Hey hunter49 thanks for the heads up on the senaters petition i went there and signed it.We all need to come together on this or all well be left with to hunt with are sticks and stones.

Thanks Scott I haven't done much hunting like this myself most of my duck hunting takes place here where I live on Grand Island on the Niagara. Figured we would change it up a little. Hawkeye, I haven't done any deer hunting in the bog because we have some private land we deer hunt near by but I did scout it this summer and it looked very promising. I would concentrate on the bow season cause i know it gets hit very hard during gun.

Jkaese- u should bring a coyote call with you next time you scout at night. Even though it is dark, the deer will still be spooked and probably not hit that area for a while. BILL WINKE suggested using a predatory call and slingshot with small stones to gently scare the deer away instead of having them bust you.

Seeming how 10-15 mph wind here in buffalo means 20-30 in my stand .

what dose everyone think of using short grunts this monday for a tactic??

im a bit south but hell yeah lol many more yotes this year. ive seen more anyway

The biggest thing about a mock scrape is what you use. I am young as well but i am attending college for things like this. This year i have pictures of a ten on my mock scrapes. the use of a mock scrape is more for putting a buck in the general are in a specific spot within shooting distance and getting him to pause within your area. Preorbital scent will make or break a mock scrape. Apply it to the licking branch and any mature buck in the are (isnt garunteed) is more likely to visit that scrape. Especially in early season while they're grouped up these licking branches are a way of keeping inventory of eachother and most bucks in the area will visit those scrapes. Put a camera up and make sure you dont kill the first buck if there is a bigger one visiting that spot! Preorbital can be expensive and as far as urine it is best to use the urine (NOT TARSAL in early season) from the Same buck each time. many companies number the bottles because recent studies show that consistent urine makes a big difference. Research it some more, look for the deer hunter's almanac. it is packed with awesome info! Good luck this season!

What would you like to know? Early season is usually better, late April through mid June. The creeks are higher the fish aren't as spooky. We have an awesome hatch going on through these months. Big flys #12- #18, the later in the season the smaller the fly the smaller the tippet. All you need is a 4 weight rod unless you want to fish for salmon then something heavier should be used.

hay all. from what the trail cams are showing there are more bucks then the norm in my area. 5 nice shooters and alot of nice size yearlings some 4 , 6, 8 pts with good mass i have a few in the trail cam contest.
