I'm hunting a different spot this year, but seems like the guys that hunt where I was past years aren't seeing as much. I think it's been to warm, hopefully this cold snap will get them moving earlier. I did see a decent buck near crossgates today around noon, the only decent buck I've seen since bow opened.
Hunt steuben county and hunted just about the whole opening week seen more deer the first 3 hours than I have seen since. Seems they are not moving, I know they are there it has been warm but not hot. I hunt private land with food plots and we just sit in stands. Doesn't seem to be much pressure anywhere, drove by numerous patches of state land and no cars.....Maybe due to our wounderful governor increaseing the cost of a licence.....
