Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!


HuntingNY

Recommended Posts

Had the shooter I have been after all year show up finally this morning. Was with 4 does and worked with them back to the bedding area around 730....40 yds in the thick stuff, never presented a clear shot. Saw a thick beamed 8 but never came closer then 100. Had 5 different bucks come within ten yards but were all 1.5- 2.5 yr olds. Two of them were fighting in the corn, and then came back into the hardwoods and one of them had a corn stalk stuck to his antler. So much grunting it was unreal. One of those days we dream of. I have a family thing tonight so had to get down at noon. It's killing me with the spot being so hot!! I'll be out in the am to brave the wind!

Took my 5yr old out for his 3rd hunt ever. First two hunts we didn't see any from the blind. Tonight he saw the deer b4 I did. 3 doe were coming thru, I grabbed the bow there only 10yrds in front of us then I see a small buck come charging in. He stops shoot maybe 15yrds. We wait a while get out of the blind my sons so excited. Find a clump of hair, start heading the direction he ran but find no blood anywhere. Light runs out so were heading back in the am to give it our all. UGH

Three bucks two doe so far. The big boy I 'm after came in at 8 and the doe was a little unsure of me so they walked off leaving me with no shot.

Question: is this stand done for the day if he's the only one I'm after?

No he will push that doe and she will lead him around they could end up right back in front of you in 10 minutes, 2 hrs, etc...

Despite the occasional gust of swirling wind, Beauty of a day... Just the young buck seen.

Heading down in a few to make some jerky and play with my son...last chance to fill my wife's dmp here tomorrow...this stand is finished once the orange army deploys.

      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!
