Been semi awake since 2:23...alarm should go off in1 min. . rewind on the10pt miss...let's hope every thing today comes in left to rt. . Well,I best get up eat shower and boogie...it will take me at least 40 mins. To walk to stand...most of the way I have to take baby side steps to avoid going down on my back side. Then avoid being taken out crossing the stream on slippery rocks. Opening is 7:28. The doe and fawn will start filing in about 7. I need to beat them down the hill.....Good Luck everyone.


Git R Done!

Nice one TACs, I think I heard your shot.   My supposidly 40 below rated black Micky boots only kept my feet warm until 9:00 this morning up in the stand and I abandoned ship.  I should have got a pair of the white ones that are supposed to be good to 70 below (according to my father in law).   Now I am typing in front of the woodstove and thawing out some black angus liver for lunch.    I did not see anything from 7:00 - 9:00 this morning in 9F, but lots of fresh tracks in the dusting of snow.  I still have 1 DMP for here and hopefully a couple hours in a blind before sunset will take care of it. There is no more room in our freezers, and I am sick of butchering, but I hear Buck & Doe is accepting donations for feeding homeless folks.   One less doe to dodge on my way back and forth to work on the road would also be a good thing.

My grandson and I are out. His feet got cold so we will take a break to warm up. We were set up on a south facing slope, below a cut corn field. In the thick nasty's of hemlock and white pine. Longest shot is about 50 yards. We had deer moving around us most of the morning. But the only clear shot was on a two year old 8pt. And I have no buck tag.  Grandson grunted and bleated him within 30 yards twice! He's only 12 and can't wait to hunt with firearm in a couple years. His eyes when he brought the buck in were huge! ...... Will warm up those size 14 tootsies and put some food in his belly. Then my buddy will do a couple small pushes to us later on. Good luck to all who are out today!

Nice job! He's hooked!!! Awesome. At 12 can't he hunt with one of the cross gun things? I know they can hunt with a real bow. Even if not still cool to have him with u and see some action. I had my 9 year old out with me durning archery this October and we seen mom and 2 little ones. I let them go but they were 15 yrds and put on a show for us. He can't wait till he is 12. Good stuff

The group of deer I saw were making their way to my BIL. He saw one walking the path that would give him a easy shot. Then someone on my neighbors property started walking around and spooked them. Well he's calling it a season. If I get out tomorrow I'll try to get a doe for him. Goodluck and stay warm everyone.

I heard two between us pretty early, I thought they may even have been around Thompson if there's anywhere left to gun hunt over there

first Congrats on the deer guys...

Could it have been a more perfect morning? I think not...well a dead deer would have been nice but other wise I loved it! Took me 45mins to get to the stand and there were no tracks yesterday and crazy amount this morning..I got in with out any outward sign of spooking deer. at 6:30 a car came down the road and as soon as it hit our line the breaks went on... Then I lost track of the tail lights...roads 2 hundred yards away and heard the car door slam...nice! out came my mag-light and I raised it way over my head and turned it on ...shaking it a bit...turned off then back on again....I waited ...thought for sure I'd hear a before hours shot...but nothing:cheese:..I had a bunch of female cardinals, chickadees and buntings all around me and watched a mink as it got light...saw other movement but couldn't make it out. All movement was way out in front of me ,nothing came down the hill. At 8:30 I saw legs way down towards the road where I saw yesterdays  buck chasing..Good sign ,no shot I had chased who ever off...I used the ranger finder like a monocular and spotted a high 8 getting up from his bed and stretching...I tried calling him in but 80 yrds out he never even looked my way and shook then crossed one of the creeks that is a property border into the neighboring cattail/ marsh grass. I doe bleated on and off  until 9:30 when my toes were on fire from the cold...toe warms couldn't beat the boots being wet on the outside and packed in snow and ice...I even brought a foot pad for the platform... all that did was get wet and stick to the bottom of the boots...lol

So off I went back up that 40 degree incline ever so slowly( seriously,the only way I can!)....Finding tracks that crossed mine going across the hill. Then I got to a shelf where I have 2 stands and stopped between them to take in the view...up popped 2 snow covered deer 20 feet to my left bedded down...a fawn and I'm not sure  what the other was,all I saw was butt......got to the top and Thanked the heavens...I made it up that beastly hill again...lol

      Gun Hunt in 3G, 3F, 3N Help
      By Raul2145
      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!

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      Any good spots within an hour of New Paltz?
      By Toth9050
      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

      Rocky Point
      By Raul2145
      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!
