I chose old faithful...not even a squirrel was to be seen...got down an hour after legal because my seat made "my seat" wet. That was really uncomfortable after a while...the stand was pretty icy as well......Did a slow walk with the drag, replaced a cam card...picked up a rut n buck wafer I left during bow season and caught the "triplets " that sadly are twins now, out of their mid morning bed...Picked cards from those cams...A young 5 pt and some big doe still kicking at 11pm - 12am

Another day another donut.  Took 1.5 days off to harvest and trim a Christmas tree may be the only harvest of the year.

Long deer season getting longer, I saw one big body for 2 seconds glued to brush but not rushing 40 yds at 8am.  First deer sighting from stand in gun season.

Smelled him next hour to my west but no visuals got down to track confirmed LARGE lone deer tracks lead from thicket on the public to the superthicket/golden rod/overgrown orchard off the property.  

Both climbers are at the lease so I'm hunting the am there grabbing a climber and spending the next 2.5 days trying to harvest the buck that got away 10/26.

Congrats and good luck to all harvesting and hunting.

Out again this morning, walked through an apple orchard (hilly so can see far down the rows), sat for a while in a nice spot, then went through the woods next to cover in perfect still hunting weather (soaked leaves, light drizzle). Saw nothing, spooked nothing. Really don't understand where the deer have gone this year. Last year I drew, during bow season, on four deer. This year I thought I was a better hunter--I've drawn on one deer, on day one. Think I am going to knock on a farmer's door right now who still has deer in his fields and see if I can pay for the next few weeks.

I'll ship you some of the ones that were raising hell over here.  Had a fat red that tried crawling into my blind twice.  i got a good boot on him the second time.  A monster grey and small black decided today was a good day to practice their MMA moves on each other.  I swear that grey wa as big as my wifes cat!

      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!
