Thanks guys......I may have over did it a bit because I'm real stiff today. But I'll get it loosened back up and I will be fine. I was great to sit in the woods again......the smells, sounds, just a great morning.

No luck for me today but I did find another promising area.

the last sit before the big bang , seen some does and couple bucks but no shots.

Sat tonight also Drew and did see one lone deer but like you nothing close. It was a fun year even though for the second year in a row I didn't shoot one, I had to rethink why I'm out there and feel fine about my season. There was a time when I put a ton of pressure on myself to get at least one deer that I took the joy right out of it. I hunted over 80 hours this year , saw more deer than last and had fun.

Ron, glad you were able to get out and take it all in this fall!

Izzy · November 20, 2015, 08:02:00 PM

Aint nothing stopping you fellas from hunting the gun season with sticks, we've got a lot of time yet. Think positive and as you say, its about enjoying yourself without pressure. Good luck fellas.

Similar to my old saying in college, cept it was Friday night and they weren't tags in my pocket.

Got out to my urban spot tonight. Saw a small, yearling doe from 15 yards on the ground. A bit to small, I try not to kill those tiny ones when I can control myself.

My daughter just texted me from Ithaca College.
Said deer are everywhere, running all over.
Go get 'em!

How's it looking in NY are you guys still seeing rut activity?

Going to take my 8 year old son out with me Friday afternoon and sit in a blind. Never taken him out before and he's pumped.

Izzy · November 24, 2015, 04:59:00 PM

Friday was the last day I saw rutting activity with two young bucks cruising. Nothing since then but Id imagine theres still some action in the quieter areas.

Sean B · November 24, 2015, 05:30:00 PM

Almost hit a good Buck coming home from the chiropractors office about s half hour ago. He was chasing

Cyclic-Rivers · November 24, 2015, 06:44:00 PM

Good to hear activity was picking up a bit. I saw the most beautiful ugly spike Saturday morning but he has been the first buck I have seen in weeks and definitely was not rutty. I think hes too young lol.

2nocks · November 25, 2015, 06:43:00 AM

Thanks guys. I should add I'm about as excited as him to finally get him out there and spend some time in the woods together. If the trip goes as planned will report back.

Cyclic-Rivers · November 25, 2015, 07:07:00 AM

Good luck Joseph! I hope he sees some deer, to get excited over.

Cyclic-Rivers · November 25, 2015, 09:53:00 PM

Headed out in the Morning pre Turkey feast!

There is a fresh scrape and a huge rub where I am headed including heavy trails and still a lot of Acorns.

They are forecasting a south wind which I think will be perfect for where I expect the deer to be. Of course we all know how that goes :rolleyes:

mcgroundstalker · November 26, 2015, 11:13:00 AM

Best Of Luck Charlie! I think that spike is sayin' it's five minutes after eight... :rolleyes: ...

Thanks Mike, This morning was as beautiful of a mortning as anyone could ask for. Unfortunately hunting public land also has its challenges.

The neat thing was I ran into a guy who was taking his daughter to her tree stand..... I wished them luck but unfortunately her stand was where I was planning on sitting lol.

I found another spot. It was a great spot except I think the deer are hitting it after dark due to pressure. Rubs, scrapes and trails Galore.

At 5 after 8 this morning I had a guy walking and grunting come past. not 3 minutes after he was gone a flock of turkeys came in. I sat until 11:30 hoping for mid day action which sometimes happens on this public area.

not today.... I'm not plainin tho. I could have been at work.
