Back on Turnips hopefully the cold evening turns them on! No Whitetail sightings the last time I sat here.

Same here... no deer this morning just a fox. The wind is keeping me grounded to only a few stands, something a little different then WNW wind would be a nice change in pace

Sure home they move in between monsoons! Wind is cranking, sure glad I have an umbrella!

According to the book doe only Oct 1-15.

Christmas Eve..... tomarrow is the day.

Just settled into one of my favorite plots, last year was corn this year whent back to greens and put in Turnips.

I don't care who you are that would be creepy as hell! Awsome story and it will def make me look behind me a few times on my way to and from my stand!! Congrats on killing 2 of those killers!

Good Luck! They should move with the cold front moving in. Can't wait till Friday whether looks prime!

I agree Charlie probably knows more about Whitetails then everyone on this thread combined. To me the rut is triggered by the amount of day light period, which usually gets less and less at the same time EVERY season. I walked a new property that I just received permission for that borders another property that I already hunt yesterday afternoon and there were scrapes all over the place.

Best one I've took pics of so far..... pretty sure it's the same deer. He will get a free pass go till next year if he shows himself

Hopefully they walk across the road Friday........

Def sucks sitting on the couch drinking coffee wishing I was in a stand on this nice crisp morning! I'm going nuts! Tomarrow morning I have to get out.....Dan you should have been a poet

I have a life time license for every season imaginable, I would to afraid of loosing the privilege of using it. This state sucks

I'm with you Rob! Not only for that, but it's much to warm overall for me to even want to shoot a doe. Also, if for some reason the buck of my lifetime walk 15 yrds broadside, I will be honest by saying I'm not sure what I would do!! And people can tell you they would or wouldn't shoot, but until you are put in that situation there is no answer what would go down!

Seen a doe with to little ones tonight very slow

Congrats a great buck for sure! Can't wait for the 15th to be over so I can get a chance a a buck!

The DEC took the time from US guys that sit from Day 1 till the last 10 mins of season for ONE true deer of a life time period! This rule only hurts US that want to kill what they consider a trophy period. The 1st two weeks when bucks are most predictable by far and the last 2 weeks when they are most vulnerable by far ( which is when for the most part the guys who are looking for that big one are still hanging in a tree). Do as wish as a hunter by all means, but this rule has only hurt the meat hunter that also enjoy the bone!

I'm not arguing at alll. I'm just saying for me myself the gun season I much to long. Most states that hold big bucks have very short gun seasons. Like days and and not weeks. But this is only me being someone who wants to shoot big deer. It may not even be the length of season that bothers me it's the timing of it, dead in the middle of rut. ALOT of younger bucks get killed at that time. Kill them with whatever weapon of your choice and enjoy everyone of them. I just love Whitetail hunting!

Complete opposite! NYS gun season is way to long IMO.

Not bad in the woods at all

Had a doe with 2 little ones come through 45 mins ago. Feels good to be in a tree!

How would sacrificing by not going be for the greater good though Dan? How is you or anyone that says " nope I'm not going till the 15th" going to do to change there minds? They dont care about the hunter lets be honest, they already have our money for the licence and dollers are all this state cares about! They say that doe numbers are high thats why we can't shoot the bucks? Well they are not going have an excuse when you go and take as many doe's as you can?

I Will be out to night and I am going to wack the 1st respectable doe that walks by! Temps are low so you don't have to worry about rushing to get out of the woods and hung/ skinned. I will be hunting one of my "non buck" stands. This is why I love having fill in spots because at least it puts me in the woods till the 15th and gets me in tune for when mr. Big walks by. P.S. I am totally against what this state has taken away from us! But I will be damnd if they are going to keeping from doing what I love to do over some B S laws they decided to throw at us! Get in the woods shoot some does and get your confidence up.
