  1. If you look at this its stated that "Last year's license is required when hunting prior to October 1" in the top left corner of the image.

    Then if you look at 2015 seasons it doesn't say  "Last year's license is required when hunting prior to October 1" http://www.dec.ny.gov/images/wildlife_images/deer2015.jpg

    Just because it wasn't announced that it isn't legal to use last years license you should assume that it isn't legal.

     

    isn't the one link from last year and the other current? I would think it would be self explanatory being that the new regs state the license year runs from September 1 through August 31.....

  2. if there's no policy against is and they don't care, what's the problem? and one would have to think that an employee would have to buy a sh*tload of discounted merchandise to turn it into a profit that would harm a company or even be worthwhile for the employee.........whether or not it's ethical is one thing, whether it's even worth the time and effort is another.

  3. How about a 2 week January doe only season using any weapon? Who does that hurt?

    and it would actually eliminate more than one deer, which I have absolutely no problem with because we do it on Long Island.................but, put your seatbelt on because the comments about killing future bucks should start coming pretty fast.

  4. no matter what weapon I carry, I very rarely pass up an opportunity on any deer that I can legally tag......I'll pass fawns in most situations, and this year was the first time that I can ever remember, in recent times, passing up an adult doe while I had a dmp in my pocket....

  5. It's pretty shitty a few gun hunters think their fellow hunters deserve what we got. Honestly that hurts even more than the reg itself.

    amazing isn't it?, and I'm not siding with gun or bow hunters, as I am equally both. it started out with anger at the DEC and then the blame game started....the old divide and conquer.

  6. One thing that this thread has really brought to light is just how much animosity there really is from gun hunters toward bow hunters. I always suspected that it was a much bigger problem than is generally acknowledged, but the comments on this thread plus a lot of other sources, is showing an increasing divide in the hunting community based on the use of a bow.

    yup, it was like tossing a piece of meat to a pack of hungry dogs and watching them attack each other.

  7. we missed this one, but got hit with the antler restrictions a few years ago........we make do with the cards we were dealt, I'm certainly not gonna sell the property/house and go where the grass is greener, we get enough dmp's to keep things moving along and soon enough the AR's are gonna pay off BIG!!! ahh, who am I kidding, I doubt it.....But, it's just deer hunting, not like I lost my job and need to go searching for a new one....

  8. What?

    back in the day, you got one tag that was good for either sex during archery and buck only during the regular season, if you filled it during archery you were done (that changed later on)..........doe tags in most areas had to have 3-5 guys applying for one tag.....usually guys would take turns carrying it until it was filled. I think the multi tag system we have now was began in the early to mid 90's (maybe?) if not later.

  9. Mayor DiBlasio is looking to implement a new program that is said to help mentally ill homless and K2 addicts. Part of this program is merging NYPD with mental health workers. Am I stretching thoughts here... I'm thinking this would give NYPD access to records of people who are mentally ill as well as those regular people that just se a physiologist for whatever reason. Wouldn't this give them a way to take away guns from people who they may now deem mentally ill being that NYPD and mental health would be together as a unit? Or am I thinking too much?

    nah, actually that's not too far of a stretch..........but on the other hand, the real problem is not guns, it's the unchecked mentally ill, so you gotta control one of em............the question is, which one?

  10. #1- I hunt with all weapons except crossbow, start in archery and continue through the seasons as needed.

    #2- No preference as to when or what I shoot a doe with.

    #2- I don't care of the sex or age of the deer (although won't shoot fawns in most cases).

  11. Excluding the mocking part, the guy who only shoots 140's shouldn't be made to feel bad either. It goes both ways. The attack on the horn hunter on this site is disappointing. Like some how the meat hunter is the only real way to do it.

     

    seriously, how could you make a guy, who holds out for and only kills big bucks, feel bad? I've never seen it....what are you gonna say to him "maybe one day when you learn how to hunt you can start killing yearlings"? on the other hand I've seen other hunters make derogatory remarks to total strangers about the small deer they've killed.......I have nothing but respect for the real trophy hunter, more power to him, But too often that's the same guy who'll look down his nose at the guy with the 1.5 year old buck because he killed the next potential trophy.........if you can show me otherwise, please do.

  12. we have a place just outside Margaretville and Arkville..........more than enough State and DEP land where if it was me, I'd spend the majority of the cash on the house with a smaller tract of land. Hunting is ok, and from what I've seen in your other posts, probably on par with what you've been seeing with some areas slightly better. Now, hunting aside, there is no shortage of stuff to do year round....golf course nearby, Pepacton Reservoir for fishing and boating, Trout Streams, hiking, skiing, you name it.....plenty for the non hunting family members to do as well. Oh, and the bear population is growing every year.

  13. Let me put out an open public apology right now:

     

    I apologize to all the other hunters in any non effected area for having to be forced into a decision of having to move into your area and going up against you in the DMP lottery. This as well as any possible usage of my regular buck tag in your area lowering the # of bucks and doe you have.

    Remember You may not have thought this very poorly thought out decision  by the DEC effects you, but I know different...For this I apologize, for I will not be black mailed into doing something I have been doing for years anyways . I will not participate in such a poor plan, making them think it was the proper way to go...I apologize for your future hunts.

    let me know when you come down to Long Island, I'll put you in some good spots and maybe we'll get lunch.........no real competition in the dmp lottery, pretty much unlimited tags.
