Been hearing single shots in the early am too. Anyone else experiencing similar?  I know we have a bunch of redneck poachers in our area.

 

I had 3 single shots that started at 6:20 am.  All from different areas. People must figure they purchased a muzzleloader license for crossbow, why not take the muzzleloader out and get a deer.

 

Not a great experience this morning on the way out. I believed to have been challenged by a buck.  Buck pee smell on the bottle and carrying antlers must of gave him the wrong idea to charge me. I grabbed an arrow but didn't need it. Be careful out there!

have well over an inch of snow  the winds got me a bit scared in one of what I consider my safest trees...but sat tight until the gloves froze from my having to clear away the snow on stand before stepping onto it...tracks Every where...and a set of one I kicked up out of the gully on the way in...no deer in farm feilds...well unless in the corn or pines the corn is lining :dontknow: ..They hit the apples hard and pulled a card big doe and fawn and one spike with long beams...all midnight till 2am...5 beds in the area between plots..turnips hit hard...coffee and back out later

 

PS ....SZ turkey is still open for those single morning shots...unless you think they were rifles

coyotes... nothing but coyotes. 

 

Only deer I saw all weekend was hit by a car and was barely alive in the middle of the road as I was coming in this morning to park.  3 coyotes were all over the poor thing which died within minutes of my arrival. 

 

I headed about 10 miles away to my back up land and saw two small bucks searching and a decent sized 8 chasing doe in a field. 

 

Man it got cold and windy quick

      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!
