good luck I will be counting the days till the 18 of Oct...

Had one of my 3D targets broken up by a buck making a scrape, he for some reason did not like the bedded 3D buck and pushed him about 30 ft, nocked off one horn and pushed the center out of the target. Then made a scrape and made sure his big fat feet were all over the scrape, also found a fresh rub line. This is very early for central NY, is this a sign of a early rut ????

i found a big rub last week, very early for any signs but sometimes they get fdired up by a cold snap.

[Izzy]

Ive heard of a lot of scraping in the Dack foothills already.

[ishiwannabe]

No scrapes by me as of last week when I went out for squirrels and stumping. A lot of sign otherwise.
I cant wait...I have already seen a number of decent bucks I wouldnt mind designating as my first trad deer.
Good luck guys.

[mrgreenhead]

Well im sorry to say i missed a doe at 22 yrds tonight she spun and safely ducked my arrow. Bummed a little but there more time left to hunt so thats my last miss for the year !!!!My friend said i betcha wished you a had a compound and i said no way in #### i want to shoot one of those things  id rather miss a deer a year .

I fly into Syracuse on Sunday and drive up to Fort Drum to see my son. I shipped out my gear last week. We'll get a couple of days in the woods chasing deer before time runs out and he heads to Iraq. It will be an emotional rollercoaster for sure.

I would appreciate any tips as it will be my first go at NY Whitetails.


Good Luck to all of you this season.

It great to be retired and just take the time to have fun with the deer season. I made a new ground blind yesterday that is next to a big field of corn and may still be standing on opening day. Lots of tracks in the corn edges. The other side of the blind is a small stream and heavy woods made up of pine and maple. I used burlap camo on tree sides and the other side is open but has a rock wall that when sitting  you can only see my head theu the trees.
The shot I will get is down hill of about a max of 20 yards on the rock wall side the corn side is flat and level and I am less that 15 yards from the corn.  Now I may not even see a deer in this setup, but it sure seems to be a great morning stand as the sun comes up it will be first to get the sun light, I may have to have a bottle of tanning oil, a good book, the fm radio
and must make sure I do carry in the recurve and arrows...

good luck to all and have a safe season

Bill

[adkmountainken]

anyone that can make it is welcome to hunt with us on Sat and Sun, just bring a good pair of waders as a lot of b.s. will be shot!

[Izzy]

Good Luck, Guys! In the Northern Zone... Can't wait for Oct. 18 to get here. Bow and Broadheads are tuned. Putting a coat of wax and buffing my bow tomorrow for the season (diminish any wax smell before opening day). Then some last minute scouting.
