Well I'm thinking of calling it a season up here 2 deer seen all season and absolutely no sign of rut tried all my good spots the people who border the state land where I hunt are all baiters. All the tracks i followed today went of the state and onto private land. Id rather drink anyway with the weather absolutely sucks.snow was good if the deer would stay on the state.

Well had a half good morning half stormed out of the woods type of morning.  Almost wrecked my truck twice this morning. Once on black ice another  an 8 point chasing a doe.  Get settled into stand and about 7 i reached up to grab my antlers and saw 2 deer 70 yrds away.  One breaks down hill towards me 25yards broadside held a little low because my bow is a little on the loud side  they tend to drop and let the arrow fly.  Doe doesnt drop like expected and hit right under her. She just jumps away looks back and walks off. A complete miss.  So i see her at 50yards still, hit the grunt tube and here she comes again. This time 30yards let the arrow fly.  Didnt see the stick covering her vitals 15 yards in front of me.  This time she bolts runs away and before i know it trotts passed me again. But didnt have enough time for another arrow as i still was in shock i missed a chip shot.  5 mins after this 3 small bucks and a big buck ran a different doe across the meadow and out of sight.  Glad i saw something but i still dont know what i did wrong on that first shot.  Its been a along couple of bow seasons.  Thats 6 misses in 4 years. Not doing so hot latley. Back at it tomorrow morning.

Don’t take this the wrong way but shooting assuming a deer will drop into the arrow is never something I would do.  Put the pin where it should be and let it rip.  Even with my slow recurves I aim where I want to hit.   Can’t say I have had any issues with deer jumping the string with any bow.  I know it happens but I wouldn’t shoot expecting it. Maybe aim at heart at most.

Oh i agree. Just apparently playing it to safe happend the last 2 years to me had it in my head this one would as well. Like i said its been a rough couple of years with my bow.  Almost put it up last year for good.  Just have to get out of my own head ill get there at some point.

Hunting this weather 50 mph gust up here in the dacks no deer is worth having a tree fall on you i know what the chance of it happening. How are the conditions so different from northern tier to southern tier with the rut. I've hunted hard and haven't seen no sign. 2 deer seen the was during the first day of muzzleloading. Lots of miles out on and no ribs or scrapes. Lots of doe tracks with fawns. What am I doing wrong?I sit and still hunt. You southern and western guys have all the deer.

A little to windy to be in a tree for my liking so hit the water instead. Got some shooting in but only 1 bird to show for it.

You cut a man in half? All I see if legs and boots hanging. Where’s the torso?

Just barely starting to see a couple smaller deer on cams during the day.

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      A Hunter's Obligation to Know the Rules
      By JDN2K
      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...

      Bolt Action with Pistol Grip
      By Alfredo
      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
