Kill reports are a good indicator of herd size it would stand to reason if the kill goes up in a WMU the herd is increasing if the kill goes down the herd is decreasing

What the DEC is using is a statistical sampling plan if the mythology is correct then there counts would be highly accurate. Here is another option for those who think the DEC’s numbers are way off Maybe what needs to happen is to have mandatory reporting on all tags for a year or two. I hate this myself but we can’t have it both ways. If we are not going to report are kills and we also don’t except the DEC’s calculated harvest data. Then mandatory reporting is the only option left, at the very lease it will tell us how good the DEC’s data is. If you don’t report on all your tag used, unused the next time you by a license you don’t receive the tags you didn’t report on. Also you pay first this would put an end to not reporting on tags fast.

3 for 3, doe with the bow a nice 8 with the gun and a doe with the ml

I use White Hots seems to shoot clean and consistant over my crony.

i use barnes 225gr 44 cal hp's in my 444marlin

I shoot a Martin Cougar 3 it shoots better than I do. I had a Bear Pronghorn Hunter years ago.

sure do i use the hunter safety system. hope i never find out how well it works

It will not matter if the Gov. Signs the bill or not after so many days it becomes law. I can’t remember how many days I think it is 90 day unless there is a veto it will become law. That’s how some of the southern zone rifle areas were put in place. If you remember he didn’t sign all the rifle bills

Hey here’s away to have more deer and bigger bucks, with no AR’s. Adopt a 1 on 2 off policy we hunt 1 year and then no hunting for 2 years. On the year we hunt we have a bag limit of 4 bucks and 6 doe’s this should satisfy the big buck crowd and the I am not seeing any deer crowd. There would be plenty of bucks and plenty of deer. ???

Here is another take on AR's. let us look at some facts. One: Over 80% of the land in this state is in privet hands. That means the land owners have to pay the ever-increasing taxes on the land they own. Therefore, what you have to ask do I have the right to tell someone how he or she can hunt on his or her land; as long as the way the rules are now written, they are doing nothing illegal. Two: Let us look at the BUCK take for the last 5 years. The buck take has been increasing for the last 5 years and the percentage of 1.5 year olds has remained the same. This would suggest that not everyone who claims they are practicing in QDM is doing so. The data seems to say there is not a lot of support for AR’s in the state. If there were a lot of support for AR’s you would see a reduction in the buck harvest coming out of the percentage of 1.5 year olds taken and that is not happening. The data was taken from the DEC annual harvest reports. I know what you are going to say the DECs data is not right. What I will tell you is unless you have state wide harvest data that you can prove is right then you have no proof there data is wrong, and if the DECs data is wrong whose fault is it when only 45% of us report are kills. This means the DEC has to use modeling to get a harvest number.

I do not think you are going to see a big increase in hunter numbers or the kill the way the bill passed they can be used in the gun & the late bow, ml season. Also there noisy, big and clunky, hard to reload and cost too much.

I think he had the still running that day

looks like pennetration would suck

If you want to see bigger bucks all you need to do is keep the deer population at about 80% of capacity and keep the buck to doe ratio at about 3 doe’s to every buck and you don’t have to let every small buck walk just most of them. Also some habitat improvement helps. It is that simple

reloading not hard you just have to follow the steps

any pic's

looks like the BIG FOOT crap i saw on a TV show so lookout he may be on the hunt!

Making fun of someone’s handicap just shows anyone who visit this site what kind of low life some hunters are. Hunter aren’t the only ones who go to this site Bighunter27—you have never seen someone die a little every day or you wouldn’t be talking out you’re a--

I have no intention of ever using a Cross – bow. I do know someone who has MS and I wish some of could walk a week in his shoes or try to walk in his shoes. Maybe your tune would change.

I don’t like the guy I think he’s a ass but that wasn’t funny mocking his handicap that crossed the line.

led head lamp

i think you are wrong on when the cross - bow was invented. the chinese invented it around 678 BC and they may have been ivented before then.
