I honestly think that before anyone tries to come up with a solution, they should hunt in every wmu and experience ot before telling those who do hunt there how they need to hunt and manage their deer herd
I agree, one of the guys with a lot of big bucks in their area should invite me up for a hunt, and in exchange they can come hunt with me and see nothing......any takers?

I'm pretty sure the pilot keeps the thermocoupler at a certain temp, if it's not reaching that temp the gas valve should not open at all.
-
Does it have a flame sensor, If it does that could be shot, you will get flame but it wont turn the gas valve all the way on,,,, or it could be dirty use a little sand paper and clean it up, The flame sensor will look like a thin round piece of metal rod thats normally bent at a 45 degree angle near the end and sits so the flame will hit it,
I think that's called the thermocoupler, had one go bad on my gas furnace a few years ago............if I remember correctly, if it's bad, it won't allow the gas valve to open at all.

Not going down that road again
way too involved, I don't blame you............much like DEC's definition of a loaded firearm reads different than the NYS Penal Laws definition of the same...........you can try to explain to people till you're blue in the face and get no where.
-
I don't know how ineffective revoking someone's license is.....I knew a gentleman who got caught with a button buck to which he had affixed a regular season buck tag (another story in itself), he was stopped at a deer check and caught......as a result, he lost all DEC licenses for either 3 or 5 years, problem was, he is a commercial fisherman, so not only could he not hunt, but he could not work..............got his commercial fishing license back after dumping a lot of money into attorney fees, pretty sure he learned a valuable lesson........
-
4W & 4R..............real quiet.
-
It was on the 'specials' menu. Not on the regular menu.
sounds like you're onto something...........I'd definitely call DEC and let them know.
-
Cause it's ILLEGAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so it was advertised as "wild caught" venison?
-
I'm sure they weren't cooking up the deer that they shot that morning.............farm raised.
-
I find it much more refreshing than the thread that is started with "deer down, pics to follow" or "stuck a good one", that is only followed up with an unrecovered a lost deer............

Back in the house, slow cooker full of piping hot pork and beans, coffee, and company of my wife, two cats and our little terrier. A welcome end to a slow but peaceful afternoon of deer hunting.
pork and beans and coffee? sounds like you're going to be alone in a few hours............

Damage Permits and DMAP tags are two different things..are they not?
-
I've personally had DEC give me a hand on a track as well....very nice guy.
-
I honestly don't think you would ever get the ok from DEC to track a deer after dark with a weapon...........and I certainly wouldn't risk doing it while carrying a weapon if it's well after dark, not worth it.
-
I think finishing one off a few minutes after hours is a whole different scenario than tracking one well after dark with a weapon...........

no different than when they use the Holiday season to warn people of the dangers of drinking and driving.............
-
The only difference is, a licensed tracking dog handler is allowed by law to dispatch a deer after hours after making the notification, regardless of if it's 5 minutes or 5 hours after legal shooting hours.....I doubt they would give that same allowance to just anyone.......if you have a deer down and it needs a follow up shot minutes after shooting hours, it's gonna be up to you whether or not you want to do it.

I have been trying to figure you out ever since you first pissed me off. You are one of those guys that just likes to try to get a rise out of people aren't you?
you have to remember, figuring out a marinade recipe may be tricky for some people.....after all, it may require reading and measuring, not everyone has those skills..........sometimes it's just easier for someone to put the meat on a stick and hold it over an open flame, much like the cavemen did.
-
Are all the marinade guys, city guys?? Just wondering
not all...........sometimes the marinading process helps break down the tough cuts for those who don't have adequate teeth for chewing meat.

huh... i was talking to the butcher about a doe i saw this doe i passed up because its ribs were showing, they said shoot it and call DEC and they will replace the tag. said "really, no questions asked?" they said "yep, we've had customers do it with injured or sick deer." maybe it depends on the situation (bad meat as bubba pointed out) as well as the DEC officer. next time i see them i will get some more info on their experiences. i wouldn't hesitate to put one down but it kind of takes the wind out of a season. thanks for the info folks.
"unfit for human consumption" would be a deer that you shoot, and for whatever reason cannot be eaten.......fresh wound on a deer that has nothing else wrong with it probably wouldn't qualify.........I've seen deer killed that had old wounds that you could actually smell and showed obvious signs of advanced infection, pretty sure that would qualify, as well as any deer that may be suffering from any type of noticeable disease.
-
CALL DEC. They will issue you a new tag since it was a mercy kill. My butcher told me that this year. Good job taking them out, better than a long lingering demise. Some people are indeed hacks. I understand stuff happens, but twice on the same land??? Someone needs some practice, patience, or a seeing eye dog.
it sucks having to burn a tag up on someone else's screwup, but DEC doesn't issue tags for "mercy" killed deer............a few years back, on opening day, I was coming out of the woods and thought I snuck up on a bedded buck, one well placed neck shot did him in...........when I walked up to him I found his front legs had been just about blown off at the brisket and another shot in his rear end........really took away from the harvest and my season was over, but nothing I could do at that point.
-
What they should do is make it part of the punishment when some yahoo Shoots another hunter...or even himself...go to a certain number of safety courses and talk about what happens when you don't follow simple basic safety protocol
I had the same exact thought, they do it all the time with drunk drivers as part of their punishment...........and it can be done very easily if they film it and play it as part of the course.
-
We do not teach thr laws or marksmanship. It is called the.hunters safety class for a reason. Not the hunters legal or marksman class. You are asking a lot from volunteer instructors when a class is minimal 10 hours now.

yup, it's pretty bad when most guys don't even bother to look at the regulation guide every year..........I wonder how many improperly tagged deer slip through the cracks every year.........hunter safety really never changes, but the regulations can change on a yearly basis, so it's everyone's own responsibility to keep up to date.
-
Knowing how to tag is deer is fine detail ? That is pretty basic stuff.
it's not in the course.......they'd have to devote a full day just to deer hunting and since deer hunting regulations vary across the state, it would be impossible.

hopefully it warms up and it melts..........an early snow that sticks around is not good.
