I ended up getting bad cramp in leg, couldn't get rid of it so I decided call it day bit early at around 5:45. Made it down ladder o.k., and started walk off the cramp and I heard something off to right and look over and nice big boy stood there for few seconds and then bolted away quickly. My timing always is terrible, would been nice shot from in stand. I will be back at it tomorrow.

I actually saw more activity tonight, than I have in the previous 17 hunts combined! LOL  Had 6 does come out into the cornfield. A spike walked by me at about 3 yards, then went out into the cornfield and proceeded to chase and pester the hell out of the does, non-stop! Then a shooter buck stepped out at ~100 yards and started running the does all over. Tried grunting and talking dirty to him, but those does had his full attention! Was hoping that a doe would head my way and bring him along, but no such luck.

My buddy sent me over a pic of his Long Lake 10 point he dropped today. As I was texting him back after legal light, I dropped my rattle bag and spooked the buck that had snuck in. Yargh...

He was young, thick neck, but young. Maybe 4 points. Couldn't tell.

Ever had any success with the rattle bag? We both hunt the same area of the state. I'm curious .

It's my first season with it, and I'm not entirely sure that I know what I'm doing.

During the first couple of weeks of the season, I'd rattle lightly and does would come to check out who all was fighting. I've read that I'm supposed to get more aggressive with the rattles in the coming days, and maybe pair them up with a few snort wheezes.

I don't know though... Everything seems spooked by everything. I've got a TON to learn. I'll let you know about positive or negative experiences, but I get the feeling it's going to be kind of a flat ride until I learn more.

Taking the compound out today, for the final ride of the season . Just in time, as my right shoulder is really acting up again. Crossbow will be taking the ride starting tomorrow . Really hoping to get it done with the old Matthews today though! Good luck to all heading out! Keep safe out there!

I am waiting for gun now at this point. I have a camera at my neighbors, couple of miles away to check after a couple of weeks there. Be interesting to see if any deer turned up at all. I will be moving my stand to better cover the access from a neighboring clear cut zone with heavy cover, where all the Big Bucks hide out in.

I'm set up in my best stand for this north wind while bow hunting. I got a nice buck on camera last night at 2 am about 200 yards from here. Hoping he's still around looking for the ladies

      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!
