i live not to far from you and agree with you and have always said there are two different type of NYers.......fyi for the safety freaks, your kid has a better chance of ODing on meth or getting shot in a school shooting then a tree stand accident

 I got no problem letting kids Hunt from stands , however that comparison is just wrong.

While nobody compiles numbers of tree stand accidents I know plenty of guys, who broke femurs , ribs,  tib/ fibs, degloved fingers , as well as took screw in steps to ribs causing damage . Ask anyone who works in an ER dept how many injured  hunters they see each year from falls, then ask about school shootings.

i would say herioin od's may  exceed falls though, at least where I work.

Well I haven't found my doe yet. I'm a bit surprised. I heard her crash about 40-50 yards away. I know it was a bit windy but the thick crap she crashed into, I should of been able to hear her continue on.

Anyways. I tracked her a good 150 yards. Tons and tons of blood. She should of bled out no farther than where I stopped. I backed out after initial shot to grab my wheeler and step son to help me. We stopped when it got way too dark and momma was blowing my phone up saying dinner was ready. The blood trail was also headed into the thickest stuff on the property. It's a mixture of thorns and vines and other ungodly thick vegetation. I couldn't drag a 9 year old through there in the dark let alone get myself in there without getting tangled. So we decided to head home for dinner. Which was oven roasted back strap from last weekends doe.

Temps should be down in the low 40s high 30s. She is gonna have to hold over night. Hate doing it. But it happens.

Believe it or not Larry my wife was a nurse at Carthage area hospital for 25 yrs and 10 yrs of it in the ER and she never dealt with a tree stand accident I know there are a good number of them though.

I'm with@shawnhu. Let us know how the morning track winds up.

Add to my last post:

Forgot to mention that a Black-throated Blue Warbler flew right up to me today. Hung out on a branch and checked me out for a bit.

The first cold north wind of the year never fails!

What a crazy October night in the stand. 4 does ran out of the woods into the corn early. Shortly after a 4pt and a basket 8 came into the field and sparred for a few minutes the 4 finally ran away and the 8 walked right under me and started feeding right before dark the big 8 I have been after came out at 50yds these 2 went at it in the field right under me for half an hr well after dark I didn't climb out of my stand until after 7:30.

A great night to be in the woods. The basket 8 and the 4 were both within 15yds during legal shooting hrs so that makes buck 6 and 7 that I have had in range and passed on this year.

This is a pic of the 2 smaller bucks.

Heading out in a bit! My buddy got an 8 pt. Saturday evening and has been seeing bucks every sit. I sat with my grandson Saturday and myself yesterday afternoon and haven't seen a deer! All the while our trail cams are filled with deer, and a few decent bucks! Hoping to get some action this morning! Perfect conditions here, a little breeze from the NW and 40 degrees. Going back to the oak ridge blind. Good luck to all heading out. And keep safe.

      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!
