Doe down, last sit of the year. I tracked a deer earlier in the day and passed it up. Saw two huge beds and both went onto neighboring properties. I ended up sitting in an old wooden blind overlooking hardwoods where they fed in the morning. Looked up and there was a deer. I shot and missed a neck shot. The deer stayed and I reloaded. Took a broadside shot and the deer took off dragging it's rear leg. My stomach twisted and I felt sick. It was my first bad hit in 14 years of hunting. I was praying and praying I hit an artery, luckly I did. Saw her bedded down and tried for another shot. I don't think I hit her again. I tried to reload and I dropped all my primers in the snow. I ran up to dispatch with a knife and she expired before I had to. This was my worst experience while hunting. Oh, to top it off after she took off dragging her leg there was a fawn looking for her, and I felt blood running down my face, my first case of scope nose. Thank God she died within 20 minutes of the first shot, and she wasn't lactating. The skipper was of good size and hopefully it will team up with some other deer. Just a rough, rough evening but something many hunters go through at one time or another. Must have bumped my scope, I am really shocked it went down like this.

You're lucky you made it out of the woods in one piece. :fie:

Got my first deer (ever!) last night! Got to say, I got a lot of insight from this group, tips, tricks, and hang in there support. Thanks to everyone I met a local man from this list, and he became

Thanks. I should have created a new topic, but I am tired and beat up, sorry for any confusion. Oh yeah, this is geat, sometime on the one mile drag my golden estrous vile popped open and soaked all the way through my layers to my skin.

You're lucky Mr Big didn't wind you and come push you back to your vehicle.

Made it out for the last 2 hrs today I didn't see anything while in. The stand but while walking the trail back to the truck I seem a doe and while turning the power on my scope she took off. O well I got a deer with the bow and muzzle loader this year time to clean the car out this week and put all the hunting stuff away for a while

Here is the buck I took at 8:00am this morning. The wind for this location was wrong for the hunt, and I knew it. But I placed my three scents containers out and then emptied my scent bottle around the tree I was in. Hoping it would bring in the big buck. At 8:00am he came sneeking in the brush 60 yards from me. One shot from the muzzleloader and the buck was down. I could not believe what just happened......Dez Hunter

      Gun Hunt in 3G, 3F, 3N Help
      By Raul2145
      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!

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      Any good spots within an hour of New Paltz?
      By Toth9050
      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

      Rocky Point
      By Raul2145
      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!
