Late season i like to see how far i can walk in a straight line without seeing deer tracks ,while playing one of my favorite late season games i ran into them.

2 12 man drives at Gman’s today. I first pushed for the first then watched on the second. Sweated my azz off pushing in the snow and hills. Nice to sit the second , not gonna lie. These guys know what they’re doing. My first large group drive and loved it. Saw maybe this one early that went up large hill and then possibly back down. Saw big doe at light speed but no shot. Someone took out his front legs and he was still moving fast . Another heart shot so 3 for 3 this year in that aspect.  Samantha n I going back in morning and hoping to get her on the gun. Button buck again.  Went from crappy year to great eating year fast.

I came upon these odd markings today in the woods....wasn’t sure what to do so I decided to turn around and head back the way I came. I wish I knew someone who could give me elite hunting advice in the fly.

Do you want to hunt where they've been, or where they are? I'll hang up and listen to your response.

Picked up some tracks at the back of the property and followed them til I eventually caught up with 4 doe , the biggest of the group offered the first shot so I took it . It wasnt as text book as we perfer and follow up shots were taken as I found her still alive . I didnt want to walk right up and head shot her for fear of her bolting so I sent a second shot that was sure to finish her but I still walked up and ended it as quick as I could.

 

You forgot to mention my prediction, and no snow shoes used!

I did this in the morning. I noticed a rub that got hit over night... A big rub. I'll get a pic Monday when I go after this thing. I followed the tracks not to where it went but where it came from. I found 10 doe beds and found the spot where this buck started following these does. I'll stay out of there tomorrow, but I'll be back Monday when everyone is at work. I know the area a little bit

Well a week later my back is finally back to almost normal ugh. Tomorrow my son and I will head to the land and seek them out. 2 man deer drives!! I really could use one more deer. Hopefully we can make it happen!

Up and getting ready for the last day of my 2020 season. After this need the snow to melt so I can get after some grouse and rabbits.

Yesterday afternoon at closing time I pulled my primer, lowered my gun with the haul rope then sat there for a couple minutes ruminating.   I turned to my right and a doe and fawn are walking out of the pines. They pass by at around 30 yards......completely safe.  
 

Next year things will could different with the proposed time changes.

Last hunt of 2020 for me. Lots of tracks cut in the snow, and a bedding area on the hill. Hopefully I can catch something moving in the next few hours. 

[turkeyfeathers]

Daughter n I headed down to Gman’s for another drive. Good luck everyone who’s going out.

Bailed yesterday morning after seeing single digits.

Out this am in 8F in a stand that’s had a long break but all tracks are in the orchard. Will probably do a pm sit there, light snow and breezy.

Well, that puts a cap on the 2020 season for me. Not the most successful season I’ve ever had, but it was my first season hunting New York. I had a lot of fun, I learned a lot, and can even say that I killed a deer on my first hunt in New York with my bow kill. I appreciate all of the advice I’ve received on the forum, and am looking forward to next season.
