RE: NYS Capital District Activity
i keep hunting logs for the past 10 years. this season has shown over 50% less deer sightings for myself. Also, i have a circle of about 40 hunters i talk to daily (i own a tavern) and out of all these guys only 7 have seen scrapes in the woods this year. i personally only saw one, and that was the 1st day of bow season!
I am just now beginning to see rubs, but still no scrapes. i know the deer are around, (tracks , droppings) but i can't believe the lack of rut activity here in the capital district. these are areas that usually have the woods torn up by bucks by the opening of turkey season!
deer overpopulation my a$$!

RE: NYS Capital District Activity
Went out this AM and could not take the snow, walked around to see if I could find some tracks and verify they are around. Did not see any tracks at all, but found a section of the woods that had scrapes all over in one area. Not sure how fresh they are but did not see any movement this A.M. Going to have "lunch w/ Santa" with the kids and will try and sneak out in the afternoon. The wife has about had it w/ the time in the woods this year. Which Tavern do you own Moose? I like in Rotterdam might stop in sometime and say hello.
