Well opening day didn't turn out to be all that great. Our great northeast weather played it's part with temperatures getting into the 80's, so deer movement was limited. And the wind/breeze was constantly changing direction so it made it difficult. But hey it was only day 1 of a hunting season.

Still 3 weeks for us till opener. My Daughter is getting married the 30th of Sept. so doubt I will make opener.

Way to be optimistic Amhrdwd. I'd feel the same way. Last yearI got too antsy and tagged a second doe (bag limit of two deer by archery) a week before season ended. Two days before the end, I was out walking and watched two nice 8 plus pointers trotting by my stand sight. Boo-hoo, though. If if and butts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry christmas as Dandy Don Meridith once said on Monday Night Football.

I'll be on stand come Saturday morning unless its drizzling/raining. Then I'll be in one of my two ground blinds waiting er out for the break when the deer start moving. Temps are climbing from the 70s to the 80 by Friday now but the weekend forecast calls for low 60s so we'll see.

Good luck everyone!

Well I'm always opyimistic. And I'll also be huntin in NY this October. My friend said that he's seen massive amounts of deer this season compaired to the past few years in NY. And we have access to 2 different properties one bordering a game preserve and we have exclusive ights to the land..... SOOOOOO chances are pretty good.

Hey guys, if you'd like, change your avatar to the one ddlyrfl3006 created for us.Thatappears to be the way to go versus banners this year. But it'sAmerica so do what feels right to you.

Did anyone have any luck yet?
I went out on Friday and didn't see a thing. [&:]
I'll be back out this Friday.

Same here G2 Shooter. Went out and saw nothing, but found some good looking CRP field exit routes. Unfortunately the weather has been ridiculous 70's 80's when it's usually starting to drop quickly this time of year. So all I can do is keep trying and looking for now.

Hey guys. Got out a few times this weekend. Saturday morning it was drizzling so I sat in my pop-up blind and saw no deer. Went out again Sunday evening and saw no deer again but did get to watch a group of wild turkeys roam through the woods. Had some fun throwing twigs down to the ground and startling the heck out of them. Was in the 80s on Saturday but cooled down substantially now. Looking forward to going out again this coming Saturday morning.

Week and a half yet to wait.

Just a little over a week to go for us. I have a close friend that lives in Maryland & he's taken 2 Does so far but not a Buck close to him. He's still rubbin it in that he's tag something. Good Luck fellas. My areas look pretty good. I will have 2 Bonus antlerless tags & 1 buck tag this year.
This is a photo of a Buck I took a few years back when I lived in Illinois (my brother is in the pic). I have only 4 like this so I am due for a dandy.
Just thought I would get everyones blood pumpin a bit.
