Have to go to DC this weekend.  Think i'm going to go into work late for the next 3 working days and hunt 6:00am - 8:15am and get into the office at 930.   I feel like the mornings are on fire in Westchester.  

I've been after this 8 ptr on my buddies property for the last 3 seasons ( 5 1/2 year old this season) that I named "Thor".  Cams showed that he only came out 3 times in daylight last year and so far once this season.  I have a feeling he's beded down infront of my stand right now. :mda:

 

your soft, who goes to DC when the RUT IS ON!!!! Tell your sister the rut only comes once a year and youll take a plane out after LOL

Gutshot will usually hunch up, and the tail will "flicker" a bit as they walk off. Was there a lot of hair? I'm hoping he just zipped over his back or through the backstraps and not a gut shot. If he was downhill the arrow could have gone a ways right?


Not much hair, but the hair was dark. Buck was actually limping before the shot my Dad said. After the shot it spun around quickly and limped away, but again it was limping beforehand too.

Well, that was one of the crunchier walks in my hunting career! I'm not sure how I managed to spook only two little ones on the way in! Good luck to everyone, I know it's warm, hopefully this front will have them up and moving before dark however.

Planned on not hunting this aftrnoon, to recharge. Used warm temps as an excuse. Checked cams this morning on my way out. Got home and had videos of bucks chasing does hard in a cut cornfield from 3:15 pm yesterday, all night, and right up until 10am this morning!

Had to run to Canandaigua at lunchtime. Saw a buck chasing a doe through a cut cornfield at 12:30 pm. A few miles down the road, saw a nice buck strolling across a winter wheat field, nose to the ground at 12:50pm.

Needless to say, my plan to "recharge" this afternoon went out the window! Back in the stand!

Been seeing bucks chasing does ~100 yards out in a cut cornfield in the evenings. Nice shooter was out there a few days ago. No amount of grunting or bleating did any good. Thought I would get here early and try running a scent drag out into the cornfield to try to draw the bucks in for a shot. We'll see...

Still nothing. Unfortunately, my dad's hearing is shot so it's not even like he hear possible crashing. He continues to keep looking in both directions and even crosses stream to check. He will stay until night in hopes he can then find lighted arrow glowing.

Sweet, you give me hope to see something! I am set up in a blind I usually only spring turkey hunt from. The problem with it is a cat has been using it a lot it seems. I feel like I might get flea's from being in here. Going to have to wash clothes tonight!

      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!
