Legacy

Sure sign that lockdown is starting. Plenty of ripe does around at this point.

Ha!

Well I wasnt really in the market for a new jacket and bibs but after checking them out I pulled the trigger and bought them anyways. Thanks.

Personally I prefer Boss Sauce!

Seen in Brockport today... LOL

Damn. Sounds like a failed "Texas Heart shot" Congrats

Anyone have someone that does European mounts locally? With quick turn around? Westside of Rochester???

So I hate getting cold in the woods. Eventually I think we all do and I am always looking for ways to improve this. I recently spent some money on some "artic" weather gear that should help the cause for late season. We all know none of us have needed this stuff yet this year! Anyone in the market these might be worth checking out.

I remember when I was growing up and my uncle always made steak (deer heart) and eggs. Nothing more than thin sliced deer heart, butter, garlic, and a hot pan on the stove.

I may. Im certainly going to try to get caught up at work. We have 4 1/2 jobs to get done before the snow flies. Hunter has only hunted a couple times this year. He's a college kid with apparently no time. LOL.

Well I might have taken a day off from hunting but that doesn't mean I stayed out of the woods. Brought my kid out with me midday and moved a treestand. After deciphering what my cameras were telling me I went there on Wednesday after hunting all morning and did some quick scouting for the right tree. It was an absolute b*tch to hang but we got it done and that is what matters. The stand should really be a great one for gun/muzzleloader. It gives a better line of sight to cover the entire funnel with a gun. Ill be honest, I totally overlooked putting a stand there for the past 5 years and I have no idea why. I guess I'm always thinking stand placement and how they relate best to bow hunting. It will certainly be added to the 5-6 stand rotation for gun season. It was also placed for a southerly wind (SW, S, SE it doesn't matter) and I love having that option on this property when most of the sets are for northerly winds.

Ha ha not a chance!

November 7 pm 79 degrees SW wind 5-15 Mostly sunny Another crazy afternoon sit from the willows!!! The intense action started about 4 pm when the deer began to pour into the field from every direction. Bucks everywhere and of all sizes scent checking and chasing does. Had bucks working field edge scrapes, grunting, posturing, chasing each other away from does. For once most of the action ended up on my end the field. I spotted tonight's kill working his way down the field to the west of me. He could resist the flock of does that were feeding in front of me so of course he came to investigate. There was four other bucks within 100 yards of me at the time along with 10-12 does/fawns. He went right to the middle of the group, singled out one of the does, and chased her around for a minute. As this was all happening a doe popped out right next to my stand and watched. Like a lucky horseshoe! Well he quickly lost interest in the doe he was chasing and luckily moved onto chasing the doe near me. He bumped her, thankfully she ran right in front of me, and he slowly followed scent checking the ground. I mouth grunted and stopped him at 25 yards. I let the arrow fly and the Lumenok had me convinced the shot was gold. He ran full sprint out in to the field until he piled up 70 yards later. DOA. It's been a few years since I had a bow kill so it was nice to watch him drop dead in the field. Actually it's great to watch any kill drop. Autopsy confirmed a double lung. It was crazy to witness three other deer walk up to the dead buck. I watched a fawn and two other bucks each walk up to, I'm guessing, to see what the heck he was doing laying on the ground??? Even with the dead buck laying in the field the rut action never stopped. I stayed on stand well past dark hoping the field would clear out a bit before getting down. Bucks were still chasing does until eventually I bumped them off. Lots of pics of this deer, especially in November. Funny thing is he is actually blind in his right eye which is a recent wound. I'm guessing in the past 5-6 days. Deer never saw me coming!!! Amazing that even with injury to his eye all this buck wanted was some doe love. Amazing the power of testosterone! Unfortunately he is busted up pretty good on his left side. Both his g2 and g3 are broken off. In hind sight would have passed on him if I knew that before shooting him? I'm not sure. Everything happened so fast, I doubt it. I honestly saw that g2 and decided I was taking the next possible shot at him. Besides that uniquely tall g2 on his right side, his main beams almost touch at the tips and are about two inches from doing so. Time to think about a game plan for my next tag! Here is some other trail cam pics from the past week or so. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
