Thank you to all the diehards out there today posting and keeping me checking back while I should be working. I knew today was going to be slow on here which means I have to work harder and that sucks.

Just for you...I've got a doe in the brush in front of me browsing for like 2 hours. Less than 50 yards. When will she come out?

So this morning I hit a piece of state land. Nice cold frosty morning. Leafs are like walking on glass. Get in about 1/2 hr. before day light and about 15 minutes later I hear the patter of something coming in behind me. The wind is slight blowing right to left and what ever is coming is on the downwind side. Finally figured it was a squirrel so I didn't get to exited. Turned to my left and there stands a beautiful coyote 20 yards from me. Figured it had to smell me and would bolt at any time but it just kept coming. Immediately I think " I don't want to shoot this with a shotgun" so I reach down slowly and pull the pistol. It catches the movement and bolts to about 30 yds. to my left.  I let one fly but miss and off it goes.

Then about 15 minutes after that a flock of turkeys start going nuts about 75 yards from me. Didn't see any deer but all morning I am thinking:

She'll come out when you shoot her and then drag her home, NOW get in there and get her!!!

Well got a text from the land owner and was told his wife wants a fawn and he doesn't feel like shooting one so hes given the job to me. I was actually going to give away my 3J doe tag this year because I decided not to use it, but im glad I decided to keep it. First fawn or yearling that shows up is going down. Ill wait to see if a buck is following and if not ill be dropping the hammer. There is a white fawn that frequents his brothers property and sometimes his and he asked me not to shoot it. Good thing he told me because I would have definitely shot it.

live from the stand in 9A. Moderate SE wind and colorful skies. I put out a new doe in heat, antler ice, with my own dispenser using a heatpack and unscented pantyliner. If it works, I will post a pic. [original pic of sky deleted]

well, it didn't work, as I saw absolutely nothing today. but in case you are interested, here is a pic of my homemade heated scent dispenser, taking the term "doe in heat" to a new level . . . .

Well boys and girls... I know this is our NY thread, but I got it done in southwestern PA today for opening day. I wanted to share because you are my NY hunting family. Also, I shared previously about my old processor in PA. In NY, I take the deer, they fill out the sheet, and you leave. My PA processor, people hang out there. They grill FREE burgers and hot dogs and soda. It's like a party with everyone hanging out to see what comes in and every deer goes on the scale for everyone to see. I included a pic of the processor party also lol. Good luck to everyone in NY. I'll be back in 7J this weekend. IMG_3890.thumb.JPG.a57190fe43f5f9e690c99IMG_3891.thumb.JPG.46dd3eac50906ac77bf5c

Live from JFK airport. Heading back to WNY tonight, looking forward to starting my late season public land hunting tomorrow. Probably won't be in the woods early, but I'll make it in before noon. Glad to see posts with folks still seeing and taking deer !

Which part of SW PA?  I'm from Canonsburg, but hunt out around claysville.  Didn't make it this year, unfortunately ( 9 month olds have a tendancy to change your life).  Really missed it, sitting in Pike County today and not seeing anything didn't help matters much.

This past weekend only buck harvested in my group was by a rookie who never even hunted before & didn't even own a gun. He shot a nice buck @ 200 yards with a 243. He actually thought he missed... lol

Not bad for 1st timer. The next day he even saw a yote @ 30 yards and missed.

lucky SOB!

meanwhile my son & I saw zip.

saturday & Sunday - 4F - weather just a bit challenging, to say the least.

      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!
