the fox. Was able to advance the track but once I got into the swampy water I couldn’t find it. All in all, the fox only went like 60yds as the crow flies but I tracked 150yds following blood through all the zig zags it made.

Sounds like a job for fox search

Don’t think the deer search guys let their dogs run fox, otherwise I would have called.

I was bustin your chops....You would probably need a good foxhound to have a chance and that would be doubtful if it headed for water. Amazes me how far they go sometimes after being hit.

A few years ago my dad shot a nice bug yote with deer shotgun slug and tracked its blood literally 2 miles before the trickle stopped.

12/11: dad hunted dark to dark and saw 3 deer in afternoon. 2 he couldn’t see heads and the 3rd was a young buck at least a 4pt maybe 6 with brows. He checked 1 cam and had this nice bobcat on it.

That’s a beautiful coat.  Looks like a leopard.

As awesome and gorgeous as bobcats are I don't think I'd ever shoot one, personally. Other than getting a mount or hide out of the deal I have no real reason to kill one I guess. I'd love to see them in the woods though!

Dad didn’t see anything today. He hunted 32 of the possible 37 days between xbow and shotgun season. His First buck-less season since 2013. He normally hunts late season with xbow or new ML, but with my brother closing on a house and helping him, along with selling my grandma’s condo, he’s calling it quits.

I was there a few years ago during bear season and I saw dogs everywhere. We were running them over literally with the guide trucks. So many.

12/21: bow Hunted 3S for the morning till 930am and watched a doe for 90min pawing at the ground looking for food. Took some video. No bucks seen. Cam had does, small buck, fox, coyote and bobcat.

First buck-less for Dad and I since 2013, but still a great season. He saw a few nice bucks in 3N (not killed by neighbors either), and I saw my first ever 10pt in 3S and a nice 8 as well. In all I got two 10’s, two 8’s, and 7 on camera in 3S. I seen several red fox and wounded one, but couldn’t find it. Dad saw a bobcat. And thanks to covid I didn’t hunt with the shotgun the entire season. I did rifle hunt 2 days in WNY but saw nothing except 1 red fox.
