Not sure what I would have done . The DEC guys are spread pretty thin so do you let it suffer for a few more hours or put it out of it's misery ? I think I would 1st try calling the DEC and ask if I could put it down and then see if I could keep the meat .

Pat , Welcome to Hunting NY ............

Got the 2014 Bowhunter Sighting Log in the mail from the DEC today . I have been doing this for several years and have a 5 year and 10 year patch . It's a fun thing to do .

I have a 2 string peep on one bow and a 3 string peep on another bow . The tube peep makes a noise when shooting and breaks at the most inconvenient time . The 3 string peep has to be set just right or one of the strings can block your view . The 2 string peep is probably the way to go .........

I have been shooting my Ben Pearson TX-4 60# bow in the back yard with no problem . I put a new single pin sight on my Parker Phoenix E-Z draw 70# bow and shot that today . What a difference 10# of draw makes for a 73 year old . Wow ! What is the estimated poundage change when backing off the limb bolts one complete turn ? At one time , I thought it was 2 1/2 lbs of draw weight .

I fletch mine with 2 purple and i white Quick Spin vanes ..........no special reason . I just bought another pack of 100 purple vanes on ebay because I couldn't find them anywhere else .

Congrats ...... Great News !

Good info ...... I would add a - primer pocket uniformer tool . It cleans out and squares the shoulders of the pocket .

It might be helpful to someone who is trying to get started with reloading . As the ammo prices keep climbing , I would bet that more people will try their hand at reloading .

I have one more lane where I can shoot a bit south east . I chopped the tops of the weeds there as I didn't want to make a path to the stand . Now , I just hope it works out . It would probably be a better Gun stand because when some shooting starts the deer sometimes use the horse trail to escape from one property to another . It would have been nice to have had access to a brush hog instead of doing it by a Grunt .......... !

There is an East / West trail that the GV Hunt Club uses and I cut down a lot of the weeds to make that a possible shooting lane . It is North of the blind .

Doc --- I went back today to pretty much finish up so I can stay away for 3 weeks . Cleared out some more area . The brown circle is the camera 13 yards away . The green blob is 16 yards and the red blob is 21 yards . I chopped the tops off some of the weeds after taking the picture to make a larger shooting area .

My wife and I have been married for 52 years . No problem with hunting . She considers herself a widow from Oct 1 to the end of ML season . I told her that I would consider using one of out Timeshare weeks the beginning of November after having 4 weeks of Bow Season . It would be a break for me and make her happy . Will spend a week in The Poconos and hour away from Cabelas ......

Welcome to Hunting NY .............

Checked out the cam today and saw these pics

Git 'r done !

My sister in law bought 69 acres several years ago . It took a few years for people to know that it wasn't open hunting on the land anymore . She wasn't afraid to tell anyone that her property was posted and that they were Tresspassing . Bubba hit the nail on the head ...... your troubles have just begun but in the end it will be worth the effort .

Wow , the Jersey Giants only lost by 21 points ........

No problem with my wife . Her dad got me started with deer hunting .

The only hunting show I enjoyed in the past couple years is the one with those clowns in New England that were shooting Urban Deer . It wasn't the plain old canned hunt show . They messed around with each other like some guys would do at camp .

I can move my flag from half mast now ! The Bills were doing well the 1st half and it looked like they were going to piss away the game .......... I still don't understand the Ref picking up the flag that was thrown for offensive holding but it was a rallying point for the Bills ! Same thing on a bad Pass interference call on the Bills . Chicago is Obama's home town and I bet he had something to do with those calls !

I havn't watched a hunting show in at least a year and that was the 1st in a long time . Too many commercials selling deer bait , etc .. You watched the kill and the guy has to explain what you just saw . Why ? I saw it ! And ..... of course the hunter continues to whisper after the deer is down . It's a rarity to see a guy shoot a doe on one of these shows . The hunter is tracking the deer he shot and all of a sudden he screams "there he is" but the camera man is on the other side of the deer taping as the hunter makes the find . Give me a break !

The one I installed doesn't have the fiberglass rods . It has double metal rods for support . I put a tarp on the floor and I have a section of 5'X5' carpet rolled up that I will unroll when I get into the stand . I bolted a wooden strip across the back legs and front legs so the legs wouldn't punch through and the chair can slide . I will probably use it for an afternoon stand as I would probably spook anything on the way to the stand in the morning darkness .

Hopefully what I opened up will give me a shot during bow season . It would probably be better during gun season when some of that crap gets knocked down .
