Hell at this point it's way harder to kill a deer with a gun than a bow , not due to implement but the fact that those of us who hunt public land have tom , dick, hArry, n anyone else u forgot to mention trompin all over the place , talkin to each other like there in the dam coffee shop, n I consider my season over after opening day of gun ....

youre not kidding, after opening weekend in my experience a buck is a miracle. I have exactly one buck taken after opening weekend in 19 years, a decent 8 on December 9th. I have no disdain for gun hunting, I love it but it's tough sledding

Sat for 4 hours this morn and did one small drive no luck. Did kick out a yote my bro missed. Ate turkey and decided not to hit last watch. Go Eagles!

Oh and gun season is way more challenging to see a deer and after opening day almost impossible to see a good buck.

For those gun hunters getting discouraged ,guy on the farm just had 5 bucks come out into field,he shot the biggest one, dropped in its tracks.

While waiting for his hunting partner a bigger one came out and stood over his dead one .

6 bucks mid day late in the season in a wide open field.

It's not over until you quit,keep hunting!

froze tonight...but I did have deer come in during legal hours...4pm 3 come running in...had to glass them to make sure...yep, two big buttons and a doe fawn ...they run under the stand.... then she stood 10yrds away and allowed the biggest button mount and breed her...that was a first...I've never seen to fawns breed before...and it wasn't a young hop up and leave, he bred her...they all then went a bit further up on the ridge and bedded down 50yrds away...I was hoping by 4:38 a mom or bigger buck would come in seeing she is in a first cycle...nope...at 4:30 they got up and came back down the hill headed for the swamps....

      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!
