As far DEC is concerned I'm assuming your going to get fined being that you should not take a shot that would risk 2 deer with 1 shot. THats just an assumption not fact based

DOn't cut the heads all the way off when they are in the funnel, pull down on the head and slit the throat and hold the head until it stops kickin then cut it all the way off

I have a old archery VHS cassette were a guy shot a buck and the arrow went thru and into a doe and killed them both

Congrats, 270 is a great caliber as I hope to use mine in pA in 2 weeks

This might sound obvious and silly but often gets over looked. "Go to where the deer are!" I know a lot of people loooking at maps to see topography and, possible chokes points in the geography, food sources, etc... Now mind you these are valuable tools but you have to put boots to the ground and look for heavily used trails, poop, scrapes, rubs, and general sign of a lot of deer activity. Another thing thats important is just being in the woods. Can't kill deer behind a computer.

After the first weekend the woods start to settle down a bit and deer maybe spooky but come out of hiding after opening weekend

What I find intresting that deers nerves in the spine cross over so if a buck has an injury to the rear leg it with effect antler growth on the opposite side. Example a buck with a broken left leg will have a deformed right antler.

I think we all have stories of someone doing something questionable and we shake are heads. I knew a guy who was so proud of a monster he got. I was kinda of jealous until I heard the story how he shot a nice one and was waiting in his stand for his dad when a dandy came over so he shot that one and lef the first one that was smaller. I don't know what I would have done if I heard the story at the time not years later but I consider a poached deer not a trophy.

Legal hunting hours need revising

I was just over the hill in putnam but I was on the darkside of a mt. It was light enough that I could walk around at 6:15 but not good for shootin. Another hunter walked right past me and didn't notice until I'll whistled. When The sun popped over the ridge it got real bright fast though -

I'm guessing you weren't in the the woods becuase I started getting good light around 6:30 in the woods -

First picture of you without a baseball hat on backwards -
It was kinda crunchy today but windy enough that it killed the noise. so after a few hours it felt good to strech my legs and take a slow walk the only thing I worry about is walking around other hunters!

They have been using a 260 on moose for years with out any problems

I know I'm going to get crushed for saying this but I rarely check the time. This morning I was supprised that I only heard a few shots before I could see because 2 years ago I heard about 30 and couldn't see my hand in front of me. I find deer very hard to see unless they are really close in low light and would not recommnend shooting. That being said I think don't I ever shot a deer before 8:00am. I also wait until its completely dark out to hike out and use my flashlight so I don't look like a giant orange 2 legged deer! -
Which to you do first with a mounter?

Gut it first, all the blood washes out when they tan the hide -
Agreed with WNY BuckHunter and don't feel pressured by the salesman theres no such thing as the best bow for everyone
-
I have the Martin Moab and its awesome but I was thinking about getting a Mathews or Bowtech for 3D.

I don't think age or time of year matter as much as diet. I've had two does within a week part roughly same age/size and one had a tangy taste. By the way the curse of the btn buck continues I saw another one last night

Steve I already rested my case you admittidly have no experince with a 223 therefore you don't know what your talking about when in comes to a 223. Go shoot a deer with one and if you are less then satisifed with the outcome come here and tell me so but otherwise you really don't have a leg to stand on
-
Steve apparently you don't pay attention, I use a 270.

Zhe Wiz, I think people hunt with as you put it "<insert unnecessarily overpowered caliber here> for several reasons. 1.)Thats whats everyone else is using 2.)Bigger is better 3.)Never used anything smaller, unaware how well they work 4.)One gun for everything from woodchucks to moose 5.)Over compensating, for poor shooting(get you mind out of the gutter) 6.)Parroting what others say 7.)They lack experience

I'm here in putnam, I hunt in 3G around cranberry mountain and the great swamp
