That's the way to start off the season    :clapper:  

This morning was my second time out. All was quiet until a little after 9am when 3 mature doe and a yearling followed by a young spike came trotting out of the wood line to my right. They angled behind me and stayed there feeding on acorns for a good 15 minutes before walking off. No shots offered but they definitely got my heart pumping.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Where I am they have abandoned the oaks for the apples, which are heavy in some spots, absent in others. No apparent reason (I am sure mother nature has a reason) for the spotty availability of the fruit.

Got out this weekend public land was a little busy!!  Sat morn i saw 5+ people by 10 o'clock.  I had a doe come in Sunday.  She came in spooky and of course I knew I should have aimed a little low but when it came time I just picked a spot.  You guessed it she jumped the string.  At least it was a clean miss.  Only the first weekend so I hope I get a redemption shot.  Good luck out there.

Keep  the updates coming.  I'll be back in NY in a week.

Congrats to all the success so far.

Tough Break Matt.  Hopefully my little oasis on that property hasn't been found by the mobs you speak of.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Figured I just might get lucky and hunted at mid day. Nothing but rodents and peace, appreciated both. I sat a new stand next to a creek hoping they might be drinking at mid day but nothing. My other 3 stands are up in the beech and oak and a quick check has me excited. There is a small spring next to one stand and its tore up.

I tried an afternoon sit yesterday. Saw nothing but squirrels until near dark.  On the walk out, I saw two deer run across the trail about 70 yards in front of me. Too dark to see if they had horns, but they are there.

Good luck and watch out for rule changes from the DEC they seem to be switching a lot of staple rules lately. For example this year Westchester 3S is doe only for the first two weeks. That a first and it wasn't heavily advertised anywhere but the fine print. Don't do what many have done and just assume its the same as its always been. Same with dutchess 3G last year DMP permits became doe only again only in the fine print. I've heard a lot of guys getting busted for making an innocent mistake.

Beautiful morning this morning. All I saw were 2 coopers Hawks and a small Racoon. TONS of acorns dropping. Deer don't have far to look for food.
