Nothing for me in 8F except cold wind in my face ..... I did have a 3 year old 8pt last night come into the “can” call but hung up around 40 yards before taking off when the wind swirled Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I sat today out. A much needed relax day as I’ve been hunting hard and out of town a lot. Living through everyone else today. Will be back at it tomorrow morning. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Was down in 7R the last three days. Scrapes and rubs showing up daily. No daytime movement for us. Came home unpacked checked the radar, packed the truck, headed out and now sitting in my stand in 8F for the night. Very little sign here as far as rubs or scrapes.....

My property in 7R has BIG BEARS. The first morning to my stand I had my headlamp on and it created shadows from overhanging branches on the trail. I damn near had to turn around and change my shorts ..... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Walked my entire property in 8F. Found good runs but zero runs and no scrapes. Activity starting to pick up down in 7R with bucks seen during daylight and some scrapes opening up. Home in 7A not much going on yet. Everything still nocturnal with not much sign Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Will the finger lakes chapter go to Newfield NY ( 20 minutes south of Ithaca ) ? I don’t need one now but it’s good to have someone if need be ....... ‘Bout Time Mike

My first time ever bow hunting was out of a blind. Had 3 big does come in front of me at 15 yards. I pulled backed and just popped up enough for my sight pins to be on her. When I released the arrow I couldn’t figure out what the hell happened. Then I looked down. I did the same exact thing. The arrow sits lower then my sights - lesson learned 'Bout Time Mike

Get to my stand about 25 minutes before legal light. Climb up, get strapped in and get all situated. As I sit down my elbow knocks into my bow and down it goes 20 +\- feet. The arrow snaps in half and the string comes off, quiver goes flying etc. I packed up and got down, picked up all the pieces and head home. I loosen the draw weight, put it In the clamps and get the string back on. Next I have to reinstall the peep as that also came out. Tighten the draw weight back up after giving the limbs a thorough inspection. Take it outside a small adjustment on the peep and it’s hitting dead on. Back in my stand for the afternoon. I sure as hell hope it goes better than my morning did. 'Bout Time Mike

For heat I use a Buddy Heater and an old Coleman Tent heater (dome type). I don’t have power at the trailer and just use the lantern for light. I do however have a small 1500 Honda generator that I bring as emergency backup should I need it ‘Bout Time Mike -
I run a 25’ trophy. My setup is 3 riggers across the back and then rod holders on each gunnel. I always run the two corner riggers and dispys off each side. The center rigger either goes in or the rod holder can be used for copper down the chute. My best setup all season was three riggers, 2 dipsys on the starboard side, one dipsy on the port side and a copper off the board on the port side. ‘Bout Time Mike -
Had the same exact thing last year. Absolutely the worst thing I’ve done and I’ve done a lot (ex motocross racer). They clipped My nerve while prepping me for the actually surgery. They told me I’ll be at 60% the first year, 75% by the second and the best I’ll get back is 85% after 3 years. Hang in there. All I can say is do as much PT as possible. I did X Bow last year because i couldn’t pull my bow back. I lowered my draw weight to 52 +/- this year and now am just able to draw it back. Start low and gradually increase it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel believe it or not. Best of luck to you !!!! ‘Bout Time Mike

Had a busted up 6 walk by me at 30 yards and hung out for 2 minutes. 4 on one side and other side was broken up. 45 minutes later doe and two fawns skirted through. I took video of them all. Action has slowed for me now Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Not a single deer on my way to my Wayne county property. Very strange. Normally there’s a ton on my 40 + mile drive. Hopefully they’re just sleeping in today. Time will tell..... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Buddy from camp was in stand for 30 minutes yesterday and saw a buck up on the ridge. He hit the esterus can and he came in on a dime. Best thing is he had his trail cam running on video and caught the whole thing ‘Bout Time Mike

After looking at some YouTube videos and doing some research I installed a homemade phone/video holder to try this year. “L” bracket bolted with my stabilizer and epoxy from HomeDepot glued to the back of the belt clip of my cell phone. Just had to notch out where the lens is. It snaps in and out for easy removal. Hopefully will get some cool Videos to share ‘Bout Time Mike

I hunt in a corner between a bedding area and a bean field. Only real way to access stand is walk along edge of bean field and take a 90 and walk along next edge to stand. This morning on my way in a jumped one deer out in the beans (happened before) so I thought “not that bad” then I made the 90 and it looked like the zoo let out. Must have been 12-15 deer all heading different directions needless to say that was it for the morning. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I’m not a “huge” fan of it but can honestly say it’s allowed me to sit longer on crappy days. The older I get the less tolerance I have for being wet and cold ... 'Bout Time Mike
