Welcome to Hunting NY . Make sure you have a lot of PopCorn handy !

I doubt that the farmers would bother to report any deer killed by their farm equipment and that any deer killed would be a part of any report .

Fawns aren't the only ones that succumb to farm equipment .......

We have only had a sprinkling here in Ontario . I was going to help my son take down some ladder stands and possibly put them up on other properties but he said it was raining in Honeoye Falls and didn't want to take a chance on one of us getting hurt by slipping on the ladders or him making his torn biceps muscle any worse .

Yes , a thread can be unlocked but seldom done . Usually , it's locked for a good reason like maybe it has gotten totally out of hand . The only threads I have locked are the ones in the classifieds when an item has been SOLD . Is there a thread that you feel should be unlocked ?

Don't make ants do that again !

Been shooting the bow . Going to cut and fletch some new arrows and use the arrows I hunted with for practice . My oldest son injured his bicep muscle so tomorrow afternoon , I will help him move some atands from a property and put them up elsewhere .

I found the quality of the video was excellent but the content was boring ......

Chuck doesn't pull any punches !

fawns are growing ............

I have 2 cameras set up in Geneseo and anxious to check them out . I expect to be moving them to other areas on the property to see what activity is there . Those are both Moultrie . I have some others that are battery eaters and won't set them up on that property as it is 50 miles away .

Wooly ----- That report was just released yesterday ...........

Some great looking deer !

Pygmy ----- It's a rifled barrel shooting rifled slugs . My response was to "sbuff" who was telling me that I shouldn't be putting rifled slugs through a rifled barrel . With my deteriorating eyesight I doubt I could group well anymore . I have only shot it twice in the past 5 years and got a couple doe on Opening Day hunting . I havn't had it at the range in longer than that . Havn't adjusted the sight in over 20 years . I take the shotgun out opening day of gun season and carry the ML or pistol the rest of the season . With my deteriorating eyesight I doubt I could group well anymore .

Getting an answer from the DEC can be difficult . When I asked a question about the legality of using a deer decoy while hunting and that I couldn't find anything in the Regs saying it's legal , I was told by a DEC officer , " If it doesn't say it's illegal , then it is legal" ! So , I would tend to believe that since it doesn't say we cannot bow hunt during a youth season , then we would be able to do so .

I think that's photo shopped ----bears don't crap in the woods anymore and here is why ............

I have 2 Bear Paws . tried a few others but love the Bear Paw Release .

What I am implying is ...... kids don't learn to fail if they don't grow up in the real world . I take that little Billie Bob or Sally Mae isn't capable of shooting waterfowl , turkey or deer during the regular season so let's do something special . Maybe Daddy doesn't want them in the way when it's his turn to hunt ! Heck , why not take the kid to a fenced in deer farm or a hunting preserve and let them blast away !

I think the Youth Hunt would be more of the "dumbing down of America" ...... a kid needs an edge because he might not get a deer when Daddy hunts . Kids can not get 70's on their tests so they lower the passing score . Kids cry when they lose a game so they make them all winners and even the worst teams get trophies . Why can't a dad or mentor take their kid out opening day of deer season to hunt ? Learning the hard way makes for learning REALITY . Could it be that Daddy wouldn't want to give up a shot on a trophy deer if it came by ?

Gee Bubba , I thought I taught you better . You have to put a "lol" or "smiley face" after some posts so folks wouldn't take a joke as something serious . lol ,,,,, ,,, ,,,, ,,,,

Looks like they had fun . Nice camo job !

Winchester 1200 pump with a Weaver Qwik-Point sight . Winchester and Federal rifled slugs cloverleaf at 50 yards and 3" group at 100 . Most shots are 50 yards or less . Havn't needed to shoot more than 2 slugs a year . I used to sight in just before every deer season with no adjustment , then every 2 years then every 5 years . I havn't adjusted the sight in over 20 years and yes , I had taken the barrel off , put it back on with no adjustment . I tried sabots a few years ago with same results and havn't found it necessary to use them .

The latest issue also has a crap load of Trail Cameras , treestands , hunting clothes , etc .

I carry the shotgun opening day of gun season . After that , I carry the ML . The ML is more fun to shoot !
