  11. Season Ending Rant Another season in the books. Certainly not one for the record books but a successful season none the less. The weather will be something that will be remembered this past season. Probably the single biggest factor on the year. Not once this season did I leave the woods as a frozen block of camouflage but instead I wore my early season camo for most of the year. Actually, as I sit and write this, it’s 61 degrees on Xmas eve morning. Crazy! Much of our deer season was spent with above average temps and it certainly affected daytime activity. The rut was barely a trickle and if it wasn’t genetically programmed I would be tough to convince it ever even happened. For me, I never saw it, daytime chasing was nonexistent and 2015 was far from a text book rut. The NYDEC… They really put a damper on the first 2 weeks of the season by making the majority of the DMUs that I hunt “antlerless†only and then add to that the much loved late season muzzleloader also hindered by the same rules. What a crock of ***!!! In the end the only thing theses new rules did was keep me from hunting and that is not a good thing. What a terrible decision by the DEC! In the end, while they were not extensive, I had my opportunities. Every big buck that I saw during the season was within range. During bow season I had a chance at 4 different “shootersâ€. I started with a miss, followed by a kill, and was tagged out at the time, so the other two got a free pass. During the gun season, 2 shooters. I missed a stud 10 point on opening morning and on the last day of the season I couldn’t get an “ethical†shot on a beauty chocolate racked 10 point. It is what it is! The highs and lows of deer hunting. They can also be giant peaks and valleys! I ride it like an emotional roller coaster! On the morning of November 2, everything came together for me and I arrowed a buck that I had been chasing. Trail cam videos told me he was there and a doctored scrape helped bring him within bow range and I am grateful for that experience. The off season, hopefully while there is snow on the ground, I will make some changes for next year. Each season tends to be a learning experience but you certainly have to pay attention in order to see it. I always have a long list of off season changes to stand sets. Some are simple while others are extreme. But I believe that you got to be aggressive. You can’t sit back and hope it happens. The season goes quick, so if something is not working, change it. Thanks to all who participated and those who simply followed this thread. Thanks! There is no lack of information on here and that’s what its intended purpose was. I know that it may be tough to believe, but I enjoy my time in the deer woods during archery season as much as my time on the water chasing trout and salmon. I try to share my time on the water the best that I can so the idea of sharing my time in the deer woods is no different. I know I should be asking if it is spring yet but…Is it November yet?
  12. For me, I only ship USPS because thats whats convenient for me. The nearest fedex/ups pickup is two towns away and almost 10 miles from me. USPS does offer Canadian shipping but has some down sides. #1 Cost. Its through the roof. Ontario canada is obviously closer than California but its cheaper to ship to cali. Like a third of the cost cheaper #2 no tracking. USPS does not allow for packing tracking in canada. In the us i know when and where everything was delivered but in canada nothing. If the usps would offer better shipping arrangements i would ship to our northern neighbors in a second. money is money!

  19. This afternoons sit is my last chance at an antlered deer. Taking a chance at one of my best stands to produce for me. Let's hope something makes a mistake. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. The shooting continues. Tons of gun shots this morning and from all directions. I'm thinking everyone is in the woods today. Easily the most shooting I've heard since opening day. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. Just had a freight train of deer come through... 10+ deer. Does, fawns, young buck, and a solid ten point. Just could not get a good shot. Wow! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
