Lots of deer in 4J. You have to learn to play both the deer and the other people using the area.

If you climb trees, wear a safety harness... http://wnyt.com/article/stories/s2823748.shtml

Saw a couple deer in 4J on opening day. Saw two black bears in 4C yesterday 10/13...first time for both me and dad to see black bear in the woods...we've been hunting in that spot for deer for a couple years now and never saw any indication that there was any bears there. Also know that a deer was killed in 4C this morning 10/14, saw the gut pile as we were walking in this afternoon. Saw nothing all day then kicked up two right at the car, after sunset.

I bought a .270 Ruger American this summer. Here's my grouping at 100 yards (third time shooting the gun): Hit the paper all 4 times at 250 yards:

That makes sense, I didn't realize the youth weekend was this past weekend (29-30), I thought it was the weekend before.

We were at Daketown and didn't see a damn thing. Usually we are tripping over birds at that place, we have hunted there opening weekend and later into the season and always find birds. Do you know if they reduced the number of birds they stock? We were working with a dog today and still were not able to kick anything up.

Went to a spot today that was supposed to be a pheasant release site. Second day of the season, didn't kick up a single bird and no sign that much of anything had been shot there yesterday. Anybody know if the DEC released the birds for the opener or are they waiting until this weekend?

Afternoon sit in 4j...nothing yet.

Heading to 5J for the NZ opener after class on Thursday, then hunting either 4J or 4C for SZ opener Monday!

Gonna bump this as we come up on another season so others can see it and contribute...

Aw hell yes. Going out the afternoon of the 1st after my class...might even sneak up to the NZ weekend of 29-30 to try and fill last year tags... I shoot year round so my bow is always ready to go.

I would have liked to see the two weeks added on to the END of bow season rather than the beginning....hunting deer when it is still 70+ degrees out is not fun!

Dad and I went to that too. We were pretty disappointed.

25 minutes for police to arrive after hanging up 5 times on the boy? Wow.

This was the very first thought that came to my mind. If killer whales are protected by the Constitution, then they have the right to vote...
