I found my doe. Shot was a little far back and went through both sides of the rib cage but didn't go through the hide on exit side. Bounced around inside her and tore everything up. She made it across the field and about 30-40 yards into the woods before piling up. 

Shes already been hung and butchered. Aging her in the fridge now. Should be mighty fine eatin!!

Forums wouldn't let me post earlier, but I counted 13 doe today, 3-4 at a time, so they may be the same deer walking around busting me over, and over, again. Probably busted at least three times today. The ground hunting struggle is real folks!

Every year I tell myself that I'm not hunting much early and I hear i sit sweating in my stand with no intentions of shooting a deer once so ever.

Didnt have reception on the mountain, but here was my view on mountain top this past weekend ,
over looking new food plot. Saw 4 does saturday,  took shot at one she ducked and went just barely over her back. Sunday morning saw a 4 and 6 pointer traveling together, they were close but on full alert and presented no shot. Good weekend all in all.20161002_192906.jpg

I was in the "Tapatalk Trouble" camp last evening.

I had hightailed it back from Cambridge, MA, and made it into the stand by 3 pm. About 10 mins after legal light, I started to pack up, and a lone doe walked in, delaying my walk out by about 30 mins. She took her time chomping on those acorns.

She was the only deer I saw yesterday.

Last night over the murder plot. Chasing any deer she wants to shoot, just hoping it to be the patterned 3.5 yr old. But whatever she wants to shoot, doesn't bother me one bit. Had 4 longbeards eat in clover in front of us, saw about 10 deer and she shot at a doe eating in the plot and just caught a couple hairs off her back. She's still pumped.

Getting her a deer is my main priority this fall, I'll take the back seat. And hunt for the big boys when she can't.

I didn't know you could max out the amount of likes!!?? lol  Learn something new everyday lol Thank you though. Shes pumped, has been 3 years since she has harvested a deer, got a doe with her bow then, and a doe with gun the year before. She really wants a buck, especially with her bow. she don't care much for gun..

What a great! morning!...I still can't believe how blk. out it is..again had to use my lamp...I got to one of the oak flat stands with a N/W possible breeze...though hardly anything...never spooked a deer but 30 mins. in I hear some sparing farther up the ridge and SW of me. It as difficult to make out at first because it was literally raining acorns and they were hitting every branch on the way down. Then Oh my! the squirrels woke up and I swear they were up there dumping buckets. As it got light I was having a hard time seeing the deer feeding just 10yrds away they all blended into the oak leaf ground cover and the tree leafs kept the woods dark even at 9:40 when I left..I had a 5 point(pic below) chasing doe all around and then another bigger buck came in and they had a tussle...30 yards from me..I looked like the wide 6 but I couldn't tell they were behind other oaks..then a doe and fawn came in across the ridge above me ...they wanted nothing to do with the bucks and stayed on the high side...Then another fight broke out behind me and I heard what sounded like a horse cough...not sure if it was a snort wheeze but what ever made it had a very baritone deep vocal...They never showed...the other two meandered off to my west sparing away...Everyone was off to bed by 9:30 and it was starting to get misty out so I snuck out undetected...Wow nothing dull about this morning...grabbed upper cams...made rt. decision for all the doe showed up at 5:31 under the apple tree stand...which is when I was at the end of the drive deciding where to go...the buck in pic was the one fighting with another( big6?)and chasing doe this morning...

      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!
