I went out to Letchworth today i haven't hunted there in a couple of years as soon as we get there the park gate at the castle entrance is closed so we dive to a farm and went down into the park spent 5 hrs stalking with a friend and seen one deer in the distance then we dive to the east side of tge park and I started to slowly push the thick swamp toward my friend I made it 30 yards and hard a deer jump up I yelled to him thst it was coming to him he got a 5pt buck at 25yards and dropped in its tracks. A very fun and succeed day

Nice..We were down for 4 more over the long weekend..Makes it tough when the park is closed but if you know the Reservation Roads they will take you to different spots where the park comes up and meets parking spots so you can walk down in. We had a great time down at the Gordo Overlook. 2 of them came out in pieces and make the pull back with the sled a much better time.

 Not a hunt for the faint at heart or one that cant walk a distance.

I love going into the park when the roads are closed you pretty much end up with the entire park to yourself but you better put on your hiking boots because you're gonna end up walking probably 7 plus miles and if your dragging something out you'll feel the back burn lol. I was in the st Helena river bottom for a few hrs yesterday I heard some shots coming from the Gordo direction between 9-10

Thats funny because we were down there also later in the day. I saw tracks in the snow down there at the bottom of Helena., Maybe your tracks?  You must have went down the gravel road because i went down Trail 13 i believe it is and pushed the hill and the bottom to a buddy. Pushed all the deer off the hill down to the pie shape piece and then drove 4 small flatheads out to him. 

 

Is that your ladder stand down there in the pie shape piece next to the river?

Lol that's exactly where I was walking I stalked threw there we usually push that but there was only 2 of us . Naw that's not my stand but I seen it it was probably about a 12' ladder stand and in the middle of thst pie shape there was a hang on stand. We use to push that with a bunch of guys a few times a year I love doing drives down there I got my biggest deer out of thst pie shape

4 years ago opening day of gun 11 deer taking off our property in one day, neighbor is an anti hunter and put up a fence between are property. Since they did that we have taken only 2 deer in the last 3 seasons. I don't even see a deer anymore. No idea why they would put up a fence we don't trespass on their land ever. Nothing we can do to get the deer to come back

That had to be a bummer. I've hunted both sides near the river just north of that area. It's very peaceful but have yet to get a crack at one of the smart old bucks.

Had a big buck come running in from a wide open alfalfa field. He was moving a good clip and I had no chance to line up on him. I though their was movement in a thicker spot in the woods, but just a flash. He definitely heading to that area.  One of the biggest bodied deer I 've seen since 2000. Rack was nice, about 140 ish.

      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!
