3N: My Dad texted me saying he watched 4 doe circling a pine tree around 100 yards away for a full hour (730am - 830am). Finally, he decided to stalk a little closer to see if there was a buck around. Sure enough, 70 yards away was a tight racked 6pt. My Dad tried soft grunt and soft bleat, but nothing worked he wouldn't come any closer. They slowly difted away. He will probably stay there the whole day now, instead of heading back to our new property this afternoon.

Game of cat and mouse. Dad just saw the 6pt again, stalked to within 56 yards but couldn't get any closer before the buck moved on. Hopefully later he can call him in or something.

Finishing cleaning up my place then heading to camp. Need to stop first at get some oil and a filter so I can change my oil later this weekend.
Looks like wind in forecast for tonight. I'm going to give it a good olde college try and see what happens. Maybe the deer don't care about the wind today.... hopefully@chefhunter86 can get out of work earlier and join me in the woods

This guy came by at 7:45...first deer with the crossbow.  Hunting out of a natural ground blind on a small ridge, he came through at 28 yards, walking broadside...grunted and he stopped for the shot.  He walked off about 25 yards, stood looking around for about 15 seconds, and fell down and passed.  Thank God for a good hunt!20161111_084437.jpg20161111_083042.jpg

Way to go on the deer guys!!

When I dropped mine off at the butchers they had a lot of bucks in. And to tell the truth only a couple were all swollen up at the neck and stinking good. One was an absolute pig that the txidermist said his neck was so big he was going to order a mule deer form! Buck dressed out over 210. But I would say your going to see good action in central area for the next week. Right up till opening day when the war starts!

 

Me and the boy will be getting out soon. On the ground tonight in a brush blind we did up a while back.

First deer with a crossbow. Sat in the blind for a couple hours this morning and then decided to do some stalking. Three does came walking down a trail. Dropped to a knee and hit her broadside at 20 yards. She ran 40 yards and fell over. Gave a few kicks and that was it. Dead in less than 5 minutes. Used a $5 (or less) Carbon Express Quad Pro broad head.

Congrats halfnelson on your first crossbow deer, back in the swamp stand here in 6g jumped a doe and another big bodied deer on the way in couldn't see the head of the bigger deer in guessing maybe a buck, they make it 3 deer I've seen all week averaging 6 hrs a day in the woods, sometimes it just feels like I'm taking the gun for a walk!

Found a nice fresh rub last weekend so moved my stand to this spot. Not many shooting lanes. Most of them less than 20 yards. But on one side is thick growth and a rub and on the other side is open tall grass area and a clearing with pines around it. Hopefully some thing makes the wrong move

Trying a new spot in 3n public. Looks good. Along a swampy area, heavy used trail with a fresh scrape not to far off. Wish I was closer but hard to find a tree for climber. First time here , hoping for a little luv from hunting gods.

      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!
