Thx! He had a lumenok bolt like me and with the angle of the shot it should be right in the open but it's not. He thinks it may have stayed in the deer. Maybe plugged and thats why no blood?

Update: as of 11:45am he's still searching with no luck. No additional blood or arrow. Maybe plugged him.

It's been dead here besides the one buck and the turkeys.  The wind picked up a bit and now not even the squirrels are moving. Debating if I want to stalk the corn field for a while. The only thing keeping me here is the camera info I looked at last night. Here's a pic from 40 yards away from here just a few days ago at 12:30ish.

Ehhh...buys you a few more days in the woods.
Unfortunately my wife's grandfather passed this weekend and viewing is tomorrow night as I work 2nd I took the day off. Asked the wife if she cared if I went to sit all day as its Dark at 5 and viewing is at 7 she said go. Pops was a big hunter and a great man between him and my dad I hope to be half the man they are. So while I hunt tomorrow he will be on my mind. He was a 80 year old life long farmer who started the community I live in and is the reason I have the abilities locally to hunt and trap. He will be greatly missed.

Only blood is at the spot of hit. Thin watery red blood is how he describes it. No other blood or arrow found yet. He said deer walked away, stopped, then went over knoll out of sight. Maybe muscle hit and arrow still in deer?

Have to go to DC this weekend.  Think i'm going to go into work late for the next 3 working days and hunt 6:00am - 8:15am and get into the office at 930.   I feel like the mornings are on fire in Westchester.  

I've been after this 8 ptr on my buddies property for the last 3 seasons ( 5 1/2 year old this season) that I named "Thor".  Cams showed that he only came out 3 times in daylight last year and so far once this season.  I have a feeling he's beded down infront of my stand right now. :mda:

I would guess gut shot.  Arrow usually passed through.

When I show my first buck it haunched over and walked away slowly.  Luckily I was able to shoot em again and he took off.  Never found the 2nd arrow but the first one was covered in stomach matter.  Heard they typically walk off when they get hit in the guts.

Its always tough to do, but sometimes time is best. If the temps are cool where you are I would let him sit over night and return in the morning with some numbers and search a grid pattern.

I have been this a couple times helping people with shots that appeared not to be lethal- but the Rage's did the trick. 

Good luck !

Trying a new spot in 4H until dark. Squirrel just sent my heart rate soaring. Crunchy ground, no other sound. Very light breeze and unseasonably warm. A little concerned they won't get up until the evening when it cools off, and just before the front moves in.

He has lumenok on back of arrow but still can't see it. He thought he hit high. Said deer turned opposite way and walked away.

Gutshot will usually hunch up, and the tail will "flicker" a bit as they walk off. Was there a lot of hair? I'm hoping he just zipped over his back or through the backstraps and not a gut shot. If he was downhill the arrow could have gone a ways right?

      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!
