Default RE: Seeing any bucks yet in NY???

I was just checking old posts and see that you're also from Steuben County...where abouts? Ido most of my hunting and scouting in the town of Pulteney not too far from the Yates County border in units 8P and 8R.From the sounds of it, you've got something to look forward to in October . You oughta post some of your Cuddeback pics. on here. I'vedrove around the area a few times before dark over the past couple of weeksbut have only seen a bunch of yearlings bucks and a few 2 yr. olds so far. I know that there are some big ones around because they were there last year and I didn't hear of very many nice ones being taken last season.On a buddy of minesfarm a couple miles from my house I saw and videoedat least30 different bucks in velvet last summer with a bunch of nice 8-pts. and several really nice 130-150+ class bucks.I can't wait to hit the clover fields up with the spotlight in a month or so and see whats hanging around there. We've got some really nice bucks running around in the county, I can only imagine whatcaliber of buckswould show up if we had a little better management in the state and more of our young bucks could make it to maturity. On a side note, I really haven't seen many does or fawns around either. Most of the does that I have seen are feeding out in the fields all alone so I think they probably have their fawns hidden close by.
