beagleboy Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have been out for about 10 days in a row and have only seen a small spike chase two does on Friday morning. Did the rut pass me by or has the peak of the rut not arrived yet in NY? What has everyone else seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Saw plenty of antlerless deer this past weekend - button bucks and does. I think in my area it is just about prime. Thing is shotgun is this weekend so after like the first 2 days, we lose natural deer movement...mostly due to the stupid, idiot neighbors.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 If it is cold this weekend, you should see some really good activity. Just in time for the orange army to chime in. I've been seeing bucks chase does since opening day of bow season. Have only been seeing them try to mate the last week or so. Saw a 6pt jump up on a does back. She wouldn't let him and she ran away. But he chased right after her with his nose on her tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hort Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Saturday morning, Nov.3rd, I saw a buck chasing a doe, with a spike trailing a few minutes behind them. Then as I was leaving around 12:30, I may have seen the same doe being chased by the same buck, but this time there was a big buck right behind them! I hunted the same stand the next evening and saw only a coyote.(Almost had a shot!!) Tuesday the 6th, I only had a couple of hours to hunt in the morning. I had two deer come into bow range and I shot the bigger of the two "does". She turned out to be a button buck:(! I hunted again in the morning on the 8th for a couple of hours and saw nothing. But I checked my trail cam and had a nice big buck in front of my stand at 2:16 PM, the afternoon that I had shot the button buck! I had a total of 5 different deer on the camera that same day and evening!!! I couldn't hunt again until Saturday, the 10th. I couldn't wait to get back into the stand!! I sat from 6:00am til 6:00 pm and didn't see or hear a deer until it was totally dark. I then heard a single deer trot by about 40-50 yards away. Sunday evening I got into the stand at 3:00pm. As dusk was creeping in I heard a deer coming towards my tree stand. It was a nice big doe, she gave me a nice broadside shot! About 5 minutes later, her boyfriend showed up on the scene! He wasn't the big wide 8pt on the trail cam but he was big enough for me!! I shot him also as he walked right below my tree stand!! He was a smaller 8pt but what a way to end my bowseason!! My first double with a bow!! Also my first three deer bowseason. I thank the good Lord for blessing my season!! I think we are in the main part of the rut here in NYS. Now is the time to be in the woods!!!! After this Saturday, everything will change!! Good Luck, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDAWG Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think It's getting to go into full swing. Yesterday, in the am, the leaves were wet so the woods were very quiet. I was able to get within 40 yrds of a 6pt and a doe. He was not leaving her no matter what. I have also been told by some hunters that the rut and the rifle season are at the same time down here in 3J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
