Recommended Posts

Having a "grow" morning. Lol. Forgot my hat and gloves, freaked around for 15 minutes in the dark so my bow sight wouldn't get bounced around only to then get to my stand and settle in to find part of my sight is missing. Brand freaking new and its on of those lighted deals. Not that I can use it lighted anyway because of my bifocals and always ful light out when I will pick the bow up anyway. But stil it's just the thought that I lost a part already, that frosts me! Oh and for the record, I just let a doe and her fawn walk past. Good luck this morning folks! And, thanks Grow....your escapades are starting to spread! Lolololol

Good luck guys...alarm buzzed at 4:30...I listened to the wind howling out my open window...turned it off and rolled over..... these wind directions are rare..well not as much as they use to be...but near all set ups are for the opposite direction...it gets them all spooky any ways....have fun ...be safe...

Had a big body spike we have been trying to take out since last year at 15 yards this morning. Somehow i had equipment failure and the arrow didnt go anywhere near the deer. He milled around and got 20 yards in front of me....sent another arrow and ive never seen a deer lay down on its belly that fast. I even aimed low thinking he would jump the string. Little depressed but what are ya gonna do...it happens!

i ended up seeing nothing.  Pulled the cams..still got some activity.  This is on my new lease. Talked to a neighbor..come to find out my property used to be an old apple orchard.  The activity on cams has dwindled drastically and almost all of it is nocturnal...makes me worried that my property was just the apple spot.  Nothing on cam but a doe or two and a 4 pt.  Ughh time to get my walking shoes on and find out where they went and if there is any point in hunting this property anymore this season.

If it makes you feel any better Jesse, I pulled the footage off of three of my cams yesterday and with the exception of does all footage is noctutnal as well.

Based upon what I had seen in the stand yesterday they came down paths I wouldn't have expected nor do I have cams on so that doesn't mean the deer aren't out there.

got up in my stand for the evening sit 1/2 hour ago. Had a few doe and two fawns pass 5 yards below me. Im not here for does today. Coming in, I found fresh tracks from what is most likely my target buck. They werent there yesterday. I have a good wond for this stand, if he decides to head for the corn tonight, he should have to go by me.

      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!
