Absolutely. I like mixing it up a bit. Keeps hunting season fun and interesting.

My buddy's camp is mostly a fishing camp but there's a small patch of state land that borders him that should hold a couple deer. I've never hunted it or even walked it. A nice dinner and some cold beers Saturday night and a nice walk around the woods Sunday with some good guys sums up a good day in my book.

Come Monday morning it's game time though behind my house. I've given them a week off with zero pressure. Cold front moving in Sunday should really get them up and moving next week. One can only hope at least!

If it's gonna rain you get in that stand. I got up early enough last year to get in for an afternoon hunt but it was pouring and I passed out and took a nap. Because of That I went and got a good rain gear set. Won't let this happen to me again. Hopefully I loaded video correctly.

It was a quiet walk in and very very bright...I think I have deer bedded in the hemp plot and they were moving off quietly as I approached the road. I had a mouse visit me in the blind for a bit...squirrel climb the mulberry cam tree and crows drive me near mad with their racket...NOTHING else. I'm thinking I need to say I'm only deer hunting to have the turkeys show back updefault_mda.gifStill not a bad sit..That blind could be a great rifle spot. Should have thought to put a enclosed blind there years ago....

It sprinkled a few times at day break and the temps are much cooler...The rain last night kept the cams quiet but there were still some activity,no bucks. Perhaps this will be a no buck year for me...The next several days of rain isn't helping my out look at all....Though admittedly...I haven't hunted nearly as much as I normally do,between weather and The whole stomach thing. I'm also super surprised that they have not touched the turnips...and we've had several frosts...though they have been chewing and stomping on the pumpkins and the weeds and hemp protected the beans in that plot....The clovers and the wht. tail institute chicory plus are getting mowed to the ground.

Nothing has touched my brassicas yet either. For the small patch I put in there's a decent little stand of them. Some nice bulbs pushing up out of the ground too.

I have a small plot of that Fusion blend from WI. Clover/chic mix. And it's also getting mowed right to the ground. I think I'll be planting a lot more of that next year. My deer seem to really enjoy clover.

Well didn't come home with nothing but at least I saw some game had a small doe run by my watch at about 75 yrds she wasn't wasting any time and saw the rear end of another about 200 yrds out couldn't tell if it were buck or doe, also has a porcupine waddle by at 50 yards,makes my night just to see some critters.

Well  nadda tonight..save one yearling doe and she stayed just beyond my comfort zone...then at close I heard bucks fighting on the ridge below me. I also had turkey talking on that ridge. I have a blind there but no stand...May need to hook the climber up down there. It was a gorgeous night very little wind and jus t the right temps...cold now though.

Well its a wrap for me till next weekend still haven't seen a deer this young season so far. I'm off to Colorado in the morning to hopefully bag an elk third trip out there hunting with no success. But it really doesn't matter with the scenery that comes with it. Will miss reading your guys updates for a week but it will give me something to do on the layover on the way home. Good luck to all.

Friends dads elk from CO . Public land. I know nothing of elk but think this is a good one. Had elk a few times to eat. Best wild game ever IMO. Good luck to you out there.

Thanks. Any elk is a good elk in my eyes. I will also be hunting public land. The ranchers up there charge like 3k per hunter to hunt there land/ranches. Can't justify that....lol

Where about?When Mr B worked out there he'd go north of Denver and see them and sheep just hanging out along the side of the hills along the roads. We almost put an offer on a place where we'd have to give access to hunters through our property to public hunting..lots of Elk hunters...no public electric ..cute place but off grid. TG I refused to move. There's a restaurant near Coor' s brewery that served Elk medallions in a raspberry reduction..OMG best meal I ever ate.

It is funny how things vary place to place...   my brassica and turnips are getting hammered...   I had a nice 8 point in one of my plots about 70 yards from me last Saturday and I could hear him crunching the bulbs from my stand..

Was driving in fairport just now and saw a deer laying in somebody's yard off the street. Walked up to it and turns out it has a broken leg, so now a DEC officer has been dispatched. Watching it now just laying there 60 yards away it can't move. Wondering what the dec response time will be. At least I saw it so it wouldn't have to lay here for God knows how long.

They won't until the 1st heavy frost turns the greens to a brown color, the sugars get trapped in the leaves and are quite sweet to the deer. It is an awesome late season plot if there isn't better forage in the area. They will eat it throughout the winter.

      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!
