3N: My Dad said its 15 degrees with some wind. He saw nothing all morning till 10am, so he took a slow walk through the pines with his xbow and snuck up on 2 does and 2 fawns all together, no bucks though so he passed. he's staying till dark hoping for a buck.

Saw the same group of doe, this time a little further than last. I had moved closer, but they were a good ways over the property line. I think there was some chasing again right around 4:15. Lots of running through the woods. Probably would have missed them entirely if it hadn't been for the snow on the ground.

Hope everyone is warming up... Toes and fingertips felt frozen solid. Painful, but easing up now.

Well my 2016 deer hunting season ended with a whimper instead of a bang. I "think" I saw one deer 200 yards away close to the road, but could not locate in my range finder, so I think it may have been a deermirage. Sat in the cold for a total of about 7 hours. It was a good test of my "very cold" gear. My head and face held up surprisingly well. Feet and body did OK. My weak spot was my hands. I don't like to wear bulky gloves. I had on thin neoprene gloves, hand warmers in my pockets and a muff warmer. As long as I kept my hands in my pockets or muff with the hand warmers, I was OK.

When the sun came out in the afternoon, although only about 20 degrees, there were a ton of orange-chested birds swooping around eating berries and/or wild grapes. The field was much more alive than you would expect on such a cold day.

Well, tomorrow I will round up the cameras and seat cushions, and put the UTV in storage. As a Cubs fan in my youth, all i can say is "wait till next year".

To all my friends here and especially Luna'

This is the first time in 37 years that I have not shot a buck and probably over 50 years since I went without fresh venison in the freezer.  It was still a great year for me.  Spent some time in ladder stands, some in ground blinds and even a little time sneaking around the back forty.  To all that filled their freezers, congratulations, to those like me, find a friend and raid his freezer but most of all to all of the guys and gals on hear, my wishes are for a safe, joyous and happy holiday season and to Luna, you are my favoriteSee all of you next year,

Poppy

So I had a fun and long day in the woods today on stateland in fingerlakes. After 2 hr drive this am I made it to stateland with a buddy after a few 2 man drives we were walking back to truck. When we noticed a deer in a bush. Within 20 feet of it I assumed it was wounded and was now just finishing the job for someone. Anyway needless to say I pull it out to find no wounds apparently it was just thought it was invisible. But it's another tag closer to tagging out. 1 more day tomorrowd8c9d982be609ff6ef844ad9c3a9b6c9.jpg

I am headed out for the last day,looking for one more deer. Mostly looking for fun in the woods though.

Have seen a lot of deer this year,hope they are where I will be today as well.

This was my best season ever with the amount of deer seen and how early I started filling the freezer. No big buck for me,but that is ok.

From the recliner. Gear packed away, guns cleaned, crossbow unstrung.... and I'm fine with it. Not a great harvest year but a good year with my sons and friends. We secured a new spot after finding out that there's poaching on and very near our lease and we're looking for more land to lease and learn.

      Gun Hunt in 3G, 3F, 3N Help
      By Raul2145
      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!

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      Any good spots within an hour of New Paltz?
      By Toth9050
      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

      Rocky Point
      By Raul2145
      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!
