Just at light I got busted by a fawn bedded under my stand....I never saw or heard it come in...on the way in I spooked deer in the apples...The toms gobbled and acrossed the Gully and down the ridge I heard a flock of turkey feeding.  in early..too much to do before the frost hits...back out this afternoon. Good Luck out there

PS..... two gun shots at first light and last post...that was quite not quiet...

Just finished dragging@chefhunter86 deer to the trail. He can give story and pictures for his deer.

After he shot his deer the 2 remaining deer came running down the creek bed and turned up towards my stand. When I saw them coming i got ready. I thought they had ran away but I just waited and watched. Then all of a sudden one of them appeared to my left out of the brush. And it stopped , waited, looked in my direction. Continued to wait. Finally started walking broadside in diagonal towards the creek giving me a great shot..... Perfect.
I pulled back, aimed, waited for the right moment and released. ...... the two deer ran away. Shit.... I shot high

However we won't go home hungry

Just heard the first gun shot of the day over towards Bristol.
I chatted briefly at the road this morning with a guy and his young son heading in with bows. Told him where I was going so I didn't mess up their hunt.
Can't wait til my boy is old enough!

At first light I hadn't been on stand(ground) more than 4 minutes and pretty sure I was getting huffed at by a bear about 80yds away. Never saw it. Nothing since.

 

I had a bear this morning walking around camp before light. Kinda put me on edge walking to my stand in the dark.

Sad state of affairs, can't even see a deer. I can tell my son is a bit discouraged but toughing it out. Been in stand over 10 hours since yesterday morning. Well he's learning it ain't a given and as long as I pack enough food and hot chocolate he is good!

He made a small noise and I whispered shh you'll scare all the deer away. He cracks up yea all of them! As we both feel there has not been a deer within a mile of us in 2 days!

We need a change of scenery for evening watch

      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!
