Got home from work at 830am. Slept until 250. In the stand at 310. Wasn't in here 5 mins before 2 doe and a yearling came out of the tall grass and have been wandering around in front of me about 60-80 yards out ever since. Haven't hunted this stand yet. But I like it so far. Nice visibility into this dried up swampy area.

Wow,did I have an evening. So, at some point I hear noise behind me and a fawn starts running down the hill. Then comes another and a third deer,and they are chasing each other back and forth all around me. Then two more join the fun,and then they all disappear before I get a shot. Then I am almost ready to climb down and a doe walks up. I get to full draw and am just about ready to put her down,only 13 yds away. Now her fawn steps right in front of her vitals.

I wait and she takes two steps,about ready for this shot and the fawn catches up again. After that no more shooting lanes for me. She got lucky tonight,next time will be the end of her...

At 6:10 I'm standing at the kitchen sink to see 4 deer trotting across the field elsewhere they cross into the pumpkin patch. I then spot a doe standing 50 ft from the dog kennel..then another 80 ft in front of me, all headed toward the pumpkin patch across the street...should have been hunting.

very slow opening season for deer movement by me... surprising considering the TC pics. anyone else experiencing a storm of acorns this year? my food plots seems to have slowed up since the crop started coming down

The oaks up here in 4L are still raining acorns, and it seems like they've been doing so for months.  I think a few of them finally dried up, though.  I'm hoping that the my little plot starts picking up in a couple of weeks as the oaks all run out.

At about 5:45 p.m. tonight, the wife heard what she described as two large calibre shots fired one a few seconds after the first, and then nothing.  My mind wandered to poachers, as I sat in the car wash reading her text message.

I'd say the ones by me seemed to start dropping mildly 4 weeks ago or so but really coming down this last week.

I'm hoping mine pick back up too... I heard some single and double shots fired throughput the hills a few times tonight. One can only wonder, but you never know.

Boy this is a bit depressing 5th sit for 13 hours and have not seen a deer from stand. Another 30 min gotta get down and head to work. Still not sure the extended 2 weeks is a plus for my spots! Lol

      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!
