Turkeygirl Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well it's the opener of gun season here in Ny...and it is pouring rain out! Andy and I are heading out though about 20 after 6....any other day we'd be out there already, but it is kinda wet and going to be like this most of the day I think. I bet it'll cut down on the # of hunters out there today but calling for cold and some snow tomorrow so things should pick up. Anyone else going out this morning or went out?

Turkeygirl Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Saw a dinky spike this morning other than that, it just rained. Pushed a small one past Andy. Other than that, the neighbors are out shooting up a storm and freaking the deer out...it would be nice to hunt the deer on their regular pattern during shotgun, rather than just being in the right place at the right time when one get spooked by you....raining again, will head out soon probably Good luck everyone!

hort Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Rain, Rain, Rain and More Rain Wow, That had to have been the wettest opening day ever here in NYS! It poured most of the day. The rain would seem to start letting up but then it would start pouring again harder than before. If it wasn't that it was opening day and also the first deer hunt for my 15 yr. old son, my two sons and I would have stayed home. We were on stand at 5:45 and stayed until 3:30. The boys had had enough (Dad also) so we headed out. Total deer seen, ZERO!!! Some friends of ours have a gang of about 12 hunters on their property. One guy saw one doe and got her. That was it and they stayed till dark. They also had some first timers in their group. That's a tough day for a young hunter. We're all looking forward to some colder temps. I probably won't be able to get my boys out again until next Saturday. Pray they have better weather and a more productive day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow32 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hunted all day. 3 good bucks saw and quite a few doe. Got soaked to the bone cold and now just relaxing with the fire place a going. Atleast for the rest of the week there calling for chances of snow.

Turkeygirl Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well my opening weekend was a bust...I like archery way better....had one opportunity at a small, tasty one, on a drive Andy and I did, it came running right at me, 10 yards away and I hesitated because I didn't want to shoot it front on. Other than that, ran into the neighbor's party of 7 guys this afternoon....I hate gun just because we can't get deer on natural movment during shotgun, the neighbors run the deer hard. Also found an almost empty beer can on a field behind my stand where someone shot last night....let's just say that was disgusting and I also know that if you are drinking and hunting, you can be arrested.....grrrr...
