Exactly why you need a descender system. No matter the harness, your still hanging in a tree. Treestand wingman

Your a legend in your own mind.

And exactly why I use the TreeStand wingman descender system. Glad the hunter was found quickly and kudo's to the ranger and rescue teams.

As was advised in a post before, still hunting is the way to go. Work the wind and if you have another person to hunt with, doing some drives will be productive too. Switch between being the driver and stander, and having radios helps a lot. Moving around breaks up the monotony of sitting in a tree all day and you get to scout new areas.

Coyote running around your yard is all you need to justify buying a thermal scope. Once you buy and use it, you'll find many ways of justifying the need to buy a thermal monocular too ! Don't shy away from wanting to become the top predator in your area, embrace it.

Buy lots of shells if you plan on pass shooting. You'll have a better chance and easier target shooting at them when their coming into a spread, than pass shooting.

Your best bet is to sit at the pond before sunset and find where and when the ducks are coming in to roost. Once you find that time and spot, set up a blind facing away from the setting sun and have some fun. The problem with hunting a ducks roosting area, is that once you blast them, they don't usually come back, unless the ponds are located on a migratory route. Local ducks will give you one shot and then their gone, or come back after sunset and leave before sunrise. So, you might only get one shot and be left there looking at an empty pond for the rest of the season. If you have a couple of ponds in different areas, jumping ducks is a great way to spend a day. If you don't have a dog to retrieve them, plan on having some type of watercraft to get them.

Most of the money that runs the Empire state, comes through the cities, which are run by the political elite. Their minions do their bidding and we're lucky we get the table scraps to support the DEC. If it wasn't for conservation acts, monetary grants and laws that were passed long ago, NY state would be one big parking lot. Unfortunately, a lot of the liberal city dwellers have moved upstate because of the ability to work remotely because of covid. While it's been a boost to the upstate economy , they didn't leave their anti hunting beliefs at the city line. Land that used to be hunted is off limits now and their also effecting small town politics, which is also effecting the local businesses that depend on hunters. Shortening a season, would mean shortening their income's. There's a lot of variables that need to be considered with Deer management in NY.

I'm on call this weekend, or I'd be out hunting coyote or grouse.

Yet you still voted for Biden ? Please list the Biden Administrations positive accomplishments over the last year that have benefited Americans, America or it's allies ? In his first hours in office, he shut down the keystone pipeline, causing the loss of thousands of high paying American + Canadian jobs, causing friction with a border ally and Americas Oil independence that was accomplished under the Trump administration. Before the ink was dry on the keystone cancellation papers, he was bending over the table, stroking the cretin Putin, by approving the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline. I won't hold my breath.

I don't use a mobile device to log on here. I have to scroll down to look at this section and new posts from this section aren't posted in the home page either.

Foolishness, is listening to a voter that voted for a president that has the polar opposite beliefs of some of the main core belief's he claims he stands for. Make sense, or are you the only one in the US that's not worried about their 2A rights, Gov't overreach and actually paying more for everything because of higher tax's ?

Knowing when these meetings or comment periods were taking place would help get more hunter participation. You also need to remember that this is NY state, run by mostly liberal anti everything politicians and voters with big wallets. If it was up to some of those politicians and voters, hunting would be banned, so I'm always diligent with the DEC, but don't want to rock the boat to much, as IMHO, the DEC is really the only entity that's keeping hunting alive in NY and that could change in a heartbeat.

I would like to know who hacked into your computer and posted this ?

You have the choice to scroll past this section, yet your here and commenting.

You voted for Biden, but also believe in second amendment rights, small Gov't and lower tax's ? I may not be as educated as most of the brain surgeons on this forum, but if those three examples are what you believe in, you voted for the wrong President and are a lying hate filled regressive liberal.

Thanks for your participation. I thought you were just another one of those ivory tower blowhard rack hunters. If you can enlighten myself and the other members here , what were the generalities of their responses ?

Your forgetting that most NY hunters are out in the woods for only 2-4 days of the season. After opening and thanksgiving weekend, the woods aren't filled with hunters.

Here's some link's, so you and the other experts here can give them some advice. https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/564.html https://www.dec.ny.gov/54.html Here's a link for the rest of the drones to learn about NY's white tail deer management, or lack of management. https://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/6965.html

Former Republican Senator Bob Dole, who passed away this week at the age of 98, included in his farewell letter a playful jab at the Democratic Party. "As I make the final walk on my life’s journey, I do so without fear. Because I know that I will, again, not be walking alone," Dole said in a farewell letter that was read by his daughter Robin at his funeral in Washington, D.C. on Friday. "I know that God will be walking with me," the late senator wrote. "I also confess that I’m a bit curious to learn and find if I am correct in thinking that heaven will look a lot like Kansas and to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago."

I was really impressed when Biden visited the victims of the Waukesha Christmas Parade massacre. Christmas Parade Massacre I guess he was too busy attending George Floyd statue and scholarship ceremonies, or talking with hunter's nanny ?

Again with the diversion and insult tactics of a liberal drone. I post in many topics on this forum and have even started some threads, but I guess it's below an educated liberal individuals position to do some leg work to find that out. You might have to put down the Grey Poupon and we couldn't have that !!!!!!!!!!!! That's twelve exclamation points, so I must be serious !

I guess the 2/3rd's can dish it out, but run away when someone contributes examples of what happens when common sense gets pushed aside by the hatred of the educated left. In less than a year, that hatred has actually put this country and world in a far worse state of affairs than what we were told the orange man was capable of doing.

Tax's Higher Murder Rates Higher Gas prices Higher Who am I kidding, Everything's priced higher ! Backed up Ports Education Lower 401K lower Afghanistan travesty Russia and China on the Verge of crossing the Red line Will Santa need Rudolph this year ? Yet some of the supposedly educated here are fixated on the Jan 6th riot + Trump ? Only proving that having an Education doesn't mean you have common sense, which fully explains how Biden got elected.
