I'm with you Susan. Not seeing a lot of deer in my area at all. Still have a little over a month left though.

Congrats Dan !!      :clapper:
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Was able to take off work on Thursday but didn't see a deer until I was heading back from lunch and a nice buck ran right in front of me. Hunted from 1:00pm to dark and didn't see another deer.

Went out on Saturday and the conditions were nice and cold and I saw a few does but not close enough for a shot. Moved to a new stand and at 12:50pm had a nice ten point chase a doe in front of me. Of course the buck stopped at 25 yards behind a big thick bush and didn't give me a shot and then took off again. Planning on hunting all day Saturday this weekend.

It's been a weird year on Long Island with not many deer seen at my best spots.

This has been a very frustrating season for me, but I finally got it done. After 7 misses I finally put my tag on a small buck.  My family and I can't be happier with it.  A healthy lil' 4 pointer taken at 5 yards.  I can't seem to figure out how to post pics anymore.     :dunno:

Congratulations Mike I've been waiting to see what you were going to get this year. I feel your pain and frustration with this season.I missed the same buck on two different days, shot under the first time  and hit a small twig I didn't see the following week.

Well tomorrow's it I'll be heading out with my son for our last hunt in the morning, been my slowest year in 34 years of bow hunting. It ain't over til it's over.

I'll have to admit that I kind'a gave up, but it has been 2 seasons now that haven't seen a deer with a bow in my hand hunting. But maybe I'll go out in the late season just to take the bow for a walk.

Killed a nice 7pt buck this afternoon.
Came in following a doe around 4pm.
Complete pass thru with short recovery,
Great day and a great pleasure to have my close friend here with me.

Thanks guys.
I'm unable to upload pics.
If someone can post for me I'd appreciate the assistance.
Thanks
