Nice! I went to Walmart to get the bigger one but they were sold out. Had to settle for the little one. Figured it was better than nothing at all! I have more windows open than I probably should in the blind right now with the heater on and it's very warm in here. I'm wondering how long a bottle of propane is gonna last. The box says 5 and a half hours but I'm kinda doubting that. Might have to run to Walmart and pick up a few more bottles

Well no luck today. All of us hunted until noon then came back to the cabin for some lunch and went back out around 3. A shot on a neighboring property spooked a few closer by my buddies but no shots.

It was frigid today. So glad we have the heaters. It's the one and only thing keeping us out there lol.

We got venison burgers being cooked right now and the beer is ice cold. After a few beers and a belly full of venison it's nighty night, back at it bright and early

My one buddy shot at a doe yesterday. But he missed. Pretty far shot through a bunch of brush so I'm told. I saw a couple yesterday morning but they were about 300 yards away. Hoping to get one today though!

A guy that lives in my hometown is hunting somewhere out in Ohio and he shot a real nice 10pt I saw on FB.

Not a lot of shooting going on around here either. The super cold temps seem to have them laying low

Well no luck on deer again today. Came very close to shooting a hog though! We first spotted him almost 400 yards away. Closest we got with a clear shot was 365 on the range finder. We tried to close the gap and we got within 70 yards but he spotted us and bolted down the hill through the thick nasty thorn bushes. Got our hearts pumping though! Lots of deer tracks so we know there's some in the area. Tomorrow is another day, hopefully will get a crack at something!

Came home empty handed last night . Another strike out in OH for us. 2nd year in a row we eat tag soup. Next year we will be trying a different area and block of state land. We did have plenty of fun and loads of laughs regardless, so the trip was absolutely not a bust.

Looking forward to next years live from the woods thread and next season in general! Stay safe in the off season folks...time to switch gears to food plotting!

We also went to Ohio for the muzzleloading season, had a great time.  We harvested a doe on Monday.  In total our group saw about 30 deer while hunting, no bucks, or no horns seen. Like ADK said, it was cold!  5 to 6 degrees on Saturday and Sunday.  Monday warmed up some to about 24, and Tuesday was a mess with rain, and freezing rain.  But that's the way it goes.  Good idea to bring the Buddy Heater, I sat in a blind twice but preferred to sit in a tree stand.  Went through lots of hand warmers, and my electric vest from Cabela's was my best purchase for cold weather.

 It was my first time hunting in Ohio and I am looking forward to going again!

My friend doctored this picture because someone said it looked like we were from a different era with our plaid shirts.  Thought it was pretty cool.Resized952017010995185615.jpg

I'll keep the thread going for all you upstaters. Trying to fill the freezer today on the island. Hunting with the bow as the shotgun process for public land is a bit of a drag and most of the deer are pretty hard to find after first week or two.

We'll set up on a great travel route as evidenced by snow and really fresh scrape. Wish me luck I'm already out of backstraps!

      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!
