First-light

I have only found 2 or 3 in a zillion years……..

Won't you miss all of us??

I didn't gut any and the guys didn't say anything about it. Oh well maybe next time! lol

Hey just hunted on LI yesterday. Now we went out there to hunt deer. I know my odds were very slim shooting a buck because some have shed and pressure was not high. This goes for most that hunted so with that said we mostly hunted doe and the turnout was real good. Plenty of people hunting does.

Awesome, thanks for bringing us there!

just got back in . we didn't connect but three doe and one 6 point were brought in. Happy to see some guys from Poughkeepsie NY came down and scored on a nice doe. It was great hanging with them. We saw 9 doe and 1 buck for the day.

Correct and actually we have the other spots on that side also. A friend of ours put in for spot 5. So now 7 of us will be hunting that area. Going to be cold but sunny out. Just about ready to head over to my brothers house. I report back in tonight.

You have too much coffee today or what????

Was this guy from Long Island? I read a post during gun season on FB that this guy let his 5 or 6 year old pull the trigger on a deer. When I read it I couldn't believe he posted the story.

My brother saw a nice 8 pt at spot 45 on Middle country road last Thursday. Bucks still holding horns.

We are out tomorrow. 6 of us will drive deer most of the day. I also heard Rocky point was down on deer take.

I like.

Isles look good but they are not the team to beat. It will be a great 2nd half season for sure.

Its been a long long time since any team has swept the west coast……………that's all I have to say about that!

Hey he got MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Not playing games, this will become reality very soon and I hope it works out for us.

With age comes just the opposite for me. I was pleased with the mature doe I shot at gun season. Years ago I would hold out on the does looking for a mature buck. It's always wonderful to see the elusive mature buck deer but not and end all with me.

don't get it???

Tomorrow the DEC will institute the new guide rules for deer hunting in NYS. How do I know this…..I don't just making it up. What I want to know is what you would settle for in your region. State you region and one of the scenarios in the article but not no change. Mine is for 8P we have a pretty good deer herd and a lot of bucks around. They didn't give many doe permits this year. I would vote for the 1 buck rule.

Love the taste of venison.

add 5 to that list for 6 of us. Should be great. My brother and hid daughter were out yesterday I want to say spot 45 on Middle Country road. They saw plenty of sign. His daughter saw a doe and my brother saw a nice 8 pt very dark rack. Both deer were in thick stuff leading to no shot.

It's a choice and the choice most take is shooting whatever they please which is totally within the legal boundaries. I understand what your saying but you paint with a broad brush. There are many circumstances that lead to shooting a young buck. My brother shot a small buck on his last hour of his hunting upstate this year. He knew he wasn't coming back and didn't have any meat. Stayed on stand all day in miserable weather. Now I ask that if you break your cherry on a buck please shoot something bigger next year. I was ok with this because I know how much his family enjoys the meat. My brother in law is in your camp. He has a nice piece of property that he imposes AR's upon. He lets walk some really nice 2.5 year olds looking for a really mature stud. He will shoot a few doe during the year. I have to give him credit because we both know when he is at work during the week the place next to him gets pushed by the locals all the time. Out of town leaser that owns it and it is a major bedding area. He knows that some of those deer he passes get shot. My first reaction to this news was don't tell me what I can shoot. After digesting the information I think I'm more concerned with the amount of doe and button bucks that may be taken. I don't want to see what happened in PA. Then again on my other post I want to see my out of state buddies get a shot at a DMP. Oh boy there is a lot going on here……………...

Bill, I have been thinking about the same thing. I don't want to layout a grand for the thing. I have noticed on other forums and Craigs list crossbows for sale. Give it a shot maybe you will find a nice used one.

Found it online.
