Packed and ready to go... look out NY!!
All ready to go. Got to stop at the bank and pick up some money... that' s about it. Leaving bright(well dark) and early in the AM for 3 days of NY bowhunting. Last night I talked to one of the locals in NY that bow hunts the same public land I do. He said it' s been a tough hunt for him this year. He says there' s plenty of sign and he sees some deer but the bucks are playing hard to get or even see. He usually has tagged out by the time I get there. He hasn' t shot " A" deer this year. He says there are 3 or 4 cars parked and hunting the woods every day. Sounds like I' ll have to go deep. Same story every year.[:' (] I hate climbing that damn mountain to get away from the crowd. At least when I get there I never see another soul. They all seem to stop within 200-300 yards from the road. I' m getting to old for that dang hill. It beats me up every year. At leaste it' s mostly downhill if you shoot a deer.[:-] But that last 150 yards is uphill, what a bummer.

I' ll be hunting North of Bainbridge, NE of Binghamton, near the little burgs of Gilford and Coventryville. If it' s blowing that hard I' ll just go in and maybe hang a hang on and find a couple trees for my climber. Hunt from the ground if I have to. It should lie low near dark. Saturday looks great. Snow I can live with.

I wish you luck David...though knowing your past experiences, you may not need it. I have a question for you though, you hunted Maryland yesterday and you are hunting New York tomorrow, do you ever hunt PA?
