Pretty windy this morning but decided to give it a shot. At 8:15 had a yearling doe and a small 4 point walk in. Decided to give them a pass with four days left. They might not be so lucky in a couple of days. Another reason I decided to pass is because I found this on the way in:

Congrats to TF and the others that are enjoying the fruits of persistence and shear determination, it has not been an easy season!

My wife had surgery for her severe tendinitis in her wrist this morning and I'll be chasing our 10 mo old around for the next day or so.  I'm out of the woods until Saturday at the earliest. Hoping arrival of my MIL on Thursday night let's me get out of the house for bit over the weekend.  

ML season looks like a go, but I don't want to jinx myself.

There is a 12-point stud roaming the neighborhood, and way too many does; they destroyed 5 rhododendron and our native blueberry shrubs this week. I've started getting grief from our neighbors for not harvesting more so I'm hoping I can cross paths with them out back. took one doe in archery season but that's not nearly enough.

I'm scrambling to get in the woods early enough this afternoon.  My fav spot behind my house isn't gona work today because a dozer has been around the corner all day and it must have a blown gasket or something. The whole back woods is black smog. It's really bad

They shouldn't be allowed to keep running it if it's that bad

Ok I was able to get in the woods in the stand I shot my buck last Friday.  I was going to wait to use this spot out of desperation this weekend but it was the next closest spot from my house. The doe came out here last Friday a little after 3 I think. It still smells like buck in here.

Gave it a couple days rest and spent the time with my daughter and her husband.  They are about to gift us our first grandbaby, and we wanted to help and visit them a bit. I hung their Christmas lights while there. Now I'm back in the gravel pit stand hoping to put some meat in the freezer.   Good luck all who are still out there!

      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!
