Go buy some Brenneke's

Agreed.  I actually prefer KO's + smooth w/a fiber bead over rifled/scoped shotguns.  

I dropped what a thought was a doe at 100+yds last season...tiny spikes burnt my Reg tag even tho they were close cause I felt a little guilty.

My archery season is officially done ! Now I can strip this impulse 31 and get it out of my life for ever ! Anyone got a synergy for sale?

Check with your elite dealer.  I saw an elite ad where they are selling synergies for $550 new while supplies last.

Been since 2001, that I did not fill my early archery tag. Guess I'll be dusting off the TC Shadow Hawk for late season this year. That won't be such a bad thing!

End of a nice streak.

 

Went to hang a fresh target on my place to check a zero before the rain this morning and a fresh rub not 5 yds from my 100 yd backstop popped up last night. Expect its the 8 pt chasing my yard does around. With this moon they are moving middle of the night, glassed them at 3am moving through but didn't see him.

I never had a problem killing  deer with a simple smooth bore and rem sluggers  they group better then people think when using the right choke /shotgun

I switched from the sluggers a few years back after several pancakes that barely penetrated a couple deer I shot and actually just broke the knee of another that I got a second chance at a few days later after I made the switch to KO's.  IMO a quality shift occurred w/sluggers about 4-5 years ago.

Which public lands you going to rob? If you haven't tried PR yet, I would deff give that a try. A buddy of mine has been hunting PR off and on all bow season and has had shots at some decent small bucks and a lot of does. So if your looking to get your gf something you should take a walk around there one day once gun opens. Might run into me one of them days! Lol.

 

Haven't hit PR yet, maybe for the gun season. Been hunting a small area very close to home, BCM twice. Been trying to stay in 4B to fill at least one doe tag. I did get over to TP twice as well. Not sure if I am ready to hang the bow up just yet, might try a couple more morning sits tomorrow and Thursday.

Sat the am... Stood for first hour... Sat down to relax. And catch up on forums.... Read a page look around.... In the middle of reading I heard a crunch and a doe came through at 50 yards not stopping.... Stood for another 30mins after that looking for a chasing buck. No dice.. Got down at 9 and moved my stand towards where the action has been.

Never saw a deer this morning and it's not looking too promising for this evening either. The farmer is cutting the corn on the opposite side of the thicket that I'm watching. Hoping that will encourage them to head towards the corn on my side 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!
