Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live From My Stand 2022

Afternoon hunt 2 doe and 2 fawns and a 4 pt very slow cameras dead on 3 different properties
Warm weather through middle of next week not good

Took the day off back at it tomorrow....cameras are starting to fire at dark spike and 4 pt dogging doe

Scrapes all over and rubs showed up this week much later than usual I’m predicting after thanksgiving on rut here

Another slow morning a doe and fawn saw a good 8pt across road when walking out
Did have some activity on my camera at property near my home small buck a couple doe the 8 pt I passed on last week and another good buck but that was still dark and in the distance so couldn't tell if it was the guy I'm after. And just now as I type another small buck at scrape in rear stand so maybe things are starting to tick back up?

Skunk this afternoon

Things are perking up I got a good amount of pictures last night with a little chasing and bucks starting to prowl.
Saw 3 buck this morning 2 smaller buck a spike and 5 pt and a nice 8 pt all behind my stand and out of range
The 10 pt I had pictures of is now a 9 pt,the 8pt in pictures is the one I saw this morning and then at 8:54 am on my lease I had a shooter come right by my duck ladder stand
The natural 9 pt showed up also in the early morning at 4:26 am

Just a few minutes ago 12:32 pm right in front of my Cell tower stand where I hunted yesterday morning, you can see stand in background

Nice. I’m in Ohio bow hunting myself. Awfully hot but had target buck in range twice today in thicket with no shot

Good luck!!

been slow here Dan. Its warm and windy, they just started chasing good 2 days ago. Had 3 dinks chasing a doe and a 120 class cruising this morning. Big front pushing through tonight. I expect action tomorrow.

In a tree right now, 72 degrees.

Yep. Can’t kill them from the couch.

ETA - after I posted this I saw 3 bucks in the last 30 minutes of light. One good'un. No shots of course but still good to see cruzin bucks.

Dan, what's on that rock next to your stand? Is that your doing?

Yesterday afternoon was warm and no movement until I had lowered my bow and put my pack on
Turned to see a large body 50 yds a way
Pulled up the binoculars to see he was a mature shooter only 7 pt but mature heavy and wide with a huge fork on his left beam
He was with a doe
I figure he was tending her and got up at last light
I managed to take my pack off pull my bow back up and nock an arrow
The doe turned and went back towards thick stuff and a train came by and he turned and vanished with her
Was exciting none the less!
In stand now had a 4 pt walk right under me
Warm and breeze but I’m giving it hell anyway

The property I like to visit in eastern NY Taconics is a ghost town. Another hunter has moved in (literally) and has dominated it, pushing the deer out. EHD hit areas to the south and west hard last three years, so the influx of daylight field edge stalkers and 5PM walk in on me hunters have absolutely ruined a good thing.

I'm afraid the 20 yr good run of NY bowseason visits are over for me. Happy hunting, and best of luck to you guys!

Really enjoy the pics and the reports! Thanks!

Got it done in Ohio last night from same stand as last year almost to the day!

Good luck! Stay with it

Sat out yesterday afternoon and this morning very warm and cameras are dead looks like some cold weather comes in tuesday finally

Good stuff DVD, i'll sit this evening with my old Triax and see what may happen by, good luck and be safe Sir.

Good afternoon sit saw 4 different buck 3 pt 2 different 4 pt and a nice 8 pt that didn't quiet give me a shot, Walking out along the railroad track I could hear deer in the thick brush running and grunting
This is the 8pt that was on a doe going past another stand before they got to me

Bucks are cruising this morning
Had a shooter pass by but no shot

Any idea what this deer was??
