Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!


HuntingNY

Recommended Posts

I used this day for checking out my gun stands and getting them all fixed up and ready for Saturday. I dragged my bow along just in case something weird happened, but it seemed like a more suitable day for getting things organized for the up-coming gun season.

I just got home. I ended up getting down out of the tree because the winds were so bad. It turned out to be a good thing I had five does a button buck and a small eight pointer all within 10 yards of me. I could've shot the buck and the button buck but the does never got into a lane. It was fun even if I didn't get anything.

Well I just had to...got dressed and took card back to cam...the wind was actually  good for 2 direction in that area so I climbed up for the last hour...only thing I saw or heard were crows and one single shot gun blast on the hunting camp behind neighbors...close to our corner....not 10 mins later...a single shot gun blast from the direction of the lease...both close and both just before dark...neither place allows yote hunting before deer season and especially during bow...unless...Well been here enough years to know what those shots were... :fie:

Maybe the boisterous crows were getting on their nerves?

Poaching with a shotgun? Could they have picked a more dainty caliber?lol

Predate...they just don't care....zero chance of getting caught around here ....had one DEC officer tell me years ago....they were tired of going into town courts ...when everyone is related to everyone else...being made to look like idiots...during some local political issues...I saw exactly what he meant...a tad freaky ...when thought about......

ah I see.

Yeah pretty sad when Johnny law won't stand up for what's right, but will eagerly push his badge around to show authority.

 

Kinda makes ya wonder if China runs our public safety commission!

The snow has now reveled what I was trying to figure out.....there is a 15 acre golden rod field near by...they are hiding in there...feeding on us then going back into the field..crazy the amount of tracks coming and going along the edge of that field and our place the whole length of line....that is where both this mornings buck were headed...

      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!
