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........

Havent heard from Rich on the hunting soooo kinda guess it didnt get much better. 
 
Here in Ct my last piece of Pvt property to hunt is the worse ever for years for Deer sightings sometimes weeks between a tail.
Have never chosen to  shot a doe there in the 30 years I have been fortunate enough to have permission but have taken several nice shooters.
This year is the same, over 18 hours in the woods and not a tail even though my old self imposed bucks only on this property is now an anything goes policy, lol.
Used to make up for it on other properties but as time passes they have all turned into housing projects soo this is the last holdout.
 
As in most places it aint how ya hunt but WHERE ya can hunt.
Can drive around in the evening by where I live and seen dozens on NO props out in the fields.

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. 

I've been putting my time in everyday. Thursday it was 20 degrees with snow on the ground and let's say, the deer were hot and heavy. We seen over 8 bucks from 10pt down. Everyone was chasing doe and didn't offer a good shot with xbow. Friday the temperatures soared into the 50's and we haven't seen squat since.

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.

Vaccine cant come quick enough- Hoping for some Spring Steel.
 

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 !!!

Got ice yet ?
Strange season and we're done .

Rich that buck your holding is a BRUTE- congrats

I got home yesterday and quartered 2 deer to put in our refrigerator's so they wouldn't spoil because of crazy weather.
Waste nothing is my moto.
I was beat and after spending weeks in the woods, dreading going back to the JOB today.
I'm finally starting to figure out the days of the week.
I really can't wait to retire so a Monday means no difference than a Sunday.
It was a difficult season for us and I blame 2020 in a whole.
For a Fact, there are still bigger bucks on the property that get a free pass this year. Zero people, zero pressure.

Rain, rain go away. Bring some ice tomorrow day.
