I'll be out in the morning. NW wind, could be perfect or my worst enemy depending on what the deer do.

I can only hunt until about 8. I figured I would chance it because I will not be back to this spot for a couple weeks.

Finally got out this morning,it's been too warm for my liking,and had 2 does and a button buck under the stand for awhile.Watched mom and the lil' guy nuzzle each other and when she stopped broadside at 12 yds I didn't have the heart to let one fly...at her or the younger doe.Maybe I'm getting soft,I dunno!

Had a doe come in tonight. She walked right up to 6 yards on my tree and sniffed around. She knew something was up specially when she looked up and I was staring at her. I blinked and she said goodbye. She was big too!! She had so.etching following her but it sounded little In the leaves. Good night though.

Cool encounter Matt,

Congrats Kopper. I do believe you are the first known NY bow kill on this site.

This morning was 43 degrees and still , about 10 minutes to 8 three coyotes came through and I thought the day would be lost . About 20 minutes later I'm looking right where the last Coyote disappeared and saw a white tail about 50 yards, put the glasses up and see a doe browsing so I put the glasses down and am looking at her and to see if there are any others with her when right over my right shoulder I catch movement it's looks like a huge six pointer until I see both of his G3 grew down instead of up ! Double drop tines and and He's a mature buck that I would gladly take except he is in the worst possible place and 15 yards from me I tried turning slowly but he got nervous and walked away as I'm watching him walk away I catch more movement in the same spot a here stands a wide 10 point he saw his patner and got suspicious and followed him away from me . Later on I saw a fat little forkhorn and smaller eight chasing a doe . All is all a great early season morning to be in Gods creation !

Sounds like you're in the right spot,Bob.Keep after them!

Man Bob you had a great day!
No bow hunting for me this weekend took my 14 year old daughter out for the youth rifle hunt. She passed on a button buck and missed a doe due to a deflection off a branch. Doesn't take much to deflect a .243

It was windy and chilly this morning. I only had 1.5 hours to sit and didn't even see a squirrel.

I guess your activity made up for my lack of activity Bob. great Encounter.

longrifle · October 09, 2016, 09:10:00 PM

Also great job Kooper

adkmountainken · October 10, 2016, 07:56:00 AM

shot a few with the camera last night and watched as the buck walked under my stand...

Really nice pics Ken!!! Very cool Bob. I'm in a blind down in PA. Hunting my uncle-in-laws until Friday then back to ny. Good luck fellows. So windy here in thinking about calling it quits early, but.....

wetfeathers · October 10, 2016, 07:29:00 PM

I missed a big doe tonight. It looked good... less than 20 yards. I shot low and paced it off....... 26 yards! I was WAY off on that one.

Probably won't get out again until friday. Good luck everyone.

Saw 6 does this morning. Gotta be a decent buck around soon.GET THAT DROP TINE BOB I WANT TO SEE A PIC !! I've only seen 2 drop tines in my life while hunting and didn't get a shot.I love them freaks.

LittleBen · October 13, 2016, 09:22:00 PM

Got out Monday morning, nothing but wind to be seen. Hope to get some action soon. Perhaps Sunday or Tuesday.

nashoba · October 13, 2016, 09:24:00 PM

I shot this mature doe Tuesday morning. She was one of 5 mature does I saw during the morning. About a 20 yard shot with my homemade bow, 125 grain eclipse broadhead, 125 grain steel insert on a carbon express arrow.
