Wish I was in the area I've been looking for good work for a while. Hard to find good honest hard work to get paid decent for. Good luck this season.


If you were in the area I'd say come on down! There's no shortage of work or good pay. Guys who do nothing but sweep the floors all day here make a few pennies under $18 a hour. For those with more ambition it's no problem to clear 70-80k a year. Good luck this season to you as well!

I can't believe how much noisier it is up top here in my brothers stand. The highway is deafening! My stand down the bottom is way more peaceful!! But the deer been moving up here and he is at work so......and the wind is good.

I feel like I'm in a game of angry birds. I hear poi poi poi and then what sounds to be a giant wing span taking off. Haven't seen what it is yet. Could be turkey but doesn't sound quite right. Scared the crap out of me before daylight.

You know what sucks.. ...when you leave a portable on state land, a spot that I have only ever seen 1 other hunter in4 years. I left it alone for a week. get there this morning to discover somebody has been sitting in it.. and another hunter and I can trade looks across a 60yd distance...That's public land..  The other fellow in the treestand probably didn't appreciate  me walking past him to get in my stand either.... this isn't the 1st time this year somebody has been using my stand though... that slightly irks me...

Got in late around 615. So far 2 does a button, spike and 5 mins ago a nice 8 or 9 pointer. He wasn't huge but he was decent enough for last day. Couldn't get a shot. He stayed in the thick stuff 40 yards out. I grunted and bleated and he could care less!! He was sniffing the air like he was trailing a doe. He was up wind of me so I know he wasn't smelling me. I hope he doubles back. Or have another bigger one come by lol.

Good luck everyone.

You're probably looking at the guy that was using it.

The alternative would've a lot worse. I'd rather have someone IN my stand than my stand not be there at all

      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!
