Hello, The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation has issued the following press release: DEC Announces Changes to September Canada Goose Hunting Seasons Special Measures Adopted to Address Overabundant Goose Populations StatewideNew York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens today announced several significant changes to September Canada goose hunting seasons throughout the state. The season dates are similar to past years, but higher bag limits and other special measures will be allowed this year because local-nesting (a.k.a. "resident") Canada goose populations remain too high in many areas. The updated regulations are now posted on the DEC website. "When DEC established the September goose hunting season in the early 1990s, New York's resident Canada goose population was estimated to be around 130,000 birds, but today we have more than 200,000 birds," Commissioner Martens said. "New York waterfowl hunters annually take more than 50,000 Canada geese during the September season, and we hope the changes adopted this year will enable hunters to take even more to help reduce the population." DEC's management efforts are working toward a reduction in the population to eventually hit approximately 85,000 birds to alleviate the variety of problems they are causing in urban, suburban and rural areas. Season Dates and Bag LimitsThe opening and closing dates for the upcoming September Canada goose season are set for specific goose hunting areas, as follows: Lake Champlain: September 3 - September 25 Central and Eastern Long Island: September 3 - September 30 Western Long Island: closed The rest of New York State: September 1 - September 25 Each of these areas is outlined on the Canada Goose Seasons page. Western Long Island does not have a September season because federal regulations allow DEC to have a longer regular goose season later in fall and winter, when hunting opportunities are preferred by most waterfowl hunters in that area. During most of the September goose hunting seasons, hunters are allowed to take up to 15 Canada geese per day. The previous limit was eight per day; however, as several other eastern states with overabundant resident geese have done, DEC has allowed the maximum number acceptable under federal regulations. Although few hunters will take a full daily limit, the opportunity to do so may be helpful in some chronic problem areas where hunting is allowed and hunters are particularly successful. The only exception is the Lake Champlain Zone, which will continue to have a daily limit of five Canada geese per day, consistent with adjoining areas in Vermont. Possession limits for waterfowl have also increased this year to three times the daily bag limit. Special Regulations (New)In addition to the higher bag limit, three other changes will be in effect during the September season in most areas: 1) shooting hours will be extended to one-half hour after sunset instead of the usual closing at sunset; 2) hunters will be allowed to use electronic calling devices to help entice geese within shooting range (typically 50 yards or less); and 3) hunters will be allowed to use shotguns capable of holding more than three shells at a time, but no more than seven. The only time and place where these three measures are not allowed are during September 21-22 in the Northeastern Waterfowl Hunting Zone. That is the Youth Waterfowl Hunt weekend in that area, when junior hunters may be afield hunting both ducks and geese. Federal regulations do not allow the special measures for Canada geese whenever any other waterfowl hunting seasons are open. License RequirementsTo participate in the September Canada goose hunting season, hunters must: 1) have a 2012-13 (last year's) hunting license, with small game hunting privileges, as these licenses remain valid through September 30, 2013; and 2) be registered for 2013-14 in New York's Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP). HIP registrations expire on June 30 annually, so all hunters must register now to hunt during September. To register in HIP, call toll-free 1-888-427-5447 (1-888-4 ASK HIP) or visit the New York's Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program website. Hunters age 16 years or older must also have a new (2013-14) federal duck stamp to hunt during the September goose season. Federal duck stamps cost $15 and are available at most post offices and some sporting goods stores. They are also available by calling toll-free 1-800-852-4897 or you can visit the Duck Stamp website. Stamps must be signed across the face by the hunter before they become valid, but they do not have to be attached to the hunting license. Hunting SafetyCommissioner Martens reminded hunters to follow simple safety guidelines and use good judgment when choosing a time and place to hunt. Being considerate of other people enjoying the outdoors or who live nearby can help avoid potential conflicts and ensure a safe and enjoyable season. As coastal areas become more populated, new landowners unfamiliar with the safety, ethics and traditions of waterfowl hunting sometimes respond by seeking to limit hunter access to popular waterfowl hunting areas. Hunters should be considerate and try to minimize disturbance of local residents whenever possible. For More InformationNew York's 2013-2014 Waterfowl Hunting Seasons and Regulations brochure, with all the waterfowl season dates and bag limits, will be available on the DEC website in late August, and a limited supply of paper copies will be distributed in September to all license-issuing agents and DEC regional offices.

I normally hang mine a month before season, Its alot easier if you know the patterns they use after the first frost, Funnels are great places if you can find one between bedding and the food source the are choosing to eat, But remember when it comes to the rut, key in on the does and sit back your about to have a good time in the woods, I have stands that are hung on the routes the deer choose to travel to food and others i wont sit in until the second week of november, The stands set in cruising corridors are harder to find but when you do find them they are almost always on the downwind side of the bedding areas, so depending where the bedding areas are and the prevailing wind directions you might be able to hang a few different stands for the wind conditions, Night stands are different from morning stands, morning stands can be a little closer to bedding areas, night stands i prefer to be a little farther away from them, try and find different routes to your stands as well, Good luck,

Its an ethics thing, Some people say no others get them any way they can, its more sporting in the air thats for sure,

Traffic was backed up for hours, nobody is happy with being stuck for hours in places you couldnt get anywhere, so i said screw it ill sit back and watch,

Hunters are are own worst enemies, As long as we are always at each others throats we will never unite to over come things that threaten the very thing we all say we love, http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/45415.html Give this link a shot maybe you will find a good spot.

Tax maps and google maps will help you find spots, it takes some work but it can pay off,

All the big old bucks i get on cam are always at night, Always i get nice ones during the day but i think because of the amount of human activity in the area they just stay in bed all day,

Good bucks, i couldnt have let that one walk, lol

pretty much the same way i think, only thing is i wont shoot doe until i get my buck so we have a bunch that stay there lol

First decent buck on cam this year, He just joined my hit list, He should score well but i know he will look good on my wall if i can find him come season.

It depends as soon as i get some good bucks on cam i might not check them again until i walk by to get in my tree stand, Then i will change batteries and cards, But until that happens i only check them when its raining,

Sampson State park in Seneca county, its not to close but there are people that travel from Buffalo to hunt in it, There are alot of deer and its easy to navigate with about 1500 acre's on seneca lake that you can hunt,

find something bigger, or be happy with him its your choice,

I cant grow a beard to save my life, Shoot my mustache has bare spots But in all reality if i could take a pill and loose all my hair id be ok with that too!

The digital camo one at walmart works great lots of pockets and plenty of room for everything you need to bring into the field, I bought 3 of them, One for gun,one for bow and one for waterfowl, everything is easily organized and when hung from a hook on the side of the tree easily accessible as well, They are light weight and very durable.

Get the cart, You will have people calling you to use it lol
