Seneca County here. Corn is still up, so hard to get a full picture, but seeing plenty of deer regularly in the back hay field at dusk. Same routes as last year, it appears.

saratoga county.....canton and the town of russel.

can someone please tell me why n.y.'s legal shooting hours are sunrise to sunset,when many other states are half hour before to a half hour after?? drives me NUTS knowing that twenty minutes after I leave my stand, some bute buck is probably standing under it sniffing my still warm bootprints!!

Good to hear from the locals. Im from Herkimer county. Apples and acorns are aplenty. Some farmers have started to chop corn in the area, so I hope to see more deer.
With all the rain we got, I think it might have an effect on the season. I think it will depend on what the farmers do near your hunting area. Most farmers are behind on the alfalfa/hay crop. So by the time they get their second or third cutting done, the growing season will be just about done. Or you may get lucky and have a farmer that doesnt get time to harvest the crop.

my stands setup by about 5 apple trees, last year they were LOADED. this year theres maybe 5 apples on each tree. bummer ritee

By the time Oct. 18th comes, will the trees still be droping apples? Will the ones on the ground be too old to eat?

Wayne county here. I hunt family farms and some private lands. Seems to be more soybean and corn planted this year. Moved a couple of stands around but basically nothing is changed dramatically from last year.
