Hey Kevin,

We had great weather again in the Moose River Plains. We missed ya at the camp fire! Keep us posted how you're doing out west.

Went out scouting today found some rubs and acouple scrapes on a ridge.Anybody finding any rubs yet??

Skipmaster1 · September 28, 2015, 07:23:00 PM

I've found lots of rubs and scrapes. A few huge ones, but since in Westchester this year we can't take a buck for the first 15 days I'm looking for areas with the least buck sign. I have a great Apple tree picked out for opening afternoon. 7-10 does hitting it most every evening. I just hope it's not raining too hard.

Finding more rubs this year than the last two. Even hitting a couple mock scrapes I put in over the seasons. Just need to show during shooting hours!

Wow Crotch Horn. You must spend a fortune commuting to and from your hunting site.

I've enjoyed sharing our hunts in the " Good Luck NY Bowhunters " threads the last couple of years and look forward to it again this year. I do most of my bowhunting in unit 8G which is doe only the first 2 weeks this year so I will probably wait to do any serious hunting and not risk pushing out the good bucks on the small parcels I hunt.

I'll miss opening weekend since I'll be visiting friends in VT with my wife. I'll be doing some pheasant hunting though. Next weekend I'll be trying for a nice fat doe since that's all we can shoot on Long island the first two weeks. I just know a nice buck is going to walk by.

Actually highlow I spend much more traveling back & forth to work. 64.6 mile drive each way 4 days a week. Got stuck working today. Will be out tomorrow. Hope the rain stops. Good luck guys. Can't wait to gear about critters hitting the ground!!!

Good luck to all you fellas. Looks to be plenty of deer out there for the taking.

Still not feeling it yet myself. October 1st opener is great but takes some getting used to, its just not seasonable yet.

Cyclic-Rivers · September 29, 2015, 09:53:00 PM

I sure wish I could be out there with you guys, however the deer have vanished from the farm. I assume its a change in food but it sure takes the wind out of my sails. I cant hunt for a week or more anyhow so I will be living vicariously through you guys.

Good luck, guys!!!

Gonna try and get out tomorrow after work.Goodluck,fellas.

Good luck Jeff and everyone else who goes out tomorrow. Hopefully the does cooperate and we prove the DEC wrong since they do not expect enough does to be killed in their 2 week doe only season for most of the state.

It is my beleif, they do not want us to kill enough does to initiate a muzzle loader season in our bow season next year. If you get a chance to take a doe, please do so.

I'll be leaving in 3 and a half hours. Can't wait. It's like Christmas morning when I was 6. I worked till 2 so there is no way I'm sleeping. Good luck everybody.

Bobtulowiecki · October 01, 2015, 06:15:00 AM

Truck is packed. Only thing in the way is work! Getting out this evening. Good luck guys

Izzy · October 01, 2015, 08:17:00 AM

Sitting in court, yayyyyyy! :mad:

drewsbow · October 01, 2015, 10:07:00 AM

first report , there is nothing to report , no deer this A.M.

Mryan2176 · October 01, 2015, 10:34:00 AM

Same here,nothing but squirrels. Be out again this evening.

swampbow2 · October 01, 2015, 10:35:00 AM

Nice and quiet this morning with wet ground so I still hunted near home for the first hour and a half. Had a doe with fawn get to within 25yds but its too soon for me to be shooting either one.Was looking at a ladder stand I left out last year and had two little forkie bucks sneak up on me and spook when they saw me move. Its fun being out but not being able to shoot a good buck if I see one is taking something out of it for me.

Carcajou · October 01, 2015, 12:27:00 PM

I will be in the Adirondacks tomorrow still - hunting..have a new area with a lot of sign. Perhaps a Buck will make the fatal mistake of getting too close...
