I take it off and hang it from something when I get in the stand . For me , a quiver is just something to get the arrows from the vehicle to the stand .

No it doesnt, it lists name and address, thats it. I sit corrected . I corrected my statement just before your post . The number on the list , just before the name has nothing to do with a Permit # . The list numbers are in sequence with names being alphabetically listed . Anyway , what can an anti-gun or anti-hunter do with the list ?

MY father in law had an old Stevens 22 single shot bolt action . Many times , when you pulled the trigger , the rifle didn't fire . If you took the same 22 and rotated it in the chamber , it would generally fire . Problem with the firing pin . There is a place to put duds at the rifle range . Someone eventually takes care of the but I don't know how .

Nice pics Dave . That 2nd from the bottom pic looks like he's laughing at the camera .

They have a QDM group in Italy Valley . I have gone to a couple of their meetings . Most of the locals have joined . Since they started the QDM , they have been harvesting bigger bucks and have been taking more does . No one is beat up for shooting a spike , fork horn , etc ...It's just an agreement , not written in blood !

Welcome to Hunting NY , Cris . Careful about saying anything negative about crossbows or you might be branded as an anti-hunter . I commend you for what you have been able to accomplish in your archery endeavors !

I should be getting my license in the mail pretty soon then ......

I'm on the old list . It has a number which has nothing to do with my permit , a name with middle initial and no address ......... I am on the new list also with address but there is no reference to Permit #

Well , Git "r done !!! .. ..

I carry the 223 set on 6X . If a chuck is real close , it is hard to see . It's just a blur . I talking like walking along and spotting one at say 20 yards . My Contender barrels sport 2X6 scopes . My NEF Huntsman has a 1.5 X 4.5 scope . I have a 4X20 on the NEF 25-06

I certainly have and I don't put down anyone that does during bow season as any deer you can take with a bow might be a trophy to that person . I have some antlers in the garage no no mounts . Last year I passed up shots on some 4 and 6 pointers knowing that there were much larger bucks in the area . If a doe had come along , I would have dropped her . Well guess what ! I ended up taking a button buck that I thought was a doe and never filled a buck tag last year . I didn't feel bad because I was spending time outside and saw some gray fox , red fox , turkeys , racoons , etc .. Any time outside is quality time .

It lists a name and a permit # . If I only ever had one handgun and sold it , my name would still be on the list . If I have 20 handguns , no one would know by looking at the list .

That is quite an interesting video . It's dying out as no new blood is joining .

I started to go out yesterday but the skeeters forced me out of the woods . They are really bad this year !

I have a 6 X 24 scope on a 223 . If a woodcheck is close , I can't see him in the scope .

I'm not happy about the list being out ther but i'm not going to get paranoid over it ............The sky isn't falling !

The Web Site and list was posted over a week ago on here . What's done is done .

I'll continue to cover the barrel . I would rather be safe than sorry .

Sounds like you had a fun time and that your drive was worth it .........

This is one of the ways the DEC gets counts . They have archery hunters keep track of their hunting hours and what they see when on stand . What you see while driving to your area doesn't go into the count .

This is one of the ways that the DEC gets an idea of what wildlife activity there is in an area . They have archers do the counts . This is an older report .

A few years ago I was talking to a farmer's wife , in Groveland ,who wanted woodchucks shot on their property . She told me "under no circumstances was I to shoot any coyotes because they helped keep the woodchuck population down and also thinned out her barn cats" . She said her barn cat population was down to about 17 ....... ??? .. ??? .. ???

If I needed something done to my bow that I felt I couldn't handle , I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Trophy Taker Archery in Walworth . Dave has a small shop in the lower level of his home . He was quite cordial and did excellent work . And , he is closest to me . I havn't been able to catch Gueren-teed Archery open when I am in the area (which is seldom) .

I have some of the PASTE lube but don't like it . A guy at the gun shop said I could squeeze some out and add some water and use that . Hmmmmmmmmmmm ! ???

That Fox has an itchy trigger paw ! : .. : .. :
