Me and another guy got into two nice spots by dawn, and even quite protected from wind but no movement yet. Pretty chilly out here. Was hoping all the shotgunners on this land would kick some deer our way but no luck yet.

Dead calm In Friendship.

Morning guys and gals.  Hit a nice 6 at 735 this am.  Winds were calm in 9P.  32 yards, hit him a little back, more like center of body.  No pass through, fletching was 8 inches" out.  He ran hard 75 yards and slowed down in thickets.  I will give him 5 hours, hoping for liver.

Well first hunt cut short due too some stomache rumblings but it was nice to check out my stand and make sure it was good and hunt for 2 hrs .. had a yote go trotting by couldn't get him to stop or I would of dropped his @$$ .. found a line of scraps all the way to my stand the last 40 yards so I'm pretty stoked about the next hunt whenever it is .. good luck guys it was a perfect day down at my land

Sorry to all but I've been watching this thread and can't bite my tongue anymore. I don't understand what is with all the younger deer being shot here. The DEC had an article this year called LET THEM GO AND LET THEM GROW.  Now I'm sure you have your reasons and you have the right when you purchased the license. I don't know I'm just venting cause my I'd like to see NYS have more and bigger deer and I know the shotgun hunters don't give a hoot so it's up to the bow hunters to be responsible. That's all I hope I don't ruffle anyone's feathers

It's easy for someone in new York state to type a memo and send it out ,is New York state gonna fill these guys and gals freezer with meat for the next year if they wait for a big one that doesn't show?

It is my belief that a hunter shouldn't tell another hunter what to shoot...as long as it is legal..if you arrow a BB and are happy about it....good for you!

I'll state this just speaking for myself. I hunt to provide food for my family first, then if a good buck in my book comes by I'll happily take him. I'll be the first to congratulate anyone on any deer kill especially during bow season. I'm not a fan of pushing my thoughts on other hunters, shoot what u want, if u have a tag for it. I'm trying to let deer in my property get bigger but I only own 43 acres of huntable land. Deer can and will be shot by others walking off my land. Get off your high horse and be happy that fellow hunters are being successful out there.

Well for one you may only see or get a chance to shoot only one deer all season odds are against you getting anything that is the biggest reason I'm guessing  and not everyone is a, horn hunter . If you go look at dmp success rate it's only 1 in 10 that fill there  tag

Because everyones trophy is different . Some guys may only see that particular deer all season. Can't eat horns. They've got DMP's. Limited time to be able to hunt. The list goes on . Same reason some guys will shoot a jake versus a tom.

Just curious - you will only shoot a buck that you age at 4 1/2 years or older?

      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!
