western NY bowhunter Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Re: Western NY Action? I'm hunting here in NE Steuben County and so far things are pretty slow. Althought I've only been out 4 times so far, I've seen more bucks than does. I've had 10 bucks (all yearlings) within 40 yds, but haven't got a shot yet. The funny thing is that I've only seen one deer from the stand so far and that was last night. I had just pulled my bow up into the tree and was attempting to get the rope off and I looked over just in time to see a buck 25 yds. away turn around and run the other way. On all the other bucks, I've been able to stalk within range of them after leaving the stands. Tuesday night I was able to get within 35-40 yds. of 5 little bucks that were sparring and pushing each other around. I haven't seen anything in a week or too of the several nice bucks that I watched all summer and fall in the alfalfa fields around the house, but I know that they're still around. The does are still stacking in the fields pretty good so it's just a matter of time before the nicer bucks start cruising and checking them out. I've heard of several people taking deer so far, but nothing big. Things should start to heat anytime now. I can't wait! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Re: Western NY Action? I'm in Allegany county and saw one doe from my stand Monday evening and nothing since. Been seeing deer out in one field a couple nights now walking back. Hopefully tonight I'll have a little more luck. Good luck to the rest of you!

Doc Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: Western NY Action? Ontario County (Bristol) has not looked real good for me, so far. Sign and sightings look pretty dismal. Of course, the weather hasn't been real helpful. Yesterday was the first sun that I have seen since the season opened, and we are stuck with a goofy southest wind direction that has been going on for days. That wind direction is so rare that I am not really set up for it in too many of my hunting locations. I have been rained out more days than I have been able to hunt. The weather forecast looks like there may be some changes coming. I hope so. This season has been pretty darn boring so far. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWiggely Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: Western NY Action? Hunting has been decent in Cattaraugus county. Deer have been moving well. No real signs of rutting activity yet. Only a couple of rubs have popped up on my land. No scrapes. I have seen a big 6 point out in the fields checking does and pushing a few around. But I think he just has the itch a little too soon. Wigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
