Deer hunting update.

GlennM:
Hey guys!

NY's season just opened this past Saturday.  The weather finally cooled down into the mid 50's during the day and 40's at night.  Week before the season it was in the mid 80's.  Our leaves are a week behind peak colors and the canopy is very full.  Visibility is minimal.  The first deer of the season that I saw was a 140 class monster.  He winded me at 60yds.  I had 2 does come in last night and were interested in my decoy, but hung up 10 yds out of range in the thick brush.  I tell you those new photo realistic decoys are awesome.  I was watching a trail behind me yesterday, I turned around and was given a start when there was a deer (decoy) 15 yds from me.  I almost shot the decoy on a reflex!

Dave R has seen does, but no shots.  Haven't heard from Chuck or John.  A few of us are making plans again this year to come to LBL at Christmas.  My wife insists I go because I was a pain last year when I stayed home.

I'll be out tonight after work.

GlennM:
I sat for 3.5 hrs after work.  I heard the farmer was chopping corn once I got into the stand.  GREAT!  Nothing came around all night except for a squirrel that I did manage to cut a few hairs off of his tail. 

Pappy ,

Don't worry John won't be coming this year The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Southerns has filed a restraining order to keep him out of states further south then PA.  He decided to use his vacation time to hunt the PA gun season this year.

Hey Glenn, nice to hear from ya.
I saw a sow and three cubs night before last. Our bear population seems to be exploding hear in Erie county. Ive seen almost as many bears this year as deer.
I could have shot a small buck last night. I was hunting on the ground and he came in about ten yards broad side, but it was to dark to see if he was legal (4 on one side), and its still kinda early in the season to shoot a small one anyways. I was actually hoping it was a doe. Exciting anyways, I love getting that close on the ground. :)
