I have the same climbing sticks ,I love the double steps instead of the staggered singles. 


I agree, the double steps are awesome. I have a few sets of them. So much easier to hang stands with being able to put both feet on steps. They are the pretty much all I buy now.

Yup I primarily just hunt first and last watch right now.

Just got to my spot at 5:30 and found the farmer chopping the clover.  Had to haul arse and run to my backup spot on the neighboring farm.  Not expecting much...way too warm and sunny.

Man it was warm! I took the boy out quick to check a small spot with oaks but not a nut in site so much for that backup plan! Had him shoot his 20 gauge a couple more times. Dead nut so his confidence should be a-ok Saturday!

May sneak out in the am and then it's supposed to be almost 80 tomorrow! Criminy!

Think he means easy retrieval with a good shot and not having deer sit overnight in warm temps and to grab it in the morning. 

Exactly what I meant.  It was literally 75 degrees.  Intestine or gut shot in this weather wouldn't be good.

2nd day in a row of no hunting for me. Work is killing me. Hopefully can get out tmw afternoon but I have to be back to work early so it might not happen. This warm weather doesn't make me too motivated to get out there either. Thinking I might just wait until Sunday when I have the day off to get out there. Give the woods a little rest for a couple days.

Boxers? Let me know how that works for you. I am waiting for something,sun just went down behind the hill.

I am not too picky,any big doe or buck will do.

Haha, it went well, not as good as your night! Congrats! I am in search of my first bow deer, so I am trying to imagine the excitement you are feeling.  Honestly very happy for you.

Thanks Bionic.

Taylormike, I was very happy with the shot. She was sightly quartering away a only 9 yds from the stand. Pretty steep angle,but I hit the upper third of the ribcage little back of center and the exit hole was just behind the front shoulder towards the bottom of the ribcage.

The arrow hit the top of the leg and broke it,so it didn't pass completely through and she broke the tip of on a tree. I found the back third in the chest cavity. 

She expired quickly. All good.

It seems 51 is the am temp of the week! I still get warm coming in so no idea how those southern folks do it! Just a short sit this am before a wake. Probably mow the lawn and go to the beach later today!

Looked out the bedroom window, and momma and her two fawns were in the back yard. Still chomping up acorns, and they are getting fat. Her button buck fawn looked like a little pig.

The afternoons seem to be too warm for movement, but I've been seeing deer on their feet in the morning. It's just over 40 here in 4L, on Taborton Mtn.

Sitting in stand tomorrow morning, trying to get in front of the weather coming up from the south.

Sitting in a new stand that I put on to the top of a steep drop off. There are a couple heavy runs on the top edge and a scrape that's starting to get some attention 20yrds straight out in front of me.
Got in the stand at 6:45, mid 50s with a light breeze coming directly in my face.
The little creatures out here just started to wake within the last 10 minutes.

      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!
