Had today off, did a morning stint in 8j and saw 4 slicks and small 6. His rack was good enough to be older but his body was 1.5 all day. If he ever makes it he will be a stud in a few years bit probably not around here. Same buck came through in the afternoon about 50 yards out. Never winded me either time even though he go down wind for a minute. He was just lazily walking around but def during day light hours. Business is picking up I hope.

When the leaves are this dry every tiny squirrel sounds like a 12 pointer.

Isn't that the truth they sounded like elephants trumping around tonight. I didn't see anything at the stand tonight and kicked one up on the way out.

All the others in front of me..snapping branches as nd some falling to the ground..finally at 6:30 I was able to get on the ladder just to have a big buck walk under me..Lord it took him forever!Got home at 7.....

Just sat for 5 hours. May as well have had my stand on a Caribbean beach but at least my trail cams are indicating increased morning doe activity. Gonna try and get one in the am tomorrow which I have off.

Even a "monster" deer can be quite light footed and come in pretty quiet. IMO, squirrels don't start sounding like deer until the seeking/chasing phase begins which I'm happy to say, isn't far off! I wonder how many "All Day Sits" threads will pop up in the coming 2 weeks! lol

Got to the stand about 6. Started peeling off cloths right away. Definitely overdressed for 64 degrees. Had a nice shower to dampen those noisy leaves. Big bodied deer past by the stand not more than 15 minutes into the set. Heard tremendous thicket crashing behind me for a good hour. Several fawns surfaced from behind, eating ash and maple leaf new fall. They came in on my scent side. The winds could have been caring my scent right over the top of them. They worked their way into thicker wooded area. Mr red fox and an almost white skunk went by to say hello too. Good woodchuck hunting day, as many were out grazing on the legumes. Never checked the regulations to see if they could be bow hunted, so we passed.

      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!
