Good question , a couple  weeks back I quoted a post, but decided not to, post my reply.

Ever since then , if I wanted to reply to this thread  on my I pad, the quotes were there , I could not get rid of them. Just now  I backspaced over them and thought that got rid of them.

So, I climb up into my stand and the first thing I see is a doe walking away thru the corn at about 40 yards. No shot so I just watch her walk. After settling in to my stand I pull out my phone and read a few posts on here. Just as I put my phone away, here she comes back out of the corn! Walks right by at five yards and stops to smell my tracks. No shot. She walks out to about 15 yards and I pick up the bow. At twenty yards she turns left and I hit the release. She paddle wheels her hind legs and lets out a bawl before running off. I watch her go out of site about 40 yards away and hear a crash! Writing this while trying to be patient. 

The great thing is that, even with an average size doe, this never gets old! Still feel the adrenaline rush! Lovin' it!

Hopefully, more later. 

Patience! Only been fifteen minutes.

How old is she ? Just bought my daughter new stuff as she outgrew her old. Mine is 5-4" and 14. Be happy to send you her old and a pair of nice boots too if they'd fit.

Congrats on everyone that got a deer today.expecially the young guy.love hearin that 


Agreed!

Great seeing all those harvest shots today!

Got out for an evening sit in a new spot along a creek. Risky spot, it's near a road, and across the street from a house set back a ways.

We get into the last 20 mins of light, and the neighbor decides to take his young daughter for a joyride on his tractor. She's screaming out the time of her life, and I see a deer pop out of the thicket I'm set up in. I grunt and wheeze, and the deer stops a few hundred yards into a hardwood clearing. I couldn't see headgear, but that body was big... Deer kept giving me second thoughts, but had enough of the tractor and screaming and bounded off.

I'm on to this one... I think this is the fella with the scrape line... Hope the wind is the same soon.

      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!
