looks like a brown tag, that would have been 2011-2012 license.

nothing more than a criminal......may have been slightly interesting if he actually lived off the land by trapping, hunting and fishing, violating people by breaking into their homes and stealing their property is far from impressive.

as I was driving around this past weekend, it dawned on me that these scavengers are more likely to die from being hit by cars as they dine on roadkill then they do from the effects of lead poisoning......

Plus the other point to remember there was a Democratic primary yesterday. Even though the chances were slim Cuomo could have been knocked out of the race. Why waste time money and effort on Cuomo if he may of not even been running.
yeah, that must be it.

what's a "hit list"?

I've used Eastern Taxidermy in Farmingville a few times for deer...no complaints, oldest mount is 18 years old and still looking great.

God post, lets hear some replies and no Enstine theries.
huh? I don't think God has any place in the hunting world, and don't even get me started on that Enstine guy

My new land is adjacent to a 70 acre woodlot. I've heard from a few locals that my neighbor is a large family and that they've been hunting the whole piece(theirs and mine) for years; and that they drive/push the entire property with their extended family and shoot everything they see. I have no doubt that they know exactly where the boundaries are. I'm really nervous about this season- I dread the thought of having to get out of the treestand on opening day and have a conversation with trespassers. I'm planning to try to drop by their house and introduce myself in the coming weeks next time I'm upstate. I have the added stress of living 250 miles away and knowing that they can do whatever they want when I'm not around.
hate to say it, but if you live 250 miles away and the current neighbors do what you heard, you're not gonna stop it.......

Relocating to the wood's.I do some work for an elderly couple and they have some Racoons that are not paying rent lol they asked if I could remove them without killing them.
not supposed to live trap and relocate....DEC has a licensing program for nuisance trappers, if you're the homeowner taking care of your own problem, they will direct you as how to dispose of the critters.
-
With all the crazy law changes I am wondering if we/I need a trapping license to use them?I wont be killing any trapped in them however it is still trapping
what do you plan on doing with the animals you trap?
-
Yeah, if that really is a potential outcome of legal baiting, or food plotting, this would be the point where a hunting technique or activity could have negative effects on someone other than those practicing it. Doesn't that all kind of smack of selfishness or something? It doesn't really sound like a neighborly or friendly hunter interaction. It's one thing to want to use bait for your own hunting but when motives turn to attempts at depriving other hunters for your own gain that becomes something entirely different. I don't really want to see any of that going on.
unfortunately, deer hunting has turned into a selfish, solitary sport for many.....
-
Another aspect of the baiting question pulled from a Bowsite.com article by Dr. Dave Samuel:
Baiting is viewed as drawing deer away from those who don't use bait to those that do. He also noted that it may take advantage of neighbors with good habitat, by drawing away deer from those lands. In Michigan, there are situations where one person baits heavily on his property, drawing deer off smaller adjacent properties. This then forces those who hunt on small properties to bait. They may not want to, but they get into it so they can see deer.
Any comments?
kind of like my earlier comment about the small landowner without the means to plant a food plot resorting to baiting in an effort to combat the loss of deer due to the neighbor with food plots.......that above statement could really substitute bait with food plot and it would sound the same.
-
with no intent to start a ruckus, can someone explain why they're regulated at all?
maybe they want to try and avoid people taking excessively long shots by restricting them to only 200lbs.......anything more may tempt people to push the limits.
-
So are the ECOs lugging some kind of device around to measure draw force?
hopefully.
-
if someone was to participate in the early bear season or early deer season, would they use their 2013-14 license/tags that expires 9/30 or their 2014-15 license/tags that is valid starting 9/1?.....obviously there is a 30 day overlap between the two making them both seem valid.
-
my guess is that baiting is much like crossbows, there will be many who fight it every step of the way and condemn that method until it passes as law........then eventually they will slowly and quietly accept it, and quite possibly using it.
-
my guess is the anonymous tipster was probably someone from a gun range, another gun shop or another gun owner.......not many people who know nothing about guns have a clue about The Safe Act and would have no idea what's legal and not, come to think of it,not many gun owners know too much about it either.
-
do these guns need to be "permanently modified" to be compliant? maybe they weren't if the customer was able to remove/alter the modification.
-
I never have used one, but make sure you do your research and get one sturdy enough for a slug gun......their recoil is brutal and can be tough on cheap optics, I found this out after putting a cheap rifle scope on mine.
-
baiting is more widespread then people realize....just this morning I was on another hunting website and one of the threads was about 2014 antler growth, and sure enough, guys are more than willing to post their trailcam pictures of deer eating some type of bait that's been put out.......pretty sure these guys are hunting these areas and that's why the cameras are there.
-
Nice G2's, what do you think he'll score? is he one of the "shooters" your "hit list" or you going to give him another year to mature?
-
Really? Trail cams the all the guess work out? I know LOTS of guys that run them and dont harvest deer, and many more that run them and never harvest a buck they get pics of.
To not want to use something is one thing, but to demonize it because you choose not to use it just makes you sound kind of foolish.
how many guys don't hunt areas because their trail cameras don't show decent deer? I'm willing to bet that's why many put them out......just my opinion, no different then those who see food plots the same as baiting...if that thought makes me foolish then so be it.
-
Well said +1
Put the time and effort into learning the property that you hunt, and it's not all that difficult to harvest a deer .. Baiting is like most of today's society , that doesn't understand what a honest hunt or day of work is ..
right up there with trail cameras and the other crap that takes the guess work out of hunting.....would people not hunt if there wasn't a "booner" with nice G2's in their area? makes me want to puke when I hear that nonsense.

I have heard that from some and others disagree. I have been told as long as the xbow is decent and u use good bolts and broadheads I will be fine. Still open to brand and model suggestions on all of this, xbow, bolts, and broadheads.
so if you disagree, you must have the correct answer...good luck with your search for a good crossbow for that price.

key words are "bought" and "donated"......this guy sounds like the animal who breaks into our hunting camps when we're away.
