    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.

    Pheasant release date?

    I don't think they reduced any numbers, same as last year. I think you just had bad timing, they had the youth hunt and then opening day all on one stock. I bet it gets restocked for this three day weekend coming up. I found a few out of the way spots at both spots last year and sure enough that's where I found birds yesterday. Personally I will be at preserves during gun season as it is the best way to get my dogs on birds and I don't gun hunt a whole lot.

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

    Where did you go? I hit up Daketown and Elderidge lane yesterday with my dog and we found a few but that was after the woods calmed down from the onslaught of early morning. Lots of guys were at Daketown and it stunk there but we did find two there and a couple dead ones that fell victims to owls. Only saw a few guys at elderidge lane and they were done by 1230 when I left. I think they only put a 150-200 per stock and in theory they will restock mid to late week but we don't get as many as other parts of the state that have better grounds.

    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.

    In 2012, in a historic movement, Killer Whales wins the right to vote. Shamu becomes the largest president in the history of the United States and declares war on Elephant Seals. Elephant Seals march up and down San Francisco in protest. Riots break out throughout the Pacific Coast.

    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...

    This guy should not be handling a pistol . . .

    'Liberal media slant'??? Did you read the article? There's no slant whatsoever. The article simply reports what happened. Why does that seem to offend you guys?

    Read between the lines. It's a self injury story. Do you honestly think that this story would have made national headlines had the injury occurred with any instrument other than firearm?

    Eh, reading the Pine Bush regulation by the letter implies that air rifle is not permissable, as it specifically states by bow or non-toxic shotgun.

    Edit: Actually, the above is not true. Buried in the fine print is that .177 pellet guns are allowed...

    I do not remember the trail head numbers, but I always see greys in the area south of the Welcome Center on State Highway 155.

    Anyone seen any greys out in the woods in Saratoga County? Im looking at Middle Grove and Daketown as new spots. Albany Pine Bush, Ushers Road and Parcell 45 (next to Wilton Mall) all seem to be Reds at this point. I may try Wilton Wildlife Preserve and Capital District MWA in the next few weeks also.

    I was talking to an old timer in the woods the other day and he told me to hang a bird feeder out there if I really wanted to fill my limit. While the idea seemed over the top to me, it appears via the DEC website that offering the weary late season squirrels some black oil sunflower or the like in a handful on log isnt illegal per their exclusion on the list.

    I hunt Daketown for pheasant, I have never seen a grey there but a few reds.

    I see greys in the Albany Pine Bush all the time, but the non-toxic shot requirement is killer..any suggestions?
