Good luck NY bowhunters - 2015

[2nocks]

we made it out today and enjoyed the afternoon in the blind together.  No sightings but it was a good time nonetheless .

[Izzy]

Wow have the deer been moving these last few days! During work, I've seen a pile including a big buck which was close to my honey hole. Just saw 3 doe come out of the same hole. Might give a go if I get out of work on time.

Hoping I get a visit from a nice big doe I will let you know how it goes!

[Mint]

I'll be heading out tomorrow.

 I've had a tough year since my best spot has construction going on near by and the deer are avoiding the area and I don't have permission to hunt where they rerouted.

I've been tweaking another area I hunted a little and finally got it just right I think. There is one really good buck I've got on camera twice in the area and I finally saw him in the flesh last week at first light. A turkey started walking and he was gone. He is probably nocturnal now but I can hope.

I've been out quite a bit and have been fortunate to take two more does with my longbow.

[J.Williams]

That's great,Terry,doing it with a bow during 'gun' and all.

Congrats Terry!

Congratulations Terry. You always get it done. I will be out Sunday. I haven't seen a deer since the gun season started. Hopefully things will pick up.

[Izzy]

Congrats terry, ive been greedy, working a lot of overtime. I got to walk the woods for a few minutes this morning and I saw a fresh scrape from last night. The night guys saw a lot of deer and 4 got hit by cars in the last 24.

   I will get out this week for sure. Good luck men, still time.

Scouted a  new section of public land mid day.  had a  doe and 2 fawn run in when I was half up the tree.  I was able to pull the bow up and get an arrow on the string.  she smelled where I stepped at 12 yards.  she was hard quartering to me.  she bounded twice and was safe.  her fawns ran up to her preventing a shot at them.

at 4:00 a lone deer was coming in and then skirted my set up by 40 yards.

This spot has me pretty excited. It shows a lot of browsing activity and has a bunch of trails intersecting at the end of a  long ridge.  there is agriculture fields about 900 yards away and the deer seem to be bedding behind some commercial operation 150-200 yards the other way.

Hopefully I will catch them on their feet in the morning, then I will give the spot a break.

Funny thing is, I had a  guy on a 4 wheeler ripping around me when I decided to climb this tree.  Figured the deer would come out when he left.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

A Buddy saw 11 deer today.Bucks were chasing.

I'll be out in the heat tomorrow.  Only a few weeks left.  Gonna hunt every chance I get.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Saw a small buck with a broken back leg.  no shot offered.  Scrapes are everywhere and getting hit hard.

Looking for some lower temps and maybe even a little snow for the last weekend-- should kick off a second round of the rut if we're lucky!

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Susan, There is no question teh second rut has kicked in here.

Looks like the weather will cool off a  bit this weekend. I really look forward to it.

[longrifle]

Found fresh scrapes today with bow in hand, no deer though.
They've been seeing some chasing as well.

[Mint]

Hopefully they are still at it on Saturday. Last Saturday I didn't see a thing but it was close to 70 degrees during the day.

Cross all fingers for the weekend to have some activity!

[Izzy]

Hunted what will most likely be my last deer hunt for the season. It felt good to still hunt the mountain. Didn't see a deer but the squirrels are looking good and ready to catch an arrow or two. Not the one I missed today, that sucker cost me an MFX Classic.  

[Cyclic-Rivers]

My buddy saw 4 different bucks today... all cruising.  Come on weekend. I just wish we could hunt deer into February....
