I had the exact same reaction..  I always learned to handle a firearm as if it was loaded and always know where the barrel is pointed...   There is time for both safety and celebration....

Barb your right no excuses I take full responsibility excited or not unloaded or not there was no way that gun barrel should have been pointed anywhere close to him and as a mentor I feel embarrassed that I allowed that to happen you can never forget the basic laws of gun safety.I will be calling him up tomorrow to go over what we did wrong, I apologize to any one I have affended and I will do everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Congrats on the doe ADK.  She should be fine hanging overnight and tomorrow if the temp stays under 50.   I cut up a doe on Friday that had hung since last Sunday (the temps were in the mid 30's to mid 40's the whole time).  My daughter and I had the tenderloins for lunch yesterday and they were about the most tender I can remember.   The week prior, I took a doe up north in the really warm conditions, and I dropped her off at the processors in Lowville.   It was nearly 80 then so I had few other options but to let them skin it and get it into their cooler right away.    

Miller's? Love the jerky and Watson burger

Got out of work at 7 last night spent an hr with my daughter before tucking her in bed. Packed for camp left home around 11 got here at 1:30 slept until 3:30 hiked up on top, now I'm sitting on top of a mountain waiting for daylight so I can start still hunting. Beautiful cool crisp morning.

Just had the hunt of my life. Full story later. I don't have hands on bone yet. Buck is bleeding out but still alive. Nervous! I bumped him a little while tracking, but he didn't go far. He is big! Stinking up the whole woods. Shot looked good, buried up to the fletchings but it seems I did not get both lungs. 35 yard shot or so. My furthest.

He came in after the mature Doe I had an encounter with a few nights ago. This is why I like to not shoot Doe, they are the best Buck lure ever! 

Blood looked decent but I am soooo nervous right now. He went into the neighbors but they said it was OK to go after him. Back for rope, coffee and deer cart right now. Shaking!

Don't forget the toilet paper to mark the blood trail.

      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!
