You must be bored

Make a natural ground blind. Put in it, something that resembles an old stinky guy hunting. Works for me.

I don't know ...but I sure wouldn't leave out an attorney general ...I need someone to B slap Hilary into a deep dark hole...

I'm not one for really caring what people think about me but I just dont know if I'm ready to be known as the guy who hangs dirty underwear in the yard just yet.

Let's see..money going to hunters and seeing REAL numbers coming in,verse ,money going to "Studies" and statistical numbers coming in....Hhhmmmm A P.A. plan compared to a NY plan...my money would be on P.A.

i think if your answer was going to be definite No to her, then you would know now by now and wouldnt hesitate. But with the little that you have shared with us, I get the idea everything will be ok - just a gut feeling

I'm for crossbow full inclusion too. It will get more hunters out in the field. And more hunters should kill more deer. Much better than having a muzzle loader in bow season. IMO

best way to stop them is put up a tree stand act like you are hunting if its anything like last years deer season you will never see them again

just put the Xbow into the archery season for the old,disabled and yes the lazy I am all for it because most days I fall under two of the three categories

If they make them legal before xbow during archery I will lose all faith in new York Dec completly it's the dumbest thing I have ever heard...bb guns awsome one more way for them to take your guns...don't need your shot guns or rifles bc you can hunt with a bb gun.....great let's pass that guys Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb....why not try xbow all of archery....I would bet good money on it helping Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Maybe this will get some if the Anti xbow guys to think again before early muzzle ruins it all

If elected, I would put venison in every pot and a firearm in every "Law Abiding" citizen's hand!

I think Moog is an attorney, so I'd get him on my staff in the legal dept . I would get Growie involved in agriculture. I would get Pygmy involved in human trafficking issues. I would get Phade involved in Technology dept. I would get ShawnHu involved in electrical dept. Geno in club promotions dept. FourSeasonsWhitetails in the barber/salon dept. I forget who does the giant flagpoles, but he would be in charge of strip clubs. Paula as First Lady. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You my friend are in the middle stage of your problem, only to get worse. When is the last time you saw Rabbits or game birds on great pieces of property? We used to have piles of them here also. You will never dent them with normal hunting season. You and other land owners have a problem and know it? Call in the dogs and Snowmobiles. You will be shocked what they drag off that property the first few hunts.

Actually no I don't, but I am busy and yes it still contains ,what can be assumed SOME accurate information...Now you are clearly on the defensive here ...with your bee stings ,dog bites...Good Lord bacon comparisons. I'll step away from any attempt at a rational discourse with you...please have a cup of tea....Ooppsss..... organic herbal green tea, and try to lower that blood pressure.

Someone needs to make a motion sensor that when tripped plays the sound of a door opening and someone yelling, dog barking, etc. And get rich

http://www.syracuse.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2015/01/suny_esf_prof_coyotes_are_everywhere_in_nys_but_overall_impact_on_deer_is_minima.html Here is an article about a recent coyote study done here in NY... Interesting read... I don't know much about the current coyote situation in PA. Population vs. deer and such... but in NY there still isn't sufficient evidence of a coyote population problem vs. deer that isn't already being handled by the current coyote hunting season. Whether a bounty would help with accurate coyote harvest numbers or entice more coyote hunting in PA is yet to be seen... Hard to find deer vs coyote population numbers for PA to know whether anything they might be doing would translate at all to anything that is happening here in NY. The coyote thing is becoming a hot issue... I'll bet we'll be seeing much more in the way of coyote vs. deer studies here in NY in the near future. It's about time hunters started learning the truth about coyote populations in NY. I still say that the almost panic like response to the coyote vs deer issue is more hunter driven than fact driven.

is that a yellow olinion or a vidalia olinion?You Can't Beat My Meat!

Well, here we go again. Hopefully this time works out. My Dad, with the help of my negotiating skills, has reached an agreement on land here in 3N. Next up contracts, title, closing. Current owner used the land for hunting, a trapline, and some sort of beehive contraption for honey. He is moving south and needed to sell.

So this Sunday our 13 year old daughter ( one and only child ) is auditioning for a summer ballet program that if she makes it is gone for the month of July. She's excellent at ballet I gotta say and pretty sure she'll make it. We are in Buffalo area and she'll be in Albany area . I have to admit I am quite nervous about letting her go. I put the kibosh on it last year and really have to let her go this year. Between her outstanding talent in ballet she has excellent grades so this is her future and hopefully will get a scholarship some day. Her ballet school has 1-3 kids yearly that receives a full ride to college. So there's potential for her. I've heard there are college kids taking summer courses in the dorms these girls stay in. We won't know any of the chaperones and I do everything everyday to protect her. She's got a great head on her shoulders and no interest in boys. I'm sure I can get time off to visit once or twice but man am I going to be a nervous wreck for that month. Maybe 1-2 other girls from her current ballet school going. We're not helicopter parents by any means . Wondering how you'd feel about having your son/daughter leave for a month under these circumstances ? I'm going to miss not fishing with her for sure, our hikes , and her presence around the house. Now that I think of it, I'm going to be a mess.

Just received this at work. Somehow this box maybe a little overkill for the contents.

Think of a month with her at home after you tell her she can't go... LOL

In light of the changes they made last year and the proposed changes for this year. I'm very surprised they have not made a proposal for full inclusion for crossbows. It does make sense to do so. Perhaps that is why it's not being proposed.

I don't own a crossbow but IF it is between crossbow OR muzzleloader crossing over entirely into bow season yes I absolutely would prefer crossbow.

Thats a tough one you can only believe you raised them right and they will remember the important things.

It sounds wonderful, I wouldn't have a problem sending my 13 year old away for a month. You can visit which will be great. My 15 and 12 year old went away last year to Cortland for a week. They were involved in the field hockey and soccer camp. Sounds like your daughter is pretty mature and will handle things fine…….congrats it will be a great experience!

Paula I thought Barbara and Laura Bush were quite gracious and popular,and you probably would be also !

Please don't take my suggestion and twist them around, I understand your frustration on this subject, but to misdirect your anger towards me, is probably unjustified. Marksmanship - clay pigeons fly, coyotes don't, not from the studies that I've read. You may have read a different study than I have. With the possible introduction of coyote hunting all year, I would imagine that SOME hunters would hit the range more often, sight in their varmint/small game rifles/shotguns/bows and prepare themselves for hunting coyotes, just like any other game that would be deserving of a clean, ethical kill. Not like the way you make it out to be, shooting clay pigeons. Divisions amongst hunters - I've yet to meet a hunter on the field that didn't want to shoot a coyote, anytime, anywhere it's legal. It's no secret that many hunters in NYS prioritize deer over most other game, including coyote. That's why you see many more coyote harvests in NYS after deer season has ended. If coyote season was opened to year round, I don't see this division of hunters you speak of, I could only see more engaged hunters, higher hunter retention in NYS, and additional hunter recruitment from young hunters. These are all positive things IMO. Strong resistance from antis - well, what can I say, antis will be antis. They resist hunting of deer too, are we going to stop that as well? Deteriorating support for hunting among non-hunters - so you are saying that non-hunters support hunters more if we don't hunt coyotes? Playing into the fear that non-hunters will support hunters less is the same as letting the antis dictate what we should, or shouldn't do to continue the hunting tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. If a non-hunter feels that by opening the coyote season to a year-long season offends him, but recruits 2 new hunters because it's easier to introduce a young hunter in the warmer weather vs cold, or keeps a hunter engaged by having to look forward to a year-long hunting season, I think that's a win. Respect for the animal - I don't think the animal feels more or less disrespected if it's killed during the winter, spring, fall, or summer.

yeah...I guess...waiting for some paint to dry...

With a side dish of food it wouldn't be bad.

Extending the season to all year is probably the best "solution". It's really two pronged, and I can't see a downside to it. You'll have more hunter participation year round, better marksmanship as a result, and more license sales to keep hunters engaged. All the while, keeping the predators in check.

apparently I'm a slow learner

You said bow ?! Dang , tried a few rounds of 12 gauge slugs last night in my basement. . Friggen loud

My coon hound had his own recliner if it doesn't rock he will wine till you move it away from wall....sometimes my daughter climbs up on it with him but normally it's all his Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I think its a huge waste of money. The state is better off putting that money into habitat improvement than on a bounty. Best thing to do for coyote management is to help improve the fur market. Many trappers and hunters wont waste their time on a coyote or even bother trapping at all with these low prices.

It is sad that you think this is the place to get accurate information, and that I am an ignoramus because I have been depending on peer reviewed science for my information. Wow! I have said it before but apparently it needs repeating: The risks to humans from coyotes cannot compare to the risks of bee sting, domestic dogs, bacon, domestic violence, glyphosate, falling out of a tree stand, self inflicted wounds from weapons (knives, arrows, guns), etc. etc. etc. The fear of coyotes is not based on any rationale risk assessment. It is primal like the fear of snakes. It made sense to fear wolves - or wolf-like creatures - when we lived off flocks of sheep and goats in a pastoral Europe a thousand years ago. You can let those fears go now.

This might be the solution ! It could also serve as a Dog House . That's it ...... a Dog House Blind .

I fell in love with the 3D shoots recently,it just like hunting except I get to actually shoot the bow.

Let's not get into what again, irrational fears? My SIL won't get on a plane. I think she is overwrought about such things and planes are much more likely to kill you than a coyote. What a waste of taxpayer money. I don't know the PA but this smells like politicians, not professional wildlife managers.

This is what happens when you cram things down people's throats using the same tactics that brought us the Safe Act. The early clandestine hurry to jam something in before any opposition can be mounted struck again. Of course there was rebellion. What did they expect? Treating bowhunters like errant children being punished for not harvesting enough does to balance the deer populations wasn't exactly the right thing to do either. These people are beginning to disgust me, and apparently others as well. What wasn't complained about quite as loudly was how the muzzleloaders were also being screwed. It sounds like they went farther than the bowhunters with some of them not even buying a license.

'Affluenza' defense

Just give us full inclusion of xbow during archery...more guys would be out Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Used to enjoy catching rattlers in the Arizona deserts. We used about four feet of 3/4,inch pvc with a doubled over piece of coat hanger duct taped onto the end . Tastes like chicken !!

I have one from Nashville Tenn.. The number is BR-549... I think it belonged to some guy named Junior Samples..

Pulled most of my canines and rat sets today I have about 6-7 more k9s out and 10 rat sets Wich will be pulled by sunday Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

. To quote a fool on her. If you think the politicians are on your side, you are delusional. Most of us have figured out there is no sense arguing with a liberal. It just lowers us to your level

I believe I am a nice person Just last week a guy at work says, you don't like me do you? I Smiled and said you are correct once again. I can smile and give a compliment at same time. ????

VP. Fasteddie secy of state. Nyantler. Secy of defense Paula. White house press secretary. Doc. He can spin a tale. Attorney general. No one I do not like attorneys. Surgeon general. I would handle that

My neighbor hangs some of his dirty underwear around edges of his garden all summer & he said it works great keeping the deer out.

Next time it snows you can just stand outside with the leaf blower and redirect the flakes before they even touchdown in your yard. It may or may not work but I bet it would be amusing as heck to watch!
