Last sit of the year for me. Finished wrapping missus presents, vacuum packed breakfast sausage and kielbasa, freezer is full and just enjoying my last opportunity until October 1, 2019. 36° and light rain in 3g.

Congrats to all who enjoyed their season and good luck to those still out there.

Sat until legal light. Saw nothing, but a calm end to the season for me. Walked around a bit where I shot two does and finally found both arrows. Bonus! Likely the last time out for deer until next October for me unless I head out to Montauk for New Year's.

Great season for me. Plenty of sightings, learned a lot (mostly that I have more to learn). Buck during bow with recurve (a first), Doe during regular season on a dmp and first December deer with a fat doe this week. Work was tough for me, but I probably hunted the hardest I ever have. I am beat.

Great reading about everyone else's hunts to keep the interest going during lulls. For those still going out there, good luck. Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year to everyone on HuntingNY.

Last sit for me tonight.  This vixen showed up in the wrong place at the wrong time (with 5 minutes of legal daylight to go).  My wife has always wanted a fox mounted to sit next to the front door.   It looks like I am done Christmas "shopping" now,  She should be happy with a freezer full of venison topped off by this pretty red.

Went out this AM for a long , last sit in 2018 and things were busy early. Just before legal time a doe came within 5 yards and hung out long enough but I decided to pass. I did the same with a small spike horn. Have my Kansas buck and NY doe in the freezer and I was hunting a large 9 point I saw yesterday anyways.  

 

Hunting clothes all packed up, gear, climbing stands, sticks, all packed up and put way with exception of some items currently hanging to dry. 

 

I am thankful for the times I had this year, in a year I truly had no idea what would happen. I hope I can do it again next fall!

  • Interesting sit  for me tonight. I had 4 doe cruise by at 3:30, then a little later two spike bucks came and hung out for a while by me. One of 'em only had one horn, but he was twice as fat as his 2 horned friend. Honestly, I was flabbergasted at the size of this feller. I seriously considered shooting him if I got the chance. His horn to body size ratio was totally whack. Anyway, only his skinny friend got close enough, so they both survived their minutes of proximity.  Definitely seeing more deer movement when the pressure is dropping. Been keeping an eye on that.

Thats just the fur matted up from the blood on the exit side.  The bullet damage don't look too bad, pass thru .45 dia hole between the ribs.   Should be easy to patch.

It's  a female.  Probably a little heavier than that.  She felt like she was pretty well fed.  I will guess 15 or 16 pounds.   There was a 14 pound turkey on the shelf next to her in the freezer and she felt heavier than that when I moved it to make room.

15-16 lbs would be absolutely massive for a fox

      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.

      Just want to relay an experience I had this weekend regarding hunting regulations and other hunters.
      I've had several  hunter's tell me last weekend(10/12/2020) that muzzleloader was open, it is not. I also had two other hunters last weekend confront me as to why my son was carrying around a rifle and hunting deer. I calmly explained the youth weekend and the rules around it. After that everything was cool and we continued our hunt.
      I know at the end of the day we're all trying to participate in a sport we love and maybe harvest some game. My thought is to just make sure you're up on your local hunting regulations. Not just so you are within the rules, but also so you can assert your right to be where you are, hunting the way you're hunting.
      I know when I have been operating outside of the regulations I have appreciated a person respectfully correcting my ignorance and I try to pay it forward by being informed and respectfully educating when required.
      Thanks for listening, off my SB...

      Hello,
      I am in the process of purchasing my first rifle to go hunting deer for the first time.  However, I have received contradicting information regarding the types of rifles that are legal.  Based on what I have read, it appears that I am able to use a bolt-action rifle with a pistol grip and a detachable magazine which holds 10 rounds.  However, I have been told that this is not the case. I can't seem to find where this is stated.  Can any one here provide me with some insight into this? I'd really appreciate it.
      Thanks in Advanced,
      Alfredo
