Great morning here. Sat a buddies property and stuck a nice doe. Got her back to the house and hung up. Debating on whether or not i should let her hang until tomorrow before butchering. It's supposed to get to 50 here today. A little on the warm side. But it is gonna rain and then cool off into low 30s tonight and stay in the low to mid 40s tomorrow. I'm thinking it will be alright to let her hang overnight.

In total I saw 5 deer. A button buck early on and then the group of 2 does and 2 fawns came in around 8. Appeared to be the biggest doe was the momma and then the doe I shot was kinda off to the side on its own. Looks to be around 2 years old maybe. But 4J tags are unlimited and my freezer needs fillin! So a hypodermic she took to the lungs. Made it about 60 yards. Stopped and stood for a moment. Fell over, gave a couple kicks and was done. Arrow was sticking straight up in the ground with the lighted nock beaming. Text book morning. Feels good when things go smooth and right.

Congrats on the doe ADK.  She should be fine hanging overnight and tomorrow if the temp stays under 50.   I cut up a doe on Friday that had hung since last Sunday (the temps were in the mid 30's to mid 40's the whole time).  My daughter and I had the tenderloins for lunch yesterday and they were about the most tender I can remember.   The week prior, I took a doe up north in the really warm conditions, and I dropped her off at the processors in Lowville.   It was nearly 80 then so I had few other options but to let them skin it and get it into their cooler right away.

Found and followed blood on the doe from last night. We found where the deer bedded down. Then it gets interesting. Found area all torn up and fresh blood. Twenty yards away a gut pile. I'm guessing a hunter this morning jumped the deer and put it down. Sucks that I didn't get to recover it but at least it didn't go to waste.

I'm sitting here laughing about it...morning total bust from start to finish rain showed 2 hours early...that doe,and I'm AFTER HER NOW!...hahahaha. I was thinking on my walk up ,seeing nothing on lower cams...that this just  may be one of those bust years for me...can't remember the last time that's happened but at least I know there are a couple of bigger guys around...though I heard the neighbors 4wheeler slowly driving at his place...he may have connected on one of them..That's OK...One more guy out of the picture just before the action heats up:wink:

So at about 1055 I just lowered my bow and unhooked from safety rope...I hear something, look towards the sound, and see this little 6 pt walking through. He ends up going by me at 20 yds and hangs out for a few minutes in front of me...close enough where I could hear him peeing on the leaves. Man I'm glad he wasn't one of the shooters.

      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!
