Opening weekend

[Yankee Troller]

I shot a doe on Saturday morning only to realize my tags were an hour and a half north of me! Sat Saturday night and passed on 5 doe(damn forgetfulness). Sunday morning (tags in hand) I saw 3 bucks. Went back for the night run and had a 130" running a doe down. He him stopped at 40-50 yards with vines in the way. So, he is still walking around as I declined to take the shot.

My buddy took a small 7pt on Saturday morning and saw a few other deer he passed. He passed on a small doe Saturday night. He then passed a 6pt (no buck tag) on Sunday morning and saw a nice 8 Sunday night.

A very active weekend and i was surprised to see that giant on a dead sprint behind the doe with his head down and tongue hanging out this early.

Congrats on your success YT. Same thing over in Wyoming Co. - does were very skittish, bucks chasing doe, making scrapes, rubs etc. Had a doe walking around with her tail straight up for a half hr. Passed up a couple "young ones" and a great weekend to be in the woods.

I know Wyoming County is large, but where in Wyoming County are you? I have been hunting a piece of property on Wyoming Road. Not sure where that is in regards to the entire county.

Near the town of Pike. Lotsa nice area in that county. Where were you at this past weekend? I also hunt in Allegany County near Rushford - some of my buddies that were hunting over there had similar sightings. I thought the rut was supposed to be late this year!

well, i lost that property on Wyoming rd. The guy who gave us permission doesn't even own the land. I felt like suck an azz when the nephew of the owner came by and asked us why we were hunting there.

WE weren't far from the Griffith Energy location though.
