Curt, ya may not of missed all of it. Ya got to get out there, they are still chasing pretty good. I think the weather and the moon phases screwed with the rut, which has given it a trickle effect this year. If ya need help, give me a call!! I passed quite a few young ones this year. You know that is not like me!! I may go a year or two without a buck, but when I get one it should be a good'un!!  Let us know how ya make out or like I said Call me, I can    !!! Shawn

My guess is this hotspot is in  Connecticut

My guess is Westchester County, if I get it right do I get to hunt with ya?    Go get'em buddy!! Shawn

Curt,Looks very good I hope you have some luck,I talked to john you guys are putting in some hours this year.From the looks of the Rubs looks like a spike to me...LOL

Hang in there Curt,the big boys that have made it thru the rut are gonna be needing 2 put back on some weight for winter.Our season in NH goes 2 dec 15,the bucks are hungry...go get em

Yes,Westchester Co....

Thanks guys...I'm very much looking forward to hunting this place...

Curt looks like you have one heck of a honey hole there! Best of luck with it.

your huntin an entirely diferant animal when it comes to mature bucks,hemmoroids was my outcome,hopefully not yours,trail camera wouldn't hurt in the late season feeding pattern,good luck!

I too seem to be able to count my hunts on one hand these days. However, the quality has been great!! I know I appreciate it more now when I do get out.  

That looks like an awesome spot you got there, Curt... Good luck hangin' a tag on that monster!!
Can't wait to see your "Hero Pic" with that PIG!!
        I bet that Buck has "Apple Man" patterned...maybe you can use that to your advantage.

David

still plenty of hunting left curt.  go get'em

for the first time in several years I actually got to hunt quite a bit this year both in CT and MA and in CT I've seen about 10 deer total (north easter ct) just couldn't connect on the one good shot op, and in MA I've hunted a ton and finally put a doe in the freezer back in october.  hadn't seen another deer in the Ma woods until this past saturday...thought for sure I'd killed the only freakin deer on the property...

Doug,      

Hey Curt, do me a favor. In the second picture about a hundred yards straight east of that rub,
I left my bowhook in a hickory tree with double trunks. Would you get it for me? It's one of those triple bending job and cost about $20. I hate when I do that.

Ahhhhh....Westchester. That's where I started to bowhunt back in the early 50's. I still have high school buddies that hunt there. It's amazing to be able to see the NYC skyline while you are in a tree stand. Good luck, Curt, cherish the opportunity there are some awesome big bucks there. My wife saw the biggest buck she has ever seen right on one of the exits of the thruway. He was with about 10 does feeding on the roadside.

Curt, WOW those are some rubs !!! I see a few sick days coming on. Good luck with the back.

Biggie, I'll get it next time I get in there    

Bill and Bob...thank you  

Sure looks like you got his bedroom nailed down.  Late season can be such a test of will power, but he is likely there somewhere.  Go get him Curt!
