Legacy

First visitor to the swamp stand was a 1.5 year old 8 pt. Hopefully that's not all tonight.

My father in law took a 3.5 year old 10 point this am from 9h. He had lots of deer moving. 13 including three bucks. Old guy strikes again.

I would gladly except help from lady luck at this point...

Good luck!

These are the days we hope for in the off season. Seems like the perfect day to put a tag on one. So far two bucks on their feet.

Well all of tonight's action happened after 6:05. Doe w 2 fawns, small buck and a 3.5 year old. Passed a shooter 8 pt who showed up tonight with half a rack. Lucky for him. I'd like to see who's busting racks on this property.

It's seems as hunters that our own worst enemy is other hunters. There seems to be a large share of guys who simply don't care about anything but themselves and it affects all of us. Trespassing, theft, damaged to property are all things that keep us from opportunities with landowners who have a bad taste in their mouth. I feel I do the right thing. I knock on doors and get permission. I introduced myself to neighbors. I maintain posted signs. I send gift cards as a sign of appreciation. While you have these other guys running around raping and pillaging everything in sight. No wonder it's getting tougher to get permission from land owners. In the first month of the 2016 season I have had a memory card stolen from a camera, a camera stolen, and the bottom section of a ladder stand stolen. One trespasser caught. Last year... One stand stolen and one camera. Two trespassers caught. All from different spots. These low lifes exist everywhere apparently. Pretty sad too when it's the neighbors who trespass. Too bad we can't just shoot on site and display their heads on spikes for others to see. I know i would feel better.

I just stopped a trespasser carrying a ladder stand down the edge of the field. Apparently he was pulling his stand out of the property to the south so he could put it on the property to the north all by walking through the middle property. I had to explain to him what private property is. He explained to me that he got permission 25 years ago. He also couldn't name the owner of any of the properties. Local guy. Crossed three lines of posted signs to get here. Wtf.

Looks like Monday and tuesday mornings will be good to go.

Yup very short fall turkey season this year, just two weeks.

Apparently I picked the wrong spot this morning. It's Feast or famine.zero movement here in Wyoming county.

Congratulations salmonite

Lots of deer on their feet on my ride to the southern tier this morning!

This buck got the blood pumping tonight. Too bad he's just a 2.5 bruiser. 4 broken points including both main beams. He also had three puncture wounds from fighting. One on his back, one on his side and one on his neck. Someday he'll be champ! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Snuck through the middle of the corn field to get to my swamp stand. First hour and a half have been quiet.

Congratulations

Small buck irritating a doe in the field. She's not amused...

A hour to the southern tier but I spend most of my time local so 10-15 minutes.

November 4 and as you could probably guess, I am in a tree. Weather, conditions, and timing all seem perfect. Two small bucks have already passed through.

Hung a new set this afternoon. Pretty breezy in 8a so I'm hoping it helped with the noise. It has all the makings of a stellar spot. A little tight in here and It could definitely use a pole saw. Hopefully the deer like it as much as I do!

Update deer all over the place in irondequoit. Had a big 8 pt cross the road. Bucks, does, fawns all up on their feet.

Deer are on their feet after the rain! Deer all over the place on the way to work including a decent buck tending a doe.

Ok 1 more video... A buck bachelor group providing the entertainment from one night in early September!

Doe with quadruplets? Yup! Behind my house I have a doe with 4 fawns. The camera is pointing at a mock scrape with a scent dripper on it. Look at the fawn that is in the scrape. It has a huge tumor on its chest.
