Boy I sure do love these pop up ground blinds for days like today. Nice and warm in here. 30 and 20 something mph winds. About 2-3 inches and still coming down....sideways. My buddy is up here hunting my place today and he chose to hike back in to a ladder stand in a big pine on the edge of the swamp. He's gonna freeze lol. We're gonna for a walk around 830. He will push the swamp towards me and i towards him till we meet in the middle.

Love gun season with some snow! Good luck to everyone today!

Congratulations ! Wow, what a beautiful buck! And I'm sure Dad was there. Nice job!

Thank you Grampy...still out of likes...I realized after I posted this people were going to think my dad is gone. He is still very much with us, just no longer hunts. In the 10 years or so that we hunted together I never got a buck that we could celebrate together.  When I get a deer he is the first person I think of and wish he could be there for that special moment in the woods. I talked to him last night and sent him some pictures. I think I make him feel bad when I tell him how much I wish he was there with me. At least I still get to tell him all about it over the phone...and trust me...he will hear the story again when I see him...

Up until 11 PM last night there was NO snow in the forecast at all, woke up at 6:00 with our little one and poof, 4-5 inches of snow.  Had I known this my butt would have been in the woods.  Forecasting is an imperfect science, but they really got this one wrong in 3M/3J.  Argh, won't be able to get out today since I committed to tasks with my wife and some play time with Peanut.

Back at it this morning in 8g. It's cold,windy,raining,sleeting and snowing depending on what mother nature wants at the moment. The umbrella is up and all the warm clothes are on. I'm going to stick it out until at least lunch and decide from there.

      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!
