that's why I enjoy hunting, nothing else gets ya as excited as that moment.

I'll tell you that is what makes bow hunting so hard...it's not the shooting part it's the suspense of watching and waiting for a shot to present itself ik that's what gets me gives me time to get excited and shaky I love it.......not like gun season when pretty much just wait for a deer to show and range isn't a real factor just need to stop for a few seconds....but I love still hunting with my shotgun....good luck ladies and gentlemen

Good luck tonight guys make sure them harnesses are on....

I can't agree enough with this. My father is old school and kinda laughs at me using a harness in all stands including ladder stands. I'd rather be safe then sorry. If anyone is in need of one let me know. I'll ship Em for free. Nothing fancy just the ones that come with my stands.

I got blown out of the woods today. No problem with bugs, they were no where's around. Unfortunately I can say the same thing about the deer. I think they were hugging the ground to keep from blowing away. If I go out in the wind, I probably should take a helmet with me. The acorns are trying to knock me out.

New guy here ..ex WNYer living in NH. Really enjoy hearing all the real time hunting updates! I been in stand going on 3 weeks now and have had a few chances on does but passed. Only one nice 6pt at 80yds for buck sightings. Acorns are plentiful here also and I believe that's is keeping deer movement stagnant my way. Nice night out here now in stand and still holding tough waiting out my buck. Good luck all!

Been in stand for around 40 minutes. Very noisy walked up on around 30 turkeys coming in. Nothing yet. Had a small 6 yesterday at 15 yards and a doe and fawn at 11. Gonna have to be a decent one in this heat to squeeze the release. Wind keeps changing direction, first perfect then awful. Time shall tell

      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!
