Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live From My Stand 2018

Haa, that's a little nipplie. I blew it off this morning, but it's perfect here. I needed to come to work anyway. Our gun season starts tomorrow with heavy rain tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah we've got rain coming in tomorrow as well,warmer temps than the last couple of days.

25 doe 4 buck no shooters this afternoon

I tried a spot further east this afternoon, a couple of doe, young 6 pt, a better mature 8 about 100 yds out and then a doe came charging in with a shooter right up her rear...she veered off about 40 yds out and of course he followed...going back tomorrow afternoon and Sunday....I'm getter closer all the time

My son Matthew tagged out tonight.
.243 Barnes 80 grain ttsx at 115 yds, dropped him like a bag of stones.



And a pic of him alive and all his points.

Congrats to Matthew !

Congrats to the boy!

3 doe this morning didn't go to Turk property
I'll hunt the Turk this afternoon

Better have your umbrella. Good Luck.

FWIW - my buddy just killed a 2yo 7point this morning on my place. he was chasing 5 doe in circles around the stand. That makes at least 5 weekends in a row that we have caught bucks chasing does hard here. No lull between first and second rutt. Very strange year.

16 doe 4 buck no shooters

Just about impossible to get around on the mountain in Sherburne today, snow was still just below the knees (and deeper in places)....

Recap of yesterday : Missed a nice tom but did get to enjoy the glow from the lite nocks, yes 2 of them. I watched a skid steer work in the patch of hard woods where that shooter comes from and had a guy walked right to my hanging stand at 3:45 pm, look up and ask if I was hunting?? because he wanted to WTF !!! Sometimes what you have to deal with hunting smaller pieces of woods on Long Island....Better luck this afternoon.

After yesterdays fiasco I hunted a spot this afternoon where my bud wounded one two weeks ago...Low and behold it appears the white horned, wide and tall mature 8 pt is alive and well with a bit of a limp coming from his left shoulder....That didn't seem to slow him down chasing does though. I believe the wind is right in the morning so I'll give it a shot.

Well that’s good news.

a few doe and 2 small buck yesterday
No pictures of the Turk for a week now

I'm off !!

One nice buck, borderline shooter with no limp so he got a pass at 32 yds and several doe.

deer in front of me but too dark to shoot,then buck chasing doe around the pines saw buck not a shooter never had an opportunity at the doe
Pouring rain if it lets up a little I'll go out last couple hours and try and make meat
No hunting Turk property creek flooded with rapid snow melt and rain

So far this season has been a challenge for me ...I'll try for "Limpy"again tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck to you guys.

Our season went quick, seeing over 70 deer between us over the past week.

Bumped a buck walking in saw 5 doe was gonna shoot a fat doe but she got the drop on me as I raised my gun
Glassed the cut corn field after I left and saw a bunch of doe and what looked like a very nice buck but just to dark to zero in on him through the binos
