November 19 am 28 degrees SW wind 10-15 mph Cloudy Opening day gun season Well my archery season wasn't what I had hope for. Damn work got in the way of hunting. The last two days I was hesitant of hunting because of the wind. A steady light wind works for where I wanted to be but not a heavy gusty wind so I stayed out. And I'm glad I did. I got in stand about 610 or so and slowly got settled in with hundred layers. Before I even got my jacket on I had a buck sneak past me about 30 yards. It was too dark to tell which buck it was but of course I was convinced it was one of my target bucks. Ill admit... it screwed with my head a bit. Gun shots started ringing out about 639ish from every direction. Then about 715 I noticed movement cutting down the same spot cruising bucks have been using for 2 weeks. Things happen fast. It doesn't take long to realize he's a shooter. I stand turn to my right. Rest the gun on the tree. The deer just happens to stop at 30 yards and I pull the trigger. He dropped in his tracks but I got hit high. 9x scope at 30 yards I guess I should have held down on him. I had to finish him off with a second shot. If only the guy shooting was as good as the gun. [emoji38]. To my surprise i have no history with this deer. Big thick wide 9pt with split g2. I'll be patiently waiting on the late season to start!

November 16 pm 41 degrees WNW wind 5-20 mph Cloudy Some good action this afternoon from the second I sat down. Dozen does and fawns. 4 bucks. 3 1.5 year olds and the floppy eared stud. I noticed the does I saw were crazy skittish. I'm sure they are sick of the harassment. On the way out between the stand and the truck in the adjacent field, I bumped over 2 dozen deer. They were apparently pounding the picked butternut squash field. I was also greeted by a skunk. We made eye contact and slowly gave each other distance and allowed each other to pass. Clock is ticking... Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Just had another encounter with the big buck that I saw on Sunday afternoon and also Monday morning. He came out and worked a few scrapes down the edge of the field before dipping back into the woods. Oddly he has a big sticker on his right side that seems to interfere with his ear. He literally looks "floppy eared" every time I see him. Strange. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Been on stand since about 230 or so and have been covered in deer. This is the first sit in this set. This set actually hung about 40 yards away and I hunted it on a much different wind. Now it is set for West or Nw preferably. Better entry point. Better line of sight. I like it much better. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Took the savage 220 to the range one last time before the opener. I can't say enough about that gun. Thank you to whoever convinced me in buying that model. I know most of you are shooting rifles at this point and there is only a few of us left hunting in a shotgun only area. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

November 16 am 35 degrees SW wind 5-15 mph Cloudy Snow turning to light rain Well for the first time this year I hunted over snow. It was just a light dusting but it was the first for me. Although a picture perfect morning the action was quite slow. I had an unknown deer walk by in the dark just as I say down. About 930 I had a shooter 8pt come by just out of range. 45 yards or so. That's the second time this week I had a mature buck hug that edge of the pinch and just out of range. That would be it for my 4 hr morning sit.

November 14 am 33 degrees NW wind 5 -10 mph Cloudy Late start at work this morning so I spent a few hours in a tree. Had another encounter with the same big buck from yesterday. Had him at 40 yards at 645 this morning but no chance at a clean shot. As cold as it has been I figured it would have been an action packed morning but I only saw 3 total. 1 mature buck, 1 young buck, and a fawn. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
