Oblivitar the buck in pic...was a high downward shot he trotted ...no running away ....with the arrow sticking up out of him....I watched carefully and listened..heard the crashing...I found just a couple of specs of blood on some tall golden rod...but followed what I thought to be his trail...found him just as he dropped his head for the last time...no blood...no arrow...gutted him and the arrow had snapped in two somewhere...the broad head traveled along the inside of his rib cage...thankfully missing guts...then firmly imbedded it's self in the middle of his thigh...it was a walking away shot...the arrow had flipped when he snapped it off...Good luck finding him...AND WATCH OUT FOR THE BROADHEAD WHEN GUTTING and BUTCHERING

Oblivitar...  Can Deer Search..  Their is a link to thier site saved somewhere here on the site..  I would imagine they are probably not to busy this time of year...  I have not used them myself, but have heard they can work magic

No more blood and I've been walking around for miles.this sucks

Don't know if it was suggested already... But is there any water in the area? I usually walk streams when having trouble tracking a hit animal, to be honest I've found that shot deer have a tendency to seek out water and then die

Hope you find it oblivitar.

Anyone want this one? She won't leave my stand and I can't shoot her because them I would have to dirty the bed of my sissy truck. Some if you know how much that concerns me.

 

I'm gonna bite... What is the sissy truck? Did I miss something??

HaHa, As a former member I can tell you that They can be very busy now that the whole state is open for hunting. And don't forget quite a few of them are hunters also.If you think the deer is on somebody elses property, You have to get written permision from them that states that you and Deer Search can go on there property.It is prefersd that you do not bring any shooting implements with You.Deer Search personell are permited,if the deer has to be dispached.They are using there own trained blood tracking dogs and there time, so either way if they find it or not give them a tip tahat you can afford.

lurking,  "not busy" was a very bad choice of words on my part..  I was thinking in relative terms of how busy the group must be during the regular season vs. early bow season. 

 

I understand the group is all volunteer and am always blown away by the fact that these people give up a portion of thier hunting season to help out others.

 

Again, my apology for the bad choice of words.

      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!
