Thanks for comments, After running 3 trail cams on the property we hunt ther are definatly some nice deer down there. We have 3 or 4 shooters on cam, 3 different black bears and a bunch of nice 2nd rack up an commers. In the particular area I am huntin it is loaded with deer. several large property owners and its off the beaten path so to speak. The area is posted up very tight and the locals are aware of that. my hunting partner lives by the property and the dec was patrolling the area last year due to poaching complaints. Yes the big woods has a different feel compared to the lakeshore area I am hunting. It is definatly much more changeling to locate those buck travel routes, they are much more suddle. Last yr I took a 8 with bow and a 11 with rifle and seen many more bucks after I was tagged out. For years I wouldn't leave my propertys arnd the lake, but last season definatly opened my eyes to what we have down there. There is a awesome feeling when you know u are the only hunter in the woods for miles, Much less pressure compared to my other propertys. Now I jst gota time my presence right for the rut now that we have pinned down some buck travel routes. Good luck to all this season!!!!

yea I have hunted western Monroe county for 15 yrs or so, the numbers are at a all time low. Yet they handing out tags left and right. Where I hunt in stuben county the deer numbers are astonishing, 10 to 20 deer a sit, like it use to be in Monroe. and I got denied for my second tag down ther. Realy??? I personaly will not take a doe in Monroe county until I see the numbers come back. They need to talk to guys that actually sit in a tree more than just a sat morning and then talk about it the rest of the time drinkin coffe. What do we realy expect its nys politics. change to saturday opener, earlier season start, cross bow, early muzzle = $$$$$ = better state pensions, Whats next???????? Wow is this whole stuff getin out of control.

I have recently been hunting more down at my camp, wich is located in Whitesville. Pretty much where Allegany/ stuben and the pa line all meet. I am curious of the quality of mature bucks located in those areas, it took me a few seasons to locate them but last yr was a decent year. Are most mature bucks down that way in the 100 to 120 in range? we do got agriculture in the area in form of corn,clover ect. Just kinda curious.I know the state record was shot down that way, but that was a long time ago. I am spoiled with the quality bucks along the lakeshore, so I am tryin to decide where to spend most time perched in a tree.

GOOD STUFF!!!! u tryin to get a taxidermy discount

an the free Obama phone!!!!! so they can call ther buddies over

you could always get a offshore board and put the lead out on that

Joe looks like one ur big paddles!!!!

Yea wen I went to signup I had sticker shock, WTF no thanks. money money money. how bout the pride of knowing you placed. The increase in fee is too much if u ask me. I have a young family with a single income and already tuff with gas increase, price of tackle and rigging of the whole boat for trolling. Fishing is one of my passions and I fish as much as possible, but just don't have the funds to do all three. With my boat that's several trips on the lake. yea u never kno but I don't gamble. Once again we are pushing away future generations of the sport. Soon it will die out, jst look how many younger guys ther are, all I hear about from the old timers was u should of seen it on the lake in the eslo. How has this effected the overall participation? Are we trying to increase or decrease participation?

wow, awsome stuff! always woundered whats realy goin on. looks like that eye is chewing on the bait! thanks fo sharing
