In most situations yes, but put that same guy with just a few rounds driving around slowly during hunting season up and down the side roads obviously road hunting and I guarantee he'll be ticketed........and it'll more than likely be upheld in court........kinda like the drunk who's not observed driving but found sleeping in a parking lot with the key's in the ignition, found guilty every time.
-
OK, let's remove the magazine part and say the ammo is well within your reach and would take little effort to load it into the gun, now what?
-
Here's another scenario for you guy's to debate.......a hunter (or any other person), while driving around, is stopped by an L.E.O ., he's found to have an unloaded rifle on the front seat with the loaded clip lying right next to it, all easily within his reach.....can he be ticketed for possessing a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle?

we usually hang by the neck or rack at camp, but think you're better off hanging by the back legs because heat rises and you probably don't want it trapped up inside the body cavity which is what hanging by the neck will do, and don't see the benefit of letting the blood settle into the hind quarters instead of into the head and neck area.
-
I think the early bow will have the same overall effect as the youth hunt, which is minimal. I'm sure there are some who will burn out earlier with the new opening day, but the majority of us still only have the same number of days to hunt......I'll be saving my time off till late Oct. / Early Nov..............won't even consider burning up vacation time for the early bow.

I wonder how good a safety harness if someone is severely out of shape and can't get themselves back into the stand and just get exhausted and hang there........and I am in no way suggesting this is what happened, just something for us to think about....a safety harness is only one aspect of tree stand safety and the importance of being prepared for an emergency.
-
growalot made an excellent point.......you don't want to be hanging below your stand, alot of people probably don't realize what it take's to pull yourself up and into the stand.
-
Sad news, makes you realize that a harness is not enough, you need a plan for what you're gonna do once you're hanging from it......

Let's start one thread showing all the successful kid's....I'll start with my son's 6 point taken on Saturday....

Looks like the Columbus Day Youth season is on!

Took my son out and he got a 6pt Saturday afternoon, we had a great time, I hope this youth hunt becomes a yearly event..........all the whining by those against it was for nothing, because as most have seen, it was no busier than usual in the woods and will have no impact on the remainder of the archery season.....the only good to come out of listening to all the complainer's, was it got me to cancel my membership with NYBowhunter's. -
to me, it seem's like the author is allowing reader's to draw their own opinion's.
-
yes, tracking wounded deer with a dog is illegal in NY, unless you possess a license to do so.
-
the wife comment just show's that he's operating with a diminished mental capacity, and those type's tend to have the inability to control their thought's and when all else fails, they just start lashing out.
-
Does it have to be a spike or can we post any deer that would upset you?
-
and the new system has let the population get to an all time low in some areas...no easy fix for any of it
-
I hunt state land next to fairly large parcel's of private land, and these private land tract's are not agricultural, yet deer I shoot have stomach's full of corn and I regularly see squirrel's carrying corn cob's....crazy stuff to say the least.
-
you just gotta consider the price of ammo for any of these wildcat calibers.
-
I remember when you bought your license and got one tag that was for buck only during the regular season and it could be used for either sex archery, if you were lucky enough to get one during archery season you could buy another for $5 to use for rifle...that and you also had a chance at the limited amount of doe tag's and if you still had one left over you could use it for either sex during late archery or muzzleloader......now they give out too many tags........saw a lot more deer back then before they complicated things.
-
you pretty much summed up my feelings, these rules are ruining what hunting is to a lot of us.
-
The guys who hunt just to harvest a big buck and refuse to shoot does or smaller bucks and ridicule those of us who take those does and smaller bucks, are probably the same guys who are feeding their dog's their venison at the end of each year because it's of little value to them....at least not as much as the rack on the wall.
-
This is my last year of shooting anything less than an 8pt.......next year I'm going to quit my job and become a full time hunter, that should greatly increase my chances at huge bucks.
-
.........Bingo!!
-
Love the "part time hunter" statement....what would constitute a full time hunter? gotta be someone who get's paid to do it like those guy's on TV.
-
Yup, L.I. has a very high doe to buck ratio......and the bucks that live around the agricultural areas eat quite well, as do those that live on huge estates and developements that have thousands of dollars worth of shrub's to eat , add to that plenty of areas off limits to hunting and you have the perfect recipe to grow huge bucks.
