Im in 8h/g and have seen tons of deer. I shot two does on opening morning. Halfway down the stand ladder, a 8pt entered an opening and looked right at me and trotted off. But the best part had to be walking into my woods with just over an hour before sunlight, and walking to my stand. The LED flashlight I bought the night before picked up a pair of eyes looking back at me where my ladder was. It was the 10 pointer I had been after all bow season, bedded down, leaning against my ladder. And to boot it was way too dark to even think about shooting. I got within 10 yds, and he merely got up, and walked away. I couldnt do anything but keep saying " did that just happen?" . Of course, he got shot latter that day.[:' (]

I got a nice 8 point, along with a doe opening morning, but we are not seeing the deer this year like we have over the past five years. We have shot two Coyotes, ans saw a third today in 8X. I think the winter kill along with the coyotes is the problem. The clubs that border us are having the same problems, and between the three parcels, we cover about 1200 acres.[:' (]

I took a 7 pointer on opening day in 3J, missed two does with my pistol the next day and my son-in-law saw a 4 pointer on Friday, that' s been it so far.

I have been deer hunting the Adirondacks since 1967 and do believe this is the worst season I have seen. No deer and no sign to speak of. I think Rodsmith hit the nail on the head; too many coyotes, bears and too much snow. I did speak with the Encon biologist and he believes this season will break a record for bear taken in the Adirondacks.

Hunted 4w sun,mon,tuesday, seen one small doe only I think the DEC has to take a close look at how poor the deer heard really and stop the party permit and go back to 3 or 4 guys on a permit otherwise it really don' t pay to hunt in n.y.s.
