It's a great diy get away hunt. Cabin is costing us $500 for the 4 days and we will be bringing all the food we need from home. Cabin is all setup with all the kitchen stuff you could need. Wife usually just prepares dinners before we go and we just need to heat it up. Saves a lot of money this way. Last year I only spent $500 in total on the trip. This year we are gonna be down a man so it might cost me $600 this year. I consider it a extremely cheap trip with chances for a booner buck

Definitely sounds worthwhile. Can't get much more affordable than that. Good luck out there!

Just got to car. Snow and rain clouds and I couldn't see squat the last half hour. All day sit = zero deer seen. I hope to get a gold star on my report card for participation. Eyes are whacked from staring into wind all day. Back in the trenches in the morning.

Went to Rivers blind and hey Biz...I used my hickory oil lure...I had a fawn feeding about 122yrds down the lane way . Then about 4 another deer joined it...gosh glassed it and it looked like a really young doe the fawn was a bit smaller than her...finally they start my way and I'm still not quite sure at 58 yards I was almost off the fence and it turned broad side then swung it's head around and over the sweet spot to chew it's back...Well that gave me more time to think...then suddenly it turned and went right into the brush...lol Figures...So I watch Mr B drive by at 15 after...I get home at 10 to 5 and his first words words where were you? See anything..after the second time he asked..... I rolled my eyes and said just tell me...Well.....as I was pulling up a nice sized 6 or 8 trotted out of our hedge row across the street and right past the house into our woods 50 ft from the front porch.

Wonderful was going to put out the decoy and sit in the garden blind...but the wind was so bad I figured if I went low it would be as rough and the deer were probably low as well...So much for that!

9H. 34 degrees 13 mph west wind. Last 5-6 miles of driving went from 0 to crappy real quick. No snow and dry roads to snow globe and slippery Still falling pretty good. Will hunt til I shoot a deer or noon , whatever comes first. Soooooo, noon it is. There has to be a deaf, blind and one that can't smell out here somewhere! Good luck to all headed out.

I just said to Larry 302 last night that now is the time of year to be optimistic.  Last year I saw some doe throughout the regular season and not one buck until the last week of it.  And that buck I shot, it was on the last day of regular.  The deer are out there.  If you stay optimistic you will probably be more alert.  The other day I hadn't seen anything and I said to myself there are deer out here.  Almost the next minute a doe got up from her bed in the bushes in front of me and teased me walking through the bushes for the next hour or so.  She was right in front of me the whole time.

I'll be out there before sunup.  Wonder what the weather is doing here?

      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!
