Had a doe come in this eve... nothing else. Saw a total of 5 deer today including the spike. My sister inlaw texted me. She just got her second deer ever. Her first was last weekend! This summer she set up cams found her own spots and bought her rifle.... all on her own! She is addicted...

Nice evening sit last night, with some great encounters in the corn. Sunshine give way to cloudy skies which brought the deer in just after legal light. Five yearlings showed around 250 yards out feeding slowly out 80 or so rows. A nice 2 1/2 year old 8 point surfaced in the hedge row for a moment, then stepped out giving a nearly perfect bow shot. Several motherless doe fawns followed the buck then headed into the heavier loss of corn deeper in the field. A good size doe brought her two smaller fawns into the field just after 5. They nursed 60 yards to the right of me.

This am. was a bust in the corn, so I moved into the woods, downwind on a good deer run. A good size doe fawn ate her way across my shooting lane. The autumn olive leaves seem to be a good draw, at this point of the game. Not long after, a limping 6 point moved in following her. I could clearly see, he had been shot in the right front leg. Made a quick decision to not shoot him, as he was getting around rather fine. I watched them several minutes, with the doe going bush mellows started to bush nibbling off the green leaves with him following. Maybe he will yield his sheds close by, starting my shed hunting adventures earlier this year.Wind started blowing rather strong out of the south and hot chocolate started sounding good at this point. No harvests, but some super fine encounters for this time of the year.

On a side note, another Saturday with very few shots here. I don't know if the hunter numbers are down, or people are just not seeing the deer.

During bow saw deer but too far for bow good for gun. Now that I have a gun I won't see anything lol

   Same here couldn't get a deer within 40yds. during bow.  The other day ( before all the dam snow) I had 3 small bucks all within 15 yrds.  a spike , 4pt. & a 6 pt..  The 4 & 6 pt. were sparing.  cool to see up close.   Now with all the snow won't be able to get to  cabin or even walk in the woods!  65 yrs. old & 4 ft. of snow don't go together well/safe!

      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!
