Gill-T

Finished voting. Had a nice breakfast with the Mrs then waited for rain to push out changing the wind to S. On way to stand just now there was a long spike chasing big momma hard. Had to tuck into some goldenrod until they moved on. Game on!

Agree. In NYS that is a 3.5 at least. Send a tooth in and have it aged.

How the hell does one go to work after that hunt transpired? You should go for walks more often!

Just saw a slammer birddogging some goldenrod along the side of the highway. One of the best times to be on stand this time of year 10-12:00.

I will be out Tuesday after I vote, Thursday and Friday. I will report happenings in WNY. One thing for sure, you need your head on a swivel with the wet leaves and wind as these bucks appear out of no where.

Hunted all day Friday only to see three scrub bucks cruising but not linked up with does. Deciding to stir the pot, I sprayed a can of buck-boner along all the golden rod entry trails to a nearby cornfield. Today there were little bucks harassing doe groups all morning, but no big boys. My brother was hunting nearby and put a crossbow bolt into a doe. Doe ran off and the spike with her became frantic looking for her. Birddogging back and forth for an hour until he found her trail. The doe ran across a swollen creek and died on the other side. Remarkably the spike was able to follow the doe trail across the water and ended up with her again. My brother was shooting a rage and I would have to say I would not recommend that broadhead with a fast crossbow. The arrow entered in the sweet spot behind the crease 1/2 way up and deflected upward coming out the back strap on the opposite side (deer was shot from the ground). Not sure if the spike had relations with the doe before it's death march or after it's passing (hey you have to get it where you can) because after chasing off the spike we noted a slight mess around the lady's special area....... ( my brother promised it was not from him).

Young bucks definitely cruising. I saw a couple crossing fields while driving down I -90 early afternoon.

It would appear she is guilty of reminding folks it is a class C felony in the state to vote twice.

Ya.....not quite understanding this one either. These days you can't believe anything. CNN skews news to benefit democratic candidates, Fox news makes up stuff and skews news to benefit republican candidates, and the president is liar. Hold your kids close.

A few small bucks cruising in am and pm sessions. Sat all day. This rain has them in a depression

I am spending my time adorning my hat with leaves.

Slooooowwwww

Are the cows in the fields laying down?

Saw one small buck so far at 8:30. Does I think have gone into hiding. New rubs and border scrapes showing up.

Cool deer congrats

1.5 miles is nothing to a buck.

Good luck with your search.

Sans the spine and major vessels, there is a lot of muscle-only areas in the neck. A bullet has a different effect of course.
