Saw deer on the ride in this morning. Climbed up and watched the wind blow leaves off the trees for the next 3.5 hours. I wasn't amused. 

They had to have been moving last night with that moon. Good luck to those that can stay out midday today.

 

Hunt Broome County this morning as well. It was dead out there today.

Had a spike pass by same spot again and a nice buck 10 min after the spike grut didn't turn them. They both were walking clam no chasing. Since I call the law on the Amish deer are back in the area,no doe this week at all. Glad to see deer again

So I decided to sleep this morning and blew off the morning hunt....... Doesn't my buddy have a nice buck come through parallel to him, catch his scent and bounce......

Had I been in the stand I had planned on hunting that morning... He would have come by me upwind..... Just my luck.

Sitting my crab tree blind for the rest of the day.

Ok guys. What do deer eat when the farmers take down all the crops? And the acorns didn't do well this year. Now what is ther food source?

From the cams and the fact they just did 20+acres of corn for seed not silage during a strong south wind...corn...it is 2 1/2 miles as the crow fly's and I'm pretty sure they are flocking to that field. Then there is all the WW that was planted over where they had beans and corn . Lets not for get the clover in last seasons WW fields and summer oat fields...the list is long in farm country before you even consider all the natural forbs.

There is one last place I haven't hunted...and that is the middle of the property..I actually have 4 stands and 5 ground blinds there and haven't had a decent wind for it. Well now I do for one stand only...perhaps the ground blind...the stand will afford my being able to see all movement...but the blind may be what will get me into a better shot position... I'm really not sure ...there are no cams there and the plots did not do as well as I had hoped and the oaks stopped dropping weeks ago...there is a bedding area and lots of bramble still...coin toss?

I can't even imagine how nice it would be to have such predictable travel patterns .

Really Jeremy...lol that's like saying having food plots guarantees you a deer...Have you been reading my posts? Is there a deer I posted on here somewhere I forgot I shot?...

Perhaps it's like my phone and I just forgot where I put it ...please help me find it...hahahahaha

Haha, I see your point .Just having an idea of which way they're coming from and being able to play the wind would be nice . No doubt that you put in more then enough work at your place . It's probably why you have a good idea which way to expect them from.

Too be honest..I haven't a clue...This year they are not doing anything they have done in the past, with the exception of being in the swamp...though on the wrong side of me. These farm crop rotations are killing me..having the new food source of WW for them in a corn field that is normally barren  has really messed things up...Then add the alfalfa and new clover in the oats right next to that WW and pine plantation, there is no need to travel.  They have everything they want all day and the room to hang in the plantation...even the bucks aren't driving them...I've never seen the neighbors swamp so dead and ours is just a pass through to a farm down the hill. I still have turnip greens and tons of bulbs ...That's unheard of this time of year here...

      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!
