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.

I would suggest that you call the DEC and educate them, or become a teacher and educate the newest worker drone hunters. I for one don't shoot small bucks and none in my group of drones does either, unless their a new hunter. They get one legal buck and then their not new anymore. I hunt for meat, so the same results for me, is meat on my table, not a rack on my wall. Personally, I would rather see the bigger bucks not get killed so they can pass on their genes, but with all of the trophy bow hunters annihilating them with their new fangled sniper bows before breeding season, the lesser bucks do most of the breeding and the weaker genes are passed on.

Here's the deer plan that the ignorant "Idiots" at the NYSDEC have come up with. Maybe the two experts here could attend a meeting and show these ignorant "Idiots" how it's done ? DEC management plan I'm sure that the same deer plan they use in the mountains of Ohio, will work in the Adirondacks ? You know, the Largest park in the US, 6 million acres, with several mountain peaks over 5K high, just like the mountains in Ohio and Missouri. I've been hunting all over the US and abroad for longer than some here are alive. I've never ever heard anyone at SCI say that they were booking a trip to NYS to deer hunt, or any other type of hunting either. Small mouth bass and great lakes fishing, Yes, Hunting , No.

I wish you would tell your buddy Fauci that !

Here are some recent numbers about deer hunting in NYS. https://www.dec.ny.gov/press/119982.html NY doesn't manage the deer population for making money in license sales, as a lot of the states out west need to do. There's a lot of factors about deer management that some here aren't considering, listed here. https://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/104911.html And This, 2021. NYS big Buck And another broad brush assumption about NY hunters being made by other's here also. I've hunted all around the US and abroad, as have many of my family + friends and members here on this forum too. Assuming that everyone posting on this topic doesn't know anything about deer management and are behind the times, is as closed and narrow minded as you can get. Having a family with a history of deer hunting all over this state for nearly a century, I'm told by the old timers that this generation is living in golden times, as far as deer numbers go. Using some of the logic being touted here, a compound bow using mechanical broad heads, string release, sights, arrow rest and carbon arrows would be considered a more efficient weapon compared to a traditional long/ recurve bow, using wooden arrows with flint broad heads. Should the non traditional Bow hunting season be made shorter and the Spear season made longer for that reason ? Maybe some should take a step back and look at the whole picture in NY, instead of a slice before assuming idiocy and the lack of experience in hunting other areas of the country as the basis for their position on the matter at hand.

The new thing is, contract covid again, get a doc to say your disabled because of PCCSD (Post Cuomo Covid Stress Disorder) and retire on 3/4 disability. The NY way.

After buying land in a shotgun restricted area of NY, I went through a gamut of slug guns. Started with the 12ga Deerslayer, 870, 1187LH , 20Ga Ultra slug hunter, 12 Ga Tar hunt, 212 and ended with the 220 LH. Sold everything but the Ultra after the restrictions were lifted and not because it was the cheapest of the bunch, it was the most accurate.

I was skeptical about antler restrictions, but after a few years time, I've seen the benefits of the program. As the antlers get bigger, so do the bucks, which means more meat in the freezer. The deer programs that have had success in other states, generally won't work in NY state, as this state has a vey diverse environment, with a lot of dense human population areas and a lot of land that's off limit's to hunting. Programs that are suited to work in the sparsely populated western NY AG tier, won't work in the vast mountains of the Adirondacks, Catskills, Southern tier or the populated capitol + lower Hudson valley regions. A broad brush approach won't work.

220, if you can find the slugs to shoot !
