Waiting for his call.

6 pointer down. Dad blind bleated around 9am and a spike came barreling out of the pines. He passed him and then a few minutes a 6 came flying out as well. He stopped for a shot around 70yds and he dropped right there. Hopefully my dad can send me a pic, he has one of those flip phones still lol. Anyway, I'm happy for him since he's hunted like 24 or 25 full days out of the possible 28 since 11/5 xbow opener.

Not the best pic of course. But the only my dad sent me from his flip phone. He uses small tripod and timer for his digital camera pictures when alone.

Nothing so far. Winds calm. Mid 40s in 4y. Comfortable weather. Heard few shots in far distance. Just sitting here listening to the woods is enough for me even if I don't harvest anything. Waiting on the big buck only. Have plenty of meat so far in freezer.

Short version of a long story as my phone died when I wrote the first time from the stand. We started a little late this morning as he was later today than usual.  On way in, my buddy never stats to his stand before he sees two bucks chasing a hot doe across the field. He said back and forth they went across the field. Finally all three pass in front of him and he pulls up...."click"...no round in chamber. Eight pointer walks off after the doe. He tells me he said a real bad word out loud, chambered a round and then fired at the spike. This shot I heard from my stand. This time he misses at "50 or 60 yards". The spike then runs off behind my house and likely across the road, none the worse for wear. 

In meantime my other buddy in one of my other stands shoots twice, and sends me a picture of a nice doe. 

These guys are having all this action, and for me it was just a nice sit in a tree tent. Back at it again this afternoon.

I slept in a little this morning and did not get out until just after sunrise.   When I walked past the first hedge row out back, an antlerless deer (probably one of the BB's I have been after since the start of Cross-bow) bolted across a clover plot into some thick brush.   He got lucky this time. His cousin not so much on opening day a couple weeks ago.  I thawed out the other half of his liver and I am getting ready now to fry it up for lunch.  Corn-fed BB liver is about as good as food gets.    If I had been up in the stand a half hour prior to sunrise, it would have been a nice "chip-shot" at sun-up for my last DMP at home.

Doing some holidays volunteer work today. But will be hunting tomorrow to fill my DMP or push a buck to my god daughter . It will be her first with rifle. And pretty sure my grandson will be tagging along too! Looking forward to a fun hunting day!

      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!
