Time to use some doe bleats or grunts to get him turned around.

I think all this rain has tempered the rut and maybe a trickle rut.

Is it too soon? Week 6 I pick Grampy

No chasing yet in the Bristol 8N area, doe groups still out in the fields. Not a single truck parked at the state land either

Makes sense the way you say it Use the setback as baseline

I would be willing to help take care of it for you, in exchange you can have all the meat...lol

Congrats on a nice buck.

Norms are what we collectively decide as a society. If the silent majority never speaks up the norms change.

That is the root of the problem. Evil triumphs when good men stand by watching doing nothing. All I am saying is we let them do what they want as long we get to do what we want..

True, but what would you have purchased and for how much more

But a muzzleloader is not a firearm

Hence my comment about Welcome to NY , that has another clear as mud law/directive.

https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/68802.html The law treats crossbows as a muzzleloader. A muzzleloader is any firearm into which the projectile is loaded from the muzzle of the gun (from the open end of the gun's barrel). Most (but not all) muzzleloaders used are considered antique firearms and are not defined as a “firearm” according to the Gun Control Act of 1968 Welcome to NY Wear the orange/pink and be safe outdoors

https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8305.html#Fluorescent Fluorescent Orange & Fluorescent Pink Clothing Requirements New: Any person hunting deer or bear with a firearm or a person who is accompanying someone hunting deer or bear with a firearm shall wear: a minimum total of two hundred fifty square inches of solid fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink material worn above the waist and visible from all directions; or a minimum total of two hundred fifty square inches of patterned fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink consisting of no less than fifty percent fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink worn above the waist and visible from all directions; or a hat or cap with no less than fifty percent of the exterior consisting of solid fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink material and visible from all directions.
