Don't the robins stay, they just tuck up into pine trees and such?

Brother said he's got a bunch hanging out. Predominantly robins main food is Yelling goat berbere wings , lol. Actually worms. They will eat some berries as well. They won't survive if they don't head out soon though. I looked. Jet Blue has cheap flights to Tampa They better get on that

I struck out today, but one of my hunting buddies had some action. Early morning he saw two doe in the field, started to aim, then saw a third doe run into the picture, being chased by a decent looking buck (8 pointer?). He then aimed for the buck but misjudged the distance, overshooting the buck's back (clean miss). Glad to hear we are having some second rut action in my area. He got a consolation prize button buck at the end of the day. He could only see his head as he passed through the thick stuff in the field

I was out yesterday for a stillhunt and had another great time in the woods. I saw nothing for the first our and then came to some hemlocks on a north facing slope,deer like to bed there and with the wind from SW I thought they would be there. I saw one deer standing and feeding and tried to sneak closer when a whole bunch of them popped up and wandered of. Maybe 7 altogether. Then I tried to do a half circle and head them off,but some moved to fast,but I did catch up with two of them. Had a stand off with a button buck but let him go. Then I continued on and saw 6 more deer and tried to stalk the last group of three and had shots at the two smaller ones,but I wanted the bigger one and she saw me when I was trying to get an open lane. Oh well,plenty of action. Going out today and I have a strong feeling this will be the day I get my last deer for the season.

You guys will laugh, but I got up and actually got my gear on. Walked outa the garage to the lawn to see how crunchy the snow was and when I came around the back of the garage a nice 20+ mph gust hit me in the face. I went back in, took my gear off and went up to the office to work with a hot cup of coffee and the gas stove on. I ain't that hungry!!

      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!
