All my shopping is done in nys. I don't plan on visiting anywhere but solitude in woods and water for the hunker down long winter season coming.
This was from my stand at 8am this morning. I was armed only with a camera

The last few years have been nothing but memories with my family. We try to put photographs with them as much as possible.
I'd probably let that 8pt pass to give a good gene.. its young with lots of mass to achieve.
If we want table fare, its usually not a problem to do.
For us its kinda a self management deal.
Know I've shown these before but these are shooter antler deer for us . Body and mass that have passed their genes a few times

So does this mean if in Erie, one cannot drive east on RT 5 to the Pond Winery that is about a mile into NY with all the testing and quarantine stuff?

If so, that will be pretty rough on those types of businesses.

Thank you.

Contiguous states are still exempted from the quarantine requirements. NY’s new rule is actually a loosening of restrictions in a way, giving people a means to “test out” of the 14 day thing.

Soooooo if ya are going in and out to shop or work within a day its OK but if your going up fishing or hunting for a few days  its not--
 
Got it- 19 does NOT spread with folks only staying a day.. Got it.
 
Whenever voting for a Governor in any state from now on we all gotta try and figure out if they are gonna go power nuts in an emergency or be normal.

As I  sit and read news a lot am finding that here in Ct there are many stories of STUDENTS getting tested positive for 19- lots in places of higher learning of which our state has MANY and they test heavily.
Also of STUDENTS being kids and partying hardy and causing peer groups to have a higher rate than normal in short order.
In many cases they are sent home and forced to miss semesters or the year because their actions were in violation of school rules.
Then their home states have likely got to claim them as victims too---
 
Because of  their age they generally are likely to not even be aware they have it but the TESTING shows it. 
Classes or whole schools get shut down- the states earn  higher degrees of danger in its 19 grading and the press has a field day.

HT, the protocol for veterinarian visits has been in place since businesses started to reopen.  God forbid you have to put an animal down. 
 
I never had interest in getting a tattoo, probably never will.  Lol

Before micro chipping, we would get our dogs tattooed with their permanent license number inside the lip.

Our vet never changed his regular protocol on visits.

Good luck to you and your on the hunt rich- sounds like a nice break.
 
To all heading up to fish- Check the travel restrictions and read carefully- big differences between 24 hrs and longer stays.
Gotta pre file travel records and stick to them as well as having test docs in many places.
Lots of states in flux right now because of upticks in numbers.
 
Hope some in charge dont get used to treating people like this- could lead to --- issues
 
Couldnt go to VT weeks ago to see my oldest son and now he cant come to ct, overbearing periods of containment and testing between leaving and coming back.
Nurse said her dept head got stopped going in Vt recently and hadda turn around.

LOL, every other vehicle is out of state and I'm sure they are not here for less than 24 hrs. Our country has had mucho increase especially in this area........

I got out for opening day in NY yesterday.  In my spot that abuts 1200 acres of private property long before first light.  Five minutes after getting to my tree seat I hear something coming.  A minute later the Cuddeback trail camera about 20 yards to my left goes off.  Whatever it was didn't stick around.  Around 6 AM I hear a deer walking within 15 yards and could see it's blacked out silhouette, two fawns feeding.  Both hung around until after 8 AM with one walking by four times.  She knew I was there but didn't seem to care. 
I pulled the SD card from the camera and found the deer that triggered a photo when I first sat down was a 6 pt buck approximately 1 1/2 YOA.  Because he was moving so quickly I assume he was on the trail of a hot doe. 
Hope to get out this afternoon before it rains. 

Zilch !!
This is the first year I can ever remember not bringing any venison home by opening gun weekend..
Is 2020 OVER YET...
Back at it Tuesday Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday then I pull the plug on hunting.

Just for reference, I physically lived in the woods 7 days and in an Airbnb for another 3 while hunting so far. The vaccine wasn't the problem unless the deer suddenly got covid.
The people are crazy in this times and so is the weather.
It's supposed to stay warm right through next weekend. Ugh...
Me and my sons hunt 864 private hardwood acres on the very top of the mountain with thousands to the bottom that don't get hunted. There is zero pressure. We didn't hear a gunshot. We have plenty of quality deer but something is just not right this year so I blame the whole 2020 mess, lol..
I guess the saying might hold true.
Starve a fever and feed a cold ..
It better get cold soon !!!

Rich that buck your holding is a BRUTE- congrats
