Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!


HuntingNY

Recommended Posts

So i ended up seeing 6 does and 2 fawns, then had a mature buck we call half rack come out at 20 yards. I did not have a chance to stand up, so i tried drawing on him while sitting and my sleeve swooshed against my pants, causing the buck to spook. Its too bad too, we have been after him for a couple of years. He has pedicle damage on his right side, so he only grows anything on the left. He has 5 points this year, and his body is ungodly big. His neck already blends down and leaves no visible brisket. After he left, I had the 2 1/2 year old 9 point come out and stand in my shooting lane for a couple of minutes. I let him go.

Ended up being a good sit.

Went out this evening with my son. Had a big doe and a little one come in. Big momma knew something wasnt right. Tried faking me out a bunch of times. I didnt bite, but she blew an they both bounded off. After about 30 yards they stopped and went back to feeding haha! Ten minutes later a doe or button buck came in an stood right next to my mock scrape. Couldnt help myself....15 yards. The shot felt good but the deer blew as the arrow wouldve impacted. Searched for blood or my arrow for over an hour. No luck. Gonna check again in the morning because my son swears i hit it good. Hoping to either find a clean arrow or a deer!

If you guys could only hunt till 930am tomorrow would you go? It is suppose to get down to 45 degrees tonight.

 

I spend quite a few morning only hunting till 9. In to work around 10 and don't have to waste a vacation day. I've killed a handful of deer after 9, but the majority have always been before 9 and the after 9am kills have usually been the rut.

      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!
