Besides that.... if you've been watching this board at all you know the rut HAS to be in full swing or past peak. I mean .... even NYbowhunter shot a buck with more than 4 points...or was it a road kill?.[8D][8D][8D][&:]

Saw 4 big does this morning........and all of them had little ones with them. 9 deer in all walking in a line without a care in the world.........and nothing on their tail. No way I see that if the rut is on........there wasn't a buck anywhere near them. My brother saw 7 deer where he was and reported the same........does and little ones.....he did see a 4 pointer later in the morning but said it was just out for a stroll.

Wait all this time only to have it fall into gun season...........Oh well, at least the DEC will be happy.

"Should have already been out there" I've been out there..Im always out there my man.

Atlasman....what area of NY?????

The ruts on where i live in NY my father saw a buck mounting a doe the other day.

Western.........just not seeing it man.......been on stand about 20-25 hours per week. I would think I was just unlucky but have heard nothing different from anyone else in this area either.

My nephew killed his just outside of Trumansburg. I guess that's too far from you.

It must be because I have never even heard of it.

Looks like a real beauty he got there........congrats to him.

It is no doubt on, def the way to be...
