It's taking me forever to skin this deer...I do as much as I can before it feels like someone has dropped my fingers into a vat of boiling oil...then I have to run in and run them under cold water to luke warm so the  the pain goes away...My Gosh it's cold out there and the deer is colder!

Hey Grow ever try this?

I've used a electric hoist with a golf ball but never tried a vehicle

No  but again I believe those are warm deer...When I pull down the hide on a cold deer it tends to catch flesh ,unlike when warm... I have no problems in cold weather with a fresh kill...but thanks for the ideas...I will just use the playtex next time or if I do get another this year skin it as soon as I hang it...then it only takes me about 20 mins start to finish

 Never tried the truck thing but with a electric hoist the only time you have to touch it is when the hide hangs up' Just trim where it hangs up and  keep pulling. If I get a fox or coyote in the winter and they are frozen I use the hoist and it sure saves the hands from freezing. (Sorry off topic)

Fletch, When I was younger I hunted a lot of the land on Sixty road, Potter RD, Long before Radison development went in, My old man and I used to get a deer every year over there, however back then there were many more hunters and the deer would move almost all day.

I live right near there and have hunted one end to the other over the years.  My inlaws live on Sixty road. Not the deer there used to be and we lost over private piece on the town end that was a solid producer.

Ok change of plans for me.  Gotta pick up my kids from school at 3 so barely any hunting after that so brewing beer will have to wait till tomorrow and I'm gonna head back out into the stand in a few to see if I can surprise a deer that knows I don't sit out there mid day.  I went to home-brew store to get a sack of grain and dicks was next door so I took too much time looking at muzzle loaders.  I'll start a diff thread with my muzzle loading questions

Did it look like this? We may use the same taxidermist.

I  went out this morning armed with one of those fancy breakfast bagels, Paula"s donut, an orange ( for the healthy side) and a thermos of black pekoe tea. Watched the fawns in a very relaxed atmosphere. They were having breakfast as I. They moved on by 7:10; right about the time my thermos tipped over, spilling the goodness. Southern arms season ends what; about December 22nd, LOL.

Is this from NY state....??wow

Smartest thing I have ever done is put an anchor in the barn where we hang deer. 2 bags of concrete in a hole big enough for he concrete and a couple inches of gravel above it. Put a long i bolt in the concrete before it dried to use as the anchor. Slit around the throat put in the golf ball, rope around the ball and down to the i bolt push the button and the deer goes up and the hide stays on the ground. It couldn't be easier.

Careful, everyone will expect you to kill a 180"er too!  Or start sitting your stands in hopes of doing so.  Best to keep that quiet.  lol

8p is pretty big with a lot of woods. Have at it. That deer is not typical for the neighborhood either.

Ok I'm pretty sure I need to find a realtor near Rock! He's covered up in deer and he brews home brew. And if he lives anywhere near TF I'm sure I'd gain all the weight I've lost back following him around eating at those places he posts all the time

      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!
