No I don't have to wai as I hunt a bow only area and earn a buck tag by shooting a doe. I can kill up to 4 bucks a year this way. Izzy he was coming out of bedding but also he was just starting up. His tarsals were just strarting to darken and he smelled a lil' rutty but another week and they will be chasing good. The real heavy breeding will be around the 15th. this year in my area, but now is the time to out there for the next 3 to 3 and a half weeks. This new stand is the best I have put up in a few years. In and out is a breeze. Izzy if ya can get away next week during the week and we have a solid west wind call me, I will PM ya my #. I will put ya in there. One real good one in there and another 6pt. Plus a good doe group. Call mefor sure!! Thanks everyone!! Shawn

This is for SteveB as well, I also can use my regular season tag to take a buck in the bow only area anytime during the season as in a bow only area the seaon is considered regular season, DEC website says this is good in westchester county as well as all bow only areas in  the state. From website: Regular season tag may be used anytime in areas restricted to longbow use only.  Shawn

[ishiwannabe]

Had a 4 hour sit this afternoon with Adk-Ken ,just tree critters until the walk out at dark. Saw 2 on the way back to the car. Maybe we should just sit in the car and listen to the radio.........

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Saw a spike and a doe plus something that was chasing the doe. it was another deer but noit sure what. It caught my scent and boogied. I hate swirling winds. I was unfamiliar with the spot but I had a good sit. Nothing in range.

Way 2 go Stone!  

[ron w]

Sat for 3 1/2 hours this AM, nothing move'n, real windy , even the tree critters were sleep'n in. Not seeing much buck'n sign. I know there is a good one around but he's not active yet!!
