Well I got what I was looking for today. A nice big doe came trotting across the field right to me at about 40 yards. But loping along behind her was a small fawn. I centered the cross hairs on her shoulder. But never flipped the safty off. I've had a good season. Got meat in the freezer. She's bedded with her fawn tonight. I'm good with my decision. Give and take. A fitting way to end my season.

Great sit this morning. Got out early. I could see 100 yards no problem 40 min before sunrise. It was freezing and I didn't stay put long I had a appointment about 40 min from camp at 11 any way...... the hike in this morning was more of a trip to retrieve my climber for late season westchester hunting. I did however move some cams on the way out and have some fun stalking some does in the process. I stalked the same doe group for 20 or so minuets I actually moved a cam and then pushed them back to it..... could have shot at least five times if I had wanted to 7e19e9215575b2582f7b58ac9c1a409d.jpg3db84ad73933c5dcb28a485d099adaa4.jpg

22 hours of hunting this weekend and not one deer spotted.  I don't regret the small one I gave a pass to earlier in the week, but I'll have to wait til next season for a shot at taking my first deer.  Plenty of time to reflect and regroup.

Congrats again to everyone who had success.  Your stories inspire me.

I read this to my girlfriend as proof (like I need it) that the deer hunting community are stand-up individuals and professional sportsmen. Only takes one to make the rest look bad, but this makes us all look good!

Am I flying solo out here today ? 

9H 32 degrees 15 mph wsw wind. Real feel of 22. Drive down could have been a commercial for Subaru. Not fun by any means. Trudged thru snow to ladder stand. Love me my snow camo. Cut some fresh tracks coming in.  Blew a headlight overnight. Any cop passing me at 4:30 would have surely pulled me over. Oh yeah. They suck to replace. Turn wheel , pop out clips from wheel well , lay on ground , contort arm and have someone give you directions frown peering in from top. Who designed that great idea ?! Good luck to all today.

      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!
