LIVE from the woods 2016 Edition! - 7th Year, lets make this happen...

Sitting 60 yards from a cut cornfield. There's about 12 or so nice rubs within 30 yards of the stand. One on a 7" diameter tree. New one made within the last 2 days. Thinking the shooter that I saw last week, uses this spot as a staging area and checks does as they enter the cut cornfield. Hoping our paths will cross one of these days.

VERY excited, neighbor just called me and said i could hunt behind my house on his 11 acres because he is sick of hitting deer with his car on our road. Its a small wooded area bordering a creek but the deer run this creek. 
I ran out and set up cameras. cant hunt till Sunday.

Yote hunting maybe?


It's possible, but I doubt it. As one long time resident down the mountain told me after I mentioned that I think there are poachers up here: "oh yeah, that's where everyone goes and gets a deer, whenever."

I've only seen one coyote up here during daylight in two years. Something is off...

Just heard another single shot.

Congrats and...That's the third high hit this year right?

Bury the @&%% pin next time, you are a way better shot than that stone. 

PS my freezer is still void of venison and I'd be tickled with a not so perfect quick kill shot. Lol

My very first buck with the bow way back @23 years ago when I was 14 I hit in damn near the same spot. I did everything wrong but still came home with him and the memory of what I did wrong. Mine was shot while he was walking and I dropped my arm bad, it was an instant sick feeling followed by elation when he fell over 50 yards away. As my dad would call it "$hit house luck".

Morning and afternoon hunt in 3s. Saw the same couple does and same 4pointer in the am. A couple does far away in the pm. No good bucks in this new spot. No sign of the rut. Congrats to our latest killers. I'm hoping to join the group soon. I really want to make a pot of venison chili.

Had my son with me in the tower for an hour and a half. We were so close to getting him a shot with the crossbow. It is so hard to get him in the right window and lined up when they were so close and jumpy. Aaaaaaaaaaa

Doe and button again same two that we couldn't connect on in youth.

He had a freehand shot but was not steady or comfortable. Every time he did get lined up was bad angle. Oy vey this is hard!

I'm new to the forum so bear with me. . Spent 7 days in the woods northern zone dawn til dark seeing tons of scrapes some really good rubs and not even a flag going in or out just plain nothing til this morning. Late start( kinda had to talk myself into it) 200 yards in a 6 point with his nose to the ground walks to 15 yards away from me looks right at me and can't be bothered keeps going through a little thicket I walk around it as he comes out maybe 40 yards away. I make a little baab noise with my mouth and he starts walking right at me! I raised my gun as he got to 10 yards aaaaand then I remembered I'm in the southern zone and I'm small game hunting with my gun loaded with #6 birdshot feels like I got punched in the you know what! Still awesome to see but come on I gotta catch a break soon. Good luck yall be safe out there!

      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!
