Nicely done.

I can’t wait for next month. I am hoping to hit it a couple of times.

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

Did Wrights close in 2017?

I shot another tasty Jake last weekend. I have not tagged out on Turks in about 15 years!

Anybody else still hunting?

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.

You can choose a maximum of a 31 day interval.

 

Here is the last month for the Rochester Gauge.

This is fascinating for sure! That one fish went to Toronto and back in the fall.

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!

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?

I run the M18 on a clam plate with a 7” lazer. I have been running it for 5 seasons with no issues so far.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

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.

I think it’s a personal choice.
In some ways I feel blessed to have never killed a big buck. Still have a lot to look forward to.
If it’s a trophy to you, god bless. It’s your tag, use it as you see fit.

X2 on this.

I always joke with my friends that I am slowly work my way up to a “big” buck.

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.

Here we go again...... 1st south wind in q while and just like a light switch! Seriously pay attention to this guys. It's crazy how true it is. Hopefully with it switching to north later it will still have the same affect on this evening. Good luck guys

 

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. 

2x lol didn't read all the posts.

It is definitely easier and better if the neighbors abide by the same QDM standard , but I think it’s a myth that you need a ton of land for QDM to work properly. Certainly the larger the parcel, the easier it is to attain, but you can still do everything you can to make your land the best in the neighborhood.

It starts with a plan, sound and smart low impact hunting strategies, creating sanctuary, cover and food.....and that’s just the beginning

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.

Passed on a small 6 pointer opening morning just to have another hunter shoot it 30 minutes later, abut 100 yds. away. This management plan only works when you own the land.......

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.
