You guys n gals who've been hunting mornings. What's the ideal time to be cocked , locked and ready to roll in the morning ? Trying to figure out hour drive time with Timmys on the way. Thanks in advance . Sitting by 6:30? 
Sunrise depends on your area (last page of ny dec 2016 guide). If it says 6:55 for example it is actually quite bright then. You could get in a bit before that and set up without having to set up in the pitch black.

My weather app tells me first light is at 6:32 Am. If I could make it out in the woods tomorrow morning I'd be all settled in and quiet by 545. I usually try and time it so that I have at least 45 mins of quiet time in the stand before first light. I like that time, nice and peaceful and gives the woods time to settle down if I made too much noise getting in.

Saw a biiiiig doe on the sit this afternoon. Must have been an old dry girl,all by herself. She didn't come closer than 36 yds and was pretty alert the whole time. Figured I am not that desperate yet. She eventually got downwind of me and snorted some,but then circled way around and ended up in the same spot as before. Kinda funny

And he's so drunk that he's taking pictures laying down by the fire

That's half the reason we go to camp isn't it? Lol.

I don't drink much at home, a beer or two now and then but I'll knock them down when we get up to camp. Away from the wife and kids and work...gotta let loose and unwind sometimes. Everyone needs those nights at camp.

      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!
