So yesterday in stand super early not to bump any and a deer walks by about 20 yds away in the dark. Still too dark to see what it was as I could only make out the outline of its body...well it ends up walking in front of my trail cam so after doing an all day sit and seeing nothing else...all day, I check the cam. It was actually 2 bucks walking together, a medium sized buck and I think that 4pt I keep passing on. So back on stand super early again today for another all day sit...hopefully that medium sized buck will be a little later today and walk by during legal shooting light. Also had the 7Pt I've been after on cam from the night before ... came by about 40 minutes after shooting time. Good luck everybody!

Maybe try a bleat? Or grunt to keep their interest!!?

You read my mind, as the deer walked up to the pines I did two soft grunts. Hopefully it keeps that deer close until daylight but another deer just walked in from behind me after I grunted. Hopefully they stick around until daylight. That first one was so close, about 15 yds I could hear it peeing, so there's some freshly laid natursl scent too ... LOL

Catching up on what everyone has been seeing...congratulations...rockspec....doebuck...growalot...and everyone else that got a deer down..this will likely be my last Stand sit of the season. We usually do drives the last weekend.  I haven't seen a deer since the rifle opener.

Gotta love it ... Hot chocolate on stand, no wind finally, turkey talk from roost before flying down and now hammering away on the ground, a doe has already cruised by...just need a shooter buck to present a shot during daylight

Got out a bit later this morning. Bummed my son is sick. He had soccer yesterday so was planning on and all day today. I knew it wasn't good when he fell asleep at 5pm and didn't want to get up at 5am! So I eased in at first light back to near where we were opening day in 8F no snow and about 32. Cmon deer my freezer is in sad shape! Glad lots of you are starting to see more movement it gives me hope!

Was ready to a close property for a few hours...but made the call around 5:30 to stay home. Tis the season for the family to get sick one by one and right now the wife and 8 month old are coughing and sound like crap. Good luck to everyone....today should be labeled "fill the freezer" day!

      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!
