Made some hellish drives thru snow lately but I don't do ice.Freezing rain at 32 degrees.  Got dressed , drove 4 blocks and came back home. Gear off , on couch watching tv for a few hours. Slid thru 2 stop signs. On a straight away I gave it a little gas and almost went sideways. No sit it in the woods is worth driving on ice in the hills for. Careful everyone  and hope to join you later 

Good move ! At 2:00 AM we cut two people out of their rolled car on 490 .

I caught a "day" ot Sat. and the drive in at 6:30 was about the worst I've driven in , in sometime good thing not much traffic on Sat . mornings .

Keep the shiny side up !

Bagged it for today. Started pouring and I don't have a shed in the woods to hide in and my clothes are soaked almost to my base layer.  The fog was awful. Clear for a few minutes, then wind would gust and could see maybe 20ft in front of you. Only two of us but we both said no more for safety reasons and drier conditions. 

Buddy came across a dead doe just over the poster line. She was a big girl but think she was a little bloated. Blood trail ran across the ridge from other property within 10 yards of the line. Weird thing is, it wasn't her trail. It was another deers trail that went right past her. I think she came up afterwards and bedded there and died. She was shot in the brisket area.

yuck the ice monster. i went to Wyoming county yesterday morning.You can drive in snowy windy conditions, well a couple people could not  ha-ha dumb asses piled up on the thruway. Anyway i have a metal detector and  i think i should find the bullet that exited through the sternum of the buck i dropped last week. I think i saw the spot where it went in now that i think about it and went over it in my head. Then get the oil changed today at two o'clock then i am off to try again . going to sit in my hut for the last hour. and try to stay away from spooking anything making its way to the field.

That is interesting about the metal detector.  I was thinking the same thing about a bullet that exited out of the neck of a buck I shot from the other end (no entrance hole was required), up in the Adirondacks on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  I saved the empty 30/06 casing and I would like to find that bullet and fasten it on a board along with the casing, and the buck's cool-looking, reddish-colored, 6-point rack.  It should not be buried too deep in the ground, having spent most of it's energy traveling lengthwise thru the deer, and I know right about where it hit.  It was definitely a shot that does not come around more than once in several lifetimes, so finding that bullet would be cool.   The copper jacket should show up pretty good on a metal detector.  The exit hole in the hide was about 3/4" diameter.

Last sit of the season! Sad:( ... I did end up with an awesome buck this year and lots of good stories. And at least I'll get to sleep in next wkend!! Can't wait for spring. Food plots,fishing, turkey hunting! Well it's been fun everyone. This thread will soon fade away as less people take to the woods. It already has been. Looking forward to talking to everyone next season! Have a safe and productive off season.

Put on a few miles after lunch. Lots of tracks from the night prior nothing fresh. Put up an owl and a grouse. The grouse about gave me a seizure.
Back in the tower for last watch. Lake effect coming down. Wind was howling but seems to be letting up some.

So my dad dropped me off today. He retires in a week and will be spending the fall/winter in florida . He won't be hunting anymore , I made a point to thank him for 25 years as my hunting partner and mentor . I had to keep it short and sweet ,I know it was emotional for me and i could tell it as for him a little bit. We never really express feelings like that ,never have.

      Gun Hunt in 3G, 3F, 3N Help
      By Raul2145
      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!

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      Any good spots within an hour of New Paltz?
      By Toth9050
      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

      Rocky Point
      By Raul2145
      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!
