Coming back from the range about one this afternoon and there was a huge ten point, thirty-forty feet from the road just thrashing the ground with feet and antlers! I pulled over to watch and two more trucks pulled over, that deer looked up like, you want a piece of me? c'mon!! turned and walked away with a half a bushel of dead grass in his antlers! The Rut is on!!!

Every place but my house, and tree stand. This morning at 7am There was three doe, one 6 point and one nice 8 point in yard at apple tree just eating LOL, GRRRR, fed dogs, let them outside and the deer bolted, called them back inside after 15 minutes, Then two more deer came right back to the tree eating LOL..

I hope so, slowest Oct in ten yrs. here. Only one fork and a fawn in my usual busy stands. Be it the warm weather or the poachers no fun to not see nothin.

 

[Robin]

It has been pretty slow and it seems the rut is starting later and slower than usual, but thing are picking up. I'm seeing a lot more deer in general and way more bucks in the last week.
Good luck!!!!!!

My teacher showed me a video of a 12 point he saw in the woods. He was about 45 yards away so he didn’t take the shit! Sucks so much!

 

[whauburger]

I hate when I am excited and prepared and don't get to take the shit. Ruins the whole day.

 

[Robin]

Don't let a lack of movement get in the way of a good hunt.

A good shit is important when it's a 12 point!

 

[whauburger]

Clean exit, no splash, and feels great.

Second year in a row, big buck runs across the road right in front of me while I'm on my way to vote. Their little head has taken over!!! Next year I'm mounting an arrow to the front bumper!!

Xbowed him today.

Looks tender to me.

 

[Airborneguy]

Giving bow one last shot tomorrow. I picked up 2 more DMP’s for my favorite spot so I figured why not? I’ll be giving away a lot of meat if I get another one!

Patiently waiting for the first day of the regular season. I'll be back in New Yorkistan Nov. 15th, a two day trip up to Old Forge and then deer hunting in Harpursville.

Cheater

 

[whauburger]

Cheating never tasted so good.

Archery is over for me. Nothing moving this morning at all. I left the woods around 11. I hate half days because of the drive, but I didn’t feel like lingering alone until the afternoon for more of the same.

While I didn’t see the most deer I’ve seen during an archery season, this is my first time taking two. I’m very happy with how it played out.

Now let’s get those rifles out for round 2!!

 

[whauburger]

Where abouts are you hunting Airborne? A lot of activity from what I hear today from guys I know....My old man got a small buck this am also. I have been at work all day so your no deer beats my no deer day.

 

[Airborneguy]

Wurtsboro.

Today was only the second day out that I didn’t see anything. I did take a buck there two weeks ago. I had been consistently seeing two does every time out but I guess they moved. Hopefully they didn’t get hit by cars. I know no one else hunts there. Over 10 years, never seen another hunting once.

 

[whauburger]

Only about 15 minutes away from where I am at

 

[Bushmaster]
