Legacy

The curse continues for me also!

Good to be back in the woods. Not a ton of action but the right kind of action. had a breeding party come through the woods. Stud 10 point on the tail of a doe with a couple of little bucks in tow. Of course they stayed in the thick stuff. Big buck snorted wheezed and chased a small buck off. Grabbed the grunt and did a series of tending grunts. Had a wide racked short time ten point come in from behind me and was gone in a heartbeat. Never had a good shot. It happened fast and with the wet ground, he was dead quiet. Didn't notice him until he was 20 yards from me. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Congrats Gene

This morning, the wind continues its wrath. 23 mph w/ 30+ gusts but I guess it is improving. Maybe give it a shot this afternoon and sit on food. Looks like the wind will finally be quitting overnight tonight. So should be back at it again soon. Hate watching from the sidelines.

Looking for advice on ammo for my mz. Anyone else shooting this gun and done their homework? I would like to stick with triple seven powder. 100 grains (two 50 pellets). I am not having consistency with power belts. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So this 8pt has shown himself 5 times in the past two weeks to this camera. The corn was cut 4 days ago and he has shown up two of those nights (but in the dark) presumably to check scent check does in the field.

What??? No one hunting this morning???

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.

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...
