I decided after getting up at 3:30 not to go out ...look at the above winds in bold....yep there is absolutely ZERO wind out there...I mean not even a slight breeze. I just couldn't handle the thought of more cold gusting winds once I got out there...yesterday I had to hold the ground blind down and swirl!... I'm just on the edge of giving up. Not seeing any doe during the day except the one doe with huge 6 just on the other side of road while I had a hand full of mail and always 10-15 mins past closing as I'm about to climb down and bows on the ground. Pulled card on new cam over turnips...doe bedding on and off all night,when bucks weren't there chasing. 12 yrds infront of cam.

I would be overly thrilled If I could just get a adult doe to come in for a good shot...I do not need a buck..though the teasing has been a bit much...Doe here are just so crazy hard to hunt. All summer I can walk within yards of them...after the first week of bow all bets are off...OK that's completely out of my system ...I'll go wash the Gator .... and head out this afternoon.

Due to work obligations, this is the first November 10th, I've not been hunting in a long time! This is what I've come to call the "magical day" ! This is usually the day to see a mature buck standing in an open field, blindly crossing a road, cruising the woods at any time of day, or simply appearing out of nowhere! Over 43 hunting seasons I've killed 9 bucks on this day! And have had many more "close calls"!  I envy each and every hunter in the woods today! Hang in there, guy's! It could very well get heart pounding good at any point today!!! Starting tomorrow morning, I'll have four days to try and get it done with either my bow or crossbow. I'm pulling for and sending good luck to all hunting the "magical day"!!! I'm waiting to see the harvest thread light up!

4L was dead again this morning, and I got cold just thinking about some coffee.  I did have another stare-down with a coyote pre-dawn.  This time I charged right at it, and it scampered off quick.  Saw a small rub and scrape, so that's promising. 

I think I'll head down the mountain and try and close out the day in the valley.

      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!
