don't forget, all the dmp's for all the other areas were not given out during the initial application period, that's why they say chances are equal throughout the application period.........they will have a second period where those who were initially denied may get one mailed to them......this has happened to me three times in the past few years.
-
interesting.....
-
unfortunately, he shot this deer 5 days ago..........
-
my guess is most agency's are more than happy to have someone remove the roadkill for them, one less hassle they have to deal with..........I've taken two and will never do it again, the majority of the meat was crap and now I had to deal with disposing of the carcass.
-
I wouldn't be surprised at all, much like I wouldn't be surprised if there are deer entered in the record books that were not legally taken.
-
because a trophy room shouldn't display a roadkill?.........
-
you don't honestly believe that bowhunters are "noble" do you? I can't remember the last time I felt like royalty when I went out bowhunting.........as a matter of fact, every time I read a post that starts off with "deer down", only to read the follow up with an unrecovered deer I cringe.......and can't help but think the opposite.
-
no mistake, you obviously have the experience and others may as well.........just something for others to consider.
-
"JJB, would you go squirrle or turkey hunting in late October?" no, if I'm concentrating on deer hunting, that's all I will be in the woods to do.......
-
I've never been a big fan of guns with exposed hammers for kids just starting out, unless they have prior experience handling them. The fact that the hammer has to be let down by holding it back, pulling the trigger and easing it forward once it was fully cocked makes me a little uneasy.
-
some people will do anything to get their hands on a set of antlers, I'm sure chopping them off a roadkill is one of the milder ways of violating the law to do so.
-
there's also regulations on the possession, transportation and labeling of deer meat...........if a buddy gives you 50 pounds of venison to take home, and it's not properly labelled / tagged, you are in violation of the law.
-
it's not legal to lop the head off a roadkill deer and take it.......
-
it was easy enough to call and get permission to take it......if you don't get permission, then they can assume you jacked it and charge you for possessing the parts.
-
I have taken 2 road killed deer for their antlers, each time I called DEC from the site where I found them and they took my info, told me to take it home and an Officer would meet me at my house to give me a tag, and they did...........according to them, you need a tag if you're going to possess any part of a deer, whether it be the meat or antlers............I have an ECL manual, and it pretty much says that as well.
-
I would shoot the first one that offers me the best shot.........no regrets.
-
I actually Grouse and Turkey hunted the first few days of Archery, it was way too warm for me to want to hunt deer, and yes in the same woods I intend to bowhunt, although not the same day or even the same week I intend to do so........and I've had just as many dopey bowhunters screw up hunts as gun hunters........or is it that we're more easily annoyed when the solitude we expect during archery is shattered by someone?
-
might have been me, I bought a Ruger M77 ultralight in .308.......kicks like a mule, so he's been shooting the managed recoil ammo out of it.......I also picked up a T/C Venture for myself in .308, recoil is hardly noticeable.
-
the same reason some feel the need to try and get crossbows into archery season, I can only imagine the damage a magnum cartridge can inflict on an already fragile body...........how's that?
-
yup, people were worried about the youth hunt being a disruption this weekend.....everyone up this weekend shooting like crazy, driving their quads and making noise in general was more of a disruption than anything else...........but, I'm sure the local businesses enjoyed it, and quite honestly they deserve it after losing the business since the regular season opener was moved to Saturday.
-
If I had money to spend on hunting land, I would spend it all on one piece of land in a deer rich area and improve on that land.....unless I'm seriously mistaken, land is currently at an all time high and expecting a return on it is a pipe dream unless you have no problem sub-dividing and selling it off to make money.
-
there's no question that an alert deer can and most likely will react to you shooting a bow at them....the only question is, will it result in a fatal shot, wounding shot or miss......
-
every gun will shoot different ammo differently......not too sure I would go by the the "one shot, simple mathematics" route...3 shot groups have always been the rule.
-
just got back from the youth hunt, my son passed on a small doe opening day....no opportunities after that. I will say that the noise created by the folks up for the holiday weekend caused more of a disruption than any type of hunting combined....quads, target shooting and people having fun in general were pretty annoying....I maybe heard 2-3 shots that were definitely hunting related, and special thanks to the bowhunters who didn't disrupt our hunt.
