I hunted with the bow this morning out back. I had a decent 8 come in at 7am. He got a pass. He'll be a nice one next year. I've been holding out for 1 particular buck and it wasn't him. 

Tomorrow is the first day of gun and I'll be hunting some town property. It's time to burn some tags.

Yesterday was slow, 3 Bucks seen.  Today I saw 20 bucks and 40 does.  I let a 140" eight point go again at about 20 yards.  I have my heart set on at least a 10 point and there is a 140" minimum. running out of time with 2 days to go.

BigPaul,

I may have missed it but can we get some details of where you are, what outfittter you are using, etc.  This seems like a hunt that I must do before I hang up my rifle up for good.  Thank you and best of luck getting that 10 pointer.

I would be taking a 140 eight before being worried about a ten point.  It takes a really really good 8 to get 140 inches on his head.  Would love to see the pic of that one!

Damn. For me, Anything 140"+ would be dead.

Where the hell are you hunting? I've never in my life seen more than 10-12 deer at a time, and this year I averaged a half dozen hunting trips per deer sighting!

Made it to Ohio. Drove through snow and ice all night but we made it. Cabin is awesome and the property looks good from what we've seen since arriving 45 mins ago. Fresh deer tracks in the yard around the cabin is a promising sign.

It's COLD here!! 8 degrees at the moment. All 3 of us decided on bringing ground blinds and buddy heaters after seeing the forecast. Glad we did because I really wouldn't want to hang a stand right now. Can't wait till tomorrow morning!

4 degrees here this morning! We are feeling good though after a nice 10 hour sleep. It's always awesome to have a comfy cabin to get some quality sleep in. Don't get much sleep at home so it's a nice change!

Pancakes, bacon and coffee getting whipped up now then we will be headed out to our blinds. Let's see how long everyone lasts in this cold, hope those buddy heaters keep us going!

      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!
