Congrats to the Michaels.

I saw 3 does while trying to climb into a tree yesterday morning. They were under the tree I was in the day before. I would have went back to that tree except, when I climbed down I realized it was dead, complete with wood pecker holes big enough to fit my fist into. This new swamp area holds a lot of deer, saw another at 9 am but couldn't tell what it was.

My Buddy shot a 6 point this morning with his Damon Howatt. this is his second deer this year with that new old bow.

Had a flat tire so instead of changing it in the dark I hunted a small plot out behind the house. I sat on my Niff Tee seat and at 1st light had a barred owl land 15 feet in front of me. Watched him for a while and although he did eyeball a chipmunk he was not in a hunting mood.

A few minutes later I hear something coming. At first I didn't see anything but could tell it was coming up the trail I was on. Two otters on land, walked past me at 15 feet. Super cool. I have video and will see if I can download it.

Sean B · November 10, 2015, 09:05:00 AM

That's really cool!!

Shinnecockfly · November 10, 2015, 09:26:00 AM

That's awesome definitely a surprise to see that!

Izzy · November 10, 2015, 09:53:00 AM

Definitely a treat for me. I thought they were fishers that are common around here until they emerged from the brush. I guess otters are somewhat common here if you spend time on the river. I was about 1/4 mile from the Mohawk River. My phone will not condense the video. May have to put a trail cam out there.

Hunted Saturday, Sunday and Monday all day. Lots of hunters out on the public land on long island since the deer are finally moving and we had colder weather starting Sunday.

Had a real nice eight pointer come under my stand and walk straight away. I was at full draw but he didn't turn even when I grunted. I know a lot of people would have shot but I lost a deer to a one lung shot and I try to avoid that experience again. Saw a bunch of small bucks chasing and the does were nervous as heck walking around.

Have to work the rest of the week but I'll be out Saturday and Sunday shooting the first thing that gives me an opportunity.
