Ok guys a little help! So I am at camp. Got here last night. Haven't hunted it in 2wks. This morning I got in stand a bit late, light crept up quick as I was getting ready! Anyhow, walking to my stand down the edge of my food plot and in the 10 years I've owned the property I've never seen a scrape every 10 ft. I counted 15 scrapes in a 100yrd stretch! Is this normal? Or is there a little guy who wants his presents known? What do u guys make of it?

Well got in late due to listened to weather and did not set alarm. Dog woke me up at 6:45 and it ain't raining my brother had texted and in his stand. I say heck and get to my stand and setup by 7:30. Course now raining again. 8 am have have a button and the smallest doe in the world come into me real close, I am literally betting she is not 95 pounds wet. She is broadside downwind and alert so I am froze. Then I hear grunt behind me and all hell breaks loose. A 6 came in and chased that poor button around for 5-6 minutes. I might stick it out for a while.

No rain in friendship,more wind then I like ,tree was moving around way to much. I saw a doe with 2 fawns come down the hill the exact same time a doe with one fawn go up the hill,10 minutes later ,3 doe walked the hill sideways,no way you can pattern these deer.

Rain and wind going into blind...gusts nearly picked the Dog House up...40's when I went out 34 degrees now ...I saw zilch..not even a crow...heard a buck grunt before light and just after....I had a layered but not enough ,for I was freezing by the time  Ma nature put in a call and I had to come home. It was suppose to also clear up around noon...now it's saying 3pm...we'll see, 22mph gusts, it's pretty raw out there.

 You guys would be surprised at how much time I spend in the woods. In fact I spend too much time in the woods in terms of what u have to do to get on the bigger mature Bucks on small parcels. I have been reading John Eberhart's book about hunting high pressure areas. Enlightening. It may take 2 or more seasons to get my woods in order. default_sad.gif

How good a balance do you have ? Did you walk across ? 

I did walk across ,the whole time thinking "if I go down  ,it's neck deep" 

Luckily the creek takes a sharp turn right after the bridge and most of the timbers are log jammed right there.

It's funny. Put that board on your lawn and you could walk across it all day long. Add the water underneath and whole different ball game

Pouring out and windy in 7F too. I sat out this morning. Haven't been out since Wed. It started raining at about 830 and I was soaked through by 930. Im getting psyched for Halloween. Thats when the action really starts to pick up for me.

Called it quits about 915 as the rain decided to come down in buckets. I was soaked and my gear is soaked. Headed to the store to check out beer selection and get something to make for breakfast. Full belly now and sitting on couch. Love Saturday's!! We'll see what it looks like for an afternoon sit.

What temps are you guys seeing?...I got surprisingly cold here,even though on the hill we are always colder than most in this Fingerlakes area.

Says it 38 here. Raw and damp feeling walking up. A nice tom in the tomatoes. Hadn't seen a turkey in a while here, now all to once their back. To bad I didn't get my fall turkey permit, 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!
