You should have received two BOW/MZ tags. One either sex and one anterless only tag. You should also have a regular season tag Anterlered only. The regular tag is also good on the Island. If you put in for doe permits did you choose zone 1C? If not you not get a DMP. If you did not put in for a DMP then you may be able to apply for them. Check with your licensing dealer.

I really don't see how it would make a differance. I hunt opening week end and the weekends after that as well. The rest of rifle season is not as active after the first 2 days. Went back up the week end following opening day and the deer were all out in the fields with no pressure at all. So why break up the season? Unless the intent is to get more hunters into the woods like it is a second opening day.

NO! You shortened the rifle season. Why? Why not leave the rifle season as is and run a Muzzle Loarder / Archery season to the 31st.

If you can't go up, go down. Dig a pit and brush around it giving yourself some shooting lanes.

The question is "are you meat hunters or trophy hunters?" If you kill one doe you still have the fawns that will breed. A fawn born early in the spring can come into esterus in the winter rut. Give the spike a pass this year. Bucks will roam long distances during the rut to find does in season. So no worries about the does getting bred if you take the buck. You may want to limit your take according to the population you have seen on your property.

There are many water proof Goretex Boonie hats on the market. Check out the Sportsmans guide, Cabelas or any big hunting chain. As for the quiver, you need one with good grips. I use a Treelimb quiver and never had an arrow fal out.

Thanks

AT member here as well. I use the same handle.

If this law passes mark my words. Gun owners will be shot in their homes by the police as they kick in your door at 3 am to come confiscate your guns.

250 Savage 7mm-08 Compound Bow

There is only one way to find out how the hunters of this state feel about crossbows. Have the DEC put out a servey questionare when you purchase your 2012-13 license. Each hunter would be asked a few questions that would be asked and their answers would be entered into the computer at the time of purchase.

I have to echo what has been said already. The 7mm-08 is a great deer rifle cartridge.

Your video's are always entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
