I hunt the end of ML season and then pick up the rifle on 11/13 up in Pittsburg. Will need a few new spots as the state, DNCR has dragged their feet making road repairs after the July rains and also put their boots on the throats of some camp owners who tried to make repairs to get to their properties. My Brother tells me roads are now open but only for camp owners on some of the roads we usually hunt. The company Aurora, that bought a large chunk of land there for carbon credits, ain't been much help either.
Nice freezer doe this morning 30 minutes after legal.
About 90 to 100 pounder.
Shot at 15 yards head on.....center of the neck shattered the neck bone completely severed. Dead before she hit the ground.

Spent a week at Tall Timber in Pittsburg NH. Hunted the last 2 days of ML and then picked up the 99. 1st day with the ML it was raining but the woods were silent. Crept around a spruce and spotted a small buck. He spotted me and disappeared before my ML touched my shoulder. Walked from the ridges of Perry to the ridges of Indian and did think a bit that I'm getting too old to be this deep in the woods by myself.
2nd ML day was rain, sleet and then windy and show squalls, tough day.
Brother came up Tuesday as well and spent the remainder of the week with the rifles. Didn't see any more deer but did see a Fisher or a Pine Martin (distance made ID difficult) a cow moose and calf. Brother had a couple does run by him.
Upper part of Indian was blocked off due to the July washouts and the road is a mess. The DNCR is "handling" it but the head of the agency is an unqualified woke leader so they did very little to resolve the conditions. The DNCR is trying to criminally charge a camp owner with wetlands violations for trying to fix the washouts so he could get to his camp. After close to 2 months of waiting for something to be done he got frustrated that he was unable to get to his property, can't say I blame him.
Now we have a west coast company who bought a very large chunk of the lumber lands and wants it left alone for carbon credit BS. They don't want logging but NH holds restrictions on the land and an argument over logging is taking place.
Very few hunters there now and it's quite a few Vermonters. Not much foot traffic in the woods so nobody really pushing deer.
I followed my Dad in the woods up there in the sixties and it was 1970/1 that I hunted on my own. Quiet now but for me it's tradition to be there in November and has been for many years.
When I got home Sunday the wife is telling me the damn deer are eating her plants and shrubs AGAIN and when an I wrapping them up with snow fence.
Love Pittsburg, great memories, but like all things, change happens.
