    Well...... i put an arrow in a good deer yesterday morning at 6:56 am. Was not confident about the shot so I stayed in the tree for an hour and fifteen minutes after the shot. Got down and only saw a small amount of hair at the impact so backed out and gave the deer 5 1/2 hours before tracking...

    Crazy how dead the woods have been for me the last few days. I'm sure all the high winds didn't help, but man its been slow! Haven't seen a single deer this morning and with the temps warming up into the mid 60s for the next week I can't imagine it getting to much better. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    Cold hang this morning! Passed a solid 3 year old 8 10 mins after it got light, then 2 more smaller bucks following a doe would be all I would see this morning. Warming up and eating lunch and back at it, perfect conditions right now!

    This weather is definitely giving false feelings for sure. Seems like they should be on their feet like crazy, but..... its feast or fathom right now. Scrapes are opened up just about everywhere there is a over hanging branch. I saw 2 bucks and 3 does last night and every deer hit a scrape. My...

    The time has come for me to start hunting hard! Only managed 2 sits until now. 35 degree temp drop in the last 12 hours makes for prime conditions. Only 2 does have shown so far and I'm in nice and tight with them. Definitely thought I would had much more movement to this point.

    Knee pads

    Watching... I Baugh a pair of "No Cry" off Amazon, and my knees hurt while sitting! Constantly find myself moving and adjusting because of it. Kinda weird to, that it's mainly my left knee that gets the most pressure.

    Who the heck is making Amsteel tethers and Amsteel prussic combos and selling them on FB???

    This has me a bit concerned now, I am extremely new and green to saddle hunting, And my set up has amsteal everywhere. My Phantom obviously has the adjustable bridge, my Hawk Helium sticks have amsteal daisy chains, and my sticks have amsteal aiders. Are you guys saying that this is not safe...

    Well I finally had a chance to put my first saddle sit in ever last night. Was definitely much different then what I'm used to. Usually walk to stand, climb stand and hunt. Even though im on 200 acres and dont need to hang and hunt, i wanted the full experience. So, I brought in my sticks and...

    Hard to believe that my first sit of the year is in a ground blind and not my saddle but everything told me to sit over my bean plot tonight. Feels good to finally be back in the woods. Have had some nice bucks in here lately so we'll see what happens. So far one big lone doe.

    That's a dandy!! Right now I have a few good ones on camera but no giants yet. I have tons of bedding that holds lots of doe's so the bigger deer move in as rut gets closer like clock work. This year I have more food then ever in my plots. This year I planted standing corn, standing beans, and...

    It seems that there are a lot of guys on here from NY, so I thought I would start this thread. With our bow season starting this Thursday October 1, I thought it would be cool to have a page where we could exchange Intel to see whats happening throughout the state in the deer woods as the...
