  1. In my younger years, we hunted swamps almost exclusively. The deer would flick to the high bogs and bed during the day. It was great security for them. They could hear you coming forever and had escape routes out. We would set up on the escape routes and make drives. Very effective. There were times I would be in water half way to my knees to be on watch. Then in the evening as mentioned we would set up on the trails they used to go to food areas. They would stage up on the swamp edge and wait to move out. The down falls to hunting swamps is getting a deer out if you do get one and having to track one in the swamp. Be prepared to get wet.

  2. I also hunted my new place in 6f. Weather was not our friend. I saw two small deer which I passed. Using my H&R sidekick 50 caliber with 85 grasins of blackhorn 209 harvestor crush rib sabot and 44 caliber hornady xtp 240 grain with a 777 209 primer. Nikon buckhunter 3x9x40 scope.

  3. I said this would happen 2 years ago and everyone told me I did not know what I was talking about. This is part of the affordable Care act. My response was none of your business. The next part is using your children. First they will be shown in class how bad guns are. Then questioned if there are guns in the home and do they feel safe. If they answer yes and no, guess who will be visiting. Police and child protective services. You can figure out the rest.

  4. Setting up checkpoints 50+ miles from any of these accessible border crossing areas makes no sense. I am sure there are roads that a closer to said crossing points. Smugglers are going to need road infrastructure as soon as possible. And if indeed they are crossing over through the barren wilderness, it makes even less sense to be road blocking. A helicopter sounds like a better bet.

    There is a reason why civilian groups have taken to policing our borders. The authorities have dropped the ball on this problem in a very large way. And now we have ISIS in 49 of the 50 states according to the director of the FBI. BP is a waste of tax dollars at this point.

    Well this one was right on the border on the st Lawrence river. You can see Canada from the spot it happened. Research is a good thing
  5. When I hunted in area 6a, I got a permit every 4 or so years.  I needed 3 to 4o preference points to get one.  It adds up after 40 or 50 bucks.  I use the muzzleloader instead. In 6f now, there are no dmps.  Early Muzzleloading I can get a doe.  Otherwise it is bucks only for me.

  6. I cannot find in this years rules where we can use last years tags from 9/27-30 .  This may be a thing of the past now?

     

     

    You can not any more Tags and licenses start on 9/1 now not 10/1. Last years tags are no good after 9/1.

  7. I said two years ago that it will get there. The whole muzzleloader thing was for two reasons. First to see about the amount of interest there was and second to appease those in archery who do not want the modern crossbow in archery seasons which will be next. Baby steps is how the Dec works

  8. My oldest grandson is now interested in taking the hunter education course. I would prefer we do it the old fashion way,and go to a local gun club. But he has a friend that took the course on line,and wants to go that route. So my question is, can he take an online course in nys,and is it something anyone is familiar with as far as knowing a young person that has done it.

     

     

    Even if you take an online course, you still need to attend classes.  You do not get certified until you do.  All that is done in the online course is book work.   the rest still needs to be demonstrated.  Check the dec website, they list both home study and regular classes all the time.
