Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!


HuntingNY

Recommended Posts

So after my 4 days in camp hunting, listening to about 300 rounds of ammo being shot off by neighbors. people screaming and yelling, car doors slamming, chainsaws cutting and warm weather I saw 7 doe's and 1 button buck, Who said the Catskills is wilderness ?? :angry:

yup, people were worried about the youth hunt being a disruption this weekend.....everyone up this weekend shooting like crazy, driving their quads and making noise in general was more of a disruption than anything else...........but, I'm sure the local businesses enjoyed it, and quite honestly they deserve it after losing the business since the regular season opener was moved to Saturday.

Thanks. Ligament issue in the shoulder, they claim I can probably draw the bow by weekend :huh:

possible being the weekend is 6/7 days away, remember, better safe than sorry, allow a little extra time. i know you said your symptoms have improved being able to lift a gallon jug, but that is the cardinal sin cause patients think,  great ! and proceed to over due it and end up worse than they started... as a fellow bow hunter I KNOW your itchin , but the weather is still warm, the rut is not for another couple weeks, so don't blow it now... great that its only a lig sprain, and not a surgical candidate like a labral tear, or even rotator cuff involvment which can be a touchy situation cause it is constantly in play with shoulder movement.. gradually increase your shoulder act and the weight you lift with it... if you have some discomfort that last more than an hour or two after activity, back off, slow it down... otherwise some pain or discomfort that goes away with rest after some act, your ok, still you want to work just short of what produces those symptoms...   good luck n i hope to see you in the bow harvest thread this season!

Too bad all i saw was a really big 4 point. Couldve been a 6 but i couldnt see browtines. I had literally been in this new stand maybe 2 minutes when i looked to my left and saw a bush moving...bush turned out to be antlers rubbing a tree lol. As i got out for the evening i paced it off...35 yards and he was broadside. Makes me wish i was still shooting light and fast carbon arrows, 25 is my max. Judging by body and head size...probably a 2.5 year old or older. Nice mass to the horns, and had he come closer i wouldve taken him.

Big bruiser went running by @ 10:30. He was trotting so fast I didn't have a chance.

I was looking over my shoulder to my right, I here him to my left.... About 20 yrds out.. I got him to stop behind me at 37yds, with a rattle, but didn't have a good lane.

Sigh.....

      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!
