Live From the Stand / Woods 2014!

While pulling in the lane this morning, a nice buck was chasing a doe around my clover plot. I watched them for what seemed like 2 min. They were only 50 yards from me! Actually felt bad for the doe! Every time she looked at my car it was like she was thinking, "Can ya help me out here?" LOL

I'm hunting in a stand 75 yards from where this all happened. Its right next to a bedding area. Thought it was going to be an exciting morning, but I haven't heard or seen a deer yet!

Did see a coyote earlier. Lip squeeked it in. Its now piled up 30 yards away!!

I'm in a stand with no bow hanger. Hand was getting tired and remembered my harness has a "bow hanger" figure I'll check it out. Fiddle around with it. Decide I don't like it. Retrieving bow and look up to see a buck stop behind a bush looking at me through it at about 40 yds. Stared me down and took off.

Have furnace guy here so went out to a blind this morning not far away....kicked one up in the plot and then just as daylight broke I hear a soft purr yelp ...over my head and just behind blind...Yep managed to sit right under them...of course they saw me come in and fiddle around taking quiver off xbow and loading an arrow...first hen flys down and immedeately goes for the ridge behind me and calls all the others to follow...pulled card at another stand site on a slow stalk out and got 3 day pics out or a 175 pic since the 31st...pouring when I headed home...good thing, he was 45 mins early.....

 

Well the way my season has gone if I see the young  4pt  in pic with a shot....he's hitting the ground...I'm now one in the hand is better than two in the bush mode...absolutely a ton of tracks but not during the day...perfact storm...feed kill off..standing corn ...the knee injury ...a new guy ,,hhmmmm????..... and at least one camp "feeding" I am pretty sure.

Always carry one of these. You can wrap around a branch and just crimp the last inch in a V to hold the cam.

now that's cool! I'm going to EMS later. Also, rain running down your harness strap into your neck is one more reason I use a rock climbing harness

Didn't see anything yet again... started to rain so I decided to do some scouting and creep around. Found a nice spot for a stand with rubs and scrapes right near it so I went home gathered a stand and hung it in the rain. Feels like a nice spot but I'm starting to see a rise in yote travel through that timber. Since the yote travel I've seen a decrease in deer on tc and movement in general. Now that's not something I've had to deal with on the island. Can anyone confirm my suspicions? ??

It's starting to make sense to me

      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!
