I had called the DEC about using decoys several years ago . I told the DEC officer that I didn't see anything in the Regs book saying it was legal to use decoys . He got pissy and snapped back , "if it doesn't say it's illegal in the Regulations , then it is legal" ! Soooooo , in light of that , I believe it would be legal to have both bow and gun during gun season . It's kind of a moot point as I wouldn't want to draw a bow in 20 degree weather especially being dressed for the cold weather in bulky clothes .

Sometimes it's hard not to laugh in a person's face and this would be one of those times . :

I made a few of my stands inaccessable to anyone by being able to move and lock the foot platform . Mine are all on private property . But ..... if someone got upset that I had done this and wanted to be a jerk , he could just yank out a ladder section and make a real mess . Anyway , so far - so good !

I think the guy who tamed the bear should have been named BOZO instead of the bear ! I would consider it ethical only if the shooter didn't know the bear was tame , even though what he did was legal .

You should have told the woman with the SUV that she was low on "turn signal fluid" !

Would you shoot ? ;D ... ;D ... ;D

The problem as I have seen it is .... the deer have been bedding down . I have been sitting on my butt in a blind . Unless someone gets the deer moving nothing happens . I have done some walking but havn't kicked anything up . When I leave at last light , I can see deer movement . They are smart critters !

Here is what you need

Suck it up , be a man and get out there and get a deer ! Just kiddin' .........Be careful that you don't hurt yourself and have complications ! The deer can always wait for next season . I know mine are . Be careful and get well soon .

" Possess a firearm of any description when bowhunting or when accompanying a person bowhunting during special archery seasons." Show me where it says you can't take a bow along with a gun during Firearms Season ...........

Yeah , that was a great Turkey call ! :( :D

Looks like it would be fun to shoot ....

Noon today on the national Geographics Channel ...... "Thrill Killer" As bear hibernation season approaches the effects of poaching are felt across the country.

I am sitting here with a runny nose (nothing on the keyboard) and it's 27 degrees out with a wind chill of 9 degrees . I have DMP's to fill but can't bring myself to go out hunting . Starting to feel like a wuss ! According to the weather forecast , we have a bit of snow on the way . After not seeing anything hunting , I raelly find it difficult to go out and face more frustration !

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

Welcome to Hunting NY . Where in Pennsylvania are you from ?

You had to go back several years to dig that one up ........ ...

Seeing a bobcat on a deer is something else ! ???

A few years ago I was shooting woodchucks for a farmer in Groveland . His wife told me NOT to shoot any coyotes as they helped get rid of some of the woodchucks plus they helped keep their barn cat population down . She said that they were down to 17 barncats .

Yeah , you would think that a slug traveling 333 yards wold have done some serious damage . It must have been a remington slug ...........

Hope the deer show up . We have 16 more days of hunting --- counting the bow / Ml season .

Some of the shops sell used guns on consignment ......

Headed to Geneseo yesterday am and had a deer start to cross the road 1/2 mile from where I parked . Was in my blind by 6:30 and stayed there until 10:30 . Saw a lone fox around 8:30 . Not much shooting happening . Walked down through the pond field , into the woods , and back through some thick stuff . Never saw a thing . Drove down to the village , got something to eat and used the john at walmart . Headed back to the property . As I passed Country Club Road , I looked at the field to the south and saw 2 deer running across the field and they ran behind a hunter that was facing the other way . He didn't see them until they were past him . He was smart enough to be facing the other way because if he had shot at the deer , he would have been shooting toward the highway . I was back in the stand by 1:30 and stayed until 4:30 . Left the stand while it was still light out because I didn't want to cross the rising creek in the dark . Saw absolutely nothing !

Nice going Zack !!!

I have done some sitting in blinds and also the walk and stalk and havn't had any luck other than opening day ..........
