Been out 3 days and haven't seen one deer nor any fresh signs. This has been the weirdest deer season ever for me. I hunt in 3P

Saw a lot of does but that was it. Two of my buddies shot bucks, one a nice 6 pointer and one a really nice 8. I shot a coyote but that was it. I had 3 does mill around under my stand for about 20 minutes just before sundown while at the same timesomething big in the woods directly behind me stomping around and grunting. I couldn't get him to come out and when it got dark, I finally started to get down scaring the does away. Whatever was in the woods snorted twice and bolted. It sounded big but who knows. I hunted 8M.

Me personally, I Did not fill my tag - I passed 2 scrubby bucks - and saw more does and fawns than I saw all bow season. The snow (up to an honest 1 ft) - really brought the deer to the corn. 7M - no doe permits here. But with the numbers of does I've seen the 1st week - I'll feel good taking one with the Black powder at the end of the season if given the chance.

Our group took 3 bucks, all 4 points - andotherspassed5 small bucks - we hunt 200 acres. The neighbors tooka couple - I know of 2 different 8 points taken on the land tha borders us - and heard some other very close shots -

Good luck - the season's just getting good if you still have a tag!

I wish I was being sarcastic. I'm glad the 1st week is over and I'm in one piece. Maybe the woods won't sound like like a warzone or look like a three ringed circus for the rest of the season.

I did hear that the people that share a part of the land with us have taken 10 bucks between 3 people. Most of them at night I believe. [:@][:@]

I LOVE GUN SEASON!!!

I hunt the CWD contaminate zone. 1300 deer have been killed. 300 by hunters and 1000 by DEC. Not a 1 has CWD. I think it`s funny that Onieda county, which has the highest car to deer accident ratio has CWD but no deer have been found with it(well except the doe and fawn). I wonder if they broke out of the farm that had CWD at it. Could Progressive and Gieco have anything to do with it? Things that make you go HMMMMMMMM.

that's interesting. I was wondering about that the other day. Havent' heard any other reports of deer with CWD in NY since hunting season began. Very interesting. You have to check all the deer in Oneida I assume?

all of Onieda and Madison county deer must be brought to the Rome check station or a DEC approved butcher. here`s a link to the map where the deer have been tested. http://www.dec.state.ny.us/apps/cwd/ . I just can`t believe that the DEC shot 1,000 deer in this area. Also it was real hard to get one let alone two doe tags this yr. I really haven`t seen nowhere near as many deer this yr as I have in the past. I do alot of scouting starting in aug.

Strechhunts where did you get that info. that hunters killed 300 deer and DEC killed 1000. I hunted 6p with my friend and his dad where they both killed bucks. All I saw were does but I did not want to use up my friend's 6p permit. I was given a couple of permits for 7H and 7F (onondaga and cayuga county)? where I took my 2 does. I am not too sure as I am not from that area of NYS. I plan on going back to 6P for ML season and hopefully will take another doe for my freezer. My friend had told me that around 1500 deer were checked into the check station but I assummed it was by hunters . Are you saying DEC was still out shooting them during the season. My friend said DEC shot around 250 in the summer but never mentioned anything about the other numbers.
