I have a tree stand 325 yards from my house. Have set in it four or five times and not seen a thing. 25 mph winds, rain, & fog. Look out across the field and see a doe and a big bodied four point @ 8:45. The four point walks to within 15-20 yards of my tree stand.  They didn't stay out long before ducking back into the cedars. I thought they might be moving this afternoon but as usual....in the wrong place at the wrong time!!

Will do...

So Mr B said he checked the couch...well we keep a cover on the couch because Angel likes to sneak up on it at night or when we are gone..she sheds a whole dog every day I swear to it!...She is also very particular about her snacks...She doesn't like when we run out and she is given the boys Milk bones...I find them tucked away everyplace...and it's a hoot when our daughter visits with her chocolate lab mix...She spends an hour on search and recovery..Anyways I checked the couch..I took everything off then stepped down on springs and reached into couch. Really!! It has a cover and several pillows on it.....I found another after this picture!...lol looks like I need to vacuum couch more than once a week.

I am taking the chance with the rain here to stack my leftover firewood in my basement close to the furnace,then it is high time to fill the basement with new firewood to get me through the winter. If the rain lets up this afternoon I will have to go and sit by a scrape line somewhere. Somebody will be out to freshen it I am sure.

Hoping to do an all day sit tomorrow,I want to see the slob I have some nighttime pics of in the daylight...

NEED TO STAY FOCUSED ONE MORE DAY!  Good luck out there folks. 


2 for me, till Saturday. All I'm thinking about is a nice buck coming from my left or my right, where does he run after the xbow blows thru him, etc.

Grow, I once lost my car keys on a sandy beach on the island of Malta. The wind was whipping up everything into dunes. Once I realized the keys were lost I asked my Angel to help me locate 'em. It was a rental. So, for some reason I was inspired to look where I looked and I just came across the red colored tip of the plastic key-chain poking out, just before the whole thing was about to covered in sand dune by the wind. 1 or 2 more minutes would have been too late.

So here is the stand setup where the whole adventure began. It was designed to hunt the far side of the tree, where a large community scrape is situated. But all the action happened on the open side. I felt very naked at the time, but deer hormones blinded my Buck to everything but the doe.

I had almost hinge cut a couple of trees to give me forward cover. Had I done this, I would not have had a shot.

Used the rainy morning as an opportunity to get all the camo washed (again!). Pot of chicken stock brewing on the stove too. That'll hit the spot after those long cold days on stand!

Im doing a total reset today too. Three solid days in a stand starting tomorrow. The season starts...NOW!

      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!
