Hey where are the NY deer?

Hey, how'd the rest of you NY hunters do today if you were out? andy and I went out, mainly did small 2 person drives, saw absolutely nothing, no other people tracks, not really any fresh deer sign with the dusting of snow. Not sure where the heck the deer are. We have out buck tags left. We even did a patch of hemlock the deer typically go in when there is weather like this but nothing. Anyone have the same day? And any suggestions for hunting this last week of the season? this will be Andy's last weekend as he has work but I have this whole week off and will be able to hunt by myself so any suggestions on how to find bucks this late will be good. Good luck everyone and be safe!

Was hunting region 3H mighty hard the last few weeks and have nothing to show for. Not even seeing smaller bucks, spikes and forkhorns, let alone shooters. Antler rstrictions in 3H make it harder to find a legal buck, couple that with little or no DMP's(doe tags)3 preference points needed for one and it makes for one frustrating season.

So nothing to report as far as kills.

I got a 6pt buck tonight about 2pm down at my buddies place, I was not gonna go out but I was down there visiting him and he said to me bring ur gun just in case we decide to go out, I was like ok. so we went out at about 1 and saw a couple of does and small bucks and then this bruiser came thru the trees and I fired a shot got him he ran right to my buddy and as my buddy was ready to fire he fell and that was it for him my buddy called me on the walkie talkie and said did u shoot a deer and I was yeah were is he, he said right at my feet now. I ran there to get my deer. My buddy lives in Prattsburg which is 9P by the way. I live in Henrietta which is 8H, so I know about the problem with no deer in 8H they moved south for the winter lol.

Got any pics. of this bruiser 6-pt? I happen to live in Prattsburg, which is in WMU 8P (and 8R) not 9P.

Things have slowed way down around here but there were a number of monsters taken around the house during the first week. I've never heard of so many 20"+ deer being taken in a single season. I managed to put a couple of fat does in the freezer. There's still some big deer in the area but the lack of hunting pressure due to all the posted property, combined with the warm weather has really had them holed up. Oh well, can't kill 'em all. Opening day of 2007 bow season is only 10 and a half months away... crazy.gif.
