Went out against doctors order this morn had my cervical section of spine opened larger was constricting spinal cord.(I never missed the openeryet in 20 yrs not gonna start now) I passed on a spike in close but I heard absolutely no shooting at all. I kept waiting for that first shot which is usually is the start of WW2. It just never came, I was in the woods till 11 if I heard maybe 20 shots, anybody else notice shooting was way down in their area of New York Im in Niagara county?

Strangly quiet in the area I hunt in 7f. Except of course the one that came from my gun and landed through the heart of a nice 9 pointer that dropped on the spot

[8D] Other than that, I heard maybe 15-20 shots all morning.

It has been quiet here in 4B also. Except for my one shot into my decent 5 point

, I have heard very few shots around. It used to sound like WW3 opening morning but not this year.

Quiet here also... only saw a handful of deer. I remember when it was non stop sightings thru the day... now it is luck if I see 5 deer. Don't know what the problem is... maybe too many permits and too much posted property... thereby reducing the number of deer in huntable areas?

Heard a few shots far off here in Oswego County. Then a few relativley close. No noticable thump sound followed the shots, So I assume that they were all misses. I think the closer shots were just some moron shooting off some shots behind his house to tick everyone off.

Saw a couple bucks on the top of guys trucks. One decent 8 pt and a buddy of mine got what looks like an 8 pt.
