Jerry, that deers legs look like they are going to break trying to support all that weight. 250 at least on the hoof.

Most would think that the once the snow flys for the first time of the year that the deer will be moving like crazy. I for one tend to think the opposite. To me it seems like the first snow fall kinda shocks them since it changed there surroundings si much? Maybe not, but I usually see a big drop in movement the first time we see snow.

Hearing LOTS of reports of bucks on there feet today! Wish I could get In a tree tonight! If you can you better be there!

Just shows how incredible Whitetails truely are!

Takes more then a case to do that buddy!

Zero action tonight thus far........

I say mercy kill, he doesn't look healthy.

Absolutely Dan! And for that reason alone is why my bar is set where it is. Who knows maybe down the road I will be able to bump it up to 4 1/2 but doubtful giving we are hunting in NYS.

Congrats!

Only had a few doe come into the plot last night. I think the wind may have hade them tied up a bit. Maybe try again tonight but the wind conditions are going to be strong again. As for killing that deer I will have to wait and see if I can put my own eyes him. Both deer are 3 1/2 that I have on camera and that is where I set my bar at a few seasons ago. It's very hard to let a 3 1/2 walk where I hunt! I feel if you can take that caliber of a deer consistently in my area you are doing pretty damn good. Although the big 8 my wife named "Ocho" is the one i am truely after! Let's just hope one wants to play.

Most days he would be for me also.... but...... with the big 8 that's there too I'm not sure I would do.

Somehow when checking my card earlier I didn't even see this guy is hitting the same plot!! Not sure if he's a shooter but he's definitely nice!

Awsome night! 4 bucks, a doe with 2 button bucks and 2 doe in the plot when I waked in. Last light had the big boy come In at 10 yards! Bristled up walked a 1st rack down then snort weezed! Just 5 mins to late. Hopefully tomorrow he does the same thing just 10 mins earlier!

Just settled in over a clover and chicory plot that has had the big 8 in 2 times this week. Hopefully he reads the script!

Finally got what looks like a shooter....

Finally got what looks like a shooter....

Congrats to both of you!!

No I didnt...??? My buddy who leases with me shot an 8 pt. I still have a tag and will be hitting hard!

Tomorrow is the day that I will officially begin to hit it hard can't wait. Did ducks and geese this morning.

So I take it that means the break wall will be out!?

Things are definitely going to starting ramping up after this front comes through! Been waiting for things to be right before hitting it hard! Will be duck hunting Saturday morning then in a tree hard from then on. My buddy managed to take a deer he's been chasing Monday evening. HUGE body and taped out at 158 1/8! Monroe County Monster!

Couldn't agree more, EVERY animal taken with stick and string is a trophy! Congrats!

I'd have to agree. I have sidelined myself more this year then ever by far! Alot has to do with the fact that I have yet to even get a pic of a 3 1/2 year old to this point. And for me that is my target 3 1/2 or older! Most mature deer don't usually tend to show up a little later in the season do to the lack of agg on my properties. Most consist of thick stuff you can't penatrate. Even with all our food plots it's tough to compete with farmers fields when it comes to food. Good things are coming I can feel it!

Very surprised this morning. After 7:45 the deer have had me covered up! Bucks, does, and fawns. One of the fawns must have a cold she was sneezing up a storm. Heard a buck grunt louder then I have ever heard. First sit in this spot this to to pretty much just scout, bailing out shortly to leave it till things start getting good!
