Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!

Recommended Posts

Damnit...been in the stand 90 minutes quiet and still and then from out of nowhere two huge sneezes...

I can almost always stifle a sneeze or cough, these just caught me off guard..any one else have methods for controlling body functions on the stand?

Ohhh he does have a ,,,,lets say issue ...when I try to head to camp for turkey or bow season...lol

My wife is pretty good about it considering we have a 22 month old kid and no family in NY.

Her rope was worn thin by late gun season in NY but I took it easy on her then and most of late bow.

Now my hunting is a weekend thing or in this case she is spending time at her mothers a couple days...she'd rather have me in the woods than moping around over there!

Well after an exciting NJ start and some early am footage of a public land shooter, the past 2 sits have been super quiet.

Gonna give it another half hour or so before I head back across the river to PA and help my folks get ready for their massive extended family Xmas party.

If I had some action today I was gonna consider another am sit tomorrow but as of right now this is it for NJ until Feb...yeah well beats not hunting!

My wife needed the weekend to catch up on work so I dropped my Son off at my moms in PA and I'm bow hunting either sex in NJ for the next two days.

Just pulled into the Hampton inn, got two free nights from my wife's travel rewards...I'm 5 minutes from my fav public WMA, not bad temporary free hunting camp:post-1622-1388794567281_thumb.jpg

Frigid with a good snow cover...temps are supposed to climb into the mid20's tomorrow and upper 30's Sunday. Prolly head into the woods at first light with the climber and sit a few hours before setting up a little deeper in the woods for the pm and Sunday sits.

Okay, I just have to ask this, out of curiosity. How do you manage to get so much free time to hunt? Having to work to support the family, I find it impossible to get that much free time. What's your secret?

Not that its any of your business but i dont mind bragging about my wife.

My wife has a lucrative career which involves 20% international travel, 80% in-home office...I watch my kid and dogs for a living since my career in land management pays far less...and I hunt primarily short 3-4 hour sessions whenever I can.

I am actually doing my wife a favor this weekend by getting myself and son out of her hair. Hotel was free thanks to her work travel.

Well, now, that was very "hurtful."  All I did was ask a simple question.

      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!
