Four Season Whitetail's

You have to remember where this is coming from? People say we should not bash others but how can one call another a "Hunter" with some of the crap that comes out of them? I believe there are hunters and then there are those that like to be in the woods and kill a deer if on happens to trip on by them.

Hard to say when "Usual" is but stress is most times involved. Poor food intake and even breeding more does during the fall breeding season will cause early drop,

Never! I will take a doe if meat needed. If he beat me that long and its late season....I will see him next year. Maybe!

Yeah I guess that's the correct way to age a deer. I really hope it's not the same buck with the little girl in the pic? You know....that 140 pounder you say you got 100 pounds of meat off of? Right' Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Again you have never shot a 31/2 year old buck since you have been on this site. Do show this monster and teeth! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cant help ya if deer eat what i put out for other animals. Yotes can be killed on my property all year and the use of a rope and repelling are two different things. Maybe not that big as you say but you have never been even able to match my smallest. Yes guys like you few that have to kill baby bucks in order to fill tags will be in a pickle when you have to learn a little more about the sport. But look on the bright side....You still have those does to smash. You will be all set.

Nope. That's my farm land that borders the Safety zone of the Park before they cross the Park road and head to the bottom. That's the nice thing if having land on each end of the state and an awesome place like the park to hunt. That hedgerow between two Alfalfa fields is nothing short of a buck funnel coming on and off the Park . The last victim from that very stand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Speak the truth regardless of who is on here. You may have long shots just as i do in my 350 acre fields but it sure does not cause me an issue of seeing what i am shooting at and how big or small that animal might be. Like he is shooting 200 yards thru the woods? Just more typical bull out of him trying to back his thoughts. Problem is that most times..Such as 200 yard shots in anything but open fields..are just that. Bull.

Dont whine because you cant do what others can. When one learns to target mature bucks taking the smaller yet still legal bucks are pretty simple really.

Or maybe some of us are just much better at the game and know how to hunt and get stands up where we dont have to worry about 200 yard shots? If one knew how to learn whitetails and scent control one would have a much easier time getting bucks close. Dont shoot the babies and the problem would pretty much solve itself. One can tell what a shooter is that way with just a quick look.

Shows how much the state is really worried about disease being spread.

If we were a 1 buck a season or a must report and mail back old tags i would not believe Ar would be needed either. 2-3 yearlings and 1 mature buck makes up many a hunters season and that is either using their tags or others. That is way to many bucks not needed in areas where doe take is needed. Of course all parts of the state wont be the same but close good hunting can be found not far from any. And again the old saying..Cant eat the antlers>. Should not matter to them if they dont kill that spike or 4 pointer?

Good luck Bill. Your body will let you know and its possible that it could be 6 months before you feel the strength. I hope the full inclusion Xbow law works in your favor if you never feel comfortable pulling a bow back again?

Yeah Ok. If you get your head out of the sand and look a the big picture you will see that huntnig today is all about the bigger the better.I am just one of most. Your still stuck back in the old days of hunting and dont worry as you can still get all the meat you will ever need. Cant eat the horns remember so might as well make the bodies bigger than those 100lbs baby bucks. If you are having a hard time seeing points in your hunting as you say then you a probably looking at a baby buck that will most likely be off limits. I find it funny how some say they have a hard time? I hunt every day of every season and i very rarely have that problem and even not seeing the head one can se that they are looking at a little very young animal?

You mean like your buck tag has to be on a buck with 3 inches or better? Your Choice? I think Not! Buck tag would be buck tag and there would be no use in late season. Buttons will be taken every year for sure but unlike a few on here, most hunters will let those 50lbs babies that give ya a few sandwiches the pass. Plus they would only be taken during bow/muzzy where there are less hunters.

I believe in todays world it is all about the inches when it comes to deer. Most hunters that are left are hunters that want the best of the best and that is what they are pushing along to their kids that become hunters. The increasing age of hunters is pushing many to the side and hanging up the weapon. The DEC can make very good if not great deer hunting in most parts of the states with some season and buck harvest changes and they can still get their needed number of does killed of with the antlerless tags in muzzy/bow along with dmap's. It can be done. Some wont be happy but in the big picture the DEC will cater to the masses. And hunters that have poor hunting can travel very little and find great hunting.

Not so sure. many keep pushing for them every year. I also see where Pa is now in talks of adding a 1 buck a season law on top of their successful Ar laws. I am sure the hunters pushing for better hunting will be showing Ny rule makers how well things are turning out just a few hours away. We will keep the push with more hunter signatures.

True That...And many will make it to 3.5 and up after getting past their first stupid baby years. Positive all the way around.

4 legged vermin may croak of lead one way or the other.

Wrong. Many smartin up quick from 1.5 to 2.5 and many will continue to live on into 4.5. Worse case is they are bigger in both rack and body from baby to 2.5 so still equals a positive.

Its a law to save young bucks so they can mature. If you have to spot test one that bad its probably 1 of 2 things.....Its not big enough to meet the law or its a risky shot to begin with. To fast or to much brush. Yup..save the babies!

If its a law you do what it takes to abide by it or you break it. If a buck gets away because you didnt have time to figure it out then some would say the law did its job.

Again! Dont really care. But yes with laws you will be told what you eat to a point and also making statements that are furthest from the truth will be exposed. I can see all these real hunters with trail cams out there checking them saying...man i hope that 100lbs spike buck came thru here today. Might happen, But not in any numbers thats for sure.
