Hitting the woods last night,I knew it would be my last sit before the orange army hits the woods this weekend.I hadn't been able to take a doe yet,so last night when 2 does and a fawn slowly worked their way down to me it was 'now or never'.After a few minutes the one doe finally stepped out from the brush.I hit anchor and the arrow hit it's mark...she didn't make it 20 yds.and was down.

Good job to all who have scored......I think this Thursday will be my opening day......at last. My knee is coming along and I'm going to give a AM hunt a shot. Rain is in the forcast but I will still go and sit in an enclosed blind. Waldrop-Pac seat, binos and my Stalker Coyote with laminated Doug-Fir arrows with B.P Deadheads that I got from Chad Holm. I can't wait!!!!!!!

Nice doe Jeff. Thanks Gerald Jim and I have been taking Bella waterfowl hunting she has been doing pretty good , now if she could only build some upper body strength to pull a hunting weight bow that would be great.

Alex don't wish Bella bigger! Keep her little, before you know it she will be all grown up  :)  
Looking forward to our gatherings this winter, always good to spend a little time with you boys.

Nice Doe Jeff, she looks great!

Man love seeing all these NY trad deer!!! Went out Sunday and saw a lot of spikes and does moving around, almost had a doe come right by me but fellow hunters spooked her. Hoping to get out Thursday, have posion ivy reaction pretty bad right now so a trip to the doc should help.

Also am like the pit bull love here, thanks Izzy for talking in the other post about you having your pit mix track blood. Now I have something new to do with my pit rescue. He definitely has the prey drive and LOTS of energy haha.

Good for you Mike, that dogs tracking ability will amaze you. Sat for 5 hours this morning only to be schooled by a long nosed doe. Saw her at 1st light coming out of a bedding area about 100 yards away. In a few steps she had me pegged and watched my stand area for about 20 minutes before fading into the one plantation.

     She reminds me of "Karen", another old doe from 4 or 5 years ago that won many an encounter between her and I on the same ridge, bet its her fawn. To be continued.......

I sat until 1 this morning.  It sure was cooler than I expected. I loved every minute of it and expected to see some activity from deer. It wasn't to be.  gonna do a little yard work before I have to pick up my partner from work and take her to job 2.

Friday will be my last go at it before regular season starts. I think I'm going to switch things up and sit next to the road. If you guys drive past honk, I'll wave.

Good Job Jeff, and heck you are almost smiling this time in your photo lol.

Good Luck Ron, It will feel good for you to be in the woods again, bow in hand.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Charlie, I was out this morning as well and had high hopes of seeing some deer activity, but it was not to be. I've got plans to sit 2 more times before the invasion Saturday.

Man Izzy those old does are amazing, you outsmart them and you got a trophy on your hands.   Its amazing at how fast they pick you off even from a distance.

Well I did it......took my new knee into the woods for a 4 hour sit. Saw a couple of big Grays but no deer. Still it was nice to have an opening day and just be there.
