November 2 pm
44 degrees
NW wind 10 mph
Cloudy skies
Long quiet sit this afternoon until and hour before dark and things got crazy. Handful of bucks chasing and bumping does. I noticed a lot of button bucks by themselves in the past couple of days. Scrape activity seems to have slowed a bit. The primary scrapes are getting hit but no doubt a lot less secondary scraping happening.
Exactly the same on all your observations over here in Niagara county. The same reported from friends in Cayuga and Alleghany counties as well. There has definitely been some early lockdown and I think its starting to break free again. Lonely, skittish fawns seen all over. Good luck Rob.

One option that has helped archers stay in the game is an ARD sight. Check out their Facebook page and web site. Last year I went to one on my compound and it helped and has helped many with tired eyes or different eye issues. Too much to explain here but the owner will even talk to you on the phone. Archery Red Dot.
Im sure this will be a better option than trying to learn to shoot a RH bow left handed.

I guess we know where all the three-year olds came from.
The naturalization of Pacific Salmon in the Great Lakes is one of the greatest fishery stories of all time. After being screwed up by the construction of the seaway and rampant gill netting it is awesome to see protected sites like this. We need more ladders, dam removal and protected spawning water.

Opening day gun season
The bad...
Well the morning started with a trespasser to the north of me shooting 14 times before 8am. He's a local guy and he just doesn't care about anything. I walked out about 10am to help my kid with his deer and found my truck was egged. Yes I said egged. I'm making the assumption that one of the neighbor's assumed it was me shooting up the woods right behind houses and was p*ssed. While I was loading my kids deer in my truck I got a picture of a trespasser (assuming it was the same guy) walking passed the stand I was just in. Please make note of the attire.
Ridiculous stuff.
Sadly I heard of more of this yesterday than ever before. Just more of the deterioration of society. Less people willing to give permission, careless acts committed on public, and private tracts becoming too costly for most are all contributing to good people leaving the pursuit.

The ole man wanted to put a good buck down with his pistol this year. And he got it done today! Might be the first time he has ever used both buck tags!
Please tell Pops congrats for me. That property acquisition sure has worked out for you and the fam.

The good ...
We the highlight of my day was my kid taking down one of our target bucks. It was a unique deer with a double beam and he was very visible on cameras for us all season. I'm pretty damn impressed with the season he has had!
Super cool buck! I love the unique ones. Tell Hunter Congrats!

I know it doesn’t always line up with your trawl findings but all species seem to be having no problem finding and eating giant, old alewives(wasted fish flesh?) . We have for weeks had some fouling of our lines by impaling alewives. Guys are encountering these extra large alewives at spawning sites as well
Of course we are seeing other age classes of alewives but it seems like an uptick in the extremely large population.
Stay well and get some rod time in for yourself. Lady O is heavy with 2 yr olds this year but the fight in the fish is extraordinary now that they are in full blown Summer pattern.

This is great news! My experience with surveys both in purchasing/selling as well as insurance surveys has been less than stellar. The so called “certified” surveyors have been the worst.
The fact that Brian is in our community of anglers and isn’t going anywhere should bring confidence in making him the choice when a survey is required.
Good luck with your new venture Brian!

2012 again? Wasn't the 2011 2012 winter warm like this? That season was amazing!
2012 was amazing. Not only the non winter but the 2 yr old yr class was the result of the largest wild hatch of Chinook the Lake has seen. 2018 was also very good due to strong survival of the 2yr old age class.

I think the smelt are loving the mud plume. I think you will see an uptick in smelt. I think you will see a great looking class of two year old kings that have been able to feed up all winter on YOY. Surface temps that I believe are recorded 30’ down are showing 39 degrees offshore. Kings actively feeding all winter might balance out any gains in alewife stocks.
Agreed. 2 yr old Kings will dominate and be healthy. I had a 10lb returning “Jack” from last Sept aged by DEC because I was suspicious by it build that it was only a 1.5 yr old. Sure enough it came back at 1.5 yrs old!
As for Kings feasting on that big alewife year class- lets hope so. It will even out the age structure and give this years alewife crop a shot at better survival.
If not for King predation on alewife, this biomass would be a mess.

Were the browns all that different in color phase or is that just the way the pics look with the lighting or angle?
Looks like Yankee got into mixed age classes. Fish that have spawned will hold their spawning colors right into Spring. Males usually have more vivid coloring than the females. Some very nice specimens there.

Looks like an immature Atlantic.

I remember responding to his inquiries to moving his boat west temporarily several years ago. As it usually seemed to be the case, he was concerned about getting his visiting friends or family on fish. So sorry for this loss. Our deepest condolences to his family and close friends.

Very sorry for your loss

Rob I was late to the cellular game but Spypoint has a very economical plan for running a bunch of cams. I tried a couple of Tactacam reveals behind the house and pic quality is superior but not enough to get me to switch when running a bunch.

I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Dan "Double D" for taking the time to get my gun issues taken care of. In the past week or so he has dealt with a handful of phone calls from me. I ended up purchasing a new scope (based on his recommendation). He then took the time to mount it, bore sight it, and even took it to the range to get it close to zeroed. I can't say enough.
I spent some time today at the range regaining confidence in my gun. Gun likes to be dirty so the more I shot the better it looked on paper. All seems good so I head to Ohio hoping to get an opportunity at redemption!
Good luck in Ohio Rob

My observations say they were up. Jacks are 1.5 yr old males that sexually mature, return to tribs, spawn and die just like 2.5s, 3.5s and the rare 4.5s. They appeared to be in exceptional condition with some making it to 10 lbs.
Biologists from the Salmon world have said that a higher number of jacks means the year class is well represented. Jacks play an important role in wild populations as they are able to reach upstream gravel during low water years while having an easier time avoiding predators.
Merry Christmas!

Brian is an excellent presenter and an expert on all things Biomass.

Careful Vince, you might make him smile.
There's two situations when he smiles ear to ear non stop 1) when he's taking our money at a tourney due to a high placing 2) When he's sitting in an all inclusive with his bride by his side and a drink in his hand. All other days they come out begrudgingly.

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.
.
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!

"Less is more" again this season Rob! Great buck!

Legacy -The 2024 Deer Season-
in Big / Small Game
Posted
Always look forward to it. Its not just the deer, but sunsets on the vast ranches, the hilly terrain, zero trespassers on the huge fair chase properties, and the overall lifestyle down there. The locals are all armed but the salt of the earth.
