It can all change in the blink of an eye.  I've been blinking a lot the last half hour.  It's cold out here. Says 39 but I doubt that

So turkeys can see good right?  Can they hear and smell good too?

Turkeys can't smell. Heck, if they could I'd never kill one. You think a deer has good eyesight and hearing ?! If there's turkey around deer should be more at ease as them birds can hear and see like no other

It's taking me forever to skin this deer...I do as much as I can before it feels like someone has dropped my fingers into a vat of boiling oil...then I have to run in and run them under cold water to luke warm so the  the pain goes away...My Gosh it's cold out there and the deer is colder!

All of a sudden a big one with a long beard was right in front of me and I went to grab my phone for a pic and he was outta there

If only I had a  doe tag for 4L...

While on the ground, I had a doe walk a half-circle around me at under 10 yards.  She looked sooooo tasty, and a couple/few years old.

I've never had a deer be curious enough to walk around me like she did.  She wanted to know what in the hell I was, and bolted after about 15 minutes of checking me out.  She and two others bounded off, but without urgency, tails flagging. 

I waited a few minutes, and it was past legal, so I unchambered the round, and right at that "click" of the cartridge popping out, I heard a blow out, and turned and saw the three of them bounding away again, this time with haste.  They doubled back on me, and were 50 yards behind me when I slid the bolt back.

Great experience, but I'll have to let that spot go for a while, maybe until late season.

      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!
