The season is almost here. I emptied the boat yesterday in preparation for her long winter nap:( I never like to see the boat on land but i can imagine 51 days of archery will help cure the blues a bit. Clothes are washed, bag is packed. I think im ready. I need to continue to find time to visit the backyard range a few times a week but im as ready as im gonna be. The schedule has been crazy so I was a couple of weeks behind getting cameras out this year. Its been a month since i put 5 cameras out and I think im more excited to get out and see what I have on camera. I have been patiently waiting to see pic. Most of the cameras are deep in the woods and I didnt want to make a special trip and trample into the woods unnecessarily just to check them. I will have to wait until I pull cards on my way in to hunt. Throughout last season, I made notes on set changes. Stands that needed a bit of "tweaking" in the off season all based on hindsight from the deer season. About half the time i get a bow stand right the first time. But the other half of the time, some adjustments are needed. (Some stands were yanked, some were moved a couple trees away, I even moved one about four inches to the right on the tree.) I did make it through my entire punch list, so lets hope it pans out.

I don't typically play with scents too much.( Doe in heat, doe pee, buck pee, etc) but I do play with Mock scrapes. I've actually had very good luck with mock scrapes. The licking branch is everything and the best ones already get scrape attention. For the most part I get a reactionary scrapes in close proximity to my mock scapes. 2-4 typically. And that just helps putting some natural scents closer to my stand. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Quote from NYSDEC website... In WMUs 1C, 3M, 3S, 4J, 8A, 8C, 8F, 8G, 8H, 8N, 9A, and 9F, deer populations are resulting in unacceptable impacts to residents and local ecosystems, and greater antlerless deer harvests are needed to achieve desired population levels. Offering increasing numbers of Deer Management Permits (DMPs; antlerless tags) each year has no longer been a productive way of increasing antlerless take, and changes were needed to direct hunter effort towards antlerless deer. "Strategy 2.2.6: Where deer populations are above desired levels and DMP quotas may exceed applicant base, initiate a progressive and adaptive approach to increase antlerless harvest by: (Phase 1) expanding the use of Bonus DMPs; (Phase 2) making a portion of the early bowhunting season and late muzzleloading season valid only for antlerless deer; and (Phase 3) implementing a special antlerless-only season for muzzleloader hunters in these areas." 70% of my hunting is done in 8A. Theres is not an over abundance of deer. Not even close.

A lot of talk about the changes for this season. I thought i would post some links for everyone to educate themselves on the changes for this season. I try but Ill be the first to admit that i am not informed enough on what is happening. I believe the DEC is clueless in the way they handle these things! Heres a link to the changes in hunting laws...http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8312.html Heres a link to the comments the DEC received prior to these changes... http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/103040.html Heres a link to the 2010 hunters survey... http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/hdrudeer10.pdf Heres a link to the 2012-2016 management plan for whitetail deer in NYS... http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/deerplan2012.pdf
