Tell Adam congratulations, we can't even buy a turkey around my place, I feel bad for Joe he is just starting out and he can't even get a glimpse of one. I have shot tons of turkey over the years and have never seen it this bad around here.

Finally taking a short break from hunting every day. Managed to fill one doe tag in CT and one here in NY. Been chasing deer around Jersey with my buddies...plenty of action.

The bucks are starting to become more accesible and scrapes are showing up in a few of our better hunting areas. Seen 2 nice six pointers and one small eight. Its only going to get better the next 3 weeks. Plan on hitting the woods hard until my wife and I leave for London, England to visit our daughter Thanksgiving week.

So much woods....so little time....below is one of my favorite "ambush locations" in Jersey. Plenty of action around this crossroads....taking today off to regroup, get some healthy food in me and head back out tomorrow morning....Keep the faith...

Congratulations on the deer Joe   :thumbsup:  I had quite the morning today, I got in my stand hung up my gear nocked an arrow then watched my quiver fall to the ground, so I climbed down grabbed the quiver climbed back up and proceeded to knock my arrow off the bow and watched that hit the dirt   :banghead:  I could of got "P"ed off but I just said the heck with it I ain't climbing back down and I'm not going to let a little thing like that spoil my day. I never did see a deer but I took hair off a black squirrel, in all the years I have hunted I have only seen 4 of them around here, I had another shot at a grey but missed that one to, but I did have a good time. I wish Joe hadn't decided to sleep in, it was dead calm with a hard frost leaves were falling like rain, you don't see a hand full of days like that to often around here. My wife watched five deer cross the road by her horse and head right to my stand that is by there, oh well maybe next time out.

Got out for the last hour and a half. Saw two HUGE coyotes. One lone doe. Took that stand down, and will replace the chain on it and set it up somewhere else during this week after work.
Heard that a very large deer was taken across the street from me....Im really hoping it wasnt the one I am setting up on.
Good luck guys.

Nomad88 shoots and scores!! Damon was having a few equipment issues and had missed a few deer. He got things squared away and made a perfect 25 yared shot on a nice big doe this afternoon. He was even nice enough to drag it out himself without getting help from his father in law(me). Well I helped for the las 40 yards. Hope he comes on to tell his story, h said he would try. Congrats!!

I knew he would connect, it was just a matter of time.
Wish I coulda been there, like we planned. I cancelled because my wife is sick, thus I had the baby. She took a nap, woke up and said "Why arent you hunting?".  :banghead:  
Congrats Damon...knew you would make the next shot after watching a few of your shots yesterday.
I hope you guys got pics?

One pic. on the cell phone. It shows her on her side with his arrow sticking out right where the heart is. She did not go 40 yards! Shawn

I drilled a tree rat with a BH Sat morning after they tempted me for way to long.

Sun morning I had an absolutely perfect shot oppertunity on a 2 yr old 8pt only to put it thru his backstraps from 15 yrds away man did that suck alot I even entertained a thought about equipment that I haven,t had in a long long time....I went in the dirrection he went for the afternoon even though I know it was a non fatal hit

I had seen a 130 class 8pt in there last season and I found his bed which is where I ended up sitting for the afternoon...right IN his bed

Well I was right it was his bed only he's bigger than 130 now and coming straight at me 30, 20, 15, 10...crap why did I sit IN his bed now im standing in his bed and he's eyeballin the heck outta me at 10 steps and he's all of 140"s now with only 8pts still and clean.He doesn,t like me standing in his bed and kinda jumps outta there but gives me a 15 yrd shot.Granted he was lokking right at me but I drew when he couldn,t see me...

Maybe he ducked ,maybe I had some fever I don't know but it went just over his back.....now I'm really wondering about what I'm shooting this shouldn,t happen I practice nearly every day and can hit pretty good what gives,I havn,t thought about the other bow in yrs grrrrrrrrrrrrr   :banghead:
Shoot straight and have FUN!!
