Very nice fish for Oneida. The average size has been creeping up in the past couple of years.

I shot another tasty Jake last weekend. I have not tagged out on Turks in about 15 years! Anybody else still hunting? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sounds tasty. I did turkey legs and thighs last night in an instapot with veggies. It came out great. In my opinion it is the best part of the bird.

Here you can choose from gauges all over the country. If you scroll down you can choose from 4 gauges on Lake Ontario. https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stations.html?type=Water+Levels You can choose a maximum of a 31 day interval. Here is the last month for the Rochester Gauge. Same period of time for 2018 Same period of time for 2017

About 15 years ago I missed one on opening morning. Then with a few days left in the season I shot a Tom in the same area. When I skinned him I could see the old (and new) shot in the breast. They sure are tough I killed a Jake yesterday, that one never took a step. I will be hunting up that way this weekend. Stay after them!

That is a great day! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice haul! Is it normal to get all females? I always get a mix but I rarely fish for perch this time of year. I assumed the males show up early to the party and stay a little late? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It was fun following along with you guys. I was lucky to put a buck and a doe in the freezer this year. I had some great sits this past week with an encounter with a nice shooter 8 out of range and quite a few small bucks and doe. It’s time to start scouting all over again.

X2 on this. I always joke with my friends that I am slowly work my way up to a “big” buck. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I picked up a CVA Accura V2 a few weeks ago. I really like this gun. I put on an older 2x7x33 Leupold scope that I had on my shotgun. Everywhere I hunt is rifle now anyway. It is a nice combo. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The Drurys swear by this south wind theory. The deer were moving good last night in the NZ. 2 bucks and 2 does and a fawn. That is great action for here this late in the season.

X3!!! A 1 Buck rule would be perfect. Happy Thanksgiving to All! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I own 140 acres in the Northern Zone and I do hunt low impact, I have a sanctuary, cover, and food. Once the rut starts they start getting picked off. Throw in a higher winter kill, 7 weeks of gun season, low number of doe permits, and a kill every spike attitude and it can be quite a challenge. I don’t shoot young bucks on my land and I see results even with those challenges. However when I hunt the finger lakes I see more bucks in 1 day than I see all season on my land... I actually like the challenge. If it was easy I wouldn’t hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Same thing happened to me last year. I passed a 6 pt in the Northern zone with the rifle and my neighbor shot it the next day. You need a lot of land for that to work. It’s better if your neighbors are all on the same page. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
