Up State NY hunters
So how is everyone doing this first opening day of deer In up state NY???? I am in Chemung County and this is the first time in 8 years that I haven't gotten a deer opening weekend. Whats up with the deer movement??? I haven't even seen a deer. I saw more deer the openingday of bow, now nothing. I haven't even heard much shooting and they even added riffles to the season in hopes to get more hunters out there. I don't think it worked.

I took a decent 8 point at 1:20pm in Tioga county and it was the only deer i saw all day.Overall i didnt hear 50 shots all day.Everyone in our camp saw deer so overall deer sightings were pretty decent.One other guy in our camp took a nice 8 point and there were four other buck seen.We have a six point or better rule and were finally starting to see some results.

seen 5 deer opening weekend...i shot one eand my buddy shot another. i got a small spike horn (2 3/4 inches PHEW) thought he was a doe and tagged him as doe. My buddy shot a nice six pt. however we were unable to retreieve him...blood trail died and we searched for over 6 hours and into the next day. >=/ so overall deer sightings = good. will be going to Yates county to try my shot at a rifle buck!

I saw a ton of deer in bow season. First day of shotgun, I saw eight deer total. Two were on the neighbors property (just off my field) and the rest were at a full run from the neighboring woods. Second day I saw nothing, but it sounded like a war zone in the neighboring woods.
