Its been snowing steady big wet flakes here for the last hour or so.  Hoping to put some hours in tomorrow. I got a nice looking bear on the trail cam. Could be interesting.

Is this off of WL rd.? I had a close encounter over on KC rd. last year with a BIG bear! Good luck!

Alarm went off, heard the rain pouring on the roof, got up and checked wind and temp. Decided to spend the day with the g/f grocery shopping. :O ......... Did see 2 deer laying on the edge of one field, and three more milling in the rain in another. Also noticed the dead doe just up the road is still there. Would have thought DEC or local police would have gotten off the side of the road after two days.

Just because it's not high fence doesn't mean they count. LOL

Uneventful 4 hour sit this evening. I also wore the wrong muck boots and so had a wet foot the whole time. Pretty miserable, but I was determined to sit my neighbors till last light. I am giving my woods a break till the rut kicks in. No deer and no rubs of any serious nature. It is a weird season. I have a feeling I will not bag a bow Buck this year. No Buck sign to zero in on.

Well I went to were the turkey stood to back track arrow. What I found was my vetching..great,no feathers but it's wet, discolored though it has been used to kill deer. No arrow to be found so of I go looking for a wounded or dead turkey. Want to know what looks like a dead turkey in the fall woods? EVERYTHING! The whole time replying what happened...All they did was flutter and slowly move off. Is that how a bow shot turkey will act? I looked for an hour under every Bush and tree. Then went back and sat in the blind...I believe that because they got in so close I cleared the window and wire with the broad head but the flex in shot made the vetching catch the wire fencing ,ripping it off. Thus sending the arrow God only knows where.

Should have the birds on my cam...Will post tomorrow.

Going to hit a spot not hunted yet this year, in the morning. It's on a bench on a steep south facing slope. Over the years, when the NW wind is howling, I've seen a ton of deer here. And have taken a couple decent bucks too. I'm right on the lip of the bench, and will have shots above and below. Of course nothing above me will catch my scent and it tends to carry over anything within range, directly below me. Thats the plan anyways. We'll see how it plays out in the morning. Good luck to all heading out. And keep safe!

      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!
