I couldn't find a rub or scrape today. Last year was similar, the sign showed up just before gun season. It's like this property holds does but the bucks don't show up until chase time

Alright. Double swing and a miss... First opportunity at 28 yards I dropped my bow arm even after months of self coaching not to.

2nd shot. She was at 35-40 yards. Pretty darn sure I used my 30 pin instead of splitting the gap.

Neither arrow had a trace of blood.

No hair or blog anywhere near her trail.



Kind of elated and sad at the same time. Glad I didn't wound. Bummed I blew a perfect opportunity.

Doe n fawn at 10 yards but had us pegged! Kept hearing "shoot"lol

Brings back memories and making me smile of when my daughter first started tagging along with me while bowhunting. At first, I wasn't sure how she would feel about me shooting a doe or fawn. Our first time out, 2 fawns walked up to within 15 yards of us and I had no desire to shoot either of them. All I kept hearing was her whispering, "Shoot 'em Dad.... Shoot 'em!" I got giggling so hard at her, then she started! I got laughing so hard that couldn't draw my bow back! Those two dumb fawns just stood there staring at us the whole time though!

Enjoy your daddy-daughter times in the field with her!

Went to Cabelas for a very out-of-character blow-out on jackets, pants n ammo. If we are on the verge of war with Russia, I figured it was time to stock up on essentials before society ends. Plus my fav hunting pants have a hole in the Butt after yesterday. 


You didn't sprinkle doe pee on yourself again did you?

      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!
