One more down

First Coyote of the year off the bait pile gets smoked by the 204. Big male.

Hunting the open woods tonight. Absolutely beautiful

Yikes

I always went to Tim Steele in Avon and he made the divers into chees-dogs that were incredible. no idea how he does it. we shoot a ton of divers on Seneca and conesus and I didn't know what to do with them anymore so I just asked Tim to do what he could, and they're great. I figured id give Doug a shot as all his other products seem really good.

Tim does a great job.

Button buck at five yards

O yea pretty bad to lok

That's awesome. I hope today's your day.

Has that mud started to itch yet?

Matt I hope you get a big one today!

Back in the ground blind this afternoon.

Did some calling last night with the foxpro I blew it on a double I smacked this one on my right side at 100yd then looked to my left and had one running straight at the caller . 20yds i got him to stop then shot right over him .  fox fever!   Did a few more sets with a possible yote sighting .  .  had deer walk up to us while we were playing coyote howls they didn’t seem phased by us at all .

Good stuff!

I have deer licking the dead ones all the time, its kind of weird.

That's awesome. I trap after hunting season and the thought of sitting in a recliner with a rifle on my lap, watching some tv by the fire waiting for the motion detector to go off is heaven compared to what I go through. Kill them all!!

Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The police have been called to my house a couple times but they told my neighbor if she called again she was going to get a ticket. God bless the USA.

Nope. It's not a problem till there isn't much left. And there's always fresh roadkill.

Here's a pic of one from last year

so i still have a buck tag and its getting down to the wire. i have had very limited hunting time this year, I might have maybe10 sits in so far but I have a 5 day stretch free this week just for hunting . last night I passed on a 100-110"ish 8pt at 10yds he was young and looked like he was walking on stilts. If you guys get to this situation do you risk eating tag for a shot a mature deer right to the end?

No right or wrong answer. Being an 8a/c guy it stinks that after bow the tag is useless. Really going to miss late season. Tonight's my last night of vacation but I'm not shooting unless it's a big deer for me. My biggest was a nine around 110-115 inches. Big four year old deer. I have never even seen bucks like some people here have shot. It's been a great week and I can say that regardless of what happens tonight or the rest of the season it's been and will be great.

I put a roadkill deer in the backyard last night and the motion detector and trailcam are set as well. The receiver is upstairs in my house and the 17 and 204 are ready to rock. When the alarm sounds the light shines out the spare bedroom and the fur is going to fly. Will be posting pics soon.

I'm hitting the ground tonight on a tight travel corridor right next to the road.

That's a great buck!

Congrats Bill on finding that buck. DAMM Coyotes' !!!!!!!!!!

Big Congrats on that 1ST bow buck. and other young hunter "pick-up truck" w/bow buck pic... Love the Young hunter pics

And Ray................Your driveway has seen more dead deer on it than most month's worth on the Lake Ontario Parkway I drive EVERY DAY.

I have know you long enuff to expect bucks like that from you. Now it is time for you to head south soon and molest lobsters .

Just southwest of your house Jerry.

Buddy of mine shot a buck at 8. We didn't find it till 930. Coyote found it first. Amazing.

Ok, I wasn't going to respond to the fact that I am a whiner...... but I changed my mind. By me going in the woods and reporting what I am seeing is whining? Yes this has been an extremely tuff season for me without a doubt! But I am not scared to report my unfortunates! So basically you want to come to this awsome thread and ONLY hear the successful stories an action that is happening in the woods? Well if that's what you want turn your TV or hunting video on because that's the only place you are going to get that. And what happens if say a new Comer to the sport of bow hunting stumbles across this thread? All they read Is that there are big bucks running around every tree in the woods when in all reality that's not fact? Forgive me for being a passionate bow hunter wether it's good or bad! And as far as me talking about the properties I hunt and what's going on with them, is to get feedback from others on here who may have dealt with the same sinario in the past. And yes as much time, energy, and money I put in to this sport you are damn right I want to see deer and be successful! So I guess my point is if you don't like what I have posted and am a downer to bad.

Matt I have been off all week and like you have hunted hard and not seen one shooter. I hunt north Greece and Hamlin and have seen very few rubs and scrapes. The three or four one and a half and two and a half year old bucks were just cruising. No swollen necks and although there must be some rutting activity I don't think in this area that much is going on.

In regards to the "whining" comments, ironic that someone that has "holy" in their name is passing judgement on others. I have a few words for him but I think they violate the terms of agreement lol.

Hunting and fishing can be a lot of fun but there are certainly times where even just seeing some action goes a long way!

Well it's blowing 25+ and is close to 70 outside. Time to grab my gear and get out there. Hey, you never know.

It may be too warm to bow hunt but it was a great day to chase perch!

I'd rather hear snow plows driving by than motorcycles.
