Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!


HuntingNY

Recommended Posts

More shooting this morning than any other day I've been out, except for opening day. Lots of tracks everywhere, but the snow is crusty and made still hunting tough. Someone pushed some deer through-- I have no idea how many or what they were-- about 70 yards away in thick brush. Just looked like rocket powered brown things at that point.

Around 10am we saw 3 or 4 guys walking down off the hill, they saw us and boogied out before we had a chance to talk with them. I bet it's part of a group that doesn't have permission to be there.

 

They don't seem to be browsing in the woods here... they are pawing in fields, lawns, any grassy areas. The snow is all tore up in my yard, and the farmer's (hay) fields. They are also after the apples, but that seems to be nocturnal stuff.

 

Had to quit at noon for a family obligation.

Tracks all over my property. Mostly boot shape. Grrrrrr seriously. What is so hard to comprehend about POSTED.

People are convinced that deer can read posted signs and have all retreated to your land for safety.

In the woods at 6, top of the tree at 6:15. Just about to pull my gun and gear up when I hear it. Turn to see a deer coming right from where I just came in. Tail was flagged but not running, just a slow walk. So not sure if it saw, heard, winded me, or what. Came under the stand by about 15 yards, but still couldn't tell buck or doe.

At least that's a good start to the day! Now I'm just surrounded by an army of squirrels.

Looks like deer dance party USA was held in here yesterday/ last night. Flipping tracks all over!

Noticed tons of fresh track too yesterday but not a sighting all day. I think they're moving under cover of darkness and laying low until next Sunday. Good luck!

      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!
