Recommended Posts

Why I like snow...they never cut the clover field so it's pretty tall...look out the kitchen window and see two turkey hens feeding in the clover just now....their dark bodies against a white back ground...perfect for seeing things in the woods and tall stuff...that was probably their daily routine...I just never saw them...lol

 

Will be sitting near the turnips a bit more now....

Very cold on the island this morning, light west wind. Already saw 5 deer in the past 50 minutes. Got a nice 8 point showing up in cam regularly. Think he's around 110" or I'd like to see him in person and see if he's bigger... Another doe working in behind me now

What a morning! Was sitting about 50 yards inside the woods of an overgrown field. Around 8 i had a doe come crashing into the woods 15 yards, then stopped and looked behind her. Then came a bruiser buck at least an 8 point with white tines. She took off back into the field and there he went. No shot, standing behind a bunch of saplings. About 4 minutes later I see deer working there way toward me. 3 does. Came in to 20 yards, the first two were about 2/3 the size of the third one. Those two came into the clearing and I was waiting on the third to draw on. Then another buck comes storming into the woods and they scatter! Real nice six point, nose to the ground. 25 yards and no shot! He worked them from the field into the woods two more times. each time getting further away. Awesome morning sit.

Had to stop to let a big mature buck cross the road in front of me on my way to camp this morning. Beautiful buck! He never looked, stopped, or had any concern, just slowly walked across the road in front of me. Of course, that got me excited for the morning hunt! Never saw a thing from the stand though (other than a coyote)! Figures...

      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!
