Was ready to hit a close property for a few hours...but made the call around 5:30 to stay home. Tis the season for the family to get sick one by one and right now the wife and 8 month old are coughing and sound like crap. Good luck to everyone....today should be labeled "fill the freezer" day!

Up in the state land outside oneonta. Sitting on the edge of the property my dad used to own. His old ladder stand is still here so I climbed up in. It's a little bit grown into the tree and the straps seem iffy but someone must of been up in here cause there's a iced tea bottle here. Might have to bring a new strap next time. This stand has been here for years. Seen better days but still works.

Hope me and my buddy get a crack at some bucks. I haven't seen anything yet. He's down the hill and I'll meet him around 930. Good luck today everyone!

 Didn't make it to my stand this morning, my wife was looking for a little extra shuteye without my two little monsters bothering her. So now I am getting ready to do a little pushing with a couple buddies before too long for the first time this year. We never push out our best spots so we don't usually see any bucks but we usually see a couple does and fawns.

Weird morning. Buddy that missed yesterday connected with a medium sized doe, and said a buck passed between our two stands. He did not take the shot at the buck for safety concerns. My other friend in one of my other stands saw 9 does, and 3 bucks. Two spikes and a 6 point. He shot and missed the 6 pointer. All I saw was one deer, I think a buck, on a dead run across the field without stopping.

Re-learned: 1. Make your plan. 2. Stick to your plan. Had I gone to the stand I originally planned to I would have filled a tag. Most, if not all, of the deer today passed my originally chosen stand!

I'll be back in the woods after charging my phone.

Currently hear someone with a pistol in a distance firing away. Assuming they're doing a drive hopefully. My dad has been texting me saying he has 4 doe across a field in thicks and can't get a clear shot. I have a woodpecker pecking at a tree for the past 2 hours lol

      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!
