One of the main reasons baiting is illegal is the fact that has been pointed out by Chiefbkt. Baiting causes a pile of food and is known to cause disease to spread. Fact This is one reason I declined a new lease on property I know hunters bait. I want no association with this. Crops do not drop all the food in one spot. Gjs4 You seem to have had a bad experience with some master baiters. Just because you see a few bad apples does not mean every barrel is bad. We have some pretty awesome hunters here and many of those same people respect and love the wonderful world of the whitetail and will do everything legal to ensure their survival, this includes planting winter crops and food plots. Know it all, well if that was the case I would not be here as I am sure many others love to gain knowledge and check out others success in the field along with the pathetically awesome pictures we share. Please don't be so close minded and realize not everyone fits the profile you paint. Many of us are conservationist and love the land and animals, this is why we maintain the land for the benefit of our animals and the viewing pleasure they give us. The benefits those individuals provide for the animals far outweigh the bounty we take. Yes we argue over many things(We are a stubborn bunch!) but one thing should unite us and that is the love of our land the bounty it provides and the enjoyment it give us. I just wish that where true...

Even with some great success comes ridicule. No one should tell anyone that they should not have taken that deer. We are legal in harvesting any deer so if someone wants to shoot a yearling or fawn it is their right. I would not post anything bad against any successful hunter, it might be the only deer he or she has a chance at so what gives me the right to say that is wrong? I have always been fascinated with big bucks, it is my passion but if my hunting partner takes a doe, even a yearling he will get a slap on the back for that will be his first success. I might bust some chops on age but that would all be in good fun. Hunting has become more of a stress relieve and getting back to mother nature and being a part of it for me. I only wish more had this philosophy. It is a shame we fight with each other more than the anti's.

Once a month at about 300-400+ shots per week. Need to do my new string.

Nice shots!

Love my model 94AE it is a great brush/short range gun. Most of my shots are relatively close. Easy to carry, follow ups are simple and it works. 3 bucks to its credit. Great round, good luck!

Directly from NYS DEC web site. In New York, it is illegal to feed deer and moose by putting out any material that attracts them to feed. There are five exceptions to the rule: 1.Agricultural crops including wildlife food plots. 2.Distribution of food to livestock. 3.Distribution of food to captive deer and elk. 4.Cutting of trees and brush. 5.Scientific research, wildlife damage abatement, and wildlife population reduction programs, but only under a permit issued by DEC. That is one of the reasons I do not go back to one spot, the owner was baiting. Baiting is just below poaching.

Good luck, be prepared, have fun and be safe. Deep woods can be an adventure yet the ill prepared tend to find calamity.

This type of thing happens all the time but the media rarely prints this information.

Thanks again for the link, enjoyed watching it last night. Hats off to you VT Outfitter, we need more like you! Keep up the good work! Great point G-Man! I could not agree more! I can identify 1.5 and 2.5 but at 3.5 and older it gets a bit harder.

Thanks Mike!

Very cool!

Welcome aboard, glad to have you!

Very nice bucks!

Love that site!

Ahh buck season is approaching! Can't wait!

I am in my 8th week of field shoots, we have 2 more to go then we have 3D. Fun fun fun! http://suffolkarchers.com/ 3D shoot are open to the public, come on down and shoot! Dates are on the calendar.

Welcome aboard! I have one in perfect condition, do you live on LI?

Wow that is crazy! Way to make light of a bad situation. Thanks for sharing!

Well at least he has the you know what to do what he feels is right. I do not agree with everything he has done and sometimes he causes more harm than good. That said, No one else is doing what he does or is as outspoken as he is and plain and simple most politician can not defeat his logic. Find a better representative of my gun rights and I will support him, until then Uncle Ted gets my approval. God bless him! I would have gone just to support him!

Hats off to you Dom! As Stewarts we are the best keepers of the land.

That's funny, my sister had a mocking bird keep her up at night. Those hawks are pretty amazing, pictures!!!!?

WOW congrats on your first kill, a real brute. Welcome aboard!

Good luck! Work is demanding I take some time off so I will try to help the east end farmers by culling some doe and hopefully stop the sharp shooters.

Only thing to add to dbHunterNY's list: Water or some type of drink, extra pencil or pen for score card.
