Yea about 15 years ago was comming back to the car with my bow during fall turkey season I think actually cant even remember but the dec pulls up as I'm leaving public land parking lot putting the bow away in the truck and he noticed that I had  shotgun  cased  also in the truck and the guy made a big deal about that I had both of them in  the trunk with me then he asked if I had any slugs on me I said know  only number 6shot and turkey loads   and I even told him he could search the car and me to look . long story short I didn't  have any slugs in the car and he told me just make sure you never have them both  a  bow aND a  shotgun with slugs on you  even if its in  case. Because  we may think you using the shotgun for deer in bow season or something like that .  I just never keep both in the truck after that experience.  

Some guys are just PIA's....You mean to tell me you couldn't go sit in a tree with your bow until 10am....walk back to your truck and swap your bow for your shotgun and small game hunt till 3...Then walk back and swap and sit in your stand until dark....What law would you be breaking...There are a lot of good DEC officers out there and then some just like to bust balls...

That's basically what I wanted  to do bUT this    DEC  guy was giving me hard time about it  for some reason that day .

I just did not want to argue with the guy.

Just said ok  and he left me alone .

LOL....on really cold hunts I have a camel pack I fill with hot tea,and wear under my layers...it cushions my back against the tree,keeps me warm inside and out as I sip on it....can't put tea in too hot ,but just warm enough.

That is a really good idea...I might steal that...

So guys what a morning.

Live from home now. 9ish am I noticed a doe walking down the path right to me. I stood up and heard something drop outta tree. Figured was one of my antlers for rattling. Anyway doe didn't even flinch walked right down the path 20 yards in front of me I whistled she stopped and arrow shot true. She took 2 steps and dropped. Awesome I'm pumped filling tags with the new bow. Go to get my phone and text dad and wife....no phone. Looked down and there it is at base of tree. No biggie so I get down to get phone and process deer. Pick up phone screen is broke buttons won't work nothing works. Now I'm p^&%*$*... so I gut her get back to truck and drop of to processor on way to phone place 100 bucks and few hrs later I have a new screen and phones working. No pics obviously. Glad I got a deer but she cost me big time lol...

Congrats Stones on getting it done. That bow seems to knock them down better than a gun.

      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!
