166 gross, 141 net, 2006 164 gross, 153 net, 2008

Heres my best NY bucks. The one on the right scores 161" net. All of these bucks were taken on public land!

Shotgun buck. 5x3 that dressed at 185# Rifle Buck Typical 10 with 2 kickers. 205# dressed Muzzleloader buck. THis is the onlyone I know the score of. 138 5/8 gross -134 5/8 net. I think it was 190# dressed. This was the first buck I had on trail cam and was able to take.

Couple from tonight (9/2)..... the only hard horn buck is the nice 9'er I've had my eye on all summer. His 3 buddies are all still fuzzies. They could be clean by the morning for all I know.

Honestly, no buck could make me pass up everything. I'm not a trophy hunter. I enjoy all aspects of hunting; the hunt, the kill the processing and the consumption. Preparing for the hunt, getting together with friends & family etc. are all apart of it also. It's who I am. But of course, your mileage may vary............................

Not sure if this forum ever had this topic before. With the season approaching, lets see a PICTURE of everybodys biggest NY buck. Stories with no pics, need not apply. Non NY bucks, need not apply. Here's mine. Opening day of gun season 2007, first light. Putnam County (3N). Basket 8. Never measured him, but I would guess he's like 80" or so? No clue. Sorry for quality, its a pic of a pic.

most of the Safe Act won't serve any purpose.......bad people will still do bad things, no matter how much they try to regulate.

This guy is my best so far. Taken last year the day before Thanksgiving with my muzzleloader.

Took this 6 with my bow in Delaware county. [/url]

Heaviest..............217lbs dressed: Highest scoring..............Gross 143-7 Net 140-6

Eastern NY in Columbia county.... 13 pointer, grossed over 151" Also, shot this 9 point a few towns over.. a couple years later...

I shot this 8 Pointer in 2009 (opening day) which happened to be the day after I retired . Its not a monster but I'm happy !

I've had pretty good luck over the years. Only 2 ever broke 120". Still trophies for me. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4

I really don't do the "trophy" thing. Sure if a monster walks by and I get it, I will be very happy. But my hunting really has more to it than just collecting heads for the wall. So to answer the question, there is no buck that could cause me to target just him exclusively. I may spend extra time in an area where he hangs out, but as far as passing up his lesser friends, that isn't really very likely.

Be thankful for the time in the woods with your boy. I've had family in town this weekend and haven't made it out yet at all. Hoping to get out tomorrow morning in 9m.

Lick it clean.

Well i made a few changes... instead of the rounded top design i decided to put pallets on the sides and have a flat roof... me trying out it out... not sure if i can bowhunt outa it or not...

It was just a political ploy by Albany to show everyone they're tough on gun laws.........there was no rational thinking behind it.

Glad I moved a camera to this pasture lot

That's the school of thought that was given to me that I live by. I check them all the time, even after shooting targets. It sounds like some people have had issues with them blowing up during the process of shooting though, which then got me overthinking that maybe I need to retire my arrows every time I shoot something....

2010 with my Muzzleloader. Gross scored 136" approximately (9 point). Nets are for fishing and don't figure them...lol

For those of you who think I'm talking B.S., I was born in the US to a Hungarian immigrant father and an American mother in 1955. In 1956 my father and grandfather, who were both Hungarian nationals and politically connected in both the US and Hungary, returned to Hungary to revolt against the Russians and their occupation of Hungary. I'm not going to go into a lot of details about their revolutionary connections, but I will tell you both of them died fighting the Russians. They had NO firearms to fight with. Firearms had been BANNED AND CONFISCATED! My unarmed father was killed throwing a Molotov cocktail into a Russian tank in downtown Budapest and my grandfather was cut to pieces by an AK-47 while trying to get the gun out of the hands of a Russian soldier. If you want to learn more about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, just Google it and read James Michener's novel, "The Bridge at Andau". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_at_Andau By the time my uncle got to that bridge fleeing the country, the Russians had killed hundreds of people trying to cross it, and then blew it up. He survived by swimming that frigid river at night in the dead of winter. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 failed because those brave men were promised help from America by the CIA if they started a revolution. The United States let them all die, or get imprisoned, as they waited for help that never came! A similar disaster happened a few years later at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. My grandmother, aunts and surviving uncles have schooled me in the history of government oppression and resistance. I've also learned what it was like to live without freedom. When this is the topic, I know what I'm talking about. What I see happening in this land is following the same plan the Hungarians experienced in the 1950's. The wimpy complaining and legal wrangling gun owners in America are employing will not work, because that has all been anticipated by the government and measures have been put in place to insure they will fail. Don't insult me with childish comments about militias and fertilizer bombs being employed to fight this crap. That is not what constitutes a intelligent revolt. Hunters and outdoorsman may be apathetic for the most part, but there are many gun owning men in this land who didn't buy their firearms to hunt. They bought them for the specific purpose of defending themselves against a government that turns on it's own people by violating the Constitution. The REAL reason the 2nd Amendment was put into the Bill of Rights in the first place! What we need now is a change to the mindset of patriotic Americans. We need people to wake up and realize what is happening, where it's taking us, and what we need to do about it RIGHT NOW! And that is not armed rebellion....yet! If Americans don't show a major non-compliance attitude right now, the infringement of rights, and I mean ALL rights, will begin to accelerate at an unprecedented rate and eventually all will be lost. I'm not talking about bombs, battles and assassinations here. I'm talking about people convincing everyone they know, on the left or the right, that the change this country is experiencing is not a good change, and the only way it will be reversed is if the majority of Americans refuse to accept it. Anyone who is arrested and prosecuted for a violation of these unjust laws is perceived by the government as a threat to the status quo and the government, not because they are a threat to society or innocent people. Once you have been identified as such a person by the authorities, you are either silenced, or you get off the radar and become an outlaw. What drives you from then on is JUSTICE, in spite of what the Fed says is legal and not legal. This is what made men like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Lech Wałęsa, Mandela, TuTu, Patrick Henry and all of the founding fathers. They even warned us one day this would all be necessary to continue living in a free land. The government propaganda machine has been working overtime in the last decade to convince most uninformed Americans resistance is a felony that comes with dire consequences. That ought to tell you something about the government in itself. But it should also tell you what is in store for you if you comply. Sadly, I don't see a lot of intelligence in the majority of Americans on this subject, and I wonder if enough of them will ever come to their senses before it's too late. But I can assure you, I know what the future of America will be like if they don't, and I'd rather not be a part of it. You can make your choice.

Awesome Bucks guys....Belo - What's up with the weird faces? lol

actually both of these deer were taken October 31st. I hunt start to finish any time I can. I usually take my doe early October if I get a crack at a nice one. I have taken many decent bucks in mid october.

Are there curtains on the windows? Maybe if they were able to look inside and see that there is nothing for them to steal, they might just move on.

that is pretty cool, looks like it could hurt lol

I remember someone bringing up the possibility of a future .22 Super Mag, now that I wouldn't be able to resist!

As someone who actually makes their living in sales and maintains a home office, I cringed good and hard at this part. Not my cup of tea, but as long as no one is getting hurt and it puts a few bucks in your pocket go for it.

3n and 3f-2for2---- plenty to make a fine tag soup! Jk....I hope!

Shawnhu we are not saying hunting in Nassau all hintong properties are in Suffolk however Suffolk residents have more options as there are Suffolk county park land with the additional permits ect... As for the original question yes Nassau residents can deer hunt rocky point, Otis pike, and David Sarnoff park. As of Nov.1st Otis like and rocky point require daily access permits, David Sarnoff to my knowledge is park at designated spots and hunt with seasonal permit displayed in window

We had a tough time in 8N. Only killed 2 in 2 days of hunting. My girlfriend killed both of them.

After months of getting pictures and pictures and pictures of nothing but does and some smaller bucks I was able to get this guy on camera. It's not the best picture but you can get the jist.

To see what I was missing off to the sides......a lot..

Had this little hard horned buck show up this morning. I've only found one small rub so far.

Afterwards we took a trip to Cabelas in Conn. We had a great day there too. So much to see and buy.

got 3 2 with 22 rifle one with 22 pistel as i was cleaning those 3 4 more were in the hickory tree in my yard since i live in the country i thuoght about shooting 3 out of the tree but my son was itching go fishing

Bill Leary was a well known butcher in the Capitol district, he is no longer processing deer. Does anyone else know of a butcher in the Albany area or Capitol district. Yes I know how to do it but its just easier to drop off and have it done.

The correct order of things has become a stacked deck. The correct order will have all of the citizens firearms confiscated prior to people revolting, and by then it's too late. The citizens that do not own guns today are not slaves because of those of us who do. "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf" -George Orwell Go back to having leaders that follow the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights and we know what we will have after the storm.

Update: Turnips coming up pretty good on my recently logged property--road system towards bottom growing the best and top landing growing a little slower and patchy..seems to be a little yellowing on the top landing portion. The recent rain really helped shoot things up.

I don't disagree with what you say Doc, but when all of the legal and political resources are exhausted and we have been trashed, what will you do? Toss in the towel on top of your pile of confiscated guns, or fight whatever way you are left to fight? When they start taking away the guns, it's gonna get ugly. When Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty, or give me death", he was given death, but he died an honorable death ONCE. Cowards (and sheep) die a thousand deaths over their lifetimes. If we lose this fight in the end, we have nothing left to lose! Then you can either fight, or become a slave.

The chili idea sounds like a good one. I made jerky out of goose meat this past year and it was okay- not great. I made jerky out of duck meat, and it was excellent.

Yuck..one of the reasons I don't hunt geese is because I simply haven't had a meal of them that I ever wanted a second bite of. God bless you for keeping their numbers in check as best as possible.

And that is because people have complied with the unconstitutional infringements these laws have put on gun owners. The laws go at it piece by piece, to see how many sheep will comply. They chip away at your rights little by little, as if pulling feathers off a bird one at a time. By the time the bird protests, it no longer has the ability to fly. Declaring I will not comply doesn't mean you think the problem is solved. It states to the government you find the law to be unjust and unconstitutional, and you are willing to defend your rights regardless of their oppressive law. They are getting away with this sheit because too many of us ARE complying! Guess why Prohibition didn't last. People refused to comply!

Shoot a bunch of sifferent bows in your price range at an archery shop. Which ever is most comfortable in your hand while holding and drawing, shooting with eyes open and closed is the one you want. Its all about fit... not manufactures.....

buddy from college is all about it. he's also into Scientology and all sorts of that odd ball stuff.

Has anyone received one for 7P?
