Well no shooter bucks yet but have seen deer, a doe at about 7:45 and two doe at 12:15. Doing an all day sit hoping for a shooter buck. But this is pretty cool have a fox sleeping at the base of a tree about 49 yds from me; been there for almost an hour so far. Here's a pic of him.

Nothing this morn and not much shooting. Did a bit of wandering to try to kick up a deer after sitting. No luck. Had lunch at the truck and now in a new spot for evening watch. State land 8f and the deer are hunkered down lol and not many hunters out.

First time in stand with the rifle this year. Looking for some buck luck up on the mountain in 4L. I'd be hunting field corners if I could...

Laid some scent drag, so maybe I'll lure in a cruiser. Fairly fresh sign along the way, but cameras show only nighttime activity.

Weird wind.  So I can see my breath heading east.However about 700 to 800 feet north of me my neighbor is burning stuff. I have smokey smell and ashes falling on me from there so I'm guessing the hot air is rising and where it's rising to the wind is south but at my level it's heading east.  I thought it's figuring some of this wind stuff out but now I don't really know.   Oh well I hope the deer don't care but I'm not expecting to see anything.

Sounds like some fellas a couple ridges over have been driving with the rifles for the past couple of hours.

About an hour ago, my neighbor was shooting at crows. Aside from a barred owl 30 mins ago, and my other neighbor occasionally banging around on something, it's still and silent.

30 min warning for me...

An exciting morning for those hunting here with me on my land in 8H. The cornfields off of my land are being cut today so the deer are moving out just ahead of the combine. Friend shot a doe and a second year young man shot a nice seven. I didn't see any of the nine deer that were spotted this morning. Could possibly have something to do with the Hunting Widows Night Out held in Geneseo last night. All of the ladies headed out about 3:00 so it was getting a bit rowdy by 6:30 when the hunters arrived. Lots of fun but late night so I may have napped a bit this morning..,.

This afternoon is perfect! Cool enough, no wind to speak of an the quiet is deafening. All by myself and ready for the deer to show at any time now!

      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!
