Well ran into a guy walking he says... I saw your stand was back where it was last year so we set up down "below". Below is 100 yards down the trail where the deer come from... wtf. They walk in the short way and bump all the deer. I walk in the long way so I don't jump them. Total ignorance.180 acres and they have to pull this crap.

Can't believe I just missed that 8 pointer, went and got my friend from his blind and we were walking back towards the house, 8 pt popped out of a thick field of thissle right into the edge of the woods, his ass was to me and I started to slowly move towards the ground to go prone when two does came out behind him I froze as he turned broadside, I didn't want to spoke him so still standing I raised my gun out the cross hairs on his vitals and pulled the trigger, he jumped took two steps and stopped I chambered another round and hit the floor, just as I did the does spooked and they all ran, followed their tracks through the snow for 100 yards no blood nothing, did have a clean shot again at one of the does but didn't take it...... No 3h doe tags....... Great morning and exciting first hunt for my friend.

Had 3 doe and a button buck come as close as 20' from the popup blind this morning.Even wearing an orange hat I did not get busted. Little chilley for this old man, 21 degrees with NW winds gusting to 20mph. Not much shooting going on around here seeing that it is opening day for gun.

Grow.Did you get a Flew Shot yet ?.

Why would an orange hat get your busted anyway?

My dad and I are sitting 20 yards apart overlooking separate valleys. I'm reading my dads lips right now. He sees a doe bedded sleeping 150 yds away. Wind in our favor, too bad not a buck. Would be an easy stalk. Hopefully finally some action tonight

      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!
