Ha, saw one yesterday as well. Felt bad for the thing in gale force winds and snow  Time to fly south little one

I counted 30 some ever since last week of October. They flew in from Canada showing me their passports as they flew by. I was stepping on small grasshoppers jumping around on Friday with temps in the low 70"s.

Saw 5 deer on Saturday, some were so close I could have had headshots with my handgun. The biggest one was a 4-pointer so I let them all go. Yesterday did not see a single one! Now I'm starting to regret not shooting...

Don't take headshots ! Nothing good will come of a shot a little off mark, Aim for the boiler room as it's a bigger target anyhow. What caliber ?

Hunted the blizzard, got blown around til 8am.  

I got down and tracked for 3 hours got within 5 yards of 2 different does but I am not good at jump shooting I never fired.  

I was crawling under downed apples and thickets.  Was fun and tiring.  

Was hot on a good bucks fresh trail with a piss soaked print and all but he went off the property:image.jpegimage.jpeg3 fresh rubs in this pic, 5 where I was standing there.

Watched a deer in the brush at 30 yds for 15 minutes thinking "I'm gonna get a doe for the freezer!" but something didn't seem right. I cranked up the scope and when it stepped into the open I could see the little bums in the fur on his head. Glad I didn't shoot. Pretty big for a button buck but a doe alone today should give you pause to check twice.

IMG_1658.JPGSnowing and blowing in 8H! About a foot but drifts to nearly three made for tough walking. I can't tell you how happy I am that I built this elevated blind last year! No gloves, no hat and toasty warm. A little buddy heater makes it toasty. Now, if the deer would just cooperate....

Live from the easy chair!  Not a good season so far...never saw a deer from stand the first 2 days.  Got ready for work this morning and threw out by back.  Been in the easy chair all day icing my back, can hardly walk so far.  

Hope it straightens out shortly.  I think the snow shoveling got to it yesterday/

      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!
