I'm thinking bacon and eggs at the house beats this barren watch this morning! Not even a squirrel. Days like this threaten the existence of the next young buck that goes by me!!

I hear crash smash out to my right and get excited thinking running deer. Nope some big ass bird was trying to get a squirrel. Branches breaking and falling to ground, squirrel just going off and the bird chugging through the trees. I could not get a good look but man it had real white tail feathers. 10:30 I think I'm tapping out.

The wind helped me get to the blind  without spooking anything...but it also caused me to have to go the very long way then double back... I had a single fawn then twin fawns ..a bit later a spiker. then a doe(@#$$^^%) starts to come in up wind of the blind...75 yrds out and she gets spooky looking at the blind then runs like the wind for the neighbors swamp taking a fawn with her. Of course not long after that my constitution kicked in.. so I grabbed garden cam cards on the way in..Here I sit typing to you having just came in and I was here yesterday to,about the same time...hhmmm I may forego the early morning sits and sleep in a bit..then go sit..I can't do any worse than I have been doing

At this morning on a new piece of land and had a beautiful 6 come in down wind. Was deff spooled cause of this sloppy wind. An hour back and forth of some light grunting rattling until he finally walked away. Closest he came was 60 yards.

Just got food and came to location #1 to see if i can put some bone on the ground / surf in this damn tree. Last few days have seen alot of activity. Safe to say its on in Westchester

Turned out to be an interesting morning.  Had a 120s class 8 (very big) come in downwind of me.  Pushing a spike out of thick stuff. Sure enough, he winds me and heads away from me towards line where neighbor that I do not know yet is sitting. Clear line of site.  Buck stays on our property looking around for 10min.  I am wondering if neighbor is not shooting because the buck is on our land.  I start trying to waive to him to go ahead and shoot this beauty.  No response.  Watching the whole thing through binoculars at 100 yards.  Buck finally starts heading straight down property line which is divided by a creek.  Then takes off at a trot.   The whole time I feel bad because I never saw neighbor shoot.  I then see him getting down from stand.  I decided to get down and introduce myself.

 

turns out to be a 14 year old shaking like a leaf.  I ask why he didn't shoot.  He says I did and I think I hit him.  I then mention the buck was on our side of creek.  His eyes are huge and doesn't know what to say.  I tell him no worries as I was hoping he got it.  He asks to go get his dad while I wait.  I find the arrow and he returns with dad who was very appreciative.  Find a fair blood trail and we agree to back out since we both know where it likely is and no point in rushing.  I end up being invited to meet whole family.  Yada yada very nice people and I am pretty sure this young man killed a near pope and young buck.  They are going back at 2pm to track and I expect a photo.  Very happy for the young kid even if he shot 30yds into our land.  

Then I head back to truck to see two deer racing like heck from across road where my buddy is sitting.   Sure enough, he shot a nice 8 and I just saw the aftermath.  Great shot and we recovered buck within 70yds.  

Jusy need the pic of the young man with his trophy and it will be a perfect morning. 

Sitting in stand again with no intention of picking up my bow.  Gotta love it.

      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!
