early season opens Sept 27th in the Northern zone and i am pumped!i will be hunting the 29th. i am shooting better then i EVER had. stands have been in place for awhile and the local deer sign looks very good. acorns on the ground, beech are just starting to fall and my heart rate has increased a beat!!! on a side note lots of bears on the mountain this year although i do not wish to shoot one. Saturday will find me high on the mountain in a favorite stand awaiting a set of horns trotting up the trail....

Good luck Ken, looking forward to the stories!
Hows the weather been up there Ken?...cooling off yet?
We actually have the earliest opener ever this year in the southern zone..I get to hunt starting 10/1..looking forward to it..
Good luck Ken. This will be the first NY opener I have missed in 20 years... However, I did get to start 2 weeks ago down here, although I would much rather have the cooler NY weather.

Good luck Ken, I too will be out the 27th! Can't wait!!!!
Things are looking real good with beachnuts and acorns!!!
Good luck, Kenny. You certainly deserve it.
White oaks are carpet-bombing the parking lot here. They wake me up at night! I have a month to go before I get out.

weather is great, nice chill in the early morning, leaves are changing and acorns are on the ground.
The Kanati is looking to send a VPA straight on through..

pick a spot!
go gettem boy my son an I have already knocked a couple down tis the season I live for this time of year good luck be safe shoot stright ED &sons
Remember to look low. I got to worked up opening week and shot high on a doe because I was to busy checking behind her for others and by the time I was taking the shot I never got my eyes where they needed to be.
Good luck Ken and all. I will be out Friday evening & saturday. Had a really nice bear come in opening day @8:40 in the mornig. Tried to get cute and take some pictures before the shot. Well, at 50 yards I dropped the arrow tilting my bow around a limb. Arrow hit a branch on the way down and the bear turned and slowly walked away. MY BAD!!! No hero pics til after the deed is done from now on. He was a really nice one. Maybe I will get another opportunity. Good luck fellas.
Indian Lake is looking the best Ive seen in years, a lot of deer. Im gonna put some time in up there if I dont stumble onto a big one down here. I havent seen a good buck yet but I aint afraid to shoot a doe. Ive seen plenty of them down here. Looking like rain on Monday.
Going first thing in the AM. Blinds are all tuned up, I'm shooting well, just need the right opportunity to all come together. Maybe this will be the year on the mountain. A quick stop for coffee and me and the River Runner will be of to the North Woods.
The summer was quite hot, but has cooled of nicely now. The plus side is that bow season opened 9/8 and runs for 2 months down here, however no Sunday hunting at all unless you have private land to bowhunt only on. I will eventually get some private land and that will be nice. As seems every year when hunting season opens, I travel for work, have been in SC the last 2 weeks. Oh well, a man's gotta work.
Good luck to all.
Slow mourning, did a a 4 hour sit and not much seemed to be moving.....it's early but I least I'm out there....lol!
Rain has stopped, may have a good day tomorrow. Anyone who is going in the mourning, best of luck!!
me, john and Manny will be going in the am, are you Ron?
Good luck my brothers :thumbsup: :clapper:
As long as it's not raining I'm in.......I'll be in one of the blinds. I think the upper one!
Hey best of luck to you guys up there, Ken.Looking forward to our first early season here in the south. I'm looking forward to hunting with leaves still on the trees. Plan on hunting from the ground first couple of weeks. Things are a little more normal this year- ACORNS!
Checked one of my camera's today and found this guy. I have to wait until Monday but good luck to you guys. I didn't head North this year because our season opens October 1st.
