Nice.  I tagged an 8 point last night right at dark.  He was bedded at the bottom of a steep ravine.  Started up the side, probably to feed in a nearby white oak grove.  Not a huge guy but I`m very happy with him.

Also Sat in the rain, two doe snuck in on me, took off when I stood up. [emoji30]

Yea, ok.  Thought it was some type of testing.  Thanks for the responses.

Does anyone know why there was a chopper North of Lodi Pt. around 4pm today?  Was about in the middle of the lake hovering low enough to kick up lots of spray.  Thoughts are a training exercise; rescue; stocking fish?  (kind of expensive to stock this way) 

I've been following you for some time.you sure earened that buck. Enjoy it. Congratulations!

It seems like a LOT of folks are tagging beautiful deer this season. Great going! No horns in 8j today. 4 single doe,one of which is now in the back of my pickup.

About usual shots in 8j. Only doe siteings so far.

Don't worry about quieting it.  Worry about your shot placement.  I shot a buck and a doe with rage hypodermics and by the time

they heard the shot, the bolt had already passed through them.  Both dropped within sight. One from a heart shot and the other

lung shot. Absolutely no tracking required.  They cant jump string at  350 fps at 20-30 yds. 

I sure do attend to shot placement.  However, I would also like to quiet the x bow as much as possible.

Hop, since back to fixed blade, not a single issue. Shot placement was never a factor before. Now it isnt either, strikers outta compond, muzzys in xbow. Pass through everytime with dead animal within 50yds. My experience anyway

Yea, staying with fixed both bow and x bow.  Pam from Brewer`s sporting in Ovid recommended Thunderhead, and I`m very happy with them.  If anybody has any ideas on how to quiet the x bow, I`d love to hear them.  As loud as a 22, I`d say. 

Last week I lost a doe - a pass through with a crossbow rage 2 blade.  I  was sick about it.  Have now switched to a 125 gr. 3 blade thunderhead, which has accounted for a buck and doe this bow season.  I know a lot of guys swear by the mechanicals, I just need to know there will be cutting 100% of the time.

I`ve yet to see a scrape or rub in the finger lakes, and I`ve been out.  Did my part for DEC and tagged a doe Thurs.

Total BS Here  is a pic from this Sunday

Les, if carpel tunnel ever kicks in from cleaning all those perch, give me a call.  I`ll help you (me!) clean some.

I used (20 yrs. ago) to hunt W side of Hemlock.  Agree w Z blain, get in early and up in the hills where it`s hard to go.  I`d suggest going in during day, finding a good spot or two, and mark them on a hand held gps.  Then, on day you will hunt, go in before light (w/flashlight) to your spot and wait.  The other guys typically will move the deer into your less accessable spot.  Just be in shape enough for the long drag out.  I have seen some dandy`s come out of that area.

They sure do. Had 70 degrees off end of dock 2 days ago. Question is, chase backstraps or fillets?

Billy, what`s the water temp. at 45 feet?

There`s a guy over on 96 who does canvas (N of T-burg)..He may have something.  I have a couple of old bows from an old canvas (not a b top) you may be able to modify.  You`re welcome to them if you want them.

  I can tell you what doesn't work!  Just got back from Seneca, trolled from Willard to boy scout camp, rigger and dipsey.  Fished from 500 to 300 fow, 40 to 90 down.  Nadda, except for a huge weed clump that caused me to break a rod tip.  Oh well, was a beautiful night.  Good luck to you.

Empty, you have a PM.  Hop

Thanks very much for sharing.  Beautiful rig, all the more sweet having rebuilt it with family.  I always felt stuff built back in the day has way more character than the throwaway stuff we buy today.

Nice fish, but I`d love to see more pics of your boat and motor.  Is that an Evinrude "Lark"?  Is that a manufactured boat or custom built?
