In for Lunch. Couple of Gobblers but no Brown. The torrential rain this morning ruined my morning sit. Lets see if the Pm stand fairs better. Lovely afternoon. Back out for the magic hour later. Oh, and did a little scouting on the way in. Found an enormous hoof print. Hopefully it's Big Boy, the 6 year old 10, still on his feet

I went to Machias this morning and it was a gully washer, glad I was in my ground blind but the rain was almost to much for that....needless to say I will be back at it tomorrow at my sisters property in 9a.

I ordered a stand umbrella as soon as I got in this morning. Not getting soaked again

I was thinking of ordering one myself! Lol.

I'm back out in the woods. In the stand this time. On the edge of thick bedding area type cover and hardwoods with acorns all over. Small pond about 75 yards east of me too. Hope to catch some moving from bed to food. Let's see what happens

Got wet on am walk in. Reeds gave in to the trail through marsh. Soaked. Climbed tree and reached for platform to be met by a handful of coon poop. All over me. I deal with it. Slightly sweet and nutty undertones. Saw several doe and passed due to drag. Wind turned more SE than E and a shooter that Moog set up on had worked in downwind and let me know I stunk. Despite the coon cover scent.

Pm looks wet.

Maybe... But it's more like second lunch. I wake up too early. Headed back to the stand I've seen bucks at 3 times last week between 5 and dark. Hoping to at least see a deer today.

Just played cat and mouse with a big mature doe. I wasn't here 15 mins and she appeared out of no where. Just as she was about to break out into my shooting lane directly in front of me she caught a whiff of something she didn't like and stopped. She stood there and stomped around for 5 mins or so and then started circling me to my left. I have a bunch of thick stuff close under me with no shot for a good ways and she just stayed in there and walked back and forth to the edges of two shooting lanes but wouldn't step out. It's like she knew walking out into that little opening meant death lol. She finally wandered off but it got my heart pumping!

      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!
