Now we have a little snow on the ground this morning, so lets hope this last day of bow season lets me see something other than squirrels..
I feel this season has been a big waste of time..
I wasn't able to get out until 10/31 and never got a shot; given the weather here in NY during October- either 70's or windy/rainy, I don't feel I missed too much!
That sure changed this week though; wow it's cold suddenly, a 17 degree windchill today when Tues was 65!! It did have the deer moving though.
The guys I know who were out mentioned reduced sightings from other years.
I think the sheer number/availability of acorns has had the deer pretty scattered and imagine their patterns will tighten up as the season progresses.
