[GreeneHunter]

Catskills, yesterday, I did not see 1 scrape or rub. nothing. last year I didn't see any till december. It's just too warm.

I agree ....too warm ! Its time I believe to have 2 guys on stand and 1 or 2 guys pushing or the deer will never get up and switch to nocturnal . Just my opinion .

Saw a few doe today earlier this morning.my son saw 7 or 8 doe,no horns at all today.By late morning nothing was moving got real warm.I hunt 3h.

[RifleSharpShot]

ive been saying its going to be a late/messed up year..Sucks

[wooly]

Wooly, that's where I was Blakeley Road. Plenty of old untended scrapes and rubs. Like you say it died right before the opener.

Heck, you're right down the road from me....we probably hunt the same bucks.

[ELMER J. FUDD]

Looks like the rut's on.

[WNYBuckHunter]

LMAO now thats funny, I dont care who you are...

[NYbuck50]

It is too hot in the Hudson Valley, I think they all went nocturnal, I see signs allover the place just no deer to be seen during the day. I see the does start moving when I leave after legal shooting hours, plus tons of road kills....oh well, we can't control the nature....

I think the heat is really slowing things down during daylight hours, my plan of attack has been setting up between doe areas and buck bedding areas super early, and trying to catch them coming back

[First-light]

Brother in law had two huge rubs made by his stand last saturday night, something still going on.

[hunter]

Second rut, maybe?

[WNYBuckHunter]

The second "phase" of the rut is going to be coming up in the next week or two. Scrapes, etc should start opening up again.

[Paula]

that is too funny

[ny hunter]

Showed the entire office,could'nt stop laughing.

IMO - I think the mature bucks are locked down with does. If your not seeing deer it's cause you haven't found the does. If you see does a buck or 2 will be with them or following not far behind.

I think you nailed it. I live in Greene County (WMU 4S) and Sunday at 3:00 in the afternoon the big ten pointer that I posted pics of back in October crossed the road fifty yards from our house with his nose right up a doe's butt! Middle of the day, 60 degrees out and he was out dogging her like there was no tomorrow. Find the does, you'll find the bucks!

[UpStateRedNeck]

I laughed so hard I got looks here at the office. Friggin white tails.

[peas247]

that video is awesome!

[pistolp71]

LMAO! That's friggin hysterical! Anybody know where that was??

[Four Season Whitetail's]

Very funny thats for sure!!! The chick behind the camera needs to either go on a diet or go back and buy another pack of smokes!The video shows 2 things. One is how dangerous a whitetail could be(if he would have took that little rack and really started lettin her have it and number two would be how easy it can be to kill yearling bucks. lol Cant stop laughin though!!!
