Live from the living room.  Just ate quarter pound of summer sausage 80% venison 20% pork.  Yummy, washing down with Ginger Ale. 

 

Anyway, I hope I have some movement on my property next weekend.  I haven't been down since November 14th, I haven't hunted shotgun yet.  From a lot of the posts It seems these deer have turned into Caspers.  We will see....

Back home...20 mins after those two does walked by there was shooting in the direction they were heading.

Got down at like 10 and took a slow stroll to my Ridgetop stand and changed the batteries on my mms cam.

Fresh tracks everywhere...fresh urinated pool/snowcone then a long trail of huge tracks/urine...but it led off the property.

Farmer saw a monster chasing behind his corn cribs yesterday and the other lease of his has harvested 3 mature bucks since gun opener.

Tons of shooting nearby this morning, most yet for me.

I think things and picking up for the second breeding period up in 7f.

So much for the moon phase having them out and about. Nothing so far. Going to be a long day if it stays this quiet. Not even neighboring shots

@BGF I think solunar peak is miday and late afternoon...tomorrow and Tuesday am's are supposed to be equally good as the midday and evening peaks.

Took a day off to accomplish some chores and spend a day with the wife. After 3 days in the woods dusk to dark she says she misses me. 

 

Tried a new spot yesterday with a buddy and saw some decent sign. Another guy up the ridge from us, maybe .25 mile, shot a doe. Took tomorrow off to hunt, so that will be a full day in the woods. 

 

Good luck everyone.

Seen at least 40 sets of track. They are literally everywhere today. Yesterday and the day before, nothing. Amazing! Well I'm doing a last minute stand move to a shooting lane where a dozen tracks crossed the trail, just like last year. This afternoon's gonna be the one. I can already taste the sausages, lol

Get the "Best Hunting Times" app. It's really cool even if you don't live and die by the lunar calendar.

      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!
