Near Worcester and walked the woods and found this the first day, not bad at all :)

1 slick trick, 1 FP, 1 Bareshaft looking forward to the season ;)

if you cannot see the "orange" ring your peep is too constricted, if there is too much space in between your peep view and the orange ring peep maybe to large or sight housing too small

In a perfect world your peep view should act like a HALO around the outside of your site housing like this crude illustration

True, i can generally anchor eyes closed and when i open it's centered

Same routine Center Housing in peep check level put pin on traget squeeze off

you used both first and second choice for Upstate? i've always used my first choice for upstate and 2nd choice as 1C since its guaranteed

so much for that 2 year program

.

They will never have an early muzzle loader season on long island

Beautiful typical 10 and body of a cow... Man some of the comments accusations maybe rename the site whinersofny.com On top of the I can't shoot a buck for the first 2 weeks (I'm guessing the everyone gets a trophy generation ) give it a break

For all those afraid of contaminating a buck area what do you suppose happens when you check your cams?

Maybe the rich guy was upset about doe only zones so he decided to feed the deer rather than hunt the first 2 weeks, figured he would really show the DEC what revolting is all about

Maybe he was hunting PA, maybe he owns chickens who knows

Last year get to my spot get dressed go grab bow in backseat, whoops no bow, called my wife and she hopped in her car and met me half way, she's awesome

Good time to explore and setup areas, if I want a buck I'll head upstate to 4F no antler restrictions either for now 1c and follow along does only

2 years that's fine I can still hunt far more days then years ago

Plenty of guys doing Their part and putting does in the freezer here, for those sitting out don't complain next year since spite will get you nowhere

Some will always find something to complain about, what is the DEC taking away your chance to shoot a buck in the first 2 weeks out of a 4 month season?

It's a regulated species and it's the job of the DEC to set the rules do you feel blackmailed on antler restrictions too? They new rules have been put in place to benefit the herd not YOU never been about YOU so get over it, any clue how many deer were yard ed up last year on long Island fawns and does starved and frozen solid? Do you feel blackmailed that you can't hunt in september? They extended the season by a month last year do you feel blackmailed all they are asking is your cooperation didn't realize that was so hard to conform too

Its a shame that it's come to the point that we need to take out so many does but part of that is due to the antler seekers that want nothing but a mount, many will even hate to admit they don't like eating deer, me personally I rather eat deer than beef but that's just me, those who have the biggest gripe with the new regulation are the ones who are part of the problem don't shoot anything unless it's a giant and if you don't eat venison then I understand but my last meal I wouldn't request a 6.5yr old 12pt buck, it would be a 1.5 yr old doe So it's fill the freezer first and focus on a giant around Halloween

Started really hunting the island 5 years ago. Such great opportunities 30min from home and learn something new everytime out, deer actually act lkme deer out here rubs/scrapes etc.. and much better buck doe ratios than upstate. now i go upstate for the fresh air and peace and quiet but stick to the island for the deer

Great show and a good author too. Check it out if you havent ready read his book meateater. Im now down to 3 shows I can actually watch meateater, jim shockey unchartered and deer and deer hunting

I stand corrected yes it was bison... and yes all bear should always be well done

Sounds like how steve rinella took a piece of bear meat and squirted it with the bile from the gall bladder and then ate it.... i will try different things but im not that adventurous
