What would be mandated next ? Orange guns and bows . Yes , it's an exaggeration but it's not that far fetched . I still wear a Blaze orange vest and hat as well as my back tag holder is blaze orange but I don't think that blaze orange should be mandatory . What are "YOU'RE" ( ) thoughts ?

Belo --- I interpreted your "so stupid" post as implying that I or anyone was stupid for obeying the law ......... which got my dander up

Was in my chair blind at 6:30 this am . Sat there until 11 and never saw anything except squirrels . Left and came back to the blind by 12:30 . Nothing . There were tracks across the pasture lot from previous days so I expected to see something but ......No . I got my stuff packed up at 4:30 and headed for the car . Left the property around 5 pm . As I drove down Lima road I saw 4 deer in a large open field about 1 mile from where I was hunting . Saw another 4 within the next mile . If it hadn't been for the snow , I might not have seen them . I might go to Mendon tomorrow afternoon .

I guess I shouldn't think anything less of your opinion . I'm not desperate enough to want to break the law . You want to be an outlaw ..... you are STUPID !

Congrats on your deer . Nice !

Shooting hours for me tomorrow are 7:35 to 4:38 .

Gotta give Geneseo another try tomorrow . I would have tried Mendon but it's not plowed and there is no place to park . Hoping whatever made the rubs by the creek in Geneseo shows up in the morning .

That's one buck more than some of us get . I havn't seen a deer while gun hunting this year .

Don't be greedy and shoot some does ........

Dave --- No problem unless you were speeding on the way home .

Sounds like the Liberal distribution of wealth ........ pay for those that can't afford it . Don't do the crime if you can't pay the fine !

welcome to Hunting NY ..........

???????????? Who are you referring to ?

I am at my son's home watching the grandkids . We had venison for dinner . Looked out the back window and there was a doe and two fawns about 120 yards out in the mowed trail . He shot 2 of his deer out that way this past week .

I should dust off my snowshoes and try them out .

My son took his 6 year old daughter out back yesterday and he shot "her deer" . She was so excited !

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 !
