I shot another tasty Jake last weekend. I have not tagged out on Turks in about 15 years! Anybody else still hunting? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

About 15 years ago I missed one on opening morning. Then with a few days left in the season I shot a Tom in the same area. When I skinned him I could see the old (and new) shot in the breast. They sure are tough
I killed a Jake yesterday, that one never took a step.
I will be hunting up that way this weekend.
Stay after them!
Nice haul! Is it normal to get all females? I always get a mix but I rarely fish for perch this time of year. I assumed the males show up early to the party and stay a little late? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I run the M18 on a clam plate with a 7” lazer. I have been running it for 5 seasons with no issues so far. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
It was fun following along with you guys. I was lucky to put a buck and a doe in the freezer this year. I had some great sits this past week with an encounter with a nice shooter 8 out of range and quite a few small bucks and doe. It’s time to start scouting all over again.

I picked up a CVA Accura V2 a few weeks ago. I really like this gun. I put on an older 2x7x33 Leupold scope that I had on my shotgun. Everywhere I hunt is rifle now anyway. It is a nice combo. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
The Drurys swear by this south wind theory. The deer were moving good last night in the NZ. 2 bucks and 2 does and a fawn. That is great action for here this late in the season.
I own 140 acres in the Northern Zone and I do hunt low impact, I have a sanctuary, cover, and food. Once the rut starts they start getting picked off. Throw in a higher winter kill, 7 weeks of gun season, low number of doe permits, and a kill every spike attitude and it can be quite a challenge. I don’t shoot young bucks on my land and I see results even with those challenges. However when I hunt the finger lakes I see more bucks in 1 day than I see all season on my land... I actually like the challenge. If it was easy I wouldn’t hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
