Back in the tree until dark. Pulled a cam on a scrape this morning and there has been 5 different bucks on it the last 2 days. Yesterday a couple visited during broad daylight, hoping they are on their feet with the cold front pushing in.

I get the same problem here and I use underground...so this is what I have to do...go to change stations and click...it gives you all the places they have weather stations in your area...we have a lot...but we also have a lot of hills, a valley and land contours...I sometimes have to manually pick my station because they haven't auto picked correctly...just did that now...went from no wind  to 13mph gusts...which may still be a tad light and my temp went to where it's suppose to be...

Ok..up at 3:46...Hunted in sleet and howling winds...cleaned house, stove...took care of all animals, took my walk,laundry...yada,yada yada...I'm having a real hard time wanting to sit in 16 mph winds again tonight. Blind or no blind. Especially when they are calling for 3mph winds tomorrow...hhmmmm I'll give it another half hour of thought.

So five hours in a stand and no sightings today, that means I have to go on every hunting forum and report that WE ARE IN LOCKDOWN!!!!! Or THE OCTOBER LULL IS REAL!!!!! 

The first snow shuts 'em down like nothing else...........that'll be the next disaster.  :wink:

I had a fun afternoon. I was stalking to my climber I left in the woods last week on a friends property,the thing is so heavy. Had to go through some thick spruce plantation and jumped something out of there,then stalked on the other side and found some nice rubs. Little later I pop over this shelf and catch movement close by. It is a buck only 40yds out. 

Bad news is he is downwind. I crouch down and nock an arrow and am trying to close the gap a little and he is alert but also curious. Then I realized there is a second deer,a forkhorn. The bigger guy comes walking towards me to figure out what he is smelling. I think he is a 1 1/2 year old,six points but not that big.

Well,can't shoot a deer head on with the bow,he got within 20 yds but never gave me a decent shot. Then they walked of and I tried to catch up and he started coming back again. This time he came to 30yds but again no shot.

Nothing to show for but a lot of fun and having learned something. I love bowhunting!!!

Well I went out and just at close  They snuck in behind me. The adult does disappeared into the hemp/bean plot and the fawns came over to the clover plot I was perched over....stuck in stand until 7pm..when the fawns were directly under me. I actually climbed down spooking just one...walked all the way around plot and garden only to spook all the adults out by the road in The pumpkin plot...

      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!
