Your pic shows why I hate tracking deer in maple leafs...look close...you swear some of that red looks like dried splattered blood...:wink: Ohhh! that and golden rod...When in golden rod I have only been able to recover because I followed hooves. deepness, dirt splatter direction..real fun when they cross a ton of prints... I've walked around within feet of dead deer not seeing them until swinging around to the belly side and catching white as I knelt to look through lower stalks... Gosh I actually do enjoy successful tracking when I think on it...

I used the morning rain to move a stand by the 2 active scrapes I found last night. No camera activity on it over night tho...except for my cat. Also found a Buck bed area. The smell was unmistakably sweet. Put a camera in this area too.

So, Bucks are on their feet in daylight now. I have a Buck returned, a weird 2 pointer, but he is at least 2. He has been on my hit list for a while. I would love to take this guy with Bow if I can, get his genes out of the pool. Be a nice euro mount too.

Hey Greg, I live in SANBORN, if I can help let me know. 

Hey Mike thanks for offer to help, there was myself and friend Don who shot the deer plus my brother-in-law searched every inch of the property and didn't come up with anything at all. We all felt we gave it best we could trying find it and it was really a soaker out there for awhile but thanks for offer to help I just got home and saw your post. Time to get dried out and warmed up.

So I skip nite hunt due to steady rains. I see a good break in the radar prob 20 mins. I had a cam I pulled this morn to replace batteries. I found a scrape under apple tree by my field edge stand that is like 50 yards off the backyard I want the cam on. I just run it out quick no bow,sweatpants, flip flops...So not one but 2 grouse walk right across trail in front of me. Get to where I want to hang cam and look into the brush and 2 deer staring at me 15 feet away. Pfffft

Them are high winds to call in. Fox pro ? Scatter gun with #4 buck?  Pan with red light or spot with edge of white light ? What sounds you like throwing out there ? Good luck  I've got a rabbit decoy like thing that spins around and draws some  of the attention off me.

Old Fox pro spitfire. Daylight. Be there soon. 12 ga O/U 4 buck. Rabbit distress, red fox distress, coyote pup distress, maybe even turkey call. Have the mojo critter decoy as well. First time ever calling on our new land.

      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!
