Back from camp. No deer down but a couple sightings between 4 of us. Got lucky this morning on our way back to camp around 1130 we walked up on a group of turkeys making their way down the edge of the pond. Wind was blowing like crazy which must be why they didn't see us. We spotted a long beard in the group and I was able to get a shot off. Of course when shot he flopped around in the mud and went farther out into the mud flat. Almost couldn't get him out of there the mud was so deep and sucked ya right in, I almost lost a boot! Lol. It was a good day to be walking around the dacks.

Yea in 3n you can use a .22 rimfire at least in the public lands  I hunt there I see guys with .22 all the time  but definitely not during regular gun seasons in putnam its shotgun only for deer . That means you can only use a shotgun during regular  deer season there . 


You want to start this again? Come on man, give it a break.

Turkey wasn't the intended target of the day. But after a few miles of up and down steep hills I was ready to put something down. We were literally 80 yards from the camp and came upon the turkeys. Popped a turkey load in real quick and put him down. He will be a tasty addition to thanksgiving dinner.

Yesterday was a bust and I don't understand why. I know a spot on public land that has historically had deer come by when I'm in stand more than half the time. So I sat a guy there. I then went to another spot which is pretty much textbook of where you should go (and last year I took a deer from it). We sat for a few hours and saw nothing. We then just wanted to make sure the local deer population hadn't all flown away, so we walked around a perfect bedding area, packed to the brim with trails (and scat), all in and through it and didn't even kick one up.

I know deer move more with the wind, according to studies, but my only explanation is that the wind completely messed them up yesterday for me and changed their patterns entirely.

Of course, I saw a bunch on the side of the road last night driving the kids around.

Finally made it to my favorite spot. Never killed a deer here but I know I will eventually. Wind is good not great but decent enough for today. I'll keep some doe pee and tarsal in the air....put some evercalm out around me too. Good luck guys I am in for all day sit (late as usual lol)

BTW I set up facing this way hoping they come in behind me (bedding area)

What a beautiful morning. Kicking off my week of vacation here in my field corner stand. Had a doe and a yearling come by about a hour ago. I took some time to check out the younger one to make sure it wasn't a fawn and by the time I was sure I could take the older doe I lost my shot opportunity. Watched them slowly graze across the field away from me for the last hour.

Will most likely get out around 9 and head back in around 12 to a different stand. Good luck today everyone

Freaking worked last night twice, I'm not superstitious but will be carrying them the rest of the season.

I sat 10 hours yesterday, between two of my best set up's. And saw Zip, Nadda, Nothing! And to add an insult, there were two fresh scrapes made on the way out, that were not there on the way in! We have deer on the property, and a bunch of bucks on trail cam. So lack of deer is not the problem. But my luck so far this year has been terrible!!!! Well now I know why! I was going to pick up a bag of Fireballs last week, and didn't. This coming weekend I have three days to hunt. And I can assure you that my pockets will be lined with Fireballs! At this point, I need anything to swing some luck back into my corner!

      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!
