Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!


HuntingNY

Recommended Posts

In my last 100 hours with a Gun in the woods I have seen 3 deer, 2 small does during the youth hunt and an even smaller doe yesterday at 718. Full camo head to toe, scent free clothes washed in scent free detergent, cover scent everything done the way your "supposed to". Trails everywhere, great sign. No deer. I swear on my next hunt either tomorrow or Wednesday I'm going back to the ways I hunted as a kid with my father.Daily worn Jeans, Work boots, red and black lumberjack or bright red coat, daily worn baseball hat, Jersey work gloves, all washed in tide detergent and dried with bounce scented dryer sheets and I'm sitting on the ground. No chair or stools. No proper hunting clothes and I will be anxious to see if I see deer again. Sorry for the rant. Good luck in the dampness today. Sitting optimistic!

Hoythunter. I'm with you on that line of thinking. Go back and see he buck my BIL shot the first day out ever with a bow. We were laughing about it again last night while playing cards. He never scouted a day in his life, wearing camo that was just washed in Tide and dried in the dryer with softener sheets, deodorant, no face paint, stood next to an apple tree and watched it walk to him from over a hundred yards away. He then at 15 yards takes the bow off the branch he has it hanging on, draws and shots the deer. Net score of rack 114. I will give him all the credit in the world for keeping calm and making a nice shot. But geeze!!!!! I think I'm getting down miday and going into the diner with my hunting clothes on and eat anything I want including onion rings and the wipe my greasy hands on my clothes, I'll bring coffee back to my stand and forget all this preparation overkill. Hahaha

We'll 2, 10s I wish I had the same problem. I had my fill today. After sitting in. The rain till noon we walked into the thickest shit swamp and tried aggressive calling figuring we wouldn't be out til Wednesday anyway. I think I have acorn scented coon piss on My drag line. The squirrels followed us to the swamp. Now home having a great sit in. The. Bathroom waiting for the race. If 48 does well today I hope lowes gives all card holders 6% off. Good luck all.

Hillbilly, good luck, that buck your bil shot was nice

Walked up to the state land sat on a ridge line with pines behind me about 20 yards after 45 minutes I think I hear a snort so I look behind me and there's a doe I flick my safety off open my scope cover and stand up by that time she's in the pines. All I had was hind quarter to shoot at didn't shoot. Moved down the ridge line a little ways hoping to see something else moving about

      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!
