LIVE from the woods 2016 Edition! - 7th Year, lets make this happen...

So, a disappointing morning sit in the new stand over the large scrape I found. A camera indicated a high probability of Deer action over it after 7 am, but it was not to be. Felt pretty warm this morning too. I did however pull a card over the large community scrape in the furthermost corner of the woods. This is an area by a road, where deer cross in from the other side. This camera indicated both morning and evening action every day. The two horned freak deer (at least 2 yrs old) I am chasing actually used this scrape this morning, during legal light. Gutted...

 

I have  moved a stand near this community area now for this evening and tomorrow. I am determined not to eat bow-tag soup. I really want that two horned devil !

This is crazy but apparently you will be getting quoted from me everytime I post in this thread....I thought I was going to have my second coyote of the season down..I needed him to take another step or 2 and clear a tree. It never happened...he just bolted for no reason....I was drawn for at least 30 seconds...didn't move and didn't make a sound...wind in my favor...must be a sixth sense

Back at it this evening. Rain stopped about 45 min ago the temperature is dropping with just a light breeze in the air. Only thing missing is my daughter who picked trick or treating over sitting out in the woods with me.

Type something inside the box, then type some thing outside of the box. It should work and you won't be quoting him anymore. This happened to me on another thread but I can't remember how I fixed it but think I did the above actions.

Back in the stand. Went grocery shopping during the rain and it just stopped before I came in. Walked right into a small buck 50 feet off the lawn. I was looking at the field by the tower blind he musta been bedded just off my trail. He loped away and stopped for a perfect shot outa the tower. My son will be hunting this spot in crossbow. So hope he strikes that pose again or one of his buddies!

Incidentally, I used my Silky Zubat saw today for the 1st time, to cut new lanes when moving a stand. It is a beast of a hand saw. Made short work of dead trees and thick branches. Totally awesome. Best cutting tool I've ever used.


Still playing Pokémon go?

I no sooner got to stand I see a doe that I walked by bedded in the hemp....spooked but no tail raise and no snort ..just trotted along the short side then long side of garden across from the stand...sent in under the dropping yellow apple tree. I  climbed up and waited, making sure they did sneak in on my off side to hemp without my noticing like last time..The fogs very wet and I'm getting soaked with a constant heavy mist.I look  over the hemp to the road and there is...5 pts my side and I know at least 3 on the other..he could have been an 8,9,or 10pt buck walking nose to the pavement down the middle of the road past our drives...grunting did nothing. Then at close I'm about to leave and I see a good sized deer ghost past me to the far clover plot. It may have gotten it's pic taken,so I'll see tomorrow.

Congrats, but I cringe seeing the gun barrel pointed at that kid.

      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!
