As I sit here contemplating how nice it is to walk out the door and hunt I sure wish i had the deer densities some of you enjoy!! I really need to get a couple new properties under my belt. The thought of driving an hour or more to hunt sounds awful.

I'll be out there Sunday. Woods will have been untouched for 8 days since my Dad's got his buck last Saturday.

The last time any of us were out on our property was thanksgiving weekend. At that point I didn't see a deer for 3 days of hunting. I hope things have calmed down a bit. I have been saving this one stand in our thick swamp it is a bit of an oasis for the deer so I'm not sure if I'm going to hunt it. I don't want to push the 130" 8 point off the property where I know he is safe.

I  went out this morning armed with one of those fancy breakfast bagels, Paula"s donut, an orange ( for the healthy side) and a thermos of black pekoe tea. Watched the fawns in a very relaxed atmosphere. They were having breakfast as I. They moved on by 7:10; right about the time my thermos tipped over, spilling the goodness. Southern arms season ends what; about December 22nd, LOL.

I work from home and have the ability to get pretty flexible with my schedule. I can be out my back door and in s stand in 15. Not the best hunting back there this year but it is what it is. I pretty much get out at least one sit most days. I try to compensate lower deer density with more hours in stand! I'm just stubborn lol.

Fletch, When I was younger I hunted a lot of the land on Sixty road, Potter RD, Long before Radison development went in, My old man and I used to get a deer every year over there, however back then there were many more hunters and the deer would move almost all day.

Its a slippery slope, next you will be posting a duck faced selfie from your bathroom mirror!

If that ever happens I'll be sure to post it here.

I Know it's not an in the field pic but I was not in a good photo condition in the field. It's a long story,,, outcome is dead deer and no trip to hospital for me needed.
I passed this buck the last Tuesday of bow because I could not guage his antlers or get an age on him with my small area where I could see him.
Him and 3 other bucks came out in the newly planted hayfield which gave me a long time to look him over before I shot. 250 yards off the cauldwell field pod system.
18,5" wide , 5.25" bases, 180 lbs dressed. i have 8' ceilings in the shop and still had to tie his head up to get his nose off the floor.

Nice- what town?

      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!
