Live From the Stand / Woods 2014!

Well just got back from my first sit of the year! I saw 23 doe and one 5 point buck. Most were out of range but 3 doe came in at 12 yards which is exactly where I wanted them. I went to shoot but when I pulled back my peep had turned and I couldn't see a thing out of it. I think the d loop moved or the string re-stretched, but in all honesty I have no clue. Ill be headed to the pro shop Tuesday to hopefully see what the problem is. I've never had this happen to me so i'm flying blind.

My buddy had same issue last year. D loop spun and when he hooked his release to it, the string rotated the wrong way preventing him from being able to look through the hole in the peep sight. Try twisting the loop, or the string and try it again during practice. May save you a trip to pro shop. Good luck.

Had 2 doe about a week ago only about 90 lbs a piece. Gave them a pass. Had 2 deer come in before first light. One sounded like a heavy hoofed buck the other was a doe munching acorns under my stand for 20 mins before she caught my scent and busted out.

Well I blew it. Doe cam in to my right. First I didn't think she would give me a shot. The cam back the other direction. Was headed right in front of my stand 10 yards. Then changed her mind and circled back around behind. 15 yards broadside around the back of the tree. Not making any excuses. Was a steep angle. Don't know if I dropped my bow arm or just aimed low but shot low. She bounded off 15 yards and stopped. I slipped back behind the tree and knocked another but no other shot. She slowly circled back around me and left the way she came like nothing happened. Arrow impaled 18 inches deep in the dirt. White hair everywhere. I did find quite a bit of blood but none on the arrrow. Looks like I grazed her. Being that she didn't look in any distress I'm gonna say she was ok.

Jesse...you always want to follow up on shots like that...little blood but then the guts fall out...I say this because I have put down 2 and saw a real nice buck passing through our place draging intestines as he went....Better luck next time...geez I wish I was seeing more doe..I know they are out there....

You shot Rue Paul!?  Congrats on the deer .

A couple of years ago during ML season I see a deer coming thru some low hanging branches, snow piles on its head. Nice doe I say, squeeze off the smoke pole. DRT  Flip it over to field dress it. I shout out " this doe has balls !" lol   Dang buck lost his horns already.

      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!
