We spentthe weekendin Hammondsport and finally saw several does. Three of them walked right by my camper yesterday morning. Now I need to find the bucks.

The deer sure were out last night . I checked the alfalfa field by my house before I went to work at around 6:45 and there were at least 20 deer out there. It was pretty dark butI managed to scope out 3 shooter bucks in the bunch(2.5 yr olds). The bucks looked pretty well bulked up now and ready for the rut to get here. Unfortunately, I probably won't get to hunt until Mon. afternoon.

I hunt 9r and 9m, same thing here deer sightings down. I think the years we had all the party permits, and some bad winters have caught up. I just hope the dec. keeps the number of permits low for a few years. Rich
