We all know how much you hate to sit still. You probably only sat 30 minutes in each stand.

Not that there's anything wrong with that,I enjoy stillhunting very much myself.

I scored another hang on stand on my friends property,more trespassers setting up for Saturday. Bastards. 

Property is well posted,but some people just don't care about that at all. I think Saturday will find me sitting not very far of the property line where the trespassers like to enter. If I don't get a deer,I am sure I will get to kick a person out.

This might work well if the wind is out of the south,my hunting property is North of  where the group gets in.

A little longer than a half hr but not much, the best part was I saw a buck from everyone of them today.

Good luck on catching the trespassers but then again hopefully you don't see them.

Thought id be only one to see a turtle from my stand. I saw this guy on November 10. It took him from 215 to 440 to crawl 20 yards to creek. That was all i saw that evening sit, but it kept me entertained.

Well...I am not sure if the deer gods are punishing me for such a good season last year or if my new crossbow hates me. I sat in a stand for the evening sit i have never sat before. Just about 4:15 I was thinking nothing this evening and two second later I hear a noise...look behind me to see deer moving through so I stand and turn to watch 5 doe 60+ yds away move through. I stay standing hoping a buck would be following but nothing. As I turn back forward i.catch movement coming in quickly from my left to right getting closer. I see bone and it looks like decent rack. He goes into some thick stuff on my right and I can see enough of him to know he is there but can't make out the rack. He is just in front of a tree that I ranged earlier at 33yds. He steps out and is looking directly my way so I can't see points but I can see his bone is at least 3 inches past the ears. I quickly decide I am happy with that no matter how many points he is..line my 30 yds cross hair with his shoulder and squeeze the trigger. I see the lighted nock flying toward him like it is slow motion...mysteriously hit something and careen into a tree at least 10 ft from the deer and he trots off. I sit down disgusted for the last few minutes and replay it in my head about 1000 times. I don't know what the bolt hit. I was so disgusted I didn't look. My lighted nock went out when the bolt smashed the tree. I will check it all out after my morning sit...hopefully he will come back in the am...

Finally I am getting back to the woods. I'll hunt last two of bow and first two of gun. Hunted Columbus Day with my kids for their youth hunt without seeing anything. Went back following week three days still did not see anything. Plenty of action on the cams.

Hopefully they are moving day time this time. Anyone hunting 4R?

I can't brag because I lowered what I normally look for..that said 5pt down gutted and waiting for me to return with the Gator...5yrds double lung and he went 100 yrds, after a mule kick ,short run then walked away tail down and wagging like mad.......small 5 but the size of a nice doe..which I was hoping were the ones that ran and stopped 10 yrds in  front of me . It was the triplets ,yet again ,but then I heard his steady crunch....crunch...crunch coming in directly behind me...I knew it to be a buck but not the size. I said don't even look it's going to be bigger than those fawns..went in a bit back for he was in a stride, and I had to be quick not to spook the fawns shouldering the bow...... but it came out behind his elbow. Well the work begins ...he was just loaded with engorged ticks...

I'm back ..like I said a little guy but it's meat in the freezer and doe just don't want to show...he actually has 6 small points but I don't think that one is a legal point? I don't know how that works..I know 3 in for a spike... Well I got to get him hung skinned and quartered before the rain....pulled cards...still some OK bucks around and some doe just at midnight to 3am

      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!
