Didnt jump any on way in surprisingly as loud setting up but I have a great wind in my face. Bedding behind me and a huge trail in front of me. Just need one to walk by. Sitting almost exactly where I missed 1 last year. Dad's got xbow God I hope he gets a shot at something. First year in 3 years he feels well enough to go out. Good luck to all.

Got a rangefinder got my birthday from dad yesterday gonna play with that. Finally moving up in tech space

Last night was a very rough one for me, we found out the old mans leukemia has moved to stage 4. Today my brother and him are all hunting my hundred acre wood lot in SZ they have their Xbows. On the ride over hear we all decided that today we are going to try and kill a buck God only knows how many chances we will have for the 3 of us to be together.

I feel out of place this morning, like I'm trespassing. I usually only hunt around the edges of my property but this morning I decided to hit a thick bedding area on a knoll. Man is it thick! If it's going to happen here it's going to be close!

Deer are deff moving. Saw some chasing at first light. Just had a new buck come in to 40 yards but hung up. Really cool non typical 6. He followed my drag rag then hung up downwind. After 5 mins I grunted and he took off. Bummer but still really cool

Lets hope the big guy shows up

Set up with my son at the tower with the crossbow. 7:45 I see one 80 yds out up ridge. I rookied it. We needed to switch seats in the blind and he busted us. He was in the thick stuff so I wanted to swap before he got closer. I figured he couldn't see us. I shoulda glassed first cause he was looking. Bounded back the way he came. Think is was a small buck. Dang this is a learning curve hunting with two!

Send in another deer we need more practice lol

Thanks everyone, it really means a lot! We have known He had it for 5 years now but it's starting to turn for the worst now. It's hard I live next door and we are best friends and do everything together. I can't even begin to fathom doing this stuff without him, and with last nights news it's all becoming a reality.

Zag....check out Amazon....do a search for mini action camera. They have "GoPro's" knock offs from $20 and up. My son has one, unsure of which exact one, and he says they're just as good. They're HD and WiFi just like to GoPro hero 3+ that I have.

 

Worth a shot for that amount. Especially if you are a prime member. If u don't like it just send it back no questions asked. They also use all if the GoPro accessories

      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!
