beagleboy Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Its' was my 6th day out so far since the gun opened up in NY and I have not seen a buck so far. Last couple of days I haven't even seen does. Looks like this year might be a bust. Last two mornings the property has been a ghost town. Where have these deer gone? Anyway just blowing off steam. Good luck to all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Re: So far no luck in NY Gun season seems to go that way around here too. If you want a decent deer, you better get it in the first day or two. I once saw a statistic that something like 75% of the nicest bucks are taken on the first day of gun season. It doesn't take too long and the deer go nocturnal or sit real tight, or find ways to slip hunters. One survival tactic I've seen the local deer do around here is bunch up and stand in the middle of a field until dark. It's pretty funny in a way that these deer learn so fast. There's virtually no way a hunter can get within range of these deer using a shotgun. Might have to push the thick stuff real slow beagle.

wtnhunt Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Re: So far no luck in NY Been a really slow season here too. Saw nothing yesterday at all, however heard a herd of deer move through behind me right at dark yesterday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Re: So far no luck in NY It has been slow here in NY. Didn't see any deer really until I got a button buck Thursday but as you, we are not seeing any racked bucks! Go figure, and it isn't because others have gotten them here, because barely anyone has gotten a deer on the property we hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
