Does anyone else sense a "growing trend" of individuals entering the woods for multiple activities being completely unprepared? I read the reports and wonder where the common sense factor has vanished. Are we not the "information age" and yet still people don't bring the most common ten essential items? I read of individuals calling for assistance because they failed to bring a light, ample supply of water or their batteries died in there electronic devices, even as stupid as their socks got wet and they're a mile from their vehicle (true story). I feel it's only a matter of time until responding personnel or equipment like a helicopter meet with tragedy while actively responding to a needless and careless "rescues"...

There are two ways of posting your property: 1st- is covered by the NYS Penal Law and simply must be "consciously" posted as a reasonable person would have observed your signs. 140.05 Penal Law § 140.05. A person is guilty of trespass when he knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in or upon premises. Trespass is a violation. 2nd- under ENCON law as follows POSTED" sign requirements are as follows: the posting law specifies the maximum distance between signs is 660 ft., the minimum size of the signs is 11 inches square and the area covered by the printing is a minimum of 80 sq. inches. Signs can be no more than 660 feet apart. The signs should, however, be placed close enough together to be seen and at a height that is easily visible. Posted signs must have the name and address of the person authorized to post the property. Each side of all corners of the property must be marked with posted signs, so that corners can be reasonably ascertained. There is no requirement that signs be "seen," and in fact, the land is still posted for a period of one year even if the signs are illegally removed by unauthorized persons the day they are put up. This illustrates the importance of seeking permission to enter private land, regardless of whether of not it is posted. You can be arrested for trespassing even if you did not see any posted signs. Your hunting license does not give you the right to trespass on private property. It is your responsibility to find out who the land owner is and ask their permission whether the property is posted or not. The New York State Penal Law makes it an offense to enter any land without permission. All property is owned by somebody. The lack of posted signs, fences or other man made objects does not imply that you may enter to hunt, fish or trap. It is your responsibility to obtain permission to enter private lands or waters. Public lands and waters may or may not have restrictions that can be found by contacting the municipality owning the lands. If you shoot a deer and it runs onto posted property, you do not have the legal right to go on the property to retrieve it. You should locate the landowner, explain the situation, and ask permission. If the landowner refuses, the hunter will not be able to enter the property. The DEC cannot compel a landowner to grant access. If the hunter has reason to believe that the landowner intends to illegally possess the deer, it should be reported to the nearest Environmental Conservation Officer. State land managed by DEC, including Wildlife Management Areas and State Forests are marked with DEC signs and usually open to hunting. For state held lands open to hunting see Places To Hunt or the current Hunting and Trapping Guidebook. Return to top

Wow, I stopped following this page a while back for good cause, but I see it still gets more action that a cheap stripper during Mardi Gras.... I've been in the woods scouting !!

Clarified : flash card, aka SDHC card....

Definitely odd and nice they left the cash to cover batteries and a SIM card, like someone said an "honest criminal". They opted to wait until the "season" is over and explore some of the adjoining area where the smell originated. But, for now they moved the camera and went about their own business; just not worth getting mixed into a potential mess.....

My buddy and his friend have a hunting camp in the Adirondacks; they've noticed a "skunk" smell recently at the camp and knew there are few skunks in the area. They have several trail cameras out. Upon checking their cameras they found one with the batteries on the ground, pointed up, and the SIM card missing. They removed it from the tree and in a plastic bag behind the camera was $ 35.00.... They believe there must have been an marijuana grow in the area and the "suspect" had his photo on the camera and only took the documented pics and left the cash to cover the SIM card and batteries...

That's great right there !!!

Life rules: 1. never gather your medical advice from a "hunting forum" 2. never gather your medical advice from ANY NEWS media or facebook 3. never argue with an unarmed man 3. opinions are like assholes and we all have one........

Someplace in a land far-far away a bridge is left unguarded and they miss their wizardly and recondite creatures from below....

You should be an defense attorney....you'll argue any point to make yourself correct.....enjoy !! Here's a HINT........TRUMP said and did LOTS OF DUMB S**T in 4 years!! private message me: I'm still listing my ocean front land inside the blue line...

I have serious doubt over the "common sense" factor if one actually believes them or choices to repeat them...

It's crazy getting materials or goods ! I just heard their will be a turkey "shortage" for Thanksgiving this year, I 'm sure the coolers will be empty by this weekend as we all stock up !! Diesel up over a dollar in just one year and the White House tells us the economy is great and the Dow is setting records..... Good luck !!

If anyone actually believed that: He was serious about bleach or he instigated/orchestrated the riots/or any of the "documented" facts of things he "SAID", then I have 8 acres of ocean front property for sale in the Adirondacks..........the ignorance is beyond comprehension at this point.....

I promised myself I'd step away from this nonsense of following trollville, but the world is surely in crisis and our military forces and civilians abroad are in grave jeopardy. I hope these events do not cross over into our homeland and we suffer another 9/11 event. I surely didn't agree with all of Trump's antics, rants and self-boasting speeches, but I believe he was a strongly recognized force on the world front. Even, if that was born of other countries and factions solely being in fear of him and military actions/responses from this country. The middle East has never been at ease and unfortunately innocents have and will suffer at the hands of militant groups. TROLL DISCLAIMER: Please do not fell the need to quote me, attempt to restate my position either past or present. I simply wish that no harm come to our military, civilians abroad and our world neighbors and friends....

Glad your doing well, and I share your allergy as well. I was stung 40 years ago and had a severe reaction and ER visit. Been carrying EPI pen and Benadryl; I've been stung 2-3 times every year since then and nothing. Last year about this time I had a hornet hit my truck mirror, come in the window and I pinched it under my arm and was stung. I know if I get one in my truck I pull over immediately and evacuate the vehicle until I complete my search and kill mission.... Within a minute I knew it was an issue, I took multiple Benadryl and went immediately to the nearest "urgent care" they shipped me off in the ambulance to the ER for treatment. I now carry 4 EPI pens and a full bottle of Benadryl... I have a red fanny pack that I drag along with just my meds in it. As other post indicates they are angry this time of year and I carry my "kit" in the woods until snow fall and then again in early spring. Be safe and get in the habit of knowing where your meds are and your family and friends know how to use the EPI pen correctly.. Get rested and be safe!!

First off, I NEVER CLAIMED to be a Trump fan, and if one's only measure of the economy is the Dow then that's illogical at best. I don't have time or the desire to play "Troll the net" with opposing and illogical opinions for the sake of creating banter like some others....

I' have an ever better idea for this, the USA can send the following over there in person to negotiate with the Taliban: Hillary Clinton - outstanding resume in foreign affairs; Bill handled domestic "affairs" Andrew Cuomo - in about a week he'll have free time abundant; if his penal law troubles follow, it's New York, we can stuff and appearance ticket in his coat pocket and hope he returns to court some day Hunter Biden - responsible gun owner; knowledgeable in foreign negations and "pipe line" to daddy Kamala Harris - well spoken and can lighten any mood by her banal banter and school age giggle while "spouting" noting of substance (note pun yourself) All I can say is "God Bless this country right now, and our young man and woman who will serve in our military in the near future" My therapist tells me this isn't healthy so I'm signing off for today...

Any time someone (politician/car salesman especially) tells me that they're doing it for me I put my back against the wall..because I'm sure "it's about you"; that's the funniest crap I've heard all day right there....

She's too busy working on our southern border and giggling ! And I can't go to Canada and walleye fish or chase a bear...what is this sad world coming to ?

Oh greatness, Biden will address the nation regarding the chaos in Afghanistan at 3:45 today; always a fun watch if it weren't so sad...maybe Harris can speak(giggle and coo like a school age kid) after and interpret what Biden's writers/handlers were trying to instill upon the masses...

I'm not sure where your located but the economy isn't growing locally any place; more and more are shuttering their doors. Almost every business is seeking employees and had to reduce services or days open to accommodate no reliable help. As far as unemployment, I'm sure the percentage being newly employed is greatly skewed by the masses who were furloughed for COVID quarantine. So if we lay off 1000 employed and 500 return to work the "jobless" rate grew by 50% ?

Let's take a guess here; the democrats are in power so: the price of energy at the pump will increase drastically; the government will support the lazy and unwilling; consumable goods prices will rise as supply falls and falters; spend billions on "infrastructure" and environmental projects and we'll enter another "CONFLICT" in the Middle East.....and if we are really dedicated and schooled career politicians we can blame all this on any previous administration.. Any bets out there ?

I will keep your mother and your family in my thoughts and wishes; stay positive as medical advances are happening ever day. Best wishes to all for a speedy recovery.. Dan

Can't wait; I had a young bear by camp Tuesday. He wasn't much past 150-175 lbs but looked great shape. However, he wasn't all that concerned by me and I hope it's not one that has been "fed" by area do-gooders!

Then maybe which manufacturer has a better fit door, Dodge, Ford, Chevy, Toyota or..........
