LIVE from the woods 2016 Edition! - 7th Year, lets make this happen...

Well 18" drifts in my driveway took me 30 min to snowblow it. Never, ever seen anything like this in November.

My day is probably blown. I can't reasonably make it out there and not get stuck somewhere. I guess the only deer I'll be killing today are in a video game. The good news though is I have tues/wed off and neither appear to have precipitation, so that will leave nice big tracks for deer and I will find somewhere to park even if I have to shovel out a spot.

Live from the computer room...This wind woke me 3 x' s last night,and we have a well insulated house. To dangerous and not even close to enjoyable out there. I really don't need a buck or any deer that bad. 22 degrees with 22 mph winds even the deer deserve a break in this crud. Please be safe if your out there.

It is still blowing and snowing here in lake effect world. I don't need any deer bad enough in 28 mph winds and 40 mph gusts!! I'll see them after this blow stops! Looks like about 8-9 inches so far with another 4-5 to come.

IMO   If you have a bunch of property to hunt. Get out of stands this morning , still hunt , snow is quiet , play the wind, small stands of pines and blow downs deer may be bedded down. I have a very small stand of pines by our blind. Deer kept appearing their to browse and be shielded from the wind. Also snuck up on a bb real close on the way out hunting into the wind.  Snow was so quiet compared to potato chip walking on Saturday. Good luck to all who are braving it. Be safe driving too

The bed wouldn't let go of me this morning after doing about 4 miles of this yesterday down in 9R. Out in 9J today praying the trees don't come down.

What's the heater suit?

It's a cold weather hunting suit, like a sleeping bag with legs. No arms, it zips up to the neck. You carry it in and put it on once your in your stand/ blind. It's must have for staying warm. I use toe warmer in my boots, and put a few warmers in my pockets, zip up in the HBSuit and enjoy the hunt. Look em up online too for more details.

Took a walk out back this morning and have tons of branches and a few trees down. Due to heavy, wet snow freezing in the trees and then the 40+ mph winds. Not at all safe in our woods right now, until this wind subsidies a bit. About 10 to 12 inches of snow and thigh deep drifts. A few scattered tracks, but the deer seem hunkered down for the most part. May try to still hunt some sheltered spots later on. Got some clean up around the house to do first. Getting back to some of the out of the way set ups, on the back of the properties,  will now be much more difficult .

Yes I think snow is one thing but it's actually a blizzard out there for me. I think there is a travel advisory out anyway.

I'm baking bread and playing video games.

20" of snow and 50mph wind gusts. Screw that! I was planning on plowing out at camp today, but with those high winds and 3-6" more expected, I'm sure it would be drifted right back in by tomorrow. The lane is ~1/2 mile long, so it's gonna take a while! I'll wait until tomorrow, when things calm down a bit...

      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!
