Hot bite and happy crew! Suraj and I headed out for some fall hunting action this late afternoon in Florida NY. September weather started partly cloudy but we got hit with afternoon rain, which actually worked in our favor! The cooler temps and moisture had the deer moving more than usual for this time of day.
With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on spot-and-stalk techniques mixed with some still hunting when the conditions called for it. Suraj managed to tag a nice white-tailed deer after we spotted movement near a creek bottom. The rain had us moving quiet through the wet leaves, and we were able to get within range without getting busted. Florida NY's mixed terrain of hardwoods and open fields makes it perfect for switching between spot-and-stalk and still hunting depending on what the deer are doing.
We wrapped up the hunt with smiles all around! Even with the afternoon rain rolling in, y'all know that's when the deer start cruisin' more actively. Suraj kept his cool and avoided any buck fever when the shot opportunity presented itself. The wet conditions actually helped mask our movement and kept us from getting winded by any nearby deer.
