Looking forward to going out to the Pine bush.

My pants are drying right now, I sprayed them with permithryn. Hope it helps.

Congrats Joe, that's fine Doe!

Quiet Morning going back for the perfect storm.

Stone Knife · October 29, 2011, 01:08:00 PM

Lots of movement this morning, no shots.

Had a small 8pt @ about 40yds. this morning...a buck I have several pix of. Had a deer blow out from under stand when I approached in the dark too.

Hammerin' snow here now...probably wont go tonight, but I'll be out in the am...can't wait!

Made the mistake of hunting Plattekill this morning. A normal 1 1/2 drive turned into 3 but Noah and I made it safely home. I did enjoy my time with him in the woods even though we were in blinding snow for the better part of the afternoon.

Guru · October 29, 2011, 07:15:00 PM

Plattekill as in 10 minutes from my house Plattekill?

Glad you're home safe, still hunting with Shawn tomorrow?

Cyclic-Rivers · October 29, 2011, 07:57:00 PM

Yes that's the same Plattekill, just outside Modena.

Saw 2 turkeys during the Blizzard but a tad too far out (50 yards). otherwise just a red squirrel kept me company for 4 hours.

It was kinda nice during it all and very pretty but I am happy to be home now in the heat.

I will head out tomorrow morning but will sit on the ground near a golf course and some scrapes I found last week. Figure Mr. Buck may be by to freshen them up.

Cyclic-Rivers · October 29, 2011, 07:58:00 PM

BTW,

Permithrin worked, only had 1 tick on me during the snow storm

Izzy · October 29, 2011, 08:02:00 PM

Yeah man, Cuz has a business associate down there that doesnt hunt so I figured we'd get a look at his swamp. Had to pick some things up at my aunts house in Nyack and squeezed a quick scouting/hunting/hiking foray in.Saw some nice rubs and hope to get a better look at the place this spring. Shawn teased me with a text of what he was seeing this morning, said they were moving like crazy.

2Blade · October 29, 2011, 08:04:00 PM

Havent seen a deer in 2 weeks seriously. Losing hope fast. Weve had 3 kiyote sightings so far and heard 2 packs last night, one behind my house and one across the road. Ive only found 3 scrapes so far and thats rare for my area, ususally the little bucks are tearing it up. Maybe this snow will help I really hope so I need some venison!

Stumpkiller · October 29, 2011, 09:17:00 PM

Paid some dues tonight. In the first image, if you look close (red circle) you will see my shooting tab. Bobbled it when untying my bow & quiver from the haul line. Luckily I keep a spare in my jacket.

Then the snow started in earnest. Even knowing where the darned tab was it took me a few minutes to find it later after sunset. Brrrrrr. Saw a roundhead doe/button that "klacked" in the rocks of a stream 100 yards off and I was set and ready . . . for a non-event. Let it pass and nothing else was moving.

Stone Knife · October 30, 2011, 01:56:00 PM

No deer this morning, heading back out soon.

adkmountainken · October 30, 2011, 02:04:00 PM

saw 2 does, busted me but felt good.

2Blade · October 30, 2011, 02:27:00 PM

Good luck guys least somebody is seeing deer! Im gonna head out soon to see what happends. I figure I got nothing to lose and alot to gain if it actually does happen. I pray it does.

kevsuperg · October 30, 2011, 04:38:00 PM

sat a new stand this morning off a small rub line.
saw a spike at 8 oclock and lotsa duck hunters. shotguns going off all over the place. one guy walked up the swamp to within 60 yds or so of me.

vintage-bears · October 30, 2011, 06:57:00 PM

Been kind of slow by me here in Sullivan County regarding good bucks.
Hav'nt seen a descent buck yet.
Earlier in the day on Friday, watching this young doe come and go. I was tucked away in an old apple tree.

I was hoping for her dad/grandpa to come by.
He never showed.
I waited as long as I could as the day was running out of light.

I drew a doe permit this year so I decided to take her. She's small but will provide some great meals at camp......Philip

how is it that a guy can shoot clean over the back of a small doe not 3 yrds from his stand and then a couple days later drill a small possum out of his stand at 22 yrds.
