Title: Good luck NY bow hunters!
Post by: ronp on September 26, 2020, 07:23:36 AM
Good luck NY bow hunters.  Our early northern zone archery season starts tomorrow (09/27). I'm heading for the mountains this morning. Post any hunting stories and pics if you can.  Most importantly, stay safe, enjoy the season, and wear a safety harness if and when you are in your tree stand!  :archer2: :archer2: :archer2:

 Hope you all have some great hunts and can share some stories and pics. I had back surgery at the beginning of the month and I'm working my way to a hunting bow  (doctor says I can start drawing a light bow , yea!) so I don't know when I'll be hunting . I'll be looking forward to everyone's adventures even more this year .

Good luck boys. Myself I'm a little apprehensive. Many of my areas are in or near the EHD zone.

We're finding ALOT of dead deer from EHD here in the Hudson Valley. I'll be doing a majority of my hunting in Delaware County. Good luck guys.

Out for the first time today. Saw one 7 pt and two does. I found a dead buck in a creek fifty yards from my stand. I am suspecting is the disease affecting our area.

Is that down in Rockland Cnty area.
Regardless it should be cold enough soon to kill off the nats that carry that disease.

Good luck and be safe.

Post by: Bruce M on October 06, 2020, 06:10:36 PM
I have been out four times. In those times I have seen 6 or 7 deer, 3 nice sized bucks and the rest doe.
None of which I could get close enough to get a shot off, and I've only spooked one of them off so far( first year on the ground) mostly still hunting with a little spot and stalk. Or I should say spot and reposition into their line of travel...just hasn't worked out YET.

I only hunt from the ground, anything higher than a barstool, gives me a nosebleed :scared:

OK NY bow hunters what's the deal ? You going off grid here ; nothing but crickets ! I know you guys are out and my phone has friends sending pics of some pretty nice bucks being taken so lets hear some stories. I'll even start. I got my back to where I could get out by the 3rd week and after getting busted on the ground numerous times  I got some help with a ladder stand and took an 8pt the first morning in it. 19 yard shot, 43lb recurve, Magnus 2bld, double lung and done. It was last Friday and he came charging in after 2 does. I feel bad but my poor wife had to drag him out ! Ok..next !

CONGRATULATIONS, Marvin!!!!! :clapper: :archer: :clapper:

Glad your back's getting better!! Bad backs SUCK!!! Years of hard work, in bad weather, mine is shot...
Can't sit for more than an hour, and tree stands are out of the question! I get in, sit awhile, can't get out!! LMAO

That's OK, I like to walk. Been over the mountain a few times... Nothing yet though. But I'm out there!!!
