For you guys hunting the ADKs  noticed most seem to camp out any reason why is it just for the thrill of it or to be closer to your hunting spot or do  hotels just suck up there 

1) You are hunting once you exit the camp grounds, I love that!  Eliminate the 1 hour drive to get into the woods. 

2) Smell of a wood burning fire, really REALLY good food!  Great food!  Did I mention the food is awesome! 

3) No driving needed to go and hunt.  Just grab a gun and go.

4) Hotels are not bad but you have to look around to find the right one.  Hotels mean I have to wait for the other hunters to eat breakfast before we head out to the woods, not so at camp.  In other words no waiting for anyone to get out or wake up!

5) Camping is fun!

6) I don't usually see the DEC officer but he or she usually stops in to check us out.  When I do see them I usually have a few questions and they are very informed and knowledgeable.

These are just a few advantages I could go on and on but that's enough for this post.

Looks like a good spot.

It is Dez, I've gotten a few over the years in this area of the property out my climber. I opted on moving my double out of the orchard and I built (building) a tree shed to replace it in the orchard.
The double was purchased so I have a spot to sit with my kids and we tend to have more sightings in the hardwoods. I'm about yards into them with bedding in front and to the left.
I'm in an old hickory three, hence the new name of the stand "The Hickory Stick".

PFFFT! Says you! For the most part my phone stays in my pocket, I'm deer hunting, not surfing the web.

C'mon Rob! turn that phone around and snap a selfie with a big buck behind you! You guys who hide in treestands have no excuses for not getting pics!

Is it really good food or are we just so hungry after hiking the miles we walk up here that it tastes good? My wife always makes me a big pot of goulash to bring up and I hate goulash but after hunting all day and it warming up on the wood stove it is delicious!

I don't hunt from a tree stand. I am either in a blind I made with already down wood and brush, behind a camo burlap cloth, or starting a few days a pop up blind which may offer an opportunity to use my phone. I might snap a pic or two, but my phone is the last thing on my mind when I am hunting. So :cheese: ! LOL

So I found a bunch of litter from the father and son trespass team that came to hunt my gas-line on the youth weekend. Decided to print a still from the trail cam vid, and I will be making a mailbox deposit of litter and printed cam pic  this evening.

That sucks but love your idea. Subtle but to the point . Sucks he's teaching his son to be a slob hunter . I go to wash my daughters camo and find tissues , Fireball wrappers , granola bar wrappers etc.in her pockets. Don't think the thought of her leaving crap in the woods has ever entered her mind.

I sat a while today, but was not dressed for the relentless rain. I have also started making hinge cut buck n doe bedrooms. Be interesting to see if they bring in the guests after bow season. All I have is one small local resident Buck right now that I do not want to shoot. 

Need to scout and hunt my neighbors more and give my woods a big long break too. I'm hoping the gunners push deer over later.

Good news today also. My above neighbor who allows me sole access to his 20 acres is not moving! I have a couple new stands I need to buy and move back up there!

      Gun Hunt in 3G, 3F, 3N Help
      By Raul2145
      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!

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      Any good spots within an hour of New Paltz?
      By Toth9050
      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

      Rocky Point
      By Raul2145
      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!
