went out for a couple of hours...They were in the lower plot in the turnips and I just couldn't get down close enough...every time I moved then glassed a young button was looking my way...then 3 others trotted off in the woods but disappeared....I finally backed out and went to a ladder stand for last hour hour...swore to shoot a pesky squirrel as soon as my alarm buzzed...but even he decided to leave just a moment before...beautiful sun set....tons of tracks every where...shouldn't have wimped this a.m.

Was sitting at a new spot this afternoon sat for about an hour n a half got up and started walking for a little. Walked 3 steps stopped looked around. At about 100 yards I see something walking I stop start grunting and stood there for about 5 min waiting to see it walk back. I hear branches crackling 20 yards from me and a doe comes jumping out took a couple of shots and missed, seen a fawn walk out at 50 yards afterwards. Hoping tomorrow morning I get a better shot. New spot looking good, never hunted that part of my property before. Gilboa

I agree!! The Hail Mary of hunting pays off sometimes! I will be heading out as soon as the wife returns even if it is just for an hour,or even a half hour. I won't be making the long trip up to the usual stand but I have a few spots I can check out. Good luck!

 

Well I almost had pics to back this up lol! I made it to the area where I got my buck during bow. I got out of the car at 3:20 or so and started walking the nice manicured "driveway" and lawn down to the landowners garage and camp about 200 yards from where I park along the road. There are thickets on the sides where I have gotten a deer late season before. I walked down the hill to the area where the garage is. It has about a half acre of lawn with a roaring brook and some pines on the other side where the camp is. As I get into view of the garage and lawn I jumped a big doe feeding on grass. It ran and jumped the brook. I took 10 more steps and as the garage camp into view a nice buck bounded out of site! I could see bone protruding higher than the ears by quite a bit. Didn't seem like a wide rack but probably a 2.5yr... Oh well. I still hunted across the brook through some manicured trails through the pines along the brushy creek draw and eventually stopped at the stone wall along the field. Hunkered down at a little before 4 and had a small doe came walking in within 30 feet feeding on grass. Passed her up and finally had to jump her because I was stuck in the awkward shooting postion and horribly cramping up. Uplifting experience after the extreme pressure at the new spot.

Great day in 8F. Me and 3 buddies did a little pushing around some orchards surrounded by swamps. We got one doe this morning, I got her with one shot from my 6MM remington. That was it for the morning drive. Then this afternoon one of us got a doe that came out to the orchard to feed with two fawns and one of the other guys got an eight pointer that had also come out to the orchards. The deer are hitting the apples BIG time! Hardly any sign in the ag fields. So as one of the guys said at the end of the day " Three out of four ain't bad....... unless your number four! "

      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!
