Lol...I was wondering how long that would take... You sly old dog you...getting in the correct spelling ..in a rather polite way...kudo's. Oh we did better than that!... PLUS...500 rebate for buying 6+ appliances so giving our son his share...we got the micro wave range hood for free...plus a whole lot of points to buy x mas gifts on Amazon....and...The original sale prices at the beginning of this sale when we researched and decided what we wanted...had more money taken off...So waiting to order until the last few days saved us even more $$$...

I invite you to read the regulation book, as I Have it states you are not allowed to " discharge " with in a specified distance from a specified type of structures. Not that your bullet can not pass with in... with the one exception.. your bullet may not pass over a road. -
Dang there will be points on the card now...Son went with him our stuff and a washer and dryer and a new stove for them too... Well that sales clerk must have been smiling ear to ear thinking how he was going to tell his boss what he sold in a half hour to one person...lol

Mr B.'s at Leows buying us a new dish washer a new over the range direct vent convection microwave, and a new freezer. we have two that, wait...knock on wood, work fine but suck energy... so we are replacing one and giving it to our son until he stops dumping $$$ into the remodel...and our daughter a new range...belated house warming ...though hers is at Sams club. Thank heavens for sales...LOL

back in... couldn't get my eyes to stop watering from cold wind and my butts cold...pants actually froze.... Look at it this way...at least your not seeing signs of deer and not getting one...my place is packed with crap, pics, rubs( just took out one of the garden pines right behind my stand)...tracks galore...and even lots of sightings...either after legal, before legal ,sky lighted, fawns or right in front of me on the neighbors. Only bow shot on a doe and Mr B goes on a mad cell calling binge...only shot on a buck and unrecovered...something that still haunts me...so much blood and confirmed lung....Anyways...your season could be worse...Want me to send ya some of my neighboring hunters to cheer ya up?...

Observation they are not listening to ^^.... He was more than likely shooting during that time that many here think is just fine light to shoot in.. also that arch and white line isn't where he was actually standing...what they said was he could have been anywhere on the red arch. which has him LEGALLY shooting in the direction of buildings.. That is LEGAL according to NYS...unless he shoots over a road or is closer than 500ft. Want to know when it's not legal, assuming well with in legal shooting light? When some one or some thing gets a bullet in them.... then all of a sudden it's no longer legal it's, reckless endangerment..ect..ect... -

True on orange ...BUT...reason all stands now have orange...I got down from my stand ..one,with a clear view of one of the Butts that shot across the farmers land well over two yards from their stand to shoot that 12 pt.just off my line. He was in brand new neon Orange...I got to the bottom of ladder and had no view of him.. down hill from me, even though he was in a ladder stand Golden rod and a honey suckle Bush blocked the view..If I could not see him..I'm sure he couldn't see me.. and a deer could have ran across the field out of the pines in front of me at anytime. It should be illegal to shoot towards houses period...it should be illegal to shoot towards blocks of Orange or now pink. It should be illegal to shoot past posted signs.. Oh and no it is not right now..it's just illegal to walk across without permission. -

Need to read all stories ..several times it mentioned it was called in at 5:24, as I read and watched. Now he heard her scream and went to her... did he call before or after finding her? ..how long did it take to get to her over that 200 yrds......That shot could have taken place in what many here have said is " good shooting light"... Let's discuss the fact he was shooting across land That was posted... Oh that's right 200 yrds so 600 ft.. So he was in the legal distance from those house.. So hey why not shoot towards them ...right?... How many times has the DEC told people " Well they are 500 ft away so in their legal right to shoot" '.... I have...neighbor has.. OK until something like this. ...then hang them right ? Another 4 months and we'll be hearing how bad the set backs are and how bad start and stop times are .Guys that don't post but read will have their needed confirmation of how THEIR better judgement is backed up with others thinking the same. Makes one wonder..is this guy a forums reader?.... -

Make it worse..then they'd take longer shots...later and earlier shots...etc...ect..ect -
Regardless...if a person has a bear come to a bird feeder,or garbage in their yard .... they can get ticketed..So I would think putting out dog,cat,deer pellets..ect. ect..into the woods would get a person a ticket...

No hunting today but I did take a midday perimeter walk to install my hunting orange fleece..found the water bottle I hung in a stand last week...checked the cams and had two different day time buck..no doe.

FIRST condolences to the family.. Now let me address this...Sherman on that date was a close of 4:55 legal NYS close...Now cue all the guys on here that think 30 mins before and 30 mins after legal sunset should be Ok for shooting ......Then consider these responses Then consider that with rifles and scopes just a slight dip in terrain could hide a person behind a deer..and low light..when a shooter s concentrating on cross hairs on a deer..how many seconds do you settle that sight in before shooting...allowing for someone to slip in behind the deer unknowing...yep thinking many don't think. -
Shock and or legs could be broken..or a spinal injury.. liver so loss of blood to a slow bleed could have it immobile....

I watched a deer get hit and flip through the air over two cars like a piece of cardboard...when I got to it , I and another driver pulled over...the Deer was as you described.. When we approached it, it popped up and ran away..the van that hit it never stopped and the deer landed far from the strike...and there was no blood nor hair.

Did you ever consider it had been stuck by a car? You call the cops and they come and put it out of it's misery..then ask for a recovery tag...

End of another day.....

Someone who'll probably shoot a deer
