    As long as xbows are covered in one of the already existing safety courses or their own safety course I'm good. I'll be honest, I gained a lot of important info from the safety courses I took at ages 11 and 30, but most of what I learned about hunting with any implement came from field experience, like most things in life.

    PA has been doing it that way for a few years for inline statewide. Splits archery season in half. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Got a few legal minutes left...haven't heard or seen a thing this late AM in 7j. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'd say it is just changing coats and was traveling through thick stuff. There are striations all over its coat including the face and neck (pic 3). There are lots of ugly deer this time of year: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Setup the Grounder 250...I'll be comfy/cozy in there by 4:45am: I shot a few arrows out of it from 15-35yds...dead on. I do wish the windows were a bit lower on this blind...packed some blocks to raise my seat a tad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2012 PSE Bow Madness XS, GT EH 5575, Rage 2-blade: When my wife joins me she will be using her PSE Mini-Burner, Redhead Blackouts & Rocket 3-blades. We'll be hunting out of a Barronett Grounder 250 Blind & on Primos Qs3 Seats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm an Eastern PA transplant myself, nice to see a quality hunting business operating down there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Never once and we are supposed to have them in spades here in 7j between Sempronius and Cold Brook. I guess that's exactly the point...they are hard to hunt even with dogs and drives in this rugged/rolling terrain. Get the pros out there to take care of the problem en mass.

    There's a bunch of places that have them some under $120. https://www.google.com/search?q=big+mike+blind&client=safari&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ei=tV5eU_PtAcLnsASq_4KoDA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&biw=320&bih=356#spd=5479438317407610374 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any system can be abused...if caught those who abuse will be prosecuted. If someone has gone to the trouble to get and administer dmaps they are most likely not abusing. Nuisance tags are the actual problem and should be done away with as they don't require a sinister plan to do serious damage to a herd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Started on my 5th 5lb batch of sliced/smoked jerky, I'm getting it down to a science. Sliced about twice as thick as the first time I tried: I also add less than 1/4 the salt as the first attempt and apple juice is all that comprises the brine now...smoke flavors it plenty. I'll shove it in the smoker tomorrow am and pull it out tomorrow evening. Keeping myself busy in anticipation of some spring archery hunting Thursday...maybe I'll make turkey jerky next weekend if I get lucky, haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'd say that's a sweeping generalization and I would point to Nuisance Tags as the real problem as there are no limits to them where DMAPs are simply antler-less permits used in season. I will also repeat my original statement which considers the qualification of concerned land owners/managers: "DMAPs are the best local population management tool, but they require concerned and educated land owners or land managers." The main thrust of my post is that when private land owners care about conservancy they can help control pops by granting access AND administering DMAPs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I go with a coarse grind like an Italian sauasage. If it's too fine I end up with wurst...more like hot dog consistency. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hunter Access Programs exist here in the Northeast as well. I agree that the more available land the better. I help manage a 6000+ acre chunk east of Pittsburg...I personally posted much of the property with Cooperation Wins signs provided by PA DCNR: http://www.paforestry.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/GN201109-Hunter-Access-Program-1.pdf http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=620379&mode=2 Here in NY there are a few FWMA Cooperatives: Jersey opens up a lot of very small suburban parks to bows (NY & PA also do this): http://www.co.hunterdon.nj.us/hunting/instruct.htm DMAPs are the best local population management tool, but they require concerned and educated land owners or land managers.

    I just picked up the Barronett Grounder 250 and a Primos Qs3 Chair...I'll use em for turkey with the bow. My dad and grandad can use it for whitetails. I've heard good things about all the Barronett models and really really good things about Rhino XP-1 if you want to spend about 33% more.

    You pick and parse...I never said follow the agency blindly (or questioned your creds)...I'm saying on a macro level they have better info then the individual. Manage the herd you hunt locally, but be aware of the larger picture. In terms of pop control the DEC just released their intended message...Fill More Tags, only 15% are being filled and that is too low. Ofcourse they don't want all 650,000 tags filled....they don't want to hand that many out, they have to. You are the one who advocated prioritizing "buck time" to herd management. What page is that in the QDM handbook?
  23. Meat Manager
    I didn't miss your record of does...it was integrated into your counter productive commentary on the time/cost considerations of doe harvests. I am also glad I don't pay for a QDMA membership when all the info is taken straight from university level research on whitetail biology/ecology. Your didactic know-it-all name dropping style is grating...I don't care how good you are or how much you know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Keep name dropping and tooting your own horn. The two key points made by the DEC in the OP were "Fill Antler-less Tags" and "Keep Passing Yearlings." You lament the doe situation by suggesting its essentially a waste of your time to concern yourself with the business end of population management, then you name drop a bunch of PhDs like I give a turd. EAB and OBR were originally brought up here as ideas to help with the lack of motivation of hunters like you to shoot does...no one is promoting blanket use of the tactics... go educate someone else. By the way my brothers got a phd in neuroscience and I talk with him frequently...that doesn't make me a neuroscientist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So you want mandatory check in but not AR (again I don't have a strong opinion either way). I am telling you the EAB works in NJ where pop control is the only priority. It is limited to the first 2 weeks of archery (mid September). If noting else it instills an attitude of population management amongst the die-hards who are out that early. By the way NJ has a format similar to your beloved Ohio. Long and very early Bow, 6 Day Firearms, special ML, long and very late bow. The difference between us is that I don't pretend to know exactly how something is going to work out before it's even been tried. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
