Ugh, I just can't do these windchills for too long until I invest in some better cold weather clothing. I didn't see a single track except down low in the thick-- where I can't hunt due to houses and property lines.
Forecast says this cold and wind will be around well into the week. Ick.

 

Good luck to those of you that are out there.

it's not just sitting and waiting or even stalking...but the thought of putting on thin rubber gloves and gutting and caring for the kill...just can't think of it...lol

My friends son shot a deer in Montana with 5 degree temps. On the other side of the river..... One guy went back for the waders while the rest built a fire . Once the deer was floated back across the gutting began. If you touched the knife blade your finger stuck to it !

Might do a 30 minute Webster hunt later today.

I was thinking of hitting a nearby public spot, but that buck sighting this morning was encouraging so I'll just head to the pine stand out back again instead...less time in the elements, much shorter drag if I get one.

I don't use rubber gloves but i can see your point.

The adrenaline of the harvest and the inside of a deer have heated me up enough to gut and drag in temps like these before. It's the thought of getting to do it in the snow again that gets me out there.

Also I say a dry 20's is better than a wet 40's.

Back in the house, slow cooker full of piping hot pork and beans, coffee, and company of my wife, two cats and our little terrier. A welcome end to a slow but peaceful afternoon of deer hunting.

pork and beans and coffee? sounds like you're going to be alone in a few hours............

      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!
