Getting bored :( I definitely need more locations to sit. Should have put time into pounding the pavement on local farms this year......

I'm sitting here looking at the pics posted by others comparing it to where I am..... I'm wondering if we should clear out all these small trees sub 6inches in diameter this spring.... It's pretty thick here.061fab3c80562f7a05c47b46e671b512.jpg

Buck is chasing momma stay on high alert buddy, good luck. Had a fawn do that last year just before my nice little 6 point came thru 10 minutes later.



Well... It's been quite a while, and nothing since. Could have been behind me a ways. Tough to hear with the wind and wet leaves.

So I'm back in ...It's cold wet and quiet out there we had rain on and off all night...I pushed something bedded under the hemp stand on the way in and got to the apple stand with the new scrape that opened up the other day... settled in and started hearing movement all around me...At light I saw the triplets under the stand I was in last night and they moved around to feed in front of me and inside the garden all morning . In the mean time I did some grunts and estrus bleats to go with scent I put out...I heard steps and cracks behind me to see 8 deer milling around on the property line ...The stand set was perfect for this wind  if,,,,,only they stayed with the script!...I've watched for two weeks them coming in to my north/East under that apple tree..that or directly across the clover plot and feeding this way...Doesn't the lead doe start down the incline walking from left to right of me ,right down wind. Then well of course it starts to gust right at that particular moment...All movement sounds stop...I cant stand and turn for I have fawns 5yrds in front of me.... her now 20yrds away, but her clan up higher and eye level with me ...No stomp or snort, just a huff and she slowly turned and walked back up to the property line...then they all hung out directly down wind of me browsing clover in the neighbors lane way for over a half hour.....waited as long as I could but had to come in for a bit...my stomach  was growling so loud that one of the fawns snapped it's head ears rotating and looked straight at me.....Gosh I had a bagel before coming out...Coffee, warm up a little(forgot seat pad),dang frozen butt syndrome set in :rolleyes:

these winds are killing me this year...I'm really getting discouraged...just do what they say your going to do...better yet STOP , just let it be calm for a few days...

I'm off today so sticking it out for a while. I have funeral and services this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon so two sits lost. The silly part is it's my wife's uncle who was a die hard hunter and woulda smacked his daughters for not arranging this around prime sits! Lol

Oh well. We are spreading his ashes by his favorite deer stand. I may have to bring the bow!! They borrowed 14 sets of antlers from me to make centerpieces at the reception. We also made a large venison stew as requested. Had some good times hunting together he was a super guy.

Sitting here collecting info and no one is seeing any roadkill, the big buck my friend shot 5 days ago was not in rut at all and just woods observations says things aren't clicking here yet. Bit behind normal.

I think this is correct.  Things are about to get crazy, just not quite there.  This week coming up into the following weekend is when a lot of the mature deer will encounter their demise.

You might be better off thinning the center out and leaving the outside thick ,deer love a good funnel.

One I made. He pizzed in it and sniffed up and down but did not really get into it. He was just slowly browsing along wind to his rear.

      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!
