Well ran into my first bow hunter on state land. He was walking straight at me in a field. think he was planning to set up here. Sorry pal beat you by one hour. He stood there starring at me. I'm sure he was swearing. The he turned 90 ° and headed down the field edge. I have a feeling he is going to try and cut me off

3m Had a big bear on trail camera Friday. Out this morning, despite the whipping winds i had 5 doe and 2 spike browsing around me for quite some time. With work at 10, wasn't looking to shoot a doe this morning. Out again tomorrow afternoon, hopefully able to put some meat on the freezer.

So Friday was my last day to hunt before spending the weekend packing up to head to New Mexico for some elk hunting. Saw a few nice doe in the am but no good shot. In the evening I had a close encounter (15yds) with a nice 8-pt but no chance at a shot. Drew on him twice but too much brush to poke an arrow thru. After about 40 minutes of watching him wander by and out into the winter wheat field darkness (pitch black) descended on me and I snuck out without being busted.

The next morning a 14 yr old son of a friend arrowhead his first deer, a doe, in the stand I spent my am in on Friday! It was so much fun to see his excitement when we tracked it 25 yds. and found that he made a great shot on it.

Then another buddy who sat in the stand where I saw the eight climbed down about ten, walked around the corner and there was the eight feeding right in the middle of the trail, less than ten yds away! Another short tracking job and we all retired to the house for some celebrating.

Wonder how many others my friends will take off of my property while I'm gone? Really, I enjoy having friends over, especially the young ones.

Good luck all. Hope the weather settles down a bit.

Called it quits at 9am in 7P. Freezing. Shooting a recurve and only having a thin shooting glove on your is cold. As i am walking back to house walk up on a yearling doe by the bird feeder by the house. So i take my short hair to hunt for some grouse and see a fisher 30 yards off the road clombing a dead tree ripping it apart. He was so occupied i turned the jeep around got out and stalked to within 20 yards and took some video. Will try And post later.

The wind constantly swirled again tonight. Had 3 doe just out of range when they caught my scent.

Had a lone deer blowing down in the brushy bottom. I think it was a buck trying to make his way to a scrape line. Northwest winds just dont work in that spot. Oh well, it's enjoyable just being afield. Gonna work some ot this week and let that spot sit til the rut. I got the does patterned, so it won't be long til the bucks will be cruising!

 Well just got back from my first sit of the year! I saw 23 doe and one 5 point buck. Most were out of range but 3 doe came in at 12 yards which is exactly where I wanted them. I went to shoot but when I pulled back my peep had turned and I couldn't see a thing out of it. I think the d loop moved or the string re-stretched, but in all honesty I have no clue. Ill be headed to the pro shop Tuesday to hopefully see what the problem is. I've never had this happen to me so i'm flying blind.

      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!
