Probably my last sit before gun. It's been an OK season. I've seen a couple shooters at a distance and haven't been able to get a step a head on their pattern. Hopefully I get an opportunity tonight. A lot of driving on the thruway today and I didn't see a single deer.

Back at work. These 12 hour shifts are getting old. Supposed to have this weekend off. Well now the guy covering me said he doesn't wanna work. Fantastic. And then on top of that I get told we have to run the mills Sunday night too. So now I'm gonna be awake for about 3 days straight. Great...


After getting out of the stand this morning I moved my ground blind over to the big field. Will be my spot to get out of the weather and take my son out for a few hours. Should of had this setup here weeks ago but I kept forgetting or didn't have time. Hopefully it's brushed in good enough. Ran out of time. Needed to get at least 3 hours of sleep before going back to work.

I sat from 2:00 until dark tonight in Cicero. I had a big 8 point at 31 yards in the field at 4:10 pm. He caught me drawing my bow back and took a few bounds towards the middle of the field. I ranged him again but he was 65 yards. Then he walked off into the hedgerow. I'll be back out again in the morning, hoping to get another crack at him.

Brushed in nicely! After working almost 30 years in commercial shops, I know exactly how you feel. Deadlines always came before time off. When you do get out there, I wish you the best of luck sir.

Thanks grampy. I hope this is the last fall that I get shafted with covering so many hours. We let a guy go back in late summer so we've been short handed ever since. Some how we can't find a single person in the capital district that can do the job of a miller to replace the guy we let go. It's not a easy job in the least, but it's not impossible. Anyone with at least average intelligence can do this after a few months of training. It's the work ethic that all of our possible candidates have lacked. We've brought in about 5 people the last couple months to see if they could do it and not a single one wanted to work. When the hell did "work" become sitting in a break room or locker room on a cell phone all day? That's the mentality these guys bring in the door. We even have "assistant millers" or wheat runners as we usually call them, who are supposed to help us when we need it and pretty much do anything we ask of them. 3 of the 4 can't get off FB long enough to look where they are walking. They are also supposed to have a pretty solid understanding of how the mills operate and function so they can take over in emergencies if needed....but our guys can't even handle their own equipment let alone my 8800 pieces of equipment. Not sure why they even keep them classified as "assistant millers". More like chair warmers they are. Sorry to get off topic....needed to rant there for a min....

Good luck tomorrow and this weekend to everyone! Let's see some bone on the ground!!!

      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!
