NFA-ADK

I would not believe it myself if I did not see it!

That's for sure! Arg I need a snow blower. Think I am done using exercise as an excuse not to get one. I keep saying the winter is almost over. Then I look and we have snow for Saturday! Tomorrow morning should be interesting if this all changes over and freezes.

EVERY vote counts! I will sure put my 2 cents in!

I have seen a fawn in Moose River during opening week still with spots. Couldn't have been more than 2 weeks old, doubt it made that winter. Doe will continue to cycle until impregnated. This is one of the reasons exertion myopathy takes place in the wild. Another reason I hate when towns try to use contraception for population control. Extremely interesting episode, on Deer & Deer Hunting one of my favorite episodes. That and the twin buck fawns make this my favorite DVD. Quick preview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F-YfLN-GJQ Peter F is the Man! Love his DVD's on talking to deer. These have helped refine my calling for sure.

So much for fair chase. I understand the concept but I doubt this will get a bunch of hunters in the woods to hunt bear. Another species considered a rat, did not take long for that, shocker. If they are rats just like deer let the snipers do it, after all snipers are the best way to control population right? I figured because so many advocate this use as population control it would have all ready been advised. Snipers are the only way to control the population, hunters just don't do enough. One thing is for sure changing these regulations will not fill the woods with bear hunters. Snipers are the only way to control populations. And yes I have to point out that this is sarcasm for some it has to be spelled out.

Wow that is crazy.

This is a horribly addictive drug and it is readily available to young kids. It is a real problem. It's a cheap high but they get hooked on the first try. I think the scale of its use is hard for the police to manage. The lives lost due to its use are shocking and affect every scale in life from the poor to the rich. Pure EVIL! The war on drugs has failed! We need to change how kids are taught about drugs because they apparently think shooting up with a needle is fun.

Very nice, good luck with it!

Funny the only two people I seem to have issues with are you two. Go find some more of my sarcasm to post as fact. LOL

Wow sounds really nice!

Think mine is 1/4, it fits my sight perfect 20-70 yard pins at every 10 yards. Smaller peeps are great for small sights but you have to have them match to be consistent. My MQ1 has a small sight and peep but it was great as it fit the circle of the target at 20 yards perfect, another nail driver. Much harder with a smaller peep to see long distance on large game. Field of view is reduced. Nice when you can pin point your shot!!! Makes shooting that much more fun! Good luck with it, but try not to overshoot like I do. Too fun! Todays run around the course in the snow was awesome! Love making fresh tracks and shooting 3D targets. Hope the course is open for tomorrows shoot but the road is pathetically bad with snow and ice.

Welcome aboard and thanks for serving!

Funny how you like to take sarcasm and make it fact. LMAO You are unreal, but hey go and look through more of my post to find some dirt. LOL You need a hobby. Can you say troll? LOL Lets just come to the conclusion that we will agree to disagree. Anyone with any knowledge of LI knows that DoeWhacker and Steve863 have no clue about the people or deer on LI or what type of habitat is good for deer. This post proves that. Your rants about LI deer are very informative. So urban environments are bad for deer, OK. Then ask yourself this question, why do they thrive in these areas to the point that they need to be culled. Could it be they have great food, habitat and cover. No LI does not have that right? LOL Please explain in detail why LI is so bad for large mammals, O wait that's right it is an urban environment so that must make it bad? LOL Go dig up some more posts on me because your rant about how bad LI is for deer is falling on deaf ears. Funny at one point I though you two where just doing this out of spite. But I see this is just how you two are. I also find it funny that when I make valid points you just brush it off as nonsense then try to belittle me by posting something that has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Your ignorance is bliss...

That is pathetic, what a joke. It's a SHED! ARG!

The facts are simple. Better herd management through forced AR. The science is proven yet still they say NO NO NO I want to shoot what I want. Just like when a season was enforced, then bag limits, 3 inch rule and now AR. While I understand the theory and agree with it, I do not like forced regulations. But if the majority wants it, then it will be done. Does not affect me but I would rather let others choose what regulations they want to follow. I am all for this but have changed my mind on wanting it enforced. As much as I argue with many here on many subjects I would hate to stop those hungry meat eaters from filling there freezer due to my enthusiasm for mature whitetails. One additional benefit I can not overlook is buck mortality. This resulting higher impact of the rut would allow massive fawn production at the same time overwhelming predators and if an extreme winter persist the surviving doe would help repopulate the area. We have not had a bad winter in a while, hope this one is good to them. Just like in camp I enforce my own AR when I hunt but I don't force my code of hunting on others. And I would never put someone down for taking a deer I would pass, they get a big high five! Plus I encourage anyone to get the first deer down what ever it is. One thing is for sure, if you guys who oppose it do not do anything it will go through in many areas.

Diareaha LOL Doewhacker we can control the population if they allow us to hunt the area's they need population control. Do you really think the urban area's are going to have snipers running around at night? No they will do this on farms and state land where they can actually shoot the guns. Wake up.

OK twist it some more why don't you. Just because I think hunting a remote wilderness area with less than one deer per square mile is harder than hunting urban environments from a treestand? Love how you twist it... Love how you go from a deer cull on LI to saying I think all LI and Southern zone deer hunting is no good. Guess I should not go back to Roscoe, Prattsville, Long Eddy, Port Jervis, Westchester or anything south, Western NY or hunt LI. You logic is perfect for you. So as long as the cull only happens where you don't hunt its fine. OK Say this out loud: All deer populations should be controlled by Government snipers. Seems to be your method for deer control. Try to encourage your local authorities to get this done. After all it is the best way as you and your buddy have stated, even in your area's. RIGHT? Because according to the locals where you DONT hunt they say you are not doing enough... I am done with you and your irrational logic. You have no clue about long island or its people and the deer which is what this subject is about. What did your video prove and what do you want me to prove with a video? I can see you base your opinion on some sighting from 10 years ago on Fire Island where this cull is not happening. Great way to get a good outlook on what is actually happening on Long Island where the cull is actually taking place. Tell me more how I hate Southern zone hunting. PS: That reference you are trying to point out was directed at a few individuals and I went on a tangent on that post, it happens. Wonder if Doe had anything to do with it. LOL But sure go ahead and take it out of context some more why don't you. Tell me again why LI is such a bad habitat for large mammals that is causes populations to explode and needs to be controlled. LMAO! O wait this is doe, are you brothers? Your logic is baffling to me especially as hunters. But OK go ahead and encourage snipers, O Wait UNLESS they come to your area. My bad I forgot you said you can control the population. Well we can too... I don't know why I bother with you two. O yea I love deer... And you just see them as pest that need control.

I Love all deer, no just the ADK deer. But hunting the ADK vs LI are two different worlds. Both are hunting, just because I love deep woods hunting takes nothing away from the deer that inhabit LI. Two different subjects but OK. And yes in so far as population the ADK is the exact opposite of LI. Horrible habitat vs excellent habitat. I though you read that 2 pages ago... Just because I love deep woods hunting does not mean I hate LI deer but OK great analogy. And I never said LI is not real hunting just different. But OK I see how you want to twist my words. Any more thoughts?

Not a natural environment, OK. LMAO So unnatural that they thrive. LOL PS: When you took this video deer where allowed to be feed. No so anymore. New law in NYS NO feeding the deer. Any other information on LI that you can give to us is appreciated. Tell me more about how bad our environment is for deer.

Wonder how they get permission from the land owner...

O Come on, give me a brake. Relax, I am sorry but you two seem to comment on things you think you know about and then make a statement like the one below. Your ignorance must be bliss. 1) If all the deer where killed many people would be happy until they discovered Lyme is here to stay, deer or no deer. Then they would wonder why they killed them all. That's right my poor helpless car and all those deer that charge it all the time, silly me. 2)"LI is nowhere near great habitat for large mammals like deer." This has to be the best line from you yet. We only produced the number one buck in the state for bow non typical. You have no clue about LI so please stop talking about it like you DO know. Our mature deer are in the 140-170+ range depending on genes and age but food is abundant on LI and host large mammals like deer even on remote islands like Fire Island, Block Island and Shelter Island. I could go on but that's enough for today and your reply's are very informative about your disillusions on LI people and deer population. Sorry Doewhacker I though you could take a jab, I will tone it down. But like some here have said to me, put on your shades, it is the internet after all. Don't take it so personal. No disrespect meant. I get a little overzealous when people talk about eliminating deer, like I have said before some see them as pest to be eliminated. This is probably why we argue so much, I just have the opposite view of deer and see them as the true majestic beast they are. I am done here.

That's me Mr.Anti-Hunter! My point is this. If they allowed hunters access to the area's they complain about this would not be needed and to take two deer off a public land area where the population is low will not affect the area's they are complaining about. But OK believe what you want. Again you both fail to realize the area I hunt in has no issue with population control because we keep it covered with all the hunters in this small area. But keep believing the media that the population is out of control... And those 2 I let go are not going to cause a population boom in THIS area... But yea it all my fault lol. OK. Read between the lines guys. They want the population eliminated. Justify killing more by saying they are overpopulated. Then we can kill more after the season is over and we announce the population is too high. Good justification, at least in there eyes. Sorry if this is too much for you to read Doe, I will try to keep my replies short as your attention span seems low.

They are starting the Cull in Caumsett again... Arg. OK Doewhacker those 2 deer I did not shoot are causing the population explosion, ok. You have no clue where I hunt or the population issues. The area I hunt does not have a population issue but keep believing the media. The area's that need population control have access issues due to private land. I hunt public land, deer are not excessive or even coming close to habitat damage. But yea OK I am the reason LI is overrun lmao. Forget your meds today?

Very cool Congrats Biz! Link?
