Well im soaked. Got into stand must bad a buck sneak in at me down wind. He wheezed and then stepped out.. slight quartering away. I climbed 6 inches to high and didn't have clearance and had to duck which played havoc on my form. Sour looked low but I could be wrong since it's first light. Coukdnt count the points or see the rack other than it was outside the ears. Im hunting 3 rivers wmu today .

They love traveling them too...I thought about it and...besides...as you see I have good cover and food lining many of the trails...but it's quiet for them as well...better to here things around you....

 

not meant as a knock at all. Deer are lazy.. .most deer. I've seen mature books literally go out of their way and even coral a hot doe into the thickest sh!t you can imagine and avoid the "highways".

here...one of the biggest 12 points I've seen on the place stepped 10 yrds out in front of me as I was walking the DR mower down one of my trails to remove the leafs...another very hot Oct and I'd taken an 8pt 2 days earlier...I just kept walking Dr roaring away and he walked in front of me down that trail for 200ft...but the thing about trails,,,doesn't matter if the buck "walk" them...just the doe...for the boys come in and zig zag the place crossing the trails scent checking......No knock taken... :good: Your right they are lazy and love the path of least resistance...

The trail to get up to my stand is weedwacked as low as possible and is trimmed about 4 feet wide. It's nice not to touch anything when going to the stand and nice to drag the deer down too. The buck in my avatar walked right up the trail (2 hours after I walked up it) and that's the last thing he did.

Well I ended up having 6 or 7 does and a few fawns come running out 30 yards to my left just before sunset, and one of the does gave me a nice, ever so slight quartering to shot. I rewarded her with a 125 grain tipped carbon injection right through both lungs and the center of her heart. She took off and i heard her crash 30 yards away in the thick stuff off to the left in the pic i posted earlier. It was a good night! Pics in the success thread...

      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!

      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      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!
