Hey Larry check these out.
New Woodleigh Hydro in a 9.3x62.....these are some Aussie guy's I know well who hunt Sambar in the nastiest forest you ever seen. They're always lookin' for a magic pill to shoot through stuff or DRT one so they don't have to track.
Warning! Rough language in the commentary (kinda what makes it funny too!);
I work with a non hunting married lady that has a son I will be taking this gun seson. The entire family never hunted but this kid wants too, he's 14 and I'm looking forward to helping him learn.
I wish that AR would be implemented in 7P and yes it is because of the other guy that will whack everything with little antlers. (and those "other guys" happen to be some of my family and friends) However i do understand that a LOT of people who live in New York which we call upstate live on their deer harvest all year as a source of meat. My own uncle harvests about 3 to 4 deer yearly with his tags (and aunts and cousins) to put in the freezer for the year.
With experience in Pennsylvania and their antler restrictions i think it would be great. The 3 point on a side rule may not be the idea management tool but it is (IMO) the easiest for the "if its brown its down" guys. Inside spread and other body demensions to age deer age better but take more patience. I have seen plenty of guys whack anythiong with antlers and then go and count points to see if it is legal.
After year two of antler restrictions you get the older age class bucks to harvest (for the meat guys) and the enjoyment of seeing many yonger class bucks around for future years.
I think we should have a couple of seasons that are doe only.This would allow most young bucks to grow and spread their genetics.I personaly not looking for a hat rack,just some meat in the freez.
On page 18 under the manner of taking it does make an exception for. 22 & .17 cal but all other handguns I guess it depends on who your game warden is if you take it into the woods you are hunting with it. Becareful fellas they keep changing the rules and we don't even notice until its too late
