    and unless I'm mistaken, I believe they are born while the mother is hibernating, and then stay with her and go back into the den with her for a second time, that's why bear only produce offspring every other year....they mature much slower and require more care to make it through their first year.

    that's probably the best solution.........sometimes after I shoot the Doe and I want to get it taken care of right away, I tell the fawn "don't go anywhere, I'll be right back"........they usually listen.

    I'm just worried that they'll never get over seeing their mother getting killed.......but, on the other hand, no parent should outlive their child. I say we shoot neither......

    I have one rifle that shoots very well the first 3 shots or so.....after that it starts to "walk" off the paper.........I'm fairly confident this is due to the thin barrel heating up, there is a possibility that any rifle having these accuracy issues is do to the shooter putting too many rounds through without letting it cool down....just a thought.

    yeah, if you look at the crime rates in NYS by population, NYC is certainly not the worst........and there is no doubt that crime rates are directly linked to unemployment, the economy and a few other factors.

    I don't really have a problem with any animal or bird as long as it stays out of my home and doesn't get to the point of being a destructive, disease spreading, overpopulated nuisance......

    does Fort Drum allow any hunting at all?
  11. jjb4900
    or instead of handing you an accordion of tags when you first buy your license, limit that # and only give the additional out after you report or check in your deer.........but, all that extra work on the hunters and issuing agents part would go over like a lead balloon.
  12. jjb4900
    I think that roughly only 50% of successful hunters report their kill, that alone tell's you they don't take the "mandatory reporting" too seriously.........

    does shooting a pregnant doe in January with a visible fetus count?
  14. jjb4900
    I guess if it ever came to mandatory reporting regardless of success, they could always suspend a hunting license for failure to do so....probably not much different then suspending a drivers license or registration for the variety of reasons they do, there is no fine in most cases and the only time you would be fined is if caught driving with the suspended status in effect...

    I know I've gotten several certified letters over the years from neighbors seeking variances to do work on their homes that exceeded current zoning / building laws....that gave neighbors a chance to protest if they wanted. I wonder if that happens with these type of things.
  16. jjb4900
    is there any type of permit or approval required from the Town to have one installed?
  17. jjb4900
    yeah, it pretty much looks like it's a free for all as far as the butcher shops go....I couldn't find anything that requires them to do any type of record keeping. I think the legit places that have actual year round businesses probably document it somehow to avoid getting stuck with someone's illegal deer, but the others who just pop up really have no interest in that.
  18. jjb4900
    damn, I just had a bunch of these cat powered turbines installed......

    http://smallfarms.cornell.edu/2012/07/07/slaughtering-cutting-and-processing/ I think it's only regulated when it's processed in a real slaughterhouse with farm raised animals, other than that there appears to be no regulations on deer butchering as far as I could see. the above link gives you more info then you'd ever need on slaughtering and butchering...and that's pretty much just for USDA health concerns, nothing as far as documenting what's coming and going.

    http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/47738.html looks like accurate reporting falls on the hunter doing the right thing.....
  21. jjb4900
    I don't know...but the one taxidermist I use puts the tag # on the receipt for all deer brought in regardless of whether it's a mount or butcher job. I know many people butcher their own, but I bet thousands are processed by butchers, some of the bigger shops process quite a few. I have no idea if it's even regulated, the majority of the small places that pop up for the season certainly wouldn't pass a USDA inspection.

    between microwave ovens, cell phone signals, wireless internet signals, GPS signals, current power sources, etc....something is bound to get you. I bet you have way more chance of getting killed by a car tire that flies off someone else's car than a wind turbine blade flying off and hitting you.
  23. jjb4900
    DEC already pays visits to Deer Butchers, so why not have them record what comes in? I realize a lot of people butcher their own deer, and probably just as many don't......people are looking for ways to get more accurate harvest data so why not?, it's not really a matter of who butchers their own deer, it's a matter of finding ways to get a more accurate harvest #.
  24. jjb4900
    might be time to start up a business that dismantles and removes them.......probably a few bucks worth of scrap metal as well.
  25. jjb4900
    can't be any more difficult then what DMV does as far as tracking everyone's drivers license, registration and insurance status...
