I can confirm year old trail mix is edible! Also it is cold out here. Fall has certainly begun.

I double dog dare you to eat the half of random egg salad sandwich I find between end of ML season and spring turkey stuffed in my backpack . I never thought it could turn plaid with green polka dots

Wow,what an afternoon I had. I climbed in the tree around eleven along a field edge with a bunch of oaks in the woods. Sat for a few hours,then saw some deer perpendicular to me about 100 yds away. After a really long time they worked their way over to me. Looked like an old doe and two giant fawns or maybe even last years. I knew I was going to wait for the big doe.

Now the two young ones are right under my tree,but i have a bunch of branches between us,good cover. The old doe comes in and I can not get an ethical shot on her. First she quarters to,then branches in my way,then she is right under me as well,bad angle. She walks to the other side of tree,by now I must have drawn 3 times on her. Then she walks back looking around. Finally she is broadside at 12  yds,but a little tree is in the way. I am about to loose it,then a flock of turkeys comes right under my tree while the deer is right there as well. So eventually she walks of into some thick stuff without ever having given me a decent shot. Unreal,but very exciting. That is what bowhunting is all about.

So I go to do a bit of reconnaissance at the bottom end of the property. My hunting buddy has his stand down there, so I leave it alone mostly, but there are two mighty oak trees along the end property line. I usually don't hunt near 'em because it is too close to the neighbors. As I am heading down to sit and observe this area for a while, I hear crunching off to my left. The neighbor has set himself up with a natural blind about 5 yards from my line. He is clearly hunting my side, as there is nothing on his side except a thick growth of young maple and Tulip trees. He cannot be hunting into his side at all. It is impenetrable for arrows. What to do about this azz-hat? He slunk off like big foot into his own property once he realized I wasn't a deer. Didn't say a word. Wasn't wearing any tags either. I plan to post the crap out of this spot in front of his blind tomorrow. Looks to be a day of trespasser reduction activity. Might pop a stand up there too, but he would probably use it! 

And I saw a decent looking buck near this area too as I was going down.

Went to check some cams after work today and some scumbag walked off with two of my cams. My land is posted heavily. Im just amazed at the society we live in. Nobody wants to work and they think everything is free. What do I have to do put cams on my cams?

My buddy shows up, and wants to send a few arrows down the lane before heading in to the woods. First he shears a fletch. Down to two arrows. Sends a couple more down, and the peep sight pops out from the string. We pack it up and head to F&S, where The fella fixes us right up.

We're an hour behind my plan, but we're still dedicated. He sends an arrow down to sight in the peep. Shot sails over the target and the arrow snaps in two. He loses the front end, and the practice broad head. He sights in with his only arrow.

On the way in, 15 yards from where I plan to set us up, I find two large piles of deer scat, practically steaming, they were so fresh. We missed that one. We set up and settle in 10 feet inside the marsh.

40 minutes later a doe and two fawns walk the in the direction I had planned for, but on the farther trail, 60 yards out. No shot. I bleat her, and she tracks to us, but gets into the young pines, and decides the bleat isn't interesting enough. She and her fawns move along through the thick stuff, about 30 yards out.

I give her a minute and rattle quick. Two minutes later we here and see a deer jump out of the marsh 40 yards to our left, and head out. Something spooked it, and I think it was on its way to us to check out all the racket.

A minute after that, my buddy looks at me and says, "someone's coming down the trail with a dog," a huge white Great Pyrenees that stops along the trail and catches our scent. It took him a good minute (I can't believe the owner let the dog sniff that long!), and looks up to spot my buddy. We're busted with 30 mins of light left... We gave the dog owner one hell of a scare (there's a foot trail at my property line), but she laughed it off, and so did we.

Looks like we'll have to pick another day to hunt...

Busted  twice last night. Not feeling well stayed close to home.Wind gave me one option,the Apple tree stand across from where I sat in the morning. My harness was bothering my legs to the point I had to stand. later I decide to slowly slide down to sit...I hear a faint snort stomp snort behind me. I then catch movement way across the road at the giant red oak..deer getting ready to cross.Figures I'm in wrong stand. But they have time to come in and feed to the favorite Apple tree. Watch a car crest the hill and stop   ...back up and beep at the deer. WTH! I figure they'll cross but farther down. Day done I get down and step out into the open...snort snort snort from the wood line under the stand I'd sat in, in the morning...lol

No hunting today still queasy but now a head ache just short of a migraine.

Well I should be in my tree now.....but my relief decided he wasn't gonna make it in at 5am.... So I guess I'm not hunting this morning unfortunately. I'm pretty ticked off about it though. Gonna have to give this guy a ear full whenever he rolls his lazy ass in here

Build a ply wood wall on your side that blocks all his shooting lanes

Live from my office, what a beautiful morning to be in a stand, I bet!  Sorry to hear it Cory, integrity is fast becoming a rare commodity. 

Got to say, the ratio between good people and scumbags is shrinking. And this sense of entitlement some people are displaying, has me just shaking my head.

      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!
