Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!


HuntingNY

Recommended Posts

Exciting morning so far. Had 2 nice bucks sneak past me 30 yards away in some thick brush. A button buck right in front of me for a half hour. Then a raccoon under the stand and a doe off to my left playing with her 2 fawns. Then a big Fischer I think it was climbs over the rock wall in front of me.

Good luck everyone. Be safe and strapped in. Looking forward to seeing some pics of some deer on the ground.

Wearing my HSS Ultra-Lite :)

 

I came withing inches (literaly) of having pics to post... right off the bat i had deer hanging out in front of me...  they popped out right as it got light, i didnt even have my camera out or my release on yet! 4 does hung around for about 1/2 hour till one walked past my "mental 20 yrd marker" and i let one fly... i was shaking like a leaf and missed... shot about and inch over her back... the does all trotted off and soon i saw another deer coming.... i looked and said HORNS!!!!! it was a nice 6 pt... that guy hung out a bit and then took off to check out the other end of the field (there was a doe down there that i couldnt see at first) after a while he came right back on a string and stopped at 20 yrds for a couple seconds I SHOULDA SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i didnt quite like the angle and then when he moved (perfect broadside) i was afraid he was gonna jump string (or me miss lol) cause he was kinda moving around... i shoulda just made a baaa and stopped him and shot... he soon trotted off into the bush and that was it for deer movement this morn...

Totals: 5 Doe, One 6pt buck 

anyhow i will have video of it all once i get around to editing it...

It's not all about the kill it's about everything leading up to it including a miss. Live and learn. I've been in your shoes several times, 20 yds out and even 15 yds and missed.

      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!
