BfloHunter , that's a bummer . I see more deer in the village limits of Irondequoit than I do when hunting ..... eating in people's yards . That's a nice looking buck !

Well , I do check my watch when hunting and stay legal . Some folks could get away with breaking the law but if I did something illegal , I would probably have a DEC Officer tapping me on the shoulder in seconds . Seven pages and no one has changed their mind ..................

He practiced at 40 yards and guessed at a 50 yard shot with a crossbow . He got the deer . So , what's the big deal ! How many of you sight in a rifle at 100 yards and take a 200 yard shot ?

My son took his 9 year old with him to camp and shot an 8 point . My grandson claimed it as "his" deer . His younger 6 year old brother wanted to go out with dad and my son shot a doe with the muzzle loader making another grandson happy . Now the 6 year old twin sister wants to go out with dad because it's her turn . I called up my 6 year old grandson to congratulate him ( even though his dad shot the deer ) and he told me about seeing the deer's heart , his dad removing the guts and stuff and draining the blood . He was quite excited .

Non taxable ammo , at that !

I also wonder if they have switched to Cross Bows ....... Hmmmmmmmmmm !

Irondequoit had that for a few years after spending thousands of dollars on off duty cops doing Bait & Shoot . A bow hunter had to pass a qualification course and get in a lottery for the special permit . There were special rules and regulations as well as specific hours to hunt / shoot . A bow hunter would be assigned a specific spot to hunt . I don't know if they still do this or not .

If you drive 60 mph on Rt 104 where the speed limit is 55 and you are in the passing lane with several cars backed up behind you ...... you can be ticketed for driving too slow too slow and obstructing traffic flow .

BS ---- It's apples and oranges !

FSW ---- Hunters are shooting in the dark prior to 30 minutes before sunup . Yes , they are shooting in the dark .

I think the point of the question of legal time vs speeding was ....... do you break one rule constantly but adhere to the other and does that make you a hypocrite ........

You had better slow down on the Walworth - Ontario Road . The Troopers keep a good eye on that road .

I wonder if this guy was wearing Blaze Orange ....... Hunter shoots self in foot On Tuesday (12/2) shortly after 5:00 p.m. the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office and Phelps Ambulance responded to 1318 Mott Road in the Town of Phelps for a male who have had been shot in the foot. Upon arrival it was discovered Justin J. Vancamp, age 25, of 1339 Mott Road in Phelps sustained a gun shot wound to his right foot from a 12 gauge shotgun while hunting in an orchard nearby. Vancamp was able to get back to his vehicle and drive a short distance to a relative’s home. He was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital for further treatment by ambulance. The NYS DEC responded to the scene, and will be completing the rest of the investigation.

A guy from Walworth got caught shooting a buck from a combine . He used his wife's tag . He lost his hunting priviliges for 5 years and had to pay a fine . I think the wife was charged also . This happened 3 or 4 years ago . Someone reported him for shooting from the machinery .

Wasting a tag on a 4 pointer is a pretty sorry statement ! Don't shoot the 4 pointers and you still have the tag for the Big Boy ,,,,,, if he shows up . I heard of a guy who shoots a buck and uses his dad's tag and then has his own for a big rack deer . If I had any evidence , I would turn his ass in to the authorities .

Agree ............ Using someone else's tag is no different than poaching .

Made it to Geneseo dark and early . Took the 2 man blind and set it into a brushy area near the creek where I had put a trail cam that I removed last week . Trimmed a few saplings , thorns , etc and set the chair blind up . It was a cold morning . Sat until 11:30 and then went to my car to warm up . Drove to town and got something to eat . Back to my sister in law's . Helped her put 30 bales of hay in her barn loft and then put my hunting clothes back on went back to the blind . I had noticed a tree that looked odd . Checked it out and it had a pretty good rub on it . There was a nearby sapling that was tore up pretty good . Packed my stuff up at 4:20 and headed for my car . All I saw all day was a possum at 4 pm . Here are the rubs :

Well .... let's carry it a bit further . The speed limit is 55 and folks drive 65 ( some more ) . On the X-way it's 65 and people drive 75 (and more) . So legal hunting time is 7:30 and some are shooting at 6:30 . If shooting is allowed 1/2 hour before sunrise will those same people that shoot at 6:30 , shoot even earlier . Same goes for sunset hours . If I drive in excess of the speed limit , I am taking a chance of getting a ticket and paying a fine . Same goes for shooting before or after hours with a heftier penalty .

You can't shoot 3 bucks ..........

I have gotten pics of trespassers on my SIL's property . I send the pics to her and let her sort it out as I don't know who they are and I am 50 miles away from her .

It's ILLEGAL and it's up to your father to fill his own tag . It makes a difference . Using someone elses tag is the same as poaching !

Nice job . You were smart to pursue him without any violence . " I was running because you were chasing me " ----- yeah right ! lol

Too bad it's not a fever as it will be in the 20's in Geneseo this am . Just hope this old body can last a few hours as it is forecasted to feel like the weather will be in the teens .

I guess I will give Geneseo another try and head there in the am . I havn't seen anything in Ontario or Walworth . My sister in law has seen a few deer traveling across her lower pasture lot in Geneseo . She wants to get a couple PU truck loads of hay tomorrow so I could take a break from the action ( or lack of action ) and help unload it and run it up the conveyor . It's gonna be ccccccold so i will take my 2 man chair blind to at least be out of the wind .

Ever notice how the elite teams get the calls that go for them !
