  1. If you have the county permits, there's plenty of good spots. Depending on where you live and how far you want to travel. If you're looking for a slammer buck, then you might have more problems filling your tags. Does are pretty plentiful , but the larger bucks are going to have a lot more pressure on them. Try getting out during the week when there's less pressure. Good luck.

  2. A lot of the public spots on Long Island are filled with those damn Cats Eyes. I think every idiot marks the way to their tree with them. As far as the tape, I've come across a lot of that too. Some just marks the spit to go in for some people if they are walking in on a deer run that crosses a fire trail . I've used the tape in the past, but only while tracking. It does help when tracking through an area you're not familiar with. I also take it down on my way back out.

  3. I've never had a bad dealing with them, whether I was hunting or fishing. Most of the ones I've come across hunt and fish. I also don't do stupid or illegal crap. I have had 1 ask me about the salt water license while fishing the local dock with my 6 yr old, even though we were throwing everything back, and never asked the other fisherman from South of the Border for anything.....

    Last season, an ECO walked about 10 yards under my stand , I whistled , he was surprised. I asked if he. Emended me to comedown and check my license. He then replayed , nope, I don't want to mess your hunt up and left the same way he came in.

  4. Practice from your stand and with the clothes you hunt in. It's different hunting with bulky clothes on when your hearts beating like crazy. Shooting paper is a lot different. Take your time and make sure you get good shots. Don't expect to shoot a slammer the first time out. Enjoy the woods, and good luck.

  5. I've had kids destroy a stand that was locked to a tree. But, if stuff is missing it's probably another hunter. They know where and what to look for. I have come across a lot of stands in the woods and wouldn't think of taking someone's stand. Even the ones on private property, I've left notes on asking to move stand. There are a lot of bad hunters that would steal stands, cameras, and downed deer.

  6. I used to rifle in Columbia years ago. Always had idiot yelling up the mountain at everyone hunting. They backed up to state property and were pissed that there were hunters in the woods. I moron even threatened to send her dog after everyone.... Not a real bright idea, luckily I like dogs more than most people..
