In 1979 when I was just barely into my 20's I got blasted by the older guys I worked with for saying I thought NY should legalize gambling. As we watched factory after factory move out turning upstate into a rust belt, my thought was we should legalize gambling and build a casino on the shores of Oneida Lake. Using the Erie Canal system would literally connect the casino to the world as traffic in by boat through the Great Lakes and Hudson River. Either Syracuse or Oneida airports could bring people in by air. Rather than recycle the same money from store to store here locally we would bring in money from outside. Bad idea right? Fast forward a bunch of years and look at "Turning Stone", and where it is built. I guess somebody was listening or had the same thinking I did. But, it wasn't our leaders.
In the late 1980's when I was working in a solder factory that supplied the emerging computer boom, I was vocal about how we should focus on luring silicon chip manufacturers to the area. Here again all I hear was the long list of reasons why it was a dumb idea, and would not work. Now 25 years later it is all the rage.
Gambling aside, the message here is, the reason NY is in the sad shape it is in is the lack of vision from it's leaders and people. As always we are a quarter of a century behind the times! I voted yeas to legalized gambling in 1979, before anyone else was even thinking about it!
yup, I don't see too many businesses breaking down the door to set up shop in NY these days, better take what we can get..............

The Democrat and Chronicle had a very interesting article about how little of an economic impact the Seneca casinos have had.
I've never been to a NY casino, always go to CT.........I think the majority of New Yorkers who are looking for a true casino experience either go to NJ, CT or Vegas.........the way casino's are currently set up in NY are lousy and second rate.

yeah, I still don't understand why we can't pet those dogs either............

I've always heard there is a direct connection between tick population and rodent population, I did a quick search and found this, has anyone else heard of this, and does it seem to hold any truth?................................................. "The probability of more people and their ‘litmus’ dogs becoming infected increases with the more there are of tick infested rodent species that harbor this, and other diseases in the environment that these people inhabit or visit. In one field study it was reported that “the strongest predictors of a current year's risk of Lyme disease were the prior year's abundance of mice and chipmunks and abundance of acorns 2 y previously. In no case did inclusion of deer or climate variables improve the predictive power of models based on rodents, acorns, or both”

Personally, when I harvest a deer, I get it back to camp, hang it and then fill the tag. This is on private property pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
Is that illegal/wrong?
I'll give the guy benefit of the doubt and say we can't see it

it needs to be filled out immediately upon taking the deer..........

This is the first I've seen this buck or heard about it... I usually give somebody the benefit of the doubt the first couple days... but like I've said before... these kinds of bucks never fly under the radar and the lack of a tag while in the truck is suspect as well... we'll have to see. A scorer for the NYSBBC would probably have been on it by now and I see everything that is scored nearly immediately.
like I said, this was photo was posted by someone other than the shooter, if in fact it was shot.........I haven't seen any other publicity about it where someone is claiming it is a legit wild deer kill....who knows, maybe it will never be scored and we'll never hear another thing about it.
-
in defense of the guy who shot it, it doesn't seem as if he is the one who posted it anywhere other than his facebook page..........and I haven't seen it posted anywhere else as a wild deer kill,as of now it is just a picture that someone else decided to post.
-
it does look like a tag attached to the side of the rack that's lying on the tailgate........right against the deer's head, and it appears to be a NY tag.

Isn't turkey closed.. i thought it was oct 1- oct 31
depends on where you're hunting...............my zone shuts the day before regular deer season, Nov. 15th this year
-
so, the key to getting bigger bucks, is to get a decent camera and learn how to take good pictures?

yes & yes, provided I know where my arrow is headed if I should miss...........

any guess on his age?

The fact that people were trespassing and hunting on my land during my absence, would piss me off more than the stolen camera........

DINSDALE I BOOK OVER 200 HUNTS A YEAR ONCE IN AWHILE YOU FIND A PAIN IN THE ASS WILL IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER IF I GET OVER 150 CLIENTS TO WRITE ABOUT HOW GREAT MY HUNTS WERE OR GIVE REFERNCES , WHAT A JOKE
The only thing worse than having an unhappy client badmouthing your business, is for you, as a "business man", to respond with a poorly written, childish response like the one above.....makes you look foolish, good job.

I don't see the point in giving extra money to a booking agent / consultant, to find and book a hunt for you............all the info you need is readily available on the internet and you can have a look at and speak to the Outfitter's directly.
-
that's amazing....think how much of this crap must go on..........just look at the small amount of people who frequent this site, and how many have been ripped off.......unreal.
-
did you use any scents or calls along with it, or just the decoy?
-
Why not just refund it and call it a day.

I would think that just refunding the money would be a better idea than having any type of bad publicity spread about your business, whether or not it's true...........if just 5 people a year decide not to use you because of the negative reports, you're gonna be out a little more than the 2g's.

I'm guessing this guy is a booking agent and not an outfitter?
-
I bought a Venture last year, very accurate and I like the detachable magazine.
-
you used a guy from New York to book a hunt in Colorado?
-
Oh yeah!
But I'll be back here n there to hunt LI
since you're leaving, it's only right that you pass on your best spots to a deserving member of this site...............

The game syllabus has all of the ENCON Officers names and number...Those are the ones you should call directly for that kind of stuff, they are in the field not behind a desk hating their jobs.
you're 100% correct.
URGENT!!!!!! I NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE. BUCK Stuck with ARROW!

Question: How far from a building do I have to be to discharge my firearm?
Answer: You cannot discharge a firearm or bow within 500 feet of any school, playground, occupied factory or church. You cannot discharge a firearm or bow within 500 feet of a dwelling, farm building, or structure unless you own it, lease it, are an immediate member of the family, an employee, or have the owner's consent. This does not apply to the discharge of a shotgun over water when hunting migratory game birds and no dwelling, public structure, livestock, or person is in the line of fire.
