high deer population......

after having my dogs for 12+ years, I'm convinced there is nothing they can't eat.....

I think permethrin in it's liquid form is extremely toxic to Cats......not that most care, but it is.

just screwed on my first Rage Broadheads ever for tonight's hunt......man, they do seem flimsy.

you forgot to add that he shouldn't actually sing "I'm a Little Tea Pot" out loud while hunting.....it looks odd and scares the deer.

the problem with trying to get a solid answer on a topic, from a LEO, that can have 20 different scenarios, is that the caller poses the question the way he wants and expects to get a concrete answer that can be appelid across the board......I know one who tells people "If you're calling to get an answer for a "what if" situation and then stick my name on it, you're not going to get it, call me when you have an actual situation on hand and I will make a decision and back it up with my name."......

that may very well the statement of the year.......I like it.

you're last few responses made no sense, had me baffled as well..............but anyway, this made me think of another scenario, that has probably been played over and over a thousand times.........Hunter #1 shoots and wounds a deer, he tracks it with hunter #2, who is in the same hunting group as #1, and #2 is the one who gets the killing shot into it, he turns the deer HE killed over to hunter #1.....good or no good?? is it any different than finding a dead deer and tagging it??

problem is, as the saying goes "you can't fix stupid".........give a certain person a hammer and he'll crush his thumb, give him a screwdriver and he'll stab it through his palm, give him a saw and he'll cut his finger off.....well, you get the point.

how true....

wonder what happens when they report these out of season kills?? and some people blame this on trickery used by DEC, really??

old age...

I used to go into panic mode whenever I had a deer coming into range and knew I was going to get a shot...........I would always think I better take the first shot before it gets away, and would be preoccupied with missing it. I've since been able to control that and instead of panicking about missing and not getting the deer, I now am more confident and KNOW that I am going to make a perfect shot instead of the other mode of thinking.......helps a lot, but of course I still miss occasionally........slow down, go through your mental checklist and be confident.

I don't get the confusion over the Crossbow start date....it was never given a specific numerical start, just the last two weeks of the Archery season. What's next, guys heading out on Nov. 15th for the regular season start because that's what it was last year?????????

sometimes one just needs to step back and say "this isn't working".......take a break and figure out what the problem is, I've done it myself in the past, frustration will usually only lead to more misses and lost deer.

I think the biggest fear about crossbows is the image of hunters invading the woods and ruining the "integrity" of Bow season.........I just picked one up and intend to "bowhunt" with it the same as I do with my compound.

so nothing should really be changing as far as that goes.........feel better and don't rush the recovery.

I'm going out on a limb and guess they could grant permission on a case by case basis, but to just put out a blanket "yeah, you can tag any deer you want" probably isn't the everyday answer.......but I could be wrong.

I used one of those for years before I lost it....I set it so the bow would be between my knees, pretty stable and allowed for a knocked arrow.

yeah, but the cop's the one who's gonna be writing the ticket or applying the handcuff's...not sure I would write them totally off...you'll get one who will try to mediate and solve the problem without any further action, and the next will just write the ticket or make the arrest...either way is 100% right.

he's probably annoyed too...how far are you from his stand??

ha ha ha...if you actually read my posts, they never ripped anyone about bending or breaking laws, pretty sure I even made a point to say the Sunset issue was not even my concern....my comments focused on poor choices of words and the layed back attitude that was taken towards shooting a deer......go back and find where I got on anyone and accused them of breaking a law, if you find it, let me know....

yup....I've had mine for at least 20 years and never used the sitting option to climb....nice stand once it's setup.

mine got his 4R in the mail as well.

two separate situations...
