The pond is bordering the road, too close. The stand closer to the deer trail, hard to put in exact location. Is 30 yards from field, 20 from the deer trail. And a group of bachelor 6s, 3 of them come from bedding to field EVERY single day at around 3:50. And a 4pt yearling comes out of the field on my right and does a complete circle around me on the trail and enters the field again from my left at about 5:30

ok then if the pond is too close to the road perhaps setting a blind up 20 to 30 yards away from the pond so that you are between the water and a bedding area? also when it comes to a bedding area...... do the deer use this year round or is this a area that they rest from time to time during the morning or late afternoon? if at all possible see where the deer enter the field/bedding area from mabey you could hang your stand on the opposit side?

This is my first year hunting the property all i know is they use it daily everyday. What goes on is a daily routine every day by all the deer. I have yet to see the big boy. only one trail cam pic of him hes not big boy but the biggest 1 there. THe pic, he was facing the woods toward the pond stream area he was in between the bottom stand and the bedding area

ok that cleared up a few things. ok if it is your first year hunting this property then you will probably spend more time second guessing yourself than anything else. the locations you have pointed out look good and if your lucky like all the rest of us hunters they will pay off for you. in the meantime do some scouting see where those deer travel when going from point a to point b you never know you might just fin a better place to hang your stand that offers you more options( shooting lanes) then your previous stand sites. best of luck to ya.

      Hi Everyone, 
      It is current the last week for regular season in upstate NY. Living the life working and being a full time student, I have some time off this week and would like to take a ride upstate to do a gun hunt. Never have I hunted public land in the areas 3 G, F, or N and was looking for some recommendations and help! I had used the DEC info locator and found California Hill and thought I might go there. Is there any recommendations on areas to go to in any of the wmu’s? Or on California? Any help would be really appreciated!! 
       
      best of holiday wishes!

      I'm new to the area and looking for some places to hunt  the next few weekends through bow/muzzleloader season. I'm living in New Paltz, and the place that seems the most promising to me so far is Vernooy Kill State forrest, and north into Sundown. Has anyone had any luck in these areas? Is there anywhere better in the area I should check out? Any info is welcome

      Hi Everyone,
      My name is Raul and I am a new hunter! I've been hunting public land for now, but have been suffering. I've done 2 10 hour sits at Kings Park and 3 10 hour sits at Rocky Point and haven't seen one deer. I use a treestand and use scent blocker. I also get there super early in the morning. I need help! I plan to go again this friday. I scouted Rocky point after the first day and always see sign and I try to hunt the areas, but no success. I hunt around 42 and 36 I think. If someone wants the exact spot I can send them it on a map. I am really just looking for help in any areas and everything. I have put so much effort yet all i want is to just see one that will keep moral up. Any help is really appreciated!

      New hunter to NY here. Found some public land to hunt, it’s a WMA. I wish I read the regs more thoroughly because I threw up a ladder stand yesterday and today when I was re-reading them, I saw you can’t put temporary stands on WMAs, only on state forests and other such state land. I honestly didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to, I even put my name and license # on the stand. I was going to go take it down tomorrow but it’s an hour drive so I wanted to ask, what do DEC officers do if they find a ladderstand like mine on a WMA? Is this an automatic fine or whatever? Will they just call me and tell me to come get it? Confiscate? How often do officers go through areas like WMAs and check for stands? Any info would be helpful. I’ll still probably go take it down tomorrow, although I have seen other stands up on the WMA, I just prefer to stay on the right side of the law myself. Thanks!

      Southern Zone only. I don't understand why they don't include rifle, only Bow & Muzzy...
