Well I went out to the additional 100 acres I got permission to hunt on the opposite side of the road from where I typically hunt. Went out last night and found a 6" cedar ripped to shreds. Saw 5 slip through the thick stiff last night. Froze my cahones off this AM saw one skipper on the walk out, and discovered runs everywhere. My face was so frozen I couldn't feel my lips, I thought I had Bells Paulsy lol. Can't wait to get back out there after my venison bacon cheesburger. nom nom nom.

A bit of Lake effect snow in 5h tapered off now making for better visibility and lines of sight. So many rubs and scrapes, fresh track, but no actual sightings. Where is everybody! ?

All bundled up and toasty toasty toasty! Wind is brutal so I opted for the camper stand. It's an old camper shell that flaps, pops and snaps in the wind but cuts down on most of it. Now I just have to listen to the rat run back and forth over my head. Lol. Good luck hunters!

They should make tiny luxury campers you can hunt right out of and haul with an atv!

Whole new meaning to sleeping in your stand, like overnight...talk about a silent morning approach, how about no approach.

I may have to mod a little motorcycle camper.

Kept warm by creeping around the thick brush where they've been hiding out during the wind. Managed to locate deer, but no good shots. Got covered with an inch of snow that seemed to come down all at once. Amazing! And it packed in hard around my sights. I was cracking up at how covered in snow I was. Decided to just plop down by the trail and see if anyone wandered by until I couldn't get my fingers to warm up.

Bushwacking through part of my land I've not yet been on, I stumbled on a mature doe. Too late, not only did she run, she ran near the property line. I pushed a bit further in but lost the tracks. Was getting dark so I turned back. Thank god for gps on my cell phone. The 20 minute hike back to the main trail should have been no problem but the snow got heavy and the wind whipped up. My battery at 4% I was nearly jogging through the brambles and across the bogs. Last time I got lost without gps (daytime) it took an hour to get out. Thank God I just made it to a familiar trail or I'd be in the woods tonight. There's a thousand acres here. Yikes.

      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!
