I’m definitely not shooting a doe now , my buddy got it done on the last morning out West , 6x6 Elk . He eats like one deer a year, so I said I’ll take all he doesn’t want , I’ll pay my share for processing and shipping .

Nice!

Bigger bucks are starting to pay attention to does in my area of 9h....have a group of doe that visits the cut corn every morning and night. Yesterday evening a mature 2.5 8 or 9pt. That we have on cam throughout the fall showed his face in the field. He took notice and milled around eating but wasn't bumping the ladies around yet.

This is the hardest part of the year in alot of ways.  You have to wait a whole nother 10 days for this lull to be over and that magical time of year to start.  Meanwhile your hindbrain is all "Just take some time off and get in the woods!"

the rain is a blessing really. I want to sneak out some afternoon but really it isn't worth it and when it's pouring it doesn't make me feel guilty.

Saw one deer not sure if it was a buck or doe. If the rain stays lite I’m going to head back in around 3.

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one!! I’ve been “taking a break” from the woods and it’s killing me...But when I thought about it, I realized I’ve only been taking a break for 1 day!

Hello everyone!

I’ve been reading this thread for years now and just decided to make an account. I live in both northern Saratoga County and Old Forge, NY. 
 

If anyone has ever been to Old Forge you’d know town is basically a deer sanctuary. They are everywhere and you can pretty much walk up and pet them. Makes it easy to watch for activity changes during the season. Just had 4 does in the yard for 20 minutes or so and a little 4 pointer ran in and harassed one for a few minutes before chasing her off. 
 

Makes it tempting to hit the hills after work today and see if there are any other early bloomers out there. 
 

Good luck everyone!

Well my son is hanging with mom at home so I jumped in the marsh.   I guess the weather app’s 0% chance precipitation was referring only to snow.  Hope it stops drizzling soon. It should.

Thanks Dave.  You know what I am waiting for.   Likely won’t see a thing, but if I do .....

Beauty of a spot there...is that a fresh scrape on the right or did you make that?
I would think they have numerous runs through that- hoping they (or maybe he!) hit the right one for you

Bit too mucky in this area for scrapes.  I tend to find them in the dryer sections.   
 

but yes lots of good trails.  Picking the right one is the tough part.

Wasn’t going to bow hunt this year, but decided to sit in my “nose bleed” stand this afternoon

You’ve only got one arrow? @Bionic

I leave that quiver on, but the other 2 arrows are behind me.  Its a simple quiver to remove, but it always loosens up, Pretty annoying, need a small dab of loctite.

Out for the last hour. 51 and dead quiet.

Was just in Old Forge last week. Always deer all over. A lot of folks don’t honor the feeding ban there. Cool to see all the tame deer though.
