I had a regular come to the marina a few years ago before he got caught and told me he seen a guy throw corn and vegetable scraps on the shoreline on Seneca,Few days later he talked to the guy and he told him he works for Saiff.. about 5 years ago..
Fished with Andy last spring 5 outta 8 kings came off chinook divers, only 20-30ft of line out, pretty cool seeing a king smash it 15 ft in back of the boat
Storm front decoys 24 inch decoys, 6 motion sticks, 11heads missing a head for one.. never used just opened them to check them out and sat in the corner for a year.. nice big body decoys a couple scuffs on them from being moved around $150 takes them, located in geneva
I think senecas gonna be on the up for trout and salmon the next few years.. on trips we boated more fish per trip this year and seen a lot of 20 inch fish like salmon and rainbows Lakers.. not so sure about the browns though.. got 2 all year
Haven’t trolled yet on Seneca this time of year, but usually February I troll stinger scorpions,suttons and joined rapalas.. the stinger size I don’t have as many bites with
Made it to the stand for a couple hour sit.. holy smokes all the people tacks in the big woods its like public land! Luckily the neighbor lets me hunt muzzleloader haven’t seen any prints besides deer
I’ve had this pic since opening morning Of gun.. a lot locals already know about it and know the guy but it’s not my deer I cut his face off cause Idk how he would feel if I posted it. .. so from what I heard it scored around 197 and 6 1/2 years old Shot in the finger lakes region, I know the guy and the farmers field it was shot on haven’t seen him to ask the full story but can’t wait to hear it. From the sounds of it he never seen it till opening day
The 2019 bow season break down for me in the finger lakes, never really hunted till October 20th mostly all after noon hunts, never really had great buck sign, lack of tree rubs and ground scrapes. hunted over stand corn for a week with no mature deer around, last couple days of October did see a 8 and 9 pointer in bedding area with no does around.. first couple weeks of November I found some mature does that were feeding on the regular in winter wheats started seeing more bucks and should of capitalized on them, bucks were/ and still curious of rattling, I enjoy bow more then gun hunting but we’ll see what happens in the regular season! Still have one last afternoon sit tonight try to make something happen!
Shot under this guy last night.. the only range I took from the stand was a dirt pile at 40 yards.. where did the deer come out? On the dirt pile second guessed myself cause the deer looked closer..35 yard pin and a clean miss
