Live From the Stand / Woods 2013!

I'm on a business trip this week. My wife text me yesterday morning to tell me the big 10 point was in our back yard around 7am eating apples with a doe. Perfect. Fml...

Do you want me to check up on your house and shoot that problematic 10pt?

Neighbor called with bad news. The elusive 8 pointer that's been in my woods got hit by someone passing by the night before last. Not being a hunter, the guy knocked on my friend's door. They went around the property scouting but eventually lost the tracks. He was found yesterday near death, a bit farther into the forest and quickly dispatched. I haven't seen a single buck all year and a big one has to walk into the path of a car, at night, on a secondary road, in a town of 600 people? That's a crying shame. Hope there's something left for me this Friday.

Hail mary shot tonight. Sat in brush near soybean field after work at 4:15 to 4:45. Saw the 9 point I have been waiting on all year. Half the rack was broken off. Let him go for next year. Only 2 1/2 this years old this year, probably scoring 115, probably a 130-150 deer next year. Thought he was dead until tonight. Never saw him all bow or gun season. 3 doe popped out 3 minutes after sitting down. 5 minutes later here he came. Had him dead to rights. I have 3 big doe in freezer otherwise he would have been sacrificed for meat. Only buck worth shooting in my 8A hunting spot. should have shot a doe on my last DMP. Muzzleloader will be fun. I am going to miss this!!!

That's great. Means up in 5 H most if not all of the snow will have melted by now. I get tired slogging through the 8 to 10 inches and that crunching sound...I'll be up tomorrow.

      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!
