Great buck WNY. 

All - Quick intro. Just moved to Madison County and purchased a small 50 acre property. Job had me OCONUS a few years. Glad to be back and in the woods. Shot a big doe first week of season in 7J. Passed up on smaller deer after. Haven't SEEN a deer in 3 weeks. You guys (like WNY's photo) are all that keep me getting up at 4am. Thanks for the great info you share. It's been a rough few weeks.

This afternoon has become a huge day for me! As my username says bionic, some may already know I wear a myoelectric prosthetic arm.  I set a huge personal goal for myself to harvest a deer with a bow.  I wanted a regular bow versus a compound for the added challenge for myself.  This evening I harvested a deer, it was a quick clean shot, full pass through, and I could not have asked for a better shot from myself.  I am very pleased, thankful, and words cannot express what this day means to me.  Unfortunately this deer turned out to be a button buck, I am disappointed that it was a young deer, but as mentioned earlier, the shot was more than I could ask/hope for.  This deer will be enjoyed by myself, family, and friends.  Incase you  are wondering where the tag is, its zip tied to his back leg...

Way to go Bionic.  I was after a button all last weekend with my crossbow but could not get him in range.  Nothing is better eating (I hope you saved the liver).   Don't feel bad about shooting a button.  I don't like it when folks complain about others killing them, but think nothing about taking a late-season doe (which are often carrying two bucks) themselves.   I have killed a lot of buttons thru the years, including my first deer with a gun, bow, and during late ML season. 

I have no regrets.  If I did, they would disappear at the first taste of the meat.  If anyone is heartbroken over taking a button in WNY, shoot me a pm and I will take him off your hands.   My wife and kids, who like venison as much or more than me, always get real happy when I bring one of those home.

      Gun Hunt in 3G, 3F, 3N Help
      By Raul2145
      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!

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      Any good spots within an hour of New Paltz?
      By Toth9050
      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

      Rocky Point
      By Raul2145
      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!
