Recommended Posts

hunted 9p with family today. passed a 4, spike, and 7 pt. saw 3 doe and 2 button bucks. dad saw 7 doe and 3 6pt bucks. he took a shot at one of the 6pt and missed. the deer was rutting so hard it then mounted the doe right in front of him. my brother saw 17 doe and missed the one he shot at. so I guess you could say they were ripping our clothes off out there. what an amazing day. this is what its all about.

Just had a perfect approach to my 7j public stand that I've harvested 6 deer from in the past 3 years including my nice 8 last Sunday....it's gone.

I always pull two ladder sticks and take them with me back and forth, someone needed a ladder or climber to get this set...ughhhhhhhhh!

Guess I'll sit here a bit, my climber is in the truck but ughhhh....

Went to a stand that I thought they were coming over the hill and walking past...s/w wind is good for it...problem is when they hit the saddle the stand which at the bottom of hill is right there in front of them...I covered lower half with camo...I stood to remove having to stand for a shot and leaned against one of the trees...had my back to the hill watching the woods below me...All I did was shift my weight from one leg to the other....@#$%%$&* he must have seen my shoulders shift slightly...I heard the whumph and turned my head to see one of the areas big bucks whirling away and then watched him run along my ridge trail...... big wht tail up and tall wht tines slicing through the air...giving the world one more whumph for good measure...Yep passed that 8pt and ma nature is flying the bird at me :fie: ...

 

Pulled the cam card not far way and there are a lot of young buck passing through...still hanging together...and found his tracks on the trail...walking tracks are huge and deep...resting knee for a little while and headed back out...cold may have to go buy some thermal wraps for it

Wow, I havnt had a shooter deer on trail cam since 10-4 and only saw one shooter buck last week or October. I have the same 7 doe bedding up near by and not one big boy is interested... I keep getting the same 4 point and 7 point on cam, the 7 I passed 3 times already. Saw 2 doe and 2 yearling today. It was very cold and no winds this morning. Now winds are blowing pretty good. Seems like wind everyday

Saw two deer...only one i might have had a shot on was a small buck...and i have no tag lol. The doe on the other hand..she was a big girl. Biggest doe ive seen in years. She was pushing close to the size of my buck i shot. Wish she wouldve come in. Did find some nice rubs and fresh scrapes though.

      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!
