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

With his Jr. Archery, he can not use crossbow. Which I think is dumb. But hopefully the regs will be changed for next year. We did bring his bow, but with so much on to keep warm, he can't get a good sight picture and would definitely have string slap on his bow arm. He's good with it, not shooting, today. Said he's not ready this year anyways .  But next year will be his year!!!!  Tomorrow he's going to the Bills game with some baseball team mates. So hopefully this afternoon we can get a chance at a nice fat doe and call it a season together. Then do some small game and coyote hunting together. God, I love being out here with him!

Nothin in stand this morn. Got down and followed tracks for a bit. Got home and took a walk out back. Jumped one that was browsing at noon right past my brothers stand. It heard me before I got over knoll and I saw where it started running. I knew it was going into the bowl. I popper her up outa there but did not feet comfortable with the shot due to proximate to my neighbors. Too bad she was the first shooter doe I've seen since the first week of doe!!!!!!

Well I fired three shots before made it to my stand...had I not been delaying at home and then had I not got caught up with a DeC officer right as I popped in off the road onto fresh tracks I'd have been sitting here when they arrived instead of the other way around ugh.

30 yds broadside running thru mid density woods I led her but nothing connected tracked them 200 yds to property edge.

Gonna sit in this ladder til 4:29 as reminded by the officer, that may close the book on this long ugly season.  

Very thankful for my blind squirrel doe harvest last week but a year to put to rest for sure.

      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!
