Been hunting Delaware County for 40 years. Seen good times and bad. Past 20 have been not so good with the loss of most of the farms. The AR's will increase poaching and decrease the overall number of hunters. I believe DEC gave out too many doe permits and the yote's are killing the deer. I would support one buck rule and cut back on doe permits. I believe this has all been brought on by TV and the I only shoot 150+ deer with long G2's and all of this crap. Yote's should be killed year round, no season. I remember all of the bucks I killed. Spikes and all. And I am proud of them all. When did we start needing a lease, tractor, food plot, camera, feeders, climbing tree stands, blinds, sentblockers, doe piss, and all of the stuff TV says you need. Used to be Jeans, long johns, wool jacket, good boots, work gloves, watch cap and your rifle.

Nothin wrong with that, Deerthug.. " Beware the one-gun shooter, he probably knows how to USE it "...

Well, I'm not excited about AR's because this forum proves that they aren't that magic bullet. Let's see all those trophy's taken from the AR areas and compare to the rest of the state. They don't stack up. Never mind that AR's focus on trophy rather than age/health. It's like saying that guys with big wangs are healthier. Something just doesn't add up. I am excited that we finally have Steve863 and Doewhacker back!

Take a break from the AR debate and grab a cold one http://www.youtube.com/user/postedboyz?feature=mhee

His peripheral vision is probably outstanding!

I agree, Jerry.. He's ugly as a side order of $**t......

They need to make reporting public record. The website should be designed for real time information. You shoot a deer and report it. Information goes right into the data base and is public record for anyone to check. It would be cool to know at any point in the season how many deer were taken from your area and by whom!! That way people can be held accountable. DEC officers should be able to scan your tag with a smart phone and call up everything you have reported for that year. Heavier fines for those of us who break the law.

Ahhh, the old, Ill be an a-hole to people and then cry about it when I get called on it routine. Dont let the door hit ya where the lord split ya....

DEADDEER1....seriously you might need to develop a thicker skin...season gets cold...lol...Listen I was ...well not as.... thin skinned when first hitting this site ...but ya learn and the biggest lesson you can learn should you choose is....there are more opinions out there than outhouses... if you know what I mean.... and things can get stinky fast....that doesn't mean you shouldn't sometimes hold your breath and wait for the smell to pass....You may find some sweet info and descent conversations if you do...It takes a big sense of humor and a a strong set of eye rolls to get past some posters but that happens on a lot of sites...so when you calm down I'm sure you have some good things worth sharing....by the way....that would be Bubbet...not Bubba

I've never been too excited about ARs... I'm more of a BOLT ACTION kinda guy... Woops...Wait a minute... You guys aren't talking about RIFLES are you ??.. Sorry..My bad.. I think it's time for my NAP...

I think AR should be statewide. No damage permits. 1 buck per season, Year round on yotes.

WHO THE HELL BROUGHT THIS BACK FROM THE DEAD

Just curious but how many threads do we really need on this topic? Im having a hard enough time keeping up with the bantering in the other ones let alone adding this one too.

Great Ceasar's GHOST !!.. That is my long lost Aunt MILDRED !! My last memory of Aunt Mildred was when she and Uncle Fester had a farm where they raised apples and maple trees...Thier main crops were apple vinegar and maple syrup.. Well, Aunt Mildred was out in the barn one day and she slipped and fell.. It just so happened that she went butt over head and landed with one breast in a vat of cider and one in a vat of maple syrup.. The hired man, Charlie Wackdoodle, saw her lying there and dragged her out by her heels.. Aunt Mildred wasn't wearing any skivvies, and poor Charlie hasn't been the same since.. Aunt Mildred recovered, but one breast had been marinated in the cider and the other one had been pickling in the maple syrup.. She had one side tattooed SWEET and the other one SOUR... Last I heard she was making a good living down in Dirty Pilar's House of Pleasure and Taco Emporium down in Tijuana.

When you start knitting are you going straight for the challenge like a sweater or are you starting with socks first?

Just doing my part ...no thanks needed....lol

What happened to the good ol days when hunting was more about filling your freezer and hanging with family and friends. When any deer harvested was great without having to score inches or age? I still hunt this way like it or not. 8Y here i come!

Fine as long as it doesnt come to CNY/Finger Lakes.

There is much of this that i agree with and the first is i'll believe the repeal when pigs fly.. I believe it is a political stunt wrapped up in a three card monte scheem. And if we are relying on the electorate to vote in the right people then we are in trouble.
