Only saw a 6pt and a half rack. Half rack would have been around 100-110 if he had both sides. I drew on him and decided to wait. There's bigger. I come out and say to my dad, did u see those two bucks come from behind the house he say no, did u see the big one he was heading your way. Damn it I never saw him.

Another boring day in 3A. Some of you guys see more deer in a sit than I do all season. Considering releasing a arrow straight up in the air just to add some excitement to the afternoon. I wish I had a dollar for every noise the chipmunks make around me.

Ya but it's seeing the one that you really want to shoot that counts...lol...It's squirrel and fox here other than deer....one Fox has stopped to give me a great shot a few times now....his luck is about to run out....seeing I have hens about with out and poults or flock with them...

went in today, it was raining pretty good. figured id go change cards and do a bit of a stalk. on the way in about 25 yards to my left a huge buck gets up and trots off a few bounds. he was big and he had a heavy heavy rack. he was at least an 8 point but boy did he have some tine length and mass. walked around a bit but was getting sweated up so i left the woods and dried my clothes for tomorrow. im hoping these deer will be on their feet bright and early tomorrow and hopefully see a nice buck!

Good afternoon sit. Saw two different bucks, both young, 4 and a gorgeous spike that looked like a wish bone. First I've seen of him and tempted to shoot as that's always been a rack I wanted. They came in 15 min apart and didn't know of the other until they saw each other in the field. Ran right up to each other and started sparring, first time I've ever saw this and was awesome! I'll be back in the AM

      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!
