Legacy

For the first time in 20+ years i hunted around home in 8A for opening day. Zero pressure as we were the only two people hunting in the block were in. A lot different from 9H in Wyoming county where i spent the past 10 years or so. Close to a million shots every opener, neighbors doing drives at 730 am, and guys in every block of woods. Really quiet here in 8A sunday morning I only hear 3 different guys shoot. Im sure the weather kept them out of the woods.

Well this morning was a tough sit! It was actually quite nice when i got to the stand but that was short lived once the sun came up. I did make it 815 before i decided it was enough abuse. 30 mph with gusts to 45 is no fun. Did see a small buck work his way through the cut corn field this morning. By the looks of it, the weather will probably put me on the sidelines until tues night/ wed morning.

Sorry about your loss buddy. The buck is just a sign from your dad to get back to the woods... He knows that the woods is where you need to be.

Well archery season went by fast... good luck everyone today. Be safe and shoot straight!

I had the same thing done a month ago. People suck! Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So on the walk in I had a skunk cross my path... Should I take that as a cruel joke to my archery season? Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Tough weather conditions are on their way. Saturday afternoon thru Monday night. Winds look terrible.

No doubt. Every year, it never fails. Its a sign that breeding is at its peak.

The great view! Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The most important thing in the off season is doing your homework. Scouting. Learning every ounce of the property. Habit enhancement. Food plots. Cameras. Hanging stands.The list is endless... But it all helps.With all the work done in the off season, now you enjoy hunting. Stay sharp, persistent, and disciplined. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So far just two young bucks cruising together. Lockdown. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So here's a pic of the buck that I missed two nights ago at 31 yards. I took the afternoon off yesterday from hunting. I shot two dozen arrows yesterday and it confirmed that the miss was all me. I figured as much. It should never be the equipment. I also Hung a new set midday yesterday with hopes to sit in it for the final two days of the archery season. The clock is ticking...

I haven't. But I've have hunted here long enough to know how this woods reacts to certain winds. This stand is set for SW wind but any south wind is virtually the same.Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Pretty quiet morning. I have only seen a four point so far. Weather wise it is another perfect day to be in the stand. Wind is the complete opposite of what is forecasted. NE instead of SW Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wow... Blew the shot. Stud 8. Came into the grunt call. Tough to judge distance in the field and shot over his back. Wow... Can I get a Mulligan? Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

330 in the afternoon and the Big 10 is on his feet... thats twice this week I've seen him do that. Might have to relocate a stand! Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Winter storm coming to wny this weekend? http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2016/11/15/winter-storm-headed-our-way/93895570/ Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Stepped on a mature buck walking on this morning. He was bedded on the path I walk in on. He looked to be the busted up mature buck I saw chasing a doe last night. The wind is goofy but I'm back in the same stand this afternoon. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Lone fawns... At least four of them so far today. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
