Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live From My Stand 2018

On my BIL's property in New York and one taken down the road.

Great looking bucks.
Well our opening day on my new property was really slow.
Heard very few shots (30-40 all day, so I don’t think it was just us) and only saw 6, one being a 6-7 pt buck but not given a shot.
I sat with my daughter and my son Matthew sat with my wife.
Around 4:15 pm I hear my wife shoot and then I can hear some crashing, she texts me and tells me she shot her first deer.
Woohoo!
So after all the slowness of the day my wife got her first deer, very proud of her.
It’s not the big buck she was hoping for but it’s a bb.
She was happy and that’s what it is all about.

Great animal...Glad it was taken by a family member, if not by you. 😎

Another dark til dark sit
10 buck and 9 doe
Turk is alive I had him 125 yds in front of me at 9 am so thick no shot watched him for 20 minutes through binoculars
other bucks were 2 2 1/2 yr old 8pts and rest scrub bucks
I'm beat up but I'll be back out in the morning

Quest for the Turk continues won't be able to do an all day

Congrads on the fine Bucks & the dandy Piebald!, off this AM doc app. no deer see, yesterday afternoon, all guys in camp left yesterday too! was fun!

Saw 1 2 1/2 yr old 8 pt and doe and fawn this morning

Old Turk is screwing with me, he paid a visit the night before the opener then again 40 minutes after I left my 12 hr sit yesterday





Deer party yesterday afternoon ...3 of the 10 buck I saw

Hunted the other property this morning due to crunchy snow and not wanting to bump deer around at Turk property
Had a couple doe come by and then 400yds away I neighboring property I watched 3 buck chasing doe
One looked to be the droptine 6 pt
at one point 2 doe flew through woods below me at about 150 yds and then that was the last of the action
Back to hunting the Turk this afternoon

3 doe and a 6 pt this afternoon

I give you a lot of credit Dan...you sure are dedicated !! I jumped back on the spray truck last couple of days but plan on going out tomorrow afternoon and Thursday am.

3 doe and one 4 pt this morning

Finally figured out how to post pics. My first year bow hunting I got super lucky when a suicidal 3x3 blacktail stood broadside at 20 yards.

... just wow! not from my corner of NY, that's for sure!

Ulster County

Dvd, i think Turk is staying in the thick stuff in daylight. Is that night pic of him in the edge of a field?

Possibly a stand 75 or so yards back from the edge.....

9 doe for afternoon sit

5 degrees snow so crunchy walking in every deer for a mile could hear
saw 2 doe
I never seem to have good luck on thanksgiving

Like to froze, but did see a Spike this afternoon!

Same here, but the day after has been good to me several times. Good Luck!

Morning off just no way to enter woods with temp 5 degrees and snow so loud
Back out this afternoon
