Well camp was a bust today saw 5x more moose sign than deer. Didn't even see a tail today and covered about 7 miles. Had to come home for a few hours now I'm repackaged and heading back up for a couple more days. This is my last chance of the year to get one in the ADKS with the bow.

*sigh*

Found a new spot which I think is really nice. Tons of visibility. Sat from 5-sunset. Saw nothing. Came down the tree, was packing everything up, and then a deer walks within 10-20 yards in heavy brush. Course I could do nothing at this point. They got very lucky tonight!

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? 

I read this post yesterday and was at work today and saw this ad. Said it works for anything. Check it out.

Problem is it is only Bluetooth by the look of it. What they coin as "crowd gps" is nothing of the sort.

There was a company making--not sure it ever came out--a similar device with REAL gps and a few mile range. If you went out of range from it gen it would work like a true crowd gps; as long as it went by somebody else with a hub it could use their hub and ping you its location. Would be amazing embedded in a tree stand cushion but don't think it ever came to fruition.

Anyone ever use grass cuttings as a cover scent? I sat my new stand spot tonight. Feels good, but no deer . I had mowed the lawn earlier today and decided to bring along a bag of the aromatic cuttings to act as cover scent. No deer meant I could not gauge a reaction.

I mow under my stand all summer long and continue to do so except I blew a belt the other day. My deer are use to it.

Just saw a red tail swoop down and miss a chipmunk.

Nothing seen so far, but some little thing scampered by before light, I'm thinking it was a fox or fisher cat. And right at shooting light, something was coming in slow and cautious, snapping twigs, but I couldn't see it through the hemlock.

I should have been more patient, but was trying to catch a view, and I bet it caught me moving. I heard something brush against a branch of leaves quick, and then nothing.

I feel ya, Red Tail.

      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!
