Well I think I'm gonna be missing out the last couple days. I came down with a nasty chest cold Saturday morning and it just got worse through yesterday. Both my little guys are sick too. So I sat inside with them all day yesterday and even had to call off from work last night...which I never ever usually do....but this is the sickest I've been in years. Feeling a little better this morning finally but the wife is yelling at me saying I gotta go see a doctor today. Bummer.

Even though I didn't go out to hunt yesterday we did see a couple deer. They were circling my truck looking for the corn they are smelling lol. I have about 600-800 pounds of corn in the bed of my truck that I still need to unload into the corn bin I have in the chicken coop. It was funny as hell watching those deer circle my truck trying to find what all the birds were eating out of the bed. 955e4303f4eb1080f2b45e4b4279525a.jpg

Good luck to everyone on the last day and congrats to everyone that had a successful season (no matter how you define it!) I will be becoming much more productive at work again with the closing of this thread. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my online friends and hunting brother/sisters.

Frankly, this kind of weather will never tempt me to go out there. Even still-hunting where you are moving around a bit would be challenging to put up with. No deer is worth the pain and anguish of that kind of torture. For quite a few years now, I have successfully reminded myself that my deer hunting is meant to be recreation. It is supposed to be "fun". Sitting there watching my skin freeze is not fun....lol. No one in this household is counting on venison for sustenance. When the day comes that I need venison for survival, maybe then I will re-set the goals and ground rules.

Now would that be considered baiting being that it was in your truck and not on the ground? haha Be careful you don't hurt that Ford with all that weight in the back!

Well my cousin brother and I were out to try to get my cousin his deer. We were about to start the drive to him and boom. He called me and said he wasn't sure if he hit it. I got to him and we had a couple little drops of blood. I sent him around in case I jumped it. After about 150yds he jumped up in front of me and I shot him at 15yds. Great way to end the season with family dragging a deer. 54f52d701deb7f8d0e64855caa659b6f.jpg

Gonna hope the deer decide to travel to the open fields to graze and hopefully we get a poke at one!

I only made it about an hour before my feet were so cold they hurt, was only 3* when I left and 8 when I got back to the truck. Got to my truck and all it does is whirl, won't fire and start. $%^&  me! Check the back and sure enough I had some gas treatment. Poured treatment in the tank, rocked the hell out of the truck, waited 5 minutes and it started. One of those times when the sigh of relief almost makes you want to dance around.

 

Good luck to those staying out the whole day or going out for the afternoon.

 

Again, congrats to everyone who filled tags.

      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!
