LIVE from the woods 2016 Edition! - 7th Year, lets make this happen...

So me and the old man were hanging stands about a half hour ago and we were taking a break and sitting in the log bullshiting and all of the sudden I look to my left and a monster buck starts walking towards us.. lol "I tell
My old man look a deer !" Because he had his bow with him. He goes to dock an arrow and lift the bow up and the thing takes off running. So we put the other stand away that we were supposed to hang.. grabbing a quick lunch and heading back out for the rest of the day. Guess the bucks are cruising now

That's crazy, reminds me of a day like today. I sat till 11 and it got real windy like it is today and it was warm too. I went to put up some posted signs, was within 20 yards from one of my stands in the corner of a woods....when I look in and see a 120 inch buck walking up through the woods and going right past my stand.  You just never know when you'll see a nice one in mid Nov.

Are one of those weirdos that draws the bow with the wrong hand?



Gets more weird daily...

Right handed all my life, did the simple "diamond" test at the shop and discovered I'm left eye dominant.

In other news, I did see some beauty today, bookending the daylight. Here's now:

Rebel, nice stand, boots and bows ! 

Im a righty and shoot guns lefty , but still shoot a right hand bow . Right eye was weaker pre LASIK and i switched many years ago to left eye. After LASIK right got very good and my dominate eye switched from right to,left . Anywho.... I make it work.

Nothing this afternoon ...but I made it down to the swamp stand. I took some clippers and a limb saw ..I cleaned the trail of downed trees. I clipped and sawed wild rose and checked the stand. I found a huge bed 10 yrds from stand and up wind, perfect. There are 3 heavily used trails that go right past the stand...It is especially wet this year though.

Well I've been in the tree since about 1. Nothing but squirrels so far. Decided to dust the cobwebs off miss November and take her out for a night on the town. Haven't used her in awhile but I guess with the rut starting to turn on she couldn't hurt!

I'm a firm believer in "buy it once," and practice it every chance I get. I remember what my friend's grandfather said: "save your money and buy quality. You're too poor to afford cheap things."

Well she's practically still a virgin. Only been used a handful of times. On her maiden voyage she was mounted by a pike county Illinois swamp donkey though. He managed to get a hump or two in before my client plugged him with a slug gun. These days she collects dust in the garage but I decided to take her out tonight.

      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!
