Who the heck in their right mind gets married during hunting season. Don't they know this time is important. And then make me a groomsman none be less so I have to be here all weekend and not even get one sit it..... Gosh some people

One of my best friends got married the last week of October a few years ago. Made me best man so it wasn't like I could even no show. And the worst part was I was out in Kansas hunting at the time! I hate flying so I drove all the way from KS to mayfield ny and went back a couple days later. I knew about this wedding like a year in advance and I tried allllll dang year to get him to grow a set and tell his old lady that the wedding needs to be in September instead lol.

Congrats Stone and AT...So this morning seems to have had a theme...for I woke a half hour late due to alarm not going off...actually some how got on vibrate instead of sound...any ways I ended up only 15 mins late...didn't bump anything on way in and the wind was blowing good. Sat in Garden blind and saw...ABSOLUTELY ZIP!..lol Notice caps...well that's because I pulled cards on the way out at 8:50. Tummy was not co-operating....they started at 17:11 last night and fed in the clover plots until 2am and then poof gone...while I was...down the hill seeing triplets and nothing else...They are winning this match thus far....hhhmmmm

Well I went for it. I was kneeling down with a good sized tree between me and the birds. I peeked around and a good sized hen was about to step out at around 25 yards. I landed back and drew my bow...she saw that apperantly. Next thing her and the flock are walkin away. One walked through a window at what I guessed at 40 yards and I shot, got to watch my nocturnal go right over its head...paced it off, 32 yards. So I  go find my arrow and the arrow somehow snapped right at the broadhead. I have extra broadhead just not arrows... damn

So I decided to do another grunt/rattle sequence so I stand up give a quick look around and start...as I turned in my stand trying to make sound like the deer are moving I'm like that looks like a deer. Bring up the glass...yup...big lone doe looking right at me....she didn't blow out of there but new something was up....that was at 10 am...as I was typing this is had a momma and fawn come down the top of the ridge in front of me to my left about 11 o'clock...at about 20 yds momma cuts right in front of me and feeds to my right less than 10 yds away...ozonics pointed at about 2oclock....they had to have fed through the ozone..when momma gets to about 3 she notices me and is staring right at me...fawn still about 2 o'clock...I am frozen and I am trying not to even blink as she is testing the wind...After what seemed like a forever staredown she decided I was nothing and moved on with fawn in tow...they are about 50 yds behind me...

This sucks steped  on rock the other day now heel spur flaring up . So I'm staying out of the woods for now let it rest before it gets worse .  I think I have to get some padding in my shoes or something.  So annoying I can walk but it's not something I want to make worse ..

      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!
