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

Not a Dickie-bird moving this morning. On the way back to the house I did find tracks that led to a large Buck bed from last night. He walked past the stand I got my Bow season 10 pointer from. 40 yard shot. I think it is the Big 6 yr old. He keeps to the thick stuff and low spots as he travels. Noticed this before. I put a camera over the bed and along the route he took into the Honey hole hide away on the neighbors side.I am starting to get a dose of the Mobydick's now that I think he might be over-nighting in our woods. No shots heard until I started back for the house. The neighborhood firing squad has had 2/3 sessions. Always at least 4 shots fired in succession 

Also managed to lose a cam card that had 5 new honey-hole vids. That is like the 5th card I have left in the woods this year. Super annoying.

Decided to call it early. Right from the get go today was just one bad thing after another. A large dead tree falling less than 6 feet in front of my blind was the final deciding factor to head home. Had a small branch from that tree come straight down through one of the blind windows. 

 

Fortunately the window was was open and the branch just stuck in the soft wet ground.

No action from my stand, but my neighbor and his nephew just took 3 from one spot about 1/2 mile down!  It was his nephew's first, an atypical 4 point.  We just finished dragging and hanging so I'm going to eat a quick lunch and head back out.

I'm thinking of going to the turnip blind I was in this morning...but not too hopeful they will show with these winds...They can hit the low side of the farmers WW and just pop up out of the gully there...that's what I'd do if I were them. He has a wood lot between us and the gully then field ...so I have no way of catching them there un less they come off us...They aren't on us right now... they are low in the swamps and in the pine plantations

      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!
