I can't believe I never thought to put a blind in those grapes before now...from the day I put it up ...nothing even glances at it...I even decided to remove the screen ..I wear all black while in it..and there are no other windows open so little wind gets to it..The grape vines line each side and are still in leaf and very thick...so It's totally dark...I'm always in the garden with trailers and big barrels equipment...I knew nothing I do there seems to phase them.

It is raining quite hard and will be all day. Should I try my luck at still hunting again? I know it is easy to say yes for another person but it is a bit miserable out there.

Edit: oh why not. Weather is crap maybe I will get lucky. And at least I can feel badass while trying.

Mid-day still hunting in rain, what could be easier?

I just got back it is raining hard here went to try and find arrow from last night...no dice did about 2 hrs worth ox circles no arrow no deer no gut piles or hair must have missed clean and buried arrow. Bummer... gonna set climber out there Sunday and sit if I can then hunt it hard Monday and Tuesday. They will be back they are eating the nuts had thru there. Back to work wensday for me. Goal was 2 deer while I was off to make the rest of season easier.

Personally core now that I've been out there I'd go not bad in woods just make sure shot is true bc blood will be impossible in this

Yes, other day checking cams in very high winds I walked up on 2 does ,minute later 2 decent bucks and 10 minutes later I bumped a slob who slowly trotted off. Wind was blowing at me the whole time and leaves on forest floor were wet and made for very quiet walk, leaves also covering the sticks which normally would snap under foot. Walk slower than you think slow is.

ha, the longer I sit at this laptop the less enticing this weather looks. Gonna do it, will go to a close property though just so I can say I did. Won't make a huge effort out of it. Will move slow, should be nice being "silent" in the woods.

I'm still waiting to hear from my buddy to see if we can get out on the hill,Cuba got slammed with rain and his Creek turns nasty in a hurry. I could be in for a weekend of bridge retrieval . As I was typing this is got a text message saying the bridge was washed out ,looks like I'll be rebuilding a bridge this weekend.

For you guys hunting the ADKs  noticed most seem to camp out any reason why is it just for the thrill of it or to be closer to your hunting spot or do  hotels just suck up there 


If you have to ask why many of us choose to have a camp instead of staying at a hotel you wouldn't understand. A camp in the remote wilderness with propane lamps and a crackling wood stove is the greatest place on earth. I'm sure there are other areas that have the same traditions but I know for a fact that the UP of Michigan has very similar style of camps they call them "yooper camps."

Well that was interesting! Saw a break and n the rain, I hope. So sneaking out to my stand and round corner and take a step or two and catch something outa the corner of my eye and freeze. Two yotes side by side 25 yards from me. One noticed me right after I stopped. I was froze in the wide open. They trotted off. Man if I noticed them a step earlier I coulda run one arrow through the two of them! I went over to see what they were picking at and all I could find was a bunch of fallen berries. Hope I run into them again with a broad head or a bullet!

      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!
