Squirrelhunter91 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Awesome. Congrats on the doe. I'm done for buck hunting here. I have two doe tags left and will have another antlerless tag when I go buy my muzzleloader tag tomorrow. This is the last weekend of our regular season. Muzzleloader opens Monday morning. I have to work tomorrow then I'm headed upstate with a friend who also has a doe tag for the WMU our land is in. Between our untouched land and all the land we usually do drives on, there's gotta be a pair of does out there just asking to catch a slug. We're getting rained on here where I live but the property upstate is getting 2-4" of snow tonight. Wish I was there to hunt tomorrow. The deer will be headed for the apple orchard no doubt about it. Good luck to all who make it out this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Shot a good sized 9 point last night with the shotgun! Will get pictures posted as soon as I figure out how on my phone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Congrats to all who have scored on deer. It's been a rough season for us. We've not seen any what we would deem as shooter quality bucks and even seeing does within shooting range has been tough. This past Saturday afternoon I was hunting a field edge next to about 2-3 acres of standing beans. We had 3-4 inches of snow on the ground, so we had a good food source for the conditions. I had three does come in and were within 50 yards of me for 45 minutes or so, but I was waiting to see if one of our mature bucks would come in. I had a 135" buck come in, but he's not what I'm looking for, so he got a pass. Muzzleloader season coming up this weekend, so I've got another shot with the gun. Not sure if I'll get another chance to get out and hunt after this weekend, so I'll be hoping to get one down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Congrats on that buck! Mach1.... were you guys effected by that EHD last year in the midwest? I hear its been a terrible year out there. We had it here 2 years ago but it only effected a very small area considering the size of our state. It was like a 100 square miles. The population is rebounding here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think we were sometime over the last couple years. Definitely not seeing the deer numbers that we're used to seeing, both does and bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Whacked another population control doe last night with the muzzleloader. Getting close to our antlerless goal. Congrats on the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) It's not deer, but it was still a good 45 minutes of hunting in heavy snow yesterday morning... Edited December 15, 2013 by Mach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 That's awesome. We got nailed with a foot of snow yesterday here. I was thinking about going out for waterfowl myself but the plow was nice enough to put a 3 foot bank in front of my truck last night.. No way did I have enough time to dig myself out and get a decoy spread layed out before the ducks started flying. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 We put out 15 dekes and sat in some head-high brush in a fence row between a cut corn field and cut beans. Drove right to the spot at 8:00 am, threw out our dekes, a little bit of calling when we heard birds, bang-bang, and we're literally loaded up and driving away at 9:10 am. Easiest, but best hunt I've been on ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Season is winding down here with late archery ending on Jan. 5th. Anyone out yet? Some bucks are dropping antlers already here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Deer closed where I hunt on the 17th. Westchester is still open til New Years Eve but tomorrows my last day to even consider going over there and it's supposed to pour tomorrow so that's out. Ducks & geese aren't though! That's prime weather for waterfowling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt or be Hunted Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I haven't been in the deer woods since firearm season. Hitting the rabbits and squirrels hard right now. I did get my buck entered in finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Season has been done for a while now. Winter is pretty brutal and we will likely have winter kill this year.....for both deer and turkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Winter has been horrible this year. We've had a few weeks of sub zero temps here.. It normally doesn't get that cold this far downstate in NY. I've been out stomping the woods looking for sheds.. Only came up with one so far. Been jumping the same group of bucks at one spot that still have both sides. Haven't come across any winter kills yet but I'm sure my land upstate has some. Going up there coyote hunting on Sunday.
