LIVE from the woods 2016 Edition! - 7th Year, lets make this happen...

Well after hunting last night and the debate I decided to pack the truck and head up to camp. Was on my favorite ridge at daybreak and watched a nice buck coming around the draw I waited for him to get passed me and I ran over the hill to try to cut him off while working my way down i watched him bump a doe and give a little chase. I hurried down to the edge of the swamp and got into position. It worked perfectly for her at least she got writhing 5 yds and I was already at full draw because I heard it coming. I thought she was the buck because last I saw her she was heading the other direction.

Oh well great time running and gunning in the big woods.

On another good note I found a place where I get 3G and I'm only a couple miles off the road.

Well I looked for my doe from last night. I can't find her. Followed the blood trail into the thick nasty stuff and have been pulling thorns from my body for the last hour. Lost the blood in the thick stuff. I backed out and circled to the other side to see if I could pick up the trail again. No luck.

I hate losing deer. First time this has happened in years.

They will hide like crazy.  I only clipped one lung yesterday.  We waked past her 3xs. She was 15 yards from where blood stopped under the thick wild thorn bushes.  She even burried her head under a log.  I would check that thick stuff real good how was the blood?

Blood was great for 150 yards. Then started thinning out. I zig zagged all through the thick stuff trying to find her but no luck. If she made it past there she must of crossed the road down into property I don't have permission on....and the guy who owns it isn't exactly friendly. I can't confirm with a blood trail that she made it that far so I'm not asking the guy permission to search around for a doe.

If you had that good of blood for 150yds she is dead. I bet she is tucked up under one of those prickers. Any deer search around?

Got help. We found the blood again and took it across the road. Where we found her. Alive. Shot was high and back a hair and looks to have missed the vitals. Hit that sweet spot just below the spine. It was a steep angle shot so I'm not surprised. I've seen it happen in a antelope before. We watched that sucker walk for miles before we figured out he would live. My doe saw us and bolted. Was hardly any blood the last 300 yards so I'm assuming she will make it.

      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!
