Thanks everyone! Shot him with a rage, he sure did do some bleeding! 

 

I first spotted him outside a bedding area scent checking about 0700. He started to walk off after about 20 minutes and he was 60 yards out so I grunted as a last resort and he turned on a dime and walked in stiff legged to 40. He ran about 60 yards and piled up in some thick stuff. Good luck to everyone, still plenty of time left.

Calling it a done bow season. No deer seen this morning. But cams are showing multiple bucks at night on both properties . Will spend the rest of the day washing hunting clothes and getting everything ready for Saturday's firearm opener .  Best of luck to all who are sticking it out to the end. Anyone have a good recipe for tag soup?.......lol

Looking for advice on cold weather hunting clothing. Right now I'm hunting a medium duty under armor scent lock. I know it will not stand up to these upstate winters I am hearing about. Was hoping to get some guidance from you guys that have been hunting these cold winters for years. I don't want to freeze during late bow season and not be able to draw my bow. I really want to see some of the white stuff during one of the deer seasons. I was living down in the Caribbean for the past 2 years, so I'm assuming I'll be a big wuss until I get used to the weather again.

I might suggest starting a new thread on this and you will get a lot of responses and not clog up this thread. You're going to get a lot of answers regarding wool I know.

Low and slow ,you want to break up the fibers in the paper to allow the seasonings to soak in. I'll demonstrate with mine a day posted a video.:(

What poundage are you pulling? And what's your draw length
Anyone I have spoken with who has a low poundage and shorter draw length has trouble with rage penetration.

One more picture of him with my favorite little guy, my son Ivan.

@mlammerhirt I shoot 67 pounds and 27 inch draw length. I will say I've never had a pass through with a rage, but, I like the idea of the broadheads cutting as the deer runs.

 

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations!

So the leaf cover made me crazed this morning..pretty sure that buck  would have come in closer had he not heard me come in...I just finished every single trail for the last time ...all leaf cover in trees are down. No wind out there for now but they should stay clear enough. Oh and I found the bolt I shot at that buck the other day...thankfully not in my foot or the Gator tire, so being anal about noise payed off with a bolt and good G5...OMG crazy track on all those trails...big small, some very deep and splayed some super long..one trail looks like a cow path under the leaf cover...they do enjoy walking them..

So hopping in shower again and headed out...good luck guys...

I'm leaning in that direction. I kept waiting for the rut to happen, did some all day sits, hunted hard but have just not seen much deer movement. It looks like the last week of October was hot, but not much since. I may hunt an hour or two here or there this week, but pretty much resting up for gun season.

      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!
