Good Luck NY Bowhunters!

[Izzy]

I may pass through there Saturday Charlie  but Ill be working. It s my usual morning routine when Im assigned to that zone. Id take a day off if you could kill bucks with the dmp's . Good luck hunting, theres been a few killed there this year.

Izzy, if you see a maroon CRV, that's what my wife and I are sharing these days.

Fred, I'm pulling for you.  I know 1st hand how it feels to lose property and have to start over. Usually, in years past you would have 2 or 3 deer by now. I think of you every time I pull into our sister facility in Carmel. It has deer in the driveway most every time. They are off Seminary hill rd.

Glen, It seems its always the way for you,  You kill a buck and then only see bucks the rest of the season.   Good luck!

I can still shoot a buck with my regular season tag. Used my archery either sex tag for the 11-11-14 deer. Hopefully this weekend.

Good Luck Chuck..


I know you guys will have a  great time again this weekend.

The morning has been long anticipated. It has been a long week and i plan to be in the Pine Bush early, then explore late morning an area 800 yards east of my secluded bowl that I love to hunt so much.

Drew, How have you been?

[drewsbow]

Charlie : I'm good , looking forward to hearing your adventure from Wisconsin. I put a doe in the freezer yesterday . How have you been ?

Chuck hope you do well

What an incredible Morning.

On Public Land, seen 11 Deer and a coyote. Had 3 does and an 8 point at 12 yards. I guess I didn't blend in as well as I thought as the biggest doe looked immediately at me as she stepped into my clearing and was suspicious. She quickly turned and walked out with one fawn in tow.  The other fawn skirted my position, I thought I was going to get a shot.

10 minutes later I saw the buck, I gave him a  few soft grunts and he came straight at me from the bedding area. He stopped at 12 yards and looked straight at me. I wasn't even considering a frontal shot. I tried to draw on the buck as he was turning to leave but he turned to quickly and walked straight away.

When I first arrived, I was a bit disappointed because I could see they had Mowed at least 80 acres of brush from these woods. All that remained was the pine trees that make up this pine bush.  I was relieved when I found they had left my spot alone for now. I think this is what contributed to such a great morning.

I'm still on cloud 9 from such a great morning.

That sounds like a great morning to me Charlie. A season can change in a minute. Saw a doe at seventy yards or so. A bit nippy this morning.

Another good Morning. I took a good bud in with me as we have been trying t catch up and share a hunt all year. we were planning on a piece by his house but some hoodlum kids were in there making a huge ruckus last night.

I had a doe at first light 20 yards but since I was in a new tree I wasn't 100 percent there wasn't any branches in the way. as it turned out... there wasn't but I don't regret playing it safe. A judo point few to the spot when I was leaving which confirmed I could have done my part. To be honest It was a little dark and I couldn't even tell if it was a  doe. No regrets doing the right thing.

I saw 1 more doe, a  buck harassing her and another deer at 10:00 slinking through 20 yards behind me but lost it.

My bud, was only 50 yards from me, we could see each other clearly but never saw the same deer. He almost had a shot at a big spike but it winded him before it hit the hole he wanted to shoot through.

The area we are in is so thick, the deer have tunnels but they move freely throughout the day. It sometimes hard to get a shot but I am having action, something I haven't had much of besides my WI trip.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Glen, Hope you fill that other buck Tag.  Once deer season is over and Tinkering season begins, I will be playing with a beautiful Osage bow. I hope to slink some arrows towards some bunnies. I found a new spot within walking distance from my house that has a decent population.  at least it did this summer.

Charlie, Glad to hear that you are getting some woods action. I took this weekend off from hunting and my wife and I flew down to Nashville with some friends for some R&R.  Planning on hitting the woods hard for the rest of the season. Next time you're headed down to my neck of the woods give me a shout.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Will do Fred. Usually when I am there its for work and side trips are not warranted as I have patients with me.

When my boss gets me stranded down there I'll send you a text lol.

I find it hard to believe we are the only ones still bowhunting.

Lets here it NY'ers. any action?

[glenbo]

Was out Saturday and Sunday Charlie. I saw one lone doe all weekend, but I will go till the final bell rings. Plenty of hunting left.

[Stone Knife]

I'll be heading out this week with my new Howard Hill. I have to wait for the late bow season to hunt a spot that is loaded with deer    

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Great news Guys, I knew I could conjure up some more reports. lol

Glen have you been to the ridge top spot where you had the deer close by last season? I think it was either in Rockland or Westchester county. I remember you pictures.  Good stuff..

Jim, does this mean your Bob Lee will be up for sale?   :p

[kat]

Sat for three hours this A.M. nothing moving except the trees. The wind came up fast, and I exited.  Very warm morning.

Nope

LOL Jim, I didn't have to ask, I already knew that answer. ha!

Ken, did you sit near Vadney Farm?

I hope to get out Thursday Morning. It would be neat to have moderate temps and a bunch of snow. I think they could be searching out their Thanksgiving Acorn Turkey dinners!

Predictions say the heaviest travel day of the season. Lets hope they are right.
