Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!

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...

good stuff! congrats

Well saw nothing. Same spot where I wounded the buck on Sunday. At first light Iook down and fresh scrape right under my tree. Looked around and there is a fresh scrape line so that looks promising. Going its the same buck and he lived.

New spot this morning. In a ground blind on a friends property. Had the opportunity to pass on a button buck at first light. He came down the trail as expected and was at 5 yards when I could first see him, 10 when he passed through the shooting lane. Nothing since. That's the only deer I've seen after three days out. I know it will get better. Absolutely beautiful morning!

Another great morning....so quiet and fresh...beautiful starry sky walking in to new area....tad noisy but have to let leafs dry then mow....lots of squirrel in the spot...even with out oak or apples but the beech and hickory are plentiful......They were moving between 7:30 and 10 am...fawn at 7:30...the later a mature doe ..yearling  with a fawn...they walked back and forth down wind of me at 50 yrds...the ole gal was just to suspicious to come in though she surely wanted to..this went on for 25 or so mins....then they moved farther away...I saw legs along the our wood line and the farmers field150 yrds away...and then at 9:45 as I was packing up a herd trotted down the woods edge and entered out gully....lost count at 10...waited to see if they'd come my way ...but must have gone up over the ridge headed down hill to the swamps...So I know where I'll be this afternoon....Good Luck

Truck is ready to go at 4 on the dot.

 

Hoping a buck has returned to using one of his beds after quite a bit of disturbance and a bleeding finger last week. The wind is right for it, but I'm going to have to sneak in and use the climber since the stand was never ultimately set. Wish I was done with work at 3 and not 4.

LOL, that finger is nagging me. Still not comfortable yet, been 8-9 days. Taking the climber as I can't grip much without the left pointer. Lucky I can draw my bow somewhat now.

Well back on my lease. I have been hunting my apples but not song anything. I think they are hitting them at dark. Moved to a different spot. Travel route to the apples to try to jump on them early. Problem is that the rain flooded it with 2-4 inches of water. Think the deer will still use the route?

38 degrees woohoo!

Had deer on both sides of me a bit ago. They get all spooky and take off and here comes a yote. Let an arrow go but it was still dim out and I hit some brush so it looks like the scoundrel escaped.

Well it is close to legal sunrise hope that was not it for the morn

      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!
