Southern NYer's count down
 

Hey all you NY bow hunters out there! You should be counting down the days now. Only 44 to go! I've been practing for a month now and manI'm READY! My tree stands and ground blinds are checked. Arrows and broadheadsall set. Now I just have to get my clothes washed. Oh yea, I've got to buy my license yet. Can't wait!

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Been practicing a bit, but waiting to get my new string on and new arrows to get real serious. We have a great crop of beechnuts this year in my area. Lots of deer - should be a good season.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Things are looking real good in South Otselic. Sure will be nice to hunt an area where there are a few deer left. Bye bye Pa. Hello New York:D

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

up north we only have 26 days left, but i dont bow hunt anymore, so i have to wait till october 21st

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

I hunt both NY and PA so I can start in 29 days. I'm pretty pumped, but I'l be more pumped towards the end of Oct. How ever I've yet to see a good buck around my areas yet. Thats typical though. They usually turn up about the second week of October.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

I start my hunting in NJ, so I'll be out by Sept 30th. I might not even bowhunt NY this year, although I did get my license. If I do, it will be in suffolk County with my friend.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

It's going to be an interesting year for me. I bought a new bow and I have to start all over getting ready for the season. I'm all set with my old bow just incase I can't get comfortable with my new one by the opener. We've been seeing a lot of deer in Gainsville!

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

I'm goin to hang my tree stands this weekend, still waiting on my new bow. I ordered a Matthew's switchback xt, but it takes a month to get them in.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

well went out to ask for permission on some more land but no one was home but I did get the bowtech tomkat out and shes shooting really nice I am pumped for the season coming just hope I will have time to hunt with working alot the past 2 months

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

saw some awesome bucks last night just before dark. Looks good this yr.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

I can't wait. I might have a new job so my season might be cut short but it pays alot more so I can buy some new toys.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

I watched two eights move in to the field that borders my opening day stand (per wind variations). Nothing like watching them mill about in the field for hours upon hours.


Luckily for me, I get to watch them from afar, so now comes the point where I spend an hour or two each week watching the entry point and what time they enter the field.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Hey guys....about a month to go. I got my new bow set up and shot it from my stand last Sunday. We cleared out 4 stands on the property, so we should be ready. GOOD LUCK!!!

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

My season starts on oct 14th here in upstate. I was fortunate enough to get a job on a 1500 acre horse/ deer farm. This is gonna be an awsome year!!!! Put out 2 trail cameras, couple more days i'll check em

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

well only 30 days left

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

13 days for northern zone archery :D

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Still waiting for my new Hoyt to come in then once that comes in, gotta get it set-up and shooting. On top of that I may be starting an unexpected job which will cut into my dreams of not having work andb eing able to hunt all week,lol, but it pays my student loans. Have some new land to hunt down by Wellsville and I guess there are some huge bucks running around on it including a droptine. Should be interesting...

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

29 days to go

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

29 days to go with a good target buck to go after. I have yet to get any pics of him out of velvet - but I think he'll still have alot of mass. Come on Oct 14. Hopefully the pics show up - its my first post here. Nice site and I'll be checking in evey now and then. Good luck to everyone this year.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Chenango Dave thats a great deer. Good luck with him.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Yeah boys and girls ist getting close. CANT WAIT!! good luck to all shoot strait and let all 1 1/2 old bucks walk. If u want the meat shoot the dang DOES

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Chenango...NICE BUCK. We wentto camp yesterday. HUGE tracks about 50 yards from my stand. Right under an apple tree. Hope they keep feeding for the next 27 days.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Apples seem to be dropping a little early this year, our trees are getting hammered.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

I'm starting to twitch[8D]. The problem is everything is done and ready. Stands are set, lanes trimmed, bow tuned and ready, clothes washed, gear and gadgets ready, etc... 28 days of waiting and scouting from afar.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

I got that nervous twitch too. I was up at 6 this morning thinking about my hunting plans for this season. I couldn't sit still so I pulled my gear down from the garage.What a mess! I have all my spring turkey clothes mixed up with my archery and shot gun clothes and they are all mixedinto a large bin. I guess I'll start sorting and washing today. While I do that,I'm going to make some venison chili and watch the Bills-Miami game just to celebrate the season.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

That's a heck of an idea right there.

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

It would be nice to see the Bills kick Miami's A**:D

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

well the big "G" men did pull it off SHOCKER

but on another note only 26 more days left

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

9 days until bow season up north

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

I was out hanging stands today and got that first smell of the autumn woods...You the smell. It kicked me into high gear, like a buck in the rut!!!

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

It wasn't exactly an a** whoopin' but we will take it!!

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

21 days to go

RE: Southern NYer's count down
 

Have you guys noticed an abnormally high # of does/fawns this year? I don't recall ever seeing some many. I guess it is due to the last two mild winters we have had.
3 weeks till go time!
