That's some serious organization going on separating by type. Mighty impressed. Anything in the Orange Reeses wrapper is my favorite. Ill be raiding them throughout the week. We had almost 250 kids tonight. Started handing out at 605 and turned the light out at 8. Only 8 pieces of candy left from  2- 95 pc bags and 6 smaller bags. Only handed out one piece per kid too. 

I live outside of town and have a 150 ft drive. Never had a kid yet but always leave one whole bag on the front step in case anyone ever gets brave enough!

I have also almost gotten face bombed by an owl while 25 ft up in a climber in the dark. Really scare the crap outa ya. It got within a foot of me. I couldn't imagine getting talons to the grill!

No deer seen this morning. Hit another state land to check it out for the gun season with the g/f. No scrapes, and only a few rubs, and the rubs are old.

As for the owls, I think they will eat anything they feel they can kill.

As for candy, no kids, but we bought a huge bag to pass out, and only had about 20 kids knock on the door, so I have well over 100 mini candy bars left.

Today is even colder than yesterday. It's going to be another morning of chills, and I'm hoping for thrills.

Heading to the stand from which I harvested the doe. First time back in the stand.

Hope to remember to try some "curiosity" and EverCalm before I climb up.

Good luck and be safe afield, folks.

Saw a bunch of deer on yesterdays sit,none I wanted to shoot though. There were at least 4 different 4points and some young does. No big boy and no mature does either. I think I know what they were up to. Looks like breeding season has begun...

Also new scrapes and rubs all over,and when I checked my cams I had one picture of a real slob,so nice to see what a big deer looks like. I was getting a little frustrated with seeing all the young bucks. Seems like there are a lot of them around,should make for fun next year.

We live in the village We handed out full sized bars again this year. I can remember as a kid getting one every year so I try and share that memory. Guessing you probably hit the same place my daughter got the rock off of Aurora Ave lol
Seems like a nice morning to be in a tree today Good luck everyone and hope you find your buck Papist

Not really sure why it did a quote box but.....

 

Anyone else have the sunrise that made everything a weird color this morning?

 

Best 2 days yet so far this season, yesterday and today. Yesterday got to the stand and shortly after had a buck making a rub and had to have been mighty P.O'd at that tree. The way he was hootin' and hollerin' and carrying on with the grunt and snorts....I literally was waiting for a 600# bear to walk through. Then had another one up behind me start the same thing while another one was walking through the small plot and up the hill.

 

This morning I jumped one 30 from the stand, first time ever jumping a deer on the way in. Then had one walk down the hill 20 mins later grunting to beat hell and then had a die sneak up behind me, all under the stand within spitting distance and browse at 27 yrds. She is pretty lucky she moseyed along cause in another few minutes she would've been a Gold Tip ka Bob

Hell of a 2 days.....pretty much confirms what everyone is saying. It's definitely starting.....8Y

      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!
