hmmm... i was trying to remember that but i forget if i did or not lol prob not...

yup ;) i txted a few buddies and told them im 200% addicted!!! nothing like standing there cussing out a damn doe who is standing calmly 30 yrds out of range eating apples and laughing at you

 

totally understand shaking like a leaf... do you practice from height at all? I suggest you put a stand up in the back yard or shoot off a desk to help you practice the angle.

 

On a side note, some of you guys posting after you see deer is amusing to me. If you see a deer you should be up and looking, not on your phone! haha.

Just had 4 does come in. Only a very mall one gave me a shot. I chose not to take it. As I put my bow down she spots me. And we stare each other down for a long time. She refuses to leave. And I refused to move, since I didn't want to burn the spot.

Well here's a first for me. I'm sitting here and out of no where a fawn comes shooting in all frantic, takes a dive at the bottom of this ridge I am on and rolls on its back and lays there. After 30 seconds gets up runs a 50 yard circle the. Falls down again 15 yards from my tree breathing heavy. I wonder if this deer is on its way out. It didn't look hit but had its mouth open. I wonder if something happened to the mom not to long ago and it's starving? Usually another Doe would help out but I don't see one in sight. Bright white spots all over it.

Just shot me what I think was a 8 or possible a 9 pointer! 30 yards quartering towards me, going to wait until dark to get down

Hope all goes well with that! Quartering to shots can be difficult (single lung, guts)....

      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!
