Is anyone hunting in eastern NY? Thats where I hunt and I am hoping to spend the day up there tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone knew if they were still rutting up there? I had set a new stand up there and havent had a chance to hunt it. I will spend the entire day in it if I have to. But would like it to be more like a hr!!! LOL!!

I was up in Dutchess on the 11,12, and 13th. on the 11th I seen a 4 poind buck and lot's of does runing and moving all over. On the 12 th it was a bit colder and I seen the 4 point and a small 6 . Then I did sum ratling and a nice buck came in but it was a 50 yards. Then on the 13th I onley seen two does. I would say give it a try. ;)

Sounds good! whats times did ya see um? just wondering if any were mid day. might sit all day. What part of dutchess? i hunt there too?

I seen them till 11:00 am, then that was it. But it was best from 7:00 to 9:00 am. (privet land by pine plains). If you are going for one day I would hunt all day.

Thanks..Private lands a plus I am on state gets hit hard... Probably will sit all day

just got back from dutchess i think the rut is still not hear yet im still seeing new scrapes and rubs.i did not see one deer today but my dad saw a 4 point all alone and anout 5 minutes later 2 doe.havent even seen any dead on the road i think the crappy weather and 60 degree days are killing it,but i htink the first cold snap and they will be in full swing.which state land are you hunting.good luck

i had to take a trip to liberty,ny yesterday i saw a monster 8 all alone on pky,then 3 doe on some ones lawn and probably abot 10 other does all alone no buck also saw turkey

Thanks for all the reports!! Keep um coming! I looked at the weather and it looks like it is going to be cooler tomorrow so I held off on the trip today. I am going tomorrow with hopes the cooler weather will keep um moving longer. Its down to the wire for me with the bow in southern zone. So far to confirmed kills, branch and a tree!
