That is a monster print! I'd like to see the deer that made that.

hahahaha

Yea, I missed that, sorry.

=O I love it. I'll take 2! Maybe I can finally get up that old logging road

ohhh, haha, alright

I could have SWORN your post didnt say slugs in it the first time I read it....

Maybe you are'nt aware either. You can only use slugs when hunting big game in NY. Buckshot is illegal.Page 24. "Implement Descriptions For Big Game Hunting The following describes implement requirements for Big Game Hunting. See map above to determine where each can be used. Bow— Long (stick), recurve or compound bow with a draw weight greater than 35 lbs. A legal arrowhead is nonbarbed, has 2 or more cutting edges and is at least 7⁄8 inches wide. Crossbow—consists of a bow, a string, and either compound or recurve limbs with minimum width of 17 inches (tip of limbs, uncocked), mounted on a stock. The stock shall have a trigger with a working safety that holds the string and limbs under tension until released. It shall have a minimum overall length from the butt of the stock to the front of the limbs of 24 inches and be able to launch a minimum 14 inch arrow/bolt, not including the legal arrowhead. It shall have a draw weight of 100 to 200 pounds. Muzzleloader—Firearm loaded through the muzzle, a minimum bore of .44 inches and shooting a single projectile. Scopes or fiber-optic sights may be used at any time. Double-barreled muzzleloaders and percussion cap revolvers are not legal during the special muzzleloading season. If you hunt with a single-shot muzzleloading pistol, you must have a New York State pistol permit. Handgun—Any centerfire pistol or revolver. Barrel length may not exceed 16 inches. Note: Nonresidents may not use handguns to hunt in New York. Shotgun—Must be 20 gauge or larger and fire a single projectile. Rifling in the barrel or choke is allowed. Rifle—Any centerfire rifle."

what a fool. Does he even know that you can only shoot deer with a slug?

Sounds stupid to put clothes in with leaves, but you put yours in with corn?

well if someone really wasn't hunting coyote then yes, I'd agree. But I have made it clear that I really do hunt coyote after hunting deer some nights, and there is nothing wrong with that.And for the last time, I have never shot a deer outside of legal shooting light, and I have no intentions to. Don't hate furbearer hunters.

I just use a mental list... Would you mind posting yours?

What the hell was that?!

lol, yea, Ive seen this guy before.

Nice buck there

I think 30-06 is gonna be king here

yeaaaaaaa, thats a weird one alright... what the.....

How is it beating the system if I am in full compliance with the law?

Pay special attention to the part that is bold and larger then the rest of the text. It came right off page 51 of the book. "Hunting Furbearers At Night All laws pertaining to the use of a spotlight apply (see page 18). 1. If you are hunting in an area when any deer season (including bowhunting) is open: ͪͪYou may hunt during the day or night. ͪͪYou may use a light, but you may not hunt from any motor vehicle, including an ATV. ͪͪYou may use a shotgun, muzzleloader, bow, handgun or air gun. ͪͪYou may use any rimfire rifle, except in Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk counties where rifles are not allowed. ͪͪYou may use any centerfire rifle ONLY if rifles are also allowed for deer hunting in that area. (Refer to Legal Implements map on page 24.) 2. If you are hunting in an area when all deer seasons are closed: ͪͪYou may hunt during the day or night. ͪͪYou may use a light. ͪͪYou may use a shotgun, muzzleloader, bow, handgun or air gun. ͪͪYou may use any rifle of any caliber, except in Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties, where rifles are not allowed."

It is NOT illegal to hunt coyote with a deer caliber rifle during deer season (EDIT: IN MY AREA). Also, I'm not trying to "beat the system". I have never shot a deer before sunrise or after sunset, and I dont have a want or need to. I hunt HUGE tracts of state land. At times I am a mile deep in the woods and I will sit until legal light had passed. I often carry my spotlight and coyote calls in my pack. Sometimes as im walking out of the woods, I will try to call some coyote, if i dont hear anything, i keep walking, if I do, maybe ill sit for a little while. If I come across a gut pile, you can bet I will sit on it for a few hours before comming out of the woods. I'm not trying to beat the system, I comply with every part of it. I hunt more than one species, I hope you can understand that.

That is just plain absurd. There is no law that states you must know those times and I don't know anyone who does. And I can walk in and out of the woods what ever damn time I want. If they ask what your doing in the woods after dark, tell them coyote hunting.DEP officer asked a buddy of mine after legal shooting light why he still had an arrow knocked on his bow, he told him the same as I would have said "Coyote, racoon, fox, etc.."

Also, found here http://www.eregulations.com/newyork/hunting/sunrisesunset/

There is a chart in the regulations magazine.

Pet store. You can use wood chips (instead of dirt) over the existing base and just hot glue them all down. The wood chips look nice, great color, and smell good too! (atleast for a few weeks). The fake plants and grass and moss, etc can be found at a pet shop too.

Well a few things.1) Do you think you will need more than 6 rounds? I don't think I ever fired 6 rounds in a season. 2) A 10 grain difference isn't going to make much difference until you get out to some serious yardage. Especially with a .280.

hahaha, that is funny sh!t
