Man I was so close to just calling off and staying in the stand. I told myself if I see one more deer before 9:30 I'd do that. I didn't so got down to find arrow that I miised yote with. right when I start looking I hear runnin so I ease next to the closest tree. Here come two deer. The first one comes right at me and stops 25 yards from me, a doe. She pegs me and is doing the head bob and foot stomp. The other one cuts behind me and I see it is a small buck maybe a fork. She ends up blowing out. To top it off I lost the damn arrow the ground is so soft. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Back in the stand for afternoon hunt. On other end of property from this mornings sit. After the encounter with the stinky big bodied deer, assuming it was a buck, I decided to try a drag into the stand. We will see, never done it before.

This is exactly why I do not answer the phone during hunting season...but today I did...May not be having that planned afternoon hunt...Which actually is more than fine...playing Grandma and I haven't seen him for a while...OMG he's just so cutie and growing like wild fire...I was asked the other day if he was 3yrs old..turned 1 in late August..lol

Walked into the living room ,went right to my 2 5# weights and picked one up in each little hand and started walking away with them ,until I snatched them up...I had a flash of broken little toes or feet...but SERIOUSLY 5#'s EACH!..So much fun I'm exhausted, happy and heading out for a sit over the hemp plot tonight...that is where they went  when I was in the clover...watch them go to the clover tonight...Ahhh it's just a game...kinda like River and I chasing each other around the kitchen table this afternoon...someone was bound to catch  up with the other eventually...:wink: Good Luck guys.

How do you folks wear baseball hats shooting a bow?   The string hits the brim when I try.  Doesn't matter what bow I shoot either


i never had an issue with it once, always bring the string and peep to my face, i have a 30" ata bow so my string angle is steeper than most. if anything i feel it makes me shoot better since i'm tunneled in.

Maybe it's my Shek head but others I know have the same issue.  My compound is only 32" but no chance of it clearing my brim.  Hmmm

      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!
