With bow season beginning only 15 or so hours away in western NY I just wanted to wish everyone good luck and remind everyone to stay safe. I hope everyone gets a Bullwinkle this year.  I live for this!

 I tried something new this year. I had a old timer tell me to wash my clothes in apple juice so you smell sweet. I washed them this morning. I'll let you know how it works.

I saw turkeys, a fox, and 4 deer on Saturday. I had a doe and button buck at 4 yards below my stand in the AM. I just enjoyed watching her and let her walk. Next easy shot is backstraps. She was all over my tracks leading to my stand. Dedicated rubber hunting boots and scent-away works. Didn't hunt today. Too rainy and windy. |

This morning produced a 6 point buck within 40yds. (I let him pass for something bigger) and a small doe. I got out around 6:30am and within 2-3 min. of getting set up a coy dog came within 25yds of my stand in a corn row. I drew back on him and he suddenly stopped (bad shooting lane for me) and looked around and reversed direction and took off. He made my scent I think. |
After removing a tresspasser who was set up within 30 yds of my clearly visible hang-on stand yesterday afternoon  , I had a spike buck come out from my east. He actually came right up to my tree and sniffed my tree-steps. I was expecting him to flip out when the lightbulb clicked on, but he was unalarmed. I thought about pulling a "Tarzan/Ed Sr" on him, but let him walk Had a doe and a fawn at 25+ yards shortly after, but I like those close shots  I'm batting 1000 so far on seeing deer, with 2/3 hunts with deer in good shooting range. |
I have tried it it don't work unless your hunting in an apple orchard but I haven't see shit the weather has not been with us thats for sure but the seasons still young Good luck |
Tis the season. I was out again tonight and it was the first night I didn't see anything.  If the weather stays this warm the rut won't start until December

Well I took a good sized doe yesterday, freezer meat. I have yet to see a good buck at all (besides a 6 pointer) and have seen a dozen does. In fact the doe I shot yesterday was #7 in a line of 8 that went under my stand, no bucks in tow though. I almost hit a nice 6 pointer on my way home last night though.
