Live From the Stand / Woods 2014!

Had this 6pt 30yds broadside for 20mins and decided to pass him.  He actually should have been an 8pt but his left side was messed up.  You can't see in the pic but his left side was just one long spike with a brow tine.  If he had all 8 points like he should have I would have taken him.... I might end up regretting it but I have better bucks on the property.  The problem is the rule says 6pt or better so the other guys will end up shooting him if they get the chance.

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.

I'm having this exact issue, let me know how much it costs and how big of a thing it is to fix

Flech and Jesse, I am not going to say I am old, however I and my old man were hunting over there long before Radison was even thought of,,,,,took many deer over in your neck of the woods, also miss the Pheasent hunting. I used to live on County Line rd between Pendergast and 48.

headed out...started to rain good...turned around it stopped <_< I refuse to give up...will wait until 4:30 or 5 and sneak out to new stand site if nothing else I can watch what they are doing from there...but twice I had deer go in and walk by that stand both early morning and late afternoon...

Man there spreadin lime all over should I still hunt the feild?

Did they leave any corn standing? I'd say hunt it (if the farmer isn't still spreading). The deer might hang back in the brush from the dusturbance, but they are curious by nature so at some point they will be out to investigate

If it was made by a buck he's probably a resident that is starting to scope out the local doe. He could only come through there every few days or it might be his nightly jaunt. You want a cam there!

There will likely be other scrapes popping up all around. Just keep in mind that a buck won't need to stick his nose in the scrape to check it. They can scent check from a ways downwind and this is how the smaller sattelite scrapes are created, they stand there trying to smell it and can't help pawing a new one!

Also, once the does start answering his calling card, he may likely bed downwind to hopefully catch the scent of a live hot doe passing through.

      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!
