Deer numbers are low, Must be all the mountain lions... internet says this trail cam photo of this year-long buck was taken this past week in the town of Newfane.
What a difference a week makes. The tolls of gun hunting pressure are surely being seen in the deer woods of 8A. Daytime deer activity has screeched to a halt. History has taught me that the majority of gun hunters hang it up by the end of thanksgiving weekend.

Kicked up a doe and buck walking in this morning. It's the third time in 13 months that I've done that in that exact spot. It's A real thin hedgerow, at the top of the hill, in the wide open, and apparently must be a romantic location.

A good amount of shooting this morning for 8A. Certainly the most since opening day. All of it coming from the neighboring county of Orleans.

Pulled another camera out of the woods last night for the season. A crazy amount of buck activity on this property between November 9 - November 19. 12 different little bucks (no big boys).
A must see! Check out these pics of this buck!
So I cut a trail from the field edge into the woods to get to a new stand I hung this year. It didnt take long for the deer to start using the trail, (of course). On November 12 i made a mock scrape with a perfect licking branch on my access trail and hung a camera. (due to gun season and the threat of theft, i pulled the camera today). From November 12 - November 19 the site had 22 visitors. Lots of young bucks and a handful of does. No big boys though. Heres some of the better footage.
