^^ this is very true^^ i have seen such recon proving this as well. these big buck do not get that big by total coincidence. they are smart animals

after reading some of those comments thats what i figured... im with you guys. i always pass on younger deer but i am not really for the whole AR thing. If the DEC implemented that structure state wide i would have some things to say but i would go about the deer woods the same. I pass on them anyway and if im pressed to fill the freezer i have no problem taking a doe what so ever. infact i will take a doe every chance i can to get that meet in the freezer and also do my part in doe management. I dont worry tomuch about not having meet in the freezer. I have been pretty lucky taking a deer or 2 each year. Last year i passed on atleast 10 smaller bucks and plenty of does and i was able to harvest a nice 7point and 8 point and also a huge doe. For the guys who do not have the chance to be choosy and wish to take whatever they see, well to each is own. however i do not feel for the guys who take advantage of that instance. Case in point guys who shoot anything and reuse tags or do not tag deer altogether, so im sure there are cases where not being choosy is just fine and im sure there are those who take some serious advantage of that...

i think ARs for now should be voluntary... It should not be mandatory. thats just my OPINION. The funny part of the topic is i guarantee you there is a fairly large number of guys here that already practice ARs even those against it, however its the options really. Having the option of taking a smaller buck i think is what most have the problem with. I think we would all like to think we have some options in the woods and that AR is not just another rules to abide by as it takes an option away from you. like i said, from what i have been reading on this site from the guys here it really sounds like a good 85% of the individuals here pass on smaller deer ANYWAY. so what is the difference if you have AR implemented or not? Aside from having the option of taking a smaller deer. Im not for ARs really but i pass on smaller deer all day, go figure lol so i want to know why the guys who opt for passing on smaller deer anyways are not up for AR? im just curious..

that is good news

thats a weird rule... i dont get what difference a lighted knock would do?

not to mention these posts are from months ago... i think anyone in there right mind would rather pay 1200 to go hunt a nice operation and have a far better chance at a shooter deer then to deal with BS... let it go...

look man ENOUGh with the Pheasant Run crap... its clear you are getting some kick back or some sort of accommodation from Bob by ranting and raving about the club. Save it, no one wants to hear it any more. this topic is beat to death among other things especially mentionings about the club...

i would think it would be fair chase only...

lol oh no

^^ i was going to sugest the same... clean those over hanging branches

nice deer! very nice great recon BTW!

try the bushnell trophy cams, they are great... any shots of some nice bucks showing up on cam over by you greg?

i might have to check this out for the Iphone

indoor 3d range, lets do it!

that deer also has over a month to keep growing also...

lol only in the ghetto

yeah hes gunna be a nice deer john!

thats awesome eddie lol a list that seems pretty true

i agree, id say this is a topic where we agree to disagree! so many mixed opinions on this and it will go 100 pages before this topic dies out again... lol

that thing is a beast... holy hell

someone had it right, give the "hunter" the surveys to fill out upon receiving your hunting licence. i think that is the way to do it

thats basically what i was getting at

wow thats great! congrats Eddie
