You also need to consider how warm it has been..   movement has been limited by the temperatures..    People often forget that it wasn't that long ago that the season never opened until 10/15...


Wish it was 9/15 with Xbow like CT instead of 11/5

Stop being a Clinton! Buy a bow and stop disrupting this thread Pedro! Mexico it south bro! 


No point. Xbow will be legal sooner or later. Then I'll shoot one of these bucks that walk around each year middle of the day all October.

I didn't make it out today. Wife had some things to do late this afternoon so I had the boys. But I did manage to get a new stand hung this morning when I got home from work. I'm not sure how good it's gonna be but I'm gonna give it a try. Small slice of land on the opposite side of the road shaped like a pizza slice and runs about 300 yards along the road. And maybe 150 yards deep into the woods at the corner. It's mostly oaks that are dropping acorns like crazy and there's sign of deer being in there all over the place. There are a couple nice hemlock trees mixed in there so I put a stand up in one of them for cover since the oaks and have zero cover at 20 ft.

Also put a camera in there to see what's going on. Two nice trails crossing the property that look to be getting a lot of traffic. Need to go back in tomorrow with the pole saw and trim just a couple branches in the stand and see what happens.

Only thing that sucks is that it's close to the road. It's maybe 200 ft. And about eye level once in the stand. Another reason I wanted to be in the hemlocks. My road is a country road so at least it doesn't get much traffic. I did have what appeared to be two yearling does walk up to about 80 yards from me when I was standing out there looking for a tree. They must of caught me moving and got alarmed but didn't spook once I stood still. They eventually changed direction a bit and continued on their way. But they were headed my way originally. This was around 9am.

Never been to Boston so this might be a stupid question but what the hell is a uber?

Man you must be deep in the sticks and live a sheltered life...lol...an uber is similar to what most call a taxi/car service.

In my opinion this time of year is the best to target a buck. Still on summer feed patterns. Which will end very soon. Until late season the patterns will subside. Out of the bucks I have patterned now, nothing is really making me want to get out there. My wife can fill the freezer. If she doesn't than I will.

      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!
