I've been for following this story for the last few days.  Awesome job Papist!  

 

Spent 9 hours in the woods yesterday.  Had a small basket 6 come through in the morning and a button buck come in at last light.  There is an absolute BRUISER around that i've been after for the last 3 seasons!  Hoping that he slips up this weekend!

Papist...I'm a licensed tracking dog handler down in 9k. I've tracked many deer over the years. I have never once met anyone who put the effort you did into finding that deer. We can all learn from you dedication to that animal. the shot placement look just fine. That was one tough deer.

Papist   Good shot, Good tracking job, and a real nice mature deer. You put the effort in that a lot do not,  or would not consider. Your effort is what bow hunting is all about and I applaud your. diligence. From the bowhunters creed

"I will use legal archery equipment and will search long and diligently to track down and recover any wounded game.
I will not undertake or commit any act that could be considered as detrimental to the ancient and honorable art of bowhunting"

Dripping sweat in 3n. Leaves super crunchy. I can hear tree rats everywhere. Not best day to be out but needed to check a cam at this location so figured it couldn't hurt to bring climber since I was gonna be here anyway

Hoping Sat - Mon will be good in 3N with much cooler temps.

Here is the old girl that did the damage. It's a Darton, maybe a Marauder, Maybe a Maverick. Quite old, and I am the 3rd owner. She is accurate and deathly quiet. Not like a lot of twangy new bows I hear on the TV shows.

As I was heading to the car, carrying the head, I passed a hunter in his stand. He said he had deer on camera that made mine look like a baby. Sadly they were always nocturnal. There are big deer in WNY

Im just curious how many yards did this deer go? That shot is a kill shot for sure and the trajectory looks flat almost no angle, the broken arrow is from the leg coming back pretty common,, that deer shouldn't of gone more than 200 yards with a hole straight though the bred basket.. 

Glad you got him just saying ,, beautiful rack ..

He said that while you're carrying your buck? I'd have taken his ladder. "Really? Have you got a spare ladder on your camera too??"

Hope you're right, Grow. I might try to fill a doe tag this afternoon down in 4J, and tomorrow morning's wind looks prime to hunt a scrape line up here in 4L.

Good luck out there...

$25 from Best Buy. My mom bought one for my wife.  If you lose keys you have ap on phone to ring the thingy on keychain.  If you lose phone you can press the thingy on keychain to ring phone ( even if it's on silent ) . Lose both , have ap on your tablet or such. I have ap on my phone in case she loses both lol. 

And good luck to anyone hunting today. Soggy day here in 9F

      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!
