WingNut

I was only up there from 9/25 - 9/26. We did a lot of scouting Friday and hunted Saturday and Sunday. I actually found more sign than I anticipated, both deer and bear. The weekend was warm with still a lot of foliage still on the trees. We camped on 101, right on Otter Brook, which is southeast of Icehouse Pond. I hunted a nice area just north west of Helldriver Pond. Lots of sign, great potential for a fall hunt (snow would be perfect). It was still just a little to dense that time of year. There was rumor (though I hadn't seen it, of a Bull Moose with a 50+" spread when we sign out Sunday afternoon. We did see one small spike, a couple of does on the roads when we were looking for firewood. There was also a lot of traffic up there, a few sites were getting set up for the hunting season, It was a lot of fun, can't wait for change to get up there again.

UNBELIEVABLE I have started asking myself why is it I still live in NY.

Yes, DEC returned an email I senttgemast week. I don't see any practically In it,especially for ducks. Possible goose..... Anyway, I was just reading the regs and wanted to ask the question.

88 views and not one comment back, thanks for all the help. The answer is yes, bows are legal.

I just camped the Moose River Plains the last week of September. The area offers good Grouse hunting as well as Deer and Bear. Be careful of weather though, any decent amount of snow could cause serious problems.

A friend of mine is missing one of his Bow/Mz tags.

I was reading the "Prohibitions" section of the Migratory regulations. It mentions crossbow and nothing larger than 10 ga, but nothing about Compounds or Long Bows. Any input?

I take it you don't bow hunt?

The last one I took! LOL!

I'm one of six total heading up for the weekend. This is my first time in that area, West Side near Limekiln Lake. Should be a good time regardless.

Anyone familiar or hunted the Moose River Plains area?

I think everyone needs to see the the subject movie. If anything it could change their opinion of what potential still exist in this world.

The Astorino adds have just started in the capital region. Doc is right on also! I can feel myself starting to panic, especially when I ask people about voting and get a blank stare back at me!

i'm actually very concerned that Cuomo does get reelected.

As described, there would be no "transfer". Both parties would be sharing the same firearm one being the owner. That is the case in NY correct? How would it be possible to teach the younger generation how to shoot. Tell me if I am missing something.

Ants! What was the proposed law? Never ever heard of anything so redonculous! What does being a Gun Owner have anything to do with shooting sporting clays, sheet or using someone else's legal firearm?

Why isn't the utility company installing it? Usually the provide the first 100ft. I'm sure you could get a pole from them.

From complex to simple this state (dare I say country) is a mess.

And got denied my Doe Permit to boot!!!

As of this very minute only Dicks Saratoga, Walmart Latham, Clifton Park can produce licenses in the Albany area. And sick of waiting for someone in the Ghetto Walmart! WTF

done

There is a small State Park called Peebles Island between Waterford and Cohoes that is over run with dear. And yes they fed regularly by walkers and picnickers.
