If you smelled him for a while it's likely he hangs out there.  At least from my recent experience.  Plenty of doe to keep him hanging out at the property I was at so he didn't roam too far.  Set up on him when the wind is the same next time.

Thanks, I was walking to my stand and got hit in the face with the smell. It wasn't that far off from my stand. I grunted a few times and nothing. I sat up there for about 4 1/2 hours heard movement behind me but didn't see anything.

Zip for me this morning.......all good though as I had a pile of things to get done today before the bill's game started.  The problem now is I'm sleepy.........a couple Molson's and a 'rocks glass stuffed with Crown has me right on the edge. :)

Dinner is backstrap from '15, squash and mashed potato.  We were supposed to have asparagus but my wife left them at the damned check-out at Tops.   No worries, I eat plenty of good veggies.

That sounds almost like the afternoon I got snorted wheezed at.  If you have a doe under your stand next time there I can let you know how to proceed.

Well we didn't see anything tonight but or other hunting partner took a small that my son passed during bow and me with the gun,, the "good news" he shot it about 3:45 so he already had it to the truck by the time we got out of the woods and only had to help him get it into the truck :):):)

This is what he looked like upright ... or sideways ...

Chilly 29 degrees. Set the GT g/f up where I sat last week, I went farther down the creek. Been sitting here about an hour now and only seen the same die and fawn so far.

LOL!  OK. Growies Kindal must have slapped my phone. Never had a typo that bad before.

I set the g/f up in the spot I was sitting last week, I was 80 yards down stream ( bet you thought that term was just for fishing ), we saw the same doe and fawn from last week. Tow more does walked right down the creek, but, no does in 5J.

32 surprise 2 inches snow. Not sure how long it will last, temp supposed to go up to 40 by 10. I have today off but most likely will go to work after first watch. Not seeing a deer in the last 30 plus hours of hunting does that to ya. Gotta see one sooner or later and possibly over 60 pounds

      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!
