Ended up on public land nearby after the first guy walked around and set up 50 yards from us. Saw two deer at spot three, and a hunter heading out as we went in.

And I found the first random hunter of the day. Onto spot 2

Only took my boy an hour and 15 to get up and ready. That’s a new record! We are waiting for my bro to head out back. Woohooo

Maple, red shinny bows are faster and way more accurate.

You said hanging by the neck is wrong and you want the blood to pool up in the neck, I proved that theory incorrect and stated that it doesn’t matter. Then you said “never rinse unless gut shot” I showed that you can rinse and in the same link proved that bleeding one out is not going to happen on a dead gutted deer. You do it your way because that’s how you were taught, I could care less honestly. Any ones option on right and wrong is just that, an opinion. Unless some one is mishandling the carcas, who cares. I need to kill one before I have to worry about it. Haha

Hence this part they wrote “ leaving the scrotum for sex identification”

It’s one of my favorite days to go, my son, brother and I will be out.

We are talking about hanging dressed deer. Of course blood pools before you remove entrails.

Here you go Belo and honestly it doesn't matter. https://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/cast-iron-chef/side-whats-best-way-hang-deer

Blood doesn't drain or move through the body when the heart stops. If you rinse while hanging by the neck stuff will drip out the bung.

Or another animal will find it and eat it. I have caught rats in a 30gal water trough with a way in but no way out. That may work too.

Rat trap and PB?

Nice! I had one on cam recently and deleted it with out thinking, opps.

I don’t think so.

Could that be Marty Mcfly back from the future?

Believe it or not NY does not have a wanton waste law. I read up on it a couple years ago after a hunting celeb got busted for it in Canada and was surprised to see we don’t have a law here.

You need to re read son. 70 deer and 1 legal buck amongst them. You should see this field, the deer bed in it all day long because NO one can hunt it we hunt the woods next to it.

Except for the stats don't lie and that is not true. I have already shown that.

haha Yea that's it I'm making up stuff and you are the best hunter who would no doubt see big bucks where they don't exist. AR's are a social issue and really do not do much to improve hunting unless you like seeing 2.5 yr old 4 points.

I fully understand the point you are trying to make but unfortunately the reports do not support these claims. Many are accidental self inflicted. http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/nyhrsi2015.pdf

Here you go... The State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today that the 2016 hunting season in New York had only 13 hunting-related shooting incidents, the lowest number on record since DEC began compiling hunting-related shooting statistics in 1958. "Hunting is a proud tradition in New York State that continues to be safely enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors each year," DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said. "The trend of declining hunting accidents is proof that our Sportsman Education Program is working thanks, in large part, to the efforts of the 3,000 volunteer instructors that teach our hunter safety courses every year." Of the 13 hunting-related shooting incidents in 2016, seven incidents were self-inflicted and six incidents involved more than one person. In 2015, there were 23 incidents. In 1966, there were 166 incidents, 13 of which were fatal. Despite these low numbers, there were four fatalities in 2016 - two two-party incidents and two self-inflicted incidents. "While hunting is safer than ever, accidents can still happen," Seggos said. "It is important to remember that every hunting-related shooting incident is preventable. We urge every hunter going afield this year to wear hunter orange. It's the smart thing to do." This year's report indicated that eight of the people involved in multi-party incidents were not wearing hunter orange. With approximately 500,000 licensed hunters spending an estimated 10 to 15 million days afield each year, New York continues its trend of declining hunting-related shooting incidents, with the incident rate (incidents per 100,000 hunters) declining almost 80 percent since the 1960s. The past five-year average is down to 3.5 incidents per 100,000 hunters, compared to 19 per 100,000 in the 1960s.
