Yesterday was a good day. Our youngest hunter shot his first deer ever, a respectable 7 point.  He is 15 and has a nice passion for outdoors. My buddy shot a nice doe that dressed at 121#. Buck was 112# dressed.

Just sad right now! Best buck I've seen all year comes out from behind me out right. Too far and thick but he is following the top of a drop off slowly bringing him closer. He's over 100 out but he's headed towards one spot maybe 90 I have a 3 foot clear opening. Safety off he goes behind tree I'm waiting for shoulder in the scope and get ass! 2 steps all he needed but he decided to turn down. Bummed. I bleated and grunted and snort wheezed he stopped but would not commit and walked outa my night.
Jumped one above the tower coming out as well.
Nice buck not real big but at least a 2.5 maybe 16" wide. When I first saw him I didn't think much due to the thinness between his back and gut. He musta been pretty slimmed from the rut.

2 steps he's a been d e a d
Arrrrrrrr

So today with the high winds and wet leaves Figured it might be a good time for some spot and stalk. Pushed three areas where they normally bed and didn't see much sign at all. Last area kicked out a big deer but couldn't tell what it was. Might of had a Texas heart shot but no way I am taking that one especially on a running deer. Wind finally died down so I sat in a ladder stand overlooking a field till dark. Didn't see a thing or hear one shot all afternoon. Runs they have been using pretty steady show no sign of recent use. Looks like they are just sitting tight unless someone gets them up and going.

I hunted the last two hours today. Saw nothing. Actually, i did see one today. I came within 15 feet of hitting it while driving home. :rolleyes: Where did all the deer go?

At least it was nice out. Cold, but not too windy, and even had some sun mid-day. It is amazing how much better I can see when the sun is out; otherwise, it's just shades of brown and gray over the field.

      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!
