Weather change and gun opener hs clompletey shut down deer movement. Nothing on camera for days coming in or out of the Honey hole. I did see a small spike yesterday on the edge of the cover, but the big boys are layin low. There is hoof and bedding evidence of big deer moving, but they seem to be gone by first light. Need a new plan

Same story in my woods. And they seem to be holding in the valleys.

i went out for a little walk around 7am out behind the house, i had a nice 26 inch layer of snow to walk through!! I started hitting tracks at the back edge of the yard. The deer were up last night when the snow died. I walked through to my far stand and cut 6-8 more sets. Eased back and spotted two coming out of the gully beside the house so I backed up and got some cover. They ended up coming up by me, never knew I was there. It was the little doe and the button again. Snow was half way up their bodies lol, If anyone shoots one of those it will be my son. He has history with them already and they work the tower area we hunt. I am not taking any opportunity away from him. We will get out later for a couple hours. Gonna be some deer shot over the next few days. It may be tough work but doable.

Just took a walk around property line...So deep snow knees a tad bothered...but I now know I have been hunting the wrong areas all along!...one area looks like the Los Angeles highway system....old fresh big bigger and small. no cam sets there due to trespassing....Anyways I now know where to concentrate. Nothing on cams but one fawn today and this guy on the 18th 6 yards from a blind...hope he stayed in hiding...

      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!
