Rubbing in NY

V8Ranger · 10-06-2008, 08:35 AM

I just went out to get my game cam and move it to a place where I have been seeing the deercome out in the far right corner of the yardand low and behold there is a rub just into the woods. I saw a nice buck in my back yard this morning paired up with a doe. Must be these last few frosty mornings have got them in the mood

. 12 more days, I am getting pumped. Now I just have to hope they stick around.

I saw a buck a couple nights ago going to town on a small tree in the far corner of the hay field. The night before, a group of buck were chasing each other around like a bunch of kids on a playground in the same corner. I can't wait!!!

You guys sure know how to get a guy motivated! We are going to camp this weekend to get everything finalized for the 18th. It's about time! Good luck!

And to you, Gary. I hope the weather cooperates this year. (It was soooo warm last year.)

Let the sleepless nights begin lol. I cant wait till the 18th. I have seen allot of deer on my trail cam, It just gets me more pumped
if it was gun season I could shoot the buck at his rub from my back deck but that wouldn't be a challenge. I like bow much better, more of a challenge and you up close and personal with nature

I have no doubt the weather is causing it. I just hope the cool weather continues.
