41 degrees here. Up a for a couple hours before work. Did see a small one last evening. I got stuck on a conf call so at 4 just took a walk down the field trail out back and had a little one pop outa the brush on me. Sat four outa five mornings so far this week and no deer. Sooner or later one will make a mistake.

Leaving after work today for the weekend , I have no idea where to hunt anymore ,all the spots we have set up have been a bust most of the season.

The deer are hiding. Very well. Only way to see them now is either go for a walk or hope someone pushes them to u. Me I like to sit in the stand. Let the other people walk. I don't like shooting at deer when they are doing 90mph

I am impressed you guys can do all day sits this time of year.  Its hard enough in bow when I actually see deer.  By this time of the season its nearly impossible for me to do so.

I agree. I have a problem sitting all day too when I'm not seeing deer. The only reason I do is because I only get a few months to hunt whitetail deer. And I love to be in the woods!!  Well at least until it gets super cold

I only hunt like 1 day a week so no point in leaving the woods just to eat lunch. Especially today, when I took a day off from work.

Unfortunately, seems the deer haven't been around since early November. No pics really since they stopped eating the acorns. Just hoping I see or can kick up 6pt+, yote, fox, or bobcat, etc.

So I'm finally not surrounded by turkeys and can respond to this. I don't bow hunt yet so have to accept what weather and deer sightings are offered that particular day. Drive and hour each way so I try to make the most of it. Today is only til noon as things to do. Food is energy and energy is warmth. Thermos of coffee. And this neck warmer my dad bought me is awesome. Pop a handwarmer in its pouch. Keeps the back of the neck warm. Some really cold days I'll wrap a Thermawrap around my lower back. These few things along with motivation, stubbornness and determination keep me out here. Oh yeah , and a pocket full of tags 350d92a40b5ad7510420de1b9aae006b.jpg

      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!
