    Rocky point parking Permit

    in Bow Hunting

    Posted

    Good afternoon fellow bow hunters.

    I have a few question about hunting in rocky point long island.

    1- Do we put the parking permit on the front windshield ?

    2- Can I park on any spot or do they give me a assigned spot ?

    3-  Do I have to report to check station before and after every hunt ?

    First time bow hunting at rocky point does anyone have some pointers.

    First off....Why Dutchess and Columbia if you're going public land?  Tons of public land much closer to you.

     

    Like everyone said.  Practice, practice, practice.  Normally, you practice shooting a bow at a stationary target on at ground with no wind.  Much different when you're in the woods shooting from uneven ground, you're freezing, and you've been holding the bow up for several minutes because the deer is hesitant to take the next step out into the open.  So besides practice, practice also in similar conditions to simulate what you'll encounter in a real hunting situation.

     

    Scout.  There is no ifs-ands-or buts about it.  The one beauty of bow hunting is that you're forced to become much more intimate with the deer.  You need to know where they are bedding.  What and where they are eating.  Where they're getting their water from.  What time they're getting to do these things.  How weather effects their routine, etc.  That is what real hunting is about.  People can put you in front of a deer and you can shoot it but that's not hunting.  That's shooting.  You can read all these things in a book but every deer in each area behaves a little differently and you need to get to know the deer in the area you're hunting at.
