Sounded  like a shooting gallery where im at  heard 6 shot one after the other then 3 one after the other then 4 again . This morning.

Just walked back out to parking lot  tropper was  there  ask him if he saw anyone bring out a deer he said no .

Getting to hot now almost 60 .

Started the morning at about 32 .

I was Surprised that i walked  over 1.25 miles straight back in this state land and saw nobody even  though the  lot was full over  15 cars i counted .  First time on opening  day i did not run into a hunter in the woods on public land in this area . Could it be  no body using  orange any more ?

Sitting about 40 yards from the Neversink River, wishing trout season was still open because the deer didn't get memo that they should all be parading past my stand today.

Bumped 1 on the in, nothing since. Only 1 shot somewhat close.

Things are kind of slow at Daddy/Husband duty Park. Drove the wife to her medical conferences (these doctors must be anti's to schedule the conference on opening day), drove home, did laundry because this guy decided to climb into our bed last night and create a scrape, bathe and fed the boy and change windshield wipers on the car. Haven't seen a deer all day. Didn't even hear any gun shots either.

Went & hunted the Canadice state land this morning. Trucks all over the place. Got in at 6:30, shots started ringing out by 6:40 (still dark). Counted 26 shots before 7:00. Things quieted down after 7:00 and by 9:00 there were no shots at all. Had one doe come through at 7:30 doing 80mph and three more to far away at 8:05. Nothing after that. Saw a nice big 8 point that was taken on the swamp side but other than that it was pretty dead.

 Taking a couple of days off to rest and get back in the mood. From the sounds of it there won't be much rest if we get the snow they say we are.

Heard approximately 18 shots in the vicinity.  Apparently, all the cool guys are double-tapping does with a shotgun.  No one in our group took a shot, but one guy jumped a couple.  Then some yahoo opens up with target practice doing 10 rd mag dumps! :blink:

Debating whether or not to go back out and work on my tan..

Sounded like the hunters son and new neighbor were having a shooting match ,just down the hill...Hope that drove some over to our place across the street. Also that they are taking out the smaller ones:wink: , one buck = one less body shooting driving the road stinking things up with kerosene heaters..ect..ect... ...I'm good with that.

I checked cams..dead,took care of animals and mail. Then repaired the canvas barn door before it snows...Now I'm headed out to sit  in one of the blinds in the rain..temps dropping fast... good luck all

The Good Lord blessed us again this morning.   BB is hanging in the garage.   The whole family is together now in "deer heaven" (our families food supply).   Momma is on the second freezer shelf, daddy on the third, and bambi will end up on the 4th when I process him next Wed.

      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!
