Culvercreek hunt club

Pretty simple ....Choice and it is archery equipment. Why are you so against it? Nothing personal but I find the majority of the people are against it dance around the real reason they oppose it and that usually boils down to feeling that someone will have an advantage over them in getting a deer or, heaven forbid, a big buck. Again, more worried about what others are doing than gauging their own hunting happiness based on their own experience. I may choose to use a crossbow down the road when i can no longer pull a compound. Have even considered a recurve. I can only see me picking a crossbow up prior to that if there was an opportunity to expand my hunting season.

Same situation with the youth gun hunt in archery season. Sky was falling on that too and I haven't heard a shot in the last two years on those days...lol

Anthony Weiner sets out sexting a 15 year old and ends up screwing a 69 year old.

I have the old style and that is exactly how I use it. It gives much better control of the sound. it has to be blown into in the upright position though.

I must have missed the part of the regulation that said compound hunters had to use a crossbow? must have been the same wording where the traditional archers had to use the compound when they were included? Hunters are a pitiful f'in group. More worried about others than your own experience. I don't buy into the "crossbows will ruin your hunting".

but that is really the tail wagging the dog. management after the fact. (They do enough of that anyway...lol)

let me rephrase this then since you are playing so coy. Why should a guy have to purchase a special privilege to get one with such crappy odds like you described and we get a guarantee? why not just draw and everyone is on the same playing field?

Didn't chase the gun hunters away did it? What makes us so special that we get a shot at a doe and a guy that only gun hunts shouldn't get a shot at one?

I am not busting balls and it does really tie to the spirit of this thread. I hunt every season and in both zones. But why should I get a shot at a doe that another hunter that just gun hunts doesn't? Heck the tag we get with bow or ML for the most part isn't even controlled to an area that they are needed for the most part. (just a few NZ areas that won't allow take of antlerless using them). I just think they should be more controlled and every hunter in NY should have ea shot. I spent a lot of years growing up with 2 or 3 of us on a permit and most times it was an every other year success for the draw but there were 2 year dry spells. Went years without seeing a horn in the woods but we all still enjoyed it and hunted hard.

not many tags down where you hunt?

so you are going to make hunters in the NZ earn a buck when they can't take a doe? Who said anything about EAB

You are missing the point. The herd should be managed through the permit system in my opinion.

Why?

let me ask. (And I take full advantage of this during northern Zoned muzzleloader). Why should I be able to shoot a doe with a bow or ML and a person that just gun hunts doesn't get a chance at an antlerless? That is why I said that all antlerless should be by lottery. if you get a tag burn it up with whatever weapon is allowed in the season.

Personally I would love to see full inclusion. Couple it with a one buck rule and handle ALL antlerless through the lottery system.

warranty after two years?

I got two years out of mine. Same ones you got. Then they just started to crack and degrade in just a few months. Still worth every penny becasue I normally end up running a stick through them anyways...lol

right on the button. That court does NOT have jurisdiction over the entire state. Kind of like the "feeding deer" ruling from a few years ago.

Nope. Never changed the law

At least we don't have to worry about last years regular season being used up in NZ for early bow as an either sex anymore. LOL

yup that is how I got to 9 tags.

I'd love to see the jaw on that one. I am betting 3-1/2. I can't see the actual waist because of the tree, but he has that "race horse" appearance. and a fuller neck to the brisket than I would expect on a 2-1/2 year old.

but it is actually a very good conditioning exercise.

Gut it an get as much out as you can. get it home, hang it and rinse it out. Never, never never used water in the field like a stream or pond. You will introduce other creepy crawlies. very little of the meat will actually be in contact with the contents of the cavity. After rinsing and skinning, I trim a thin layer off the inside of the hind quarters that boarder the cavity but it really sin't that much of an area. and honestly there is still membranes over it. The only other meat that would be in contact would be the tenderloins. if it is really a concern to you and the diaphragm is intact, don't remove forward of the diaphragm forward until you hang and rinse. Personally i just rinse the tenderloins off and never had a problem

I don't believe those are the only reasons to hunt. What about the challenge pitting yourself against one of the smartest animals in the woods, a mature whitetail. And I am not just talking about bucks. I played cat and mouse with one doe over 3 seasons. Could always tell it was her becasue of the unique white features on her head. That do busted me more times than I can count. I don't know what ever became of her but she was one cunning little vixen.
