Recommended Posts

Well, I sure didn't put a dent in the deer population today. Hahaha But either my neighbor or somebody trespassing started blazing away. Then it sounded Iike they were following closer snd closer towards me, jumping it and shooting at it. On my property of course!! I expect I'll either get a call tonight to get permission to drag it out thtough my fields, or as in the past, some sneak in under the cover of darkness with flashlights, take care of business and try to sneak back out.

So I head back out and took a different route....to not spook deer...head down watching my step on a muddy slope ...turned corner around a dogwood bush and a bb snorts right in my face and bolts..WTH I near wet my self...lol...so he stops about 30 yrds out and is looking and sniffing bobbing the head...but not leaving..well I couldn't wait any longer, so I continued on and he just hopped into thicker stuff...then 100yrds later kick up a bedded doe...So much for that plan...the running doe came by at close and I had to kick a fawn out of the lane way....200yrds over on neighbors were all the big doe and fawn ...feeding in his grass field...

 

Stand wont be going up tonight...tripped landed on bad knee...had to use my unloaded gun as a crutch to get up...dumb!!!...and the wind has arrived early and it's rather breezy out there...well got get the ice on...

All 3 of us passed deer, I don't shoot does opening day, bucks all young.

Our posted private managed land had trespassers for the first time in years . Couple young kids this morning,never caught up,with them although saw their truck.

Kids came back this afternoon,stayed on their side although on boarder saw me changed course 45 degrees....looked like he was going to cross over where he did in the morning till he saw me.

Land owner had a talk with them,but not caught in act,I lost PM hunt going after them....

I'll be talking to land owner who's land they " hunt " , his land is as open as a golf course.

Soon as I get their plate number it ll get interesting....

In stand it's very nice out. Using the ladder stand for the first time my view and shootin lanes look good but now that I'm here with my gear the angle of the stand is not that great fr a lefty shooter. Hopefully I'll have better luck than I did yesterday here in 3m

Must be somebody got on stand before me and the BIL this morning. We're both on my wheeler headed way up to top through the fields and "what the heck!" Big Tom turkey comes running wild eyed straight atv. I try to swerve and the bud thing slams the wheeler and bounced off my leg. BIL can't see past me and yells "what the hell is going on", as I runs off into the goldenrod. Hahaha Settled into my tree house now safe from anymore turkeys. Good luck hunters!

      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!
