Season for the DMFA starts middle of Jan

Looking for land around the Ithaca area to hunt during the middle of January. I have filled out all the permits and have applied through Cornell so I have some options, the only problem is you have to reserve areas am and pm. I would like to find an area and learn a property and maybe have a property to hunt in the future. Would be willing to help out in any way I could in hopes of gaining permission. Thanks.

Call Summit mine did the same thing and they sent me a replacement for free

Muzzy, is this all of Tomkins or just certain areas?

Sits in trees. You have some major issues, in 2 of the posts you made on this topic you made racial comments towards Asians as "chincks" looking like martians then Mexicans as "wetbacks". In your avatar picture is a Catholic Cardinal. Do you realize how f-d up the whole catholic religion is? Wake up you RACIST , this country would be better off with less people like U in it

Muzzy, don't think so at first I thought a flock of turkeys, big area , couldn't make out any hoof prints, to dry looked for droppings didn't see any. Some of the area was dug 4-6 inches deep. Gonna call the ranger tomorrow

While out scouting on a WMU this weekend I came across an area that was ripped up and the only thing I think it could be was from hogs. This was in Schuyler County, was wondering if anyone has heard of populations of them up there?

So are you in favor of crossbows? Don't know what your issue is, I asked legitamate questions and this is your response.Don't know, maybe time to change the depends

February 13, you said " you do not support crossbows" Then I bring up what would you do if you couldn't draw back a compound, now you do NOTcare about crossbows in archery. Well what is it? Still waiting for what your view was when Ny switched from traditional to compounds? I "READ YOUR PRINT" and didn't see a response.

Bringing women and youngsters into hunting is a bad thing?How many people go out in the woods with there ccompound and don't practice?

Fasteddie, interesting post especially when I view your profile, you use a Parker and Pearson compound bows. Being 70 years old what were your views when NY first switched from traditional, longbows , to compounds?What would your views be if you couldn't draw back your compound?Would you give up hunting or would you get an Xbow if it became legal for archery?If you love hunting like I assume you do, would you forfeit nearly 2 months of hunting or would you own one?

Thank you for the answer. I love going to Ny to hunt, just wish they pass xbows for archery so my friend would come up to camp again.Hopefully soon

Being from Pa, I was wondering if the topic of legalizing xbows is coming up for a vote for the upcoming archery season? A good friend of mine can't hunt (physically) with a compound but would love to get out there with a xbow. He doesn't even go to camp during archery season because he gets so bummed out. Should xbows be legal for archery,don't know. Should xbows be legal for people who are physically unable to use a compound during archery, absolutely.Most people who are physically limited are senior citizens, I know that my friend can't sit more than a few hours during gun season because of the cold, at least during archery he could enjoy it more and might get to get out there a few more times.It's pretty sad that people are forced out of the sport they love when their is an easy solution.

I never carry a gun when hiking,lots of bears and coyotes in my area. My biggest concern are peoples dogs. I had 2 Rottweiller mix looking dogs one day come at me, by the time I figured I should climb a tree they were on me. Thank god they were both friendly and only wanted to be petted. If I had a gun with me I definately would of probably shot.

Was wondering if anyone has hunted there and what your overall opinions on it were. Not looking for deer numbers just was looking into what your overall experience was.
