Trying something new and out of the box this afternoon... There is no where to hang a stand by the apples here and the deer have been hitting them hard the past few afternoons i set up in the garage 25 yards away. Using shadows and the ranger to keep me hidden if something comes I'll draw re position then shoot I hope it works

Did you remember the gas and oil cover spray!

You could set up between bedding area and the apples

Geno it's tough going out there. I love this thread though and if it weren't for other people letting us know what they're seeing I would've thought all deer migrated south for the winter

Lol I hear ya... very tough season for me so far. Just moved upstate, hunting new ground I never hunted before in an AG district. Another new for me. It's a learning curve and it's what I love about this sport. It can happen anytime but boy is sitting everyday and not even seeing a deer disappointing.

Very unusual for me here in 4h. Have seen deer almost every day. Saw nine this morning, six doe and three bucks. Almost had thirty yard shot with crossbow at a mature eight point I've been seeing. But he just didn't give me the angle I wanted and had to let him walk, this time. The bucks are all just cruising and not really chasing, but that will change any day now. Hang in there everyone! It can happen at any time now, so keep alert and be ready! Good luck to all!

Agreed all the bucks I saw today were just cruising and no real chasing. Although my wife texted me there was a huge buck in our yrd chasing 3 doe around. Always takes some wind out of the sails when I should have been hunting out back yet I was at my other spot. Dang it all.

You must remember we are a group that is very passionate about our sport and when we think someone is disrespecting the game we will let them know. If that is what it took to get you steered in the right direction then well done. I hope it was just a greenhorn moment and a learning experience.

Ya I understand that and I would fall into that same category as you guys. I just happened to make a mistake I thought I wouldn't make but unfortunately I had a lapse of judgment. I also did word it very weird but I only had 3 hours of sleep that night so I was kind of loopy by the time I was home.

In 8R I saw bucks cruising two and three weeks ago. This past weekend, NOTHING. In 9P the trail cam tells me they are chasing. It looks like I've failed in my goal to get one during early bow season. But I succeeded in seeing many more deer than last bow season! So that's progress. Off to a conference for the week. Perhaps I will find time for one more sit next Friday. Till then I live vicariously through the updates here!

Some people need to learn how to hunt. I set up just off a field in the morning and take the long way around to keep from kicking them out of a field. Doesn't some moron troop right through the middle of it and start heading right for me. I flashed him to get him to turn around. You hunt the travel corridor in the morning because they are in the field. You hunt the fields at night!!!!

Morning hunt blown. Probably some xbow noob

      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!
