So BUrt, you thought I was giving you $#!+, huh? LOL Wait until the others pile it on you here. You would have been better off telling your sins to a priest in a confessional booth. Worst you would have gotten is maybe 10 "Our Fathers" and 10 " Hail Mary's" and that would include all your other sins you probably don't want to share with us. Now you are being labeled a lawbreaker, baiter and a poacher here! LOL

My apologies for the misspelling. To get it right I'll try to remember the word "burp" next time I need to spell your name. LOL

i'm sorry, Bert. With admitted sins like that, hell will only be getting fuller when you kick the bucket!

I am nuts for not being after the biggest buck I can find?? You are full of yourself and full of $#!+. That's really the only reply I could give you here.

I wish I had a dollar for every time you've said this on this forum. It was false the first time you said it and it still is this time. Yeah, some guys go crazy over antlers, but I can assure you it's nowhere near 99%. Most people are smart enough to realize they will probably never meet up with a monster buck with the limited time they can devote to hunting. The majority of hunters are happy to get any deer at all, me being one of them. You want to believe it's 99% since big antlers are your livelihood, but I can assure you it's not.

I'm just not seeing all this rampant killing on wives, kids, etc. tags where the DEC would want or need to have all deer checked into check stations. I think this is a figment of some peoples imaginations. Hell, people are barely hunting for deer with their OWN tags so I just don't see this mass killing on other peoples tags. Not like the state will go thru the expense and logistics of setting up check stations for the few clowns out there who may be taking a deer or two with someone else's tag.

Why would you consider that punishment? I actually like Christmas music. I can give Bing Crosby a run for his money with my version of "White Christmas"!

Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine. Lots of big woods, not too many deer. Not to say you couldn't kill one there, but it won't be easy compared to a number of regions in NYS and elsewhere.

Exactly how would mailing tags in be better than the phone in reporting we have today? Not everyone would mail in tags just like many don't report by phone these days. It would boil down to the same $#!+. And no way is NYS going to start check in stations. Not feasible in so many ways. I highly doubt there are too many gas stations or small markets in NYS who want bloody deer carcasses rolling in from October- December freaking out a good many of their customers. Simply won't happen! The majority of states out there DON'T have check in stations so I see NO good reason for NYS to start them either.

Pygmy will subscribe to it only if there is a centerfold picture.

Hi Grow, if you need a hand with those mutts just give us a holler!! The Cartwright boys

Listen to what Culver tells you. I've seen his cabin. It's rustic and an engineering marvel all wrapped in one!!

Of course they obviously allow it, but I still think the DEC is talking from two sides of their mouth with so many statements they make. Them considering food plots a "bona fide agricultural practice" is funny in itself. How many people eat the stuff they put out in their food plots for deer? LOL Maybe they could make a nice salad out of it for dinner.

Yes, baiting is illegal, but I was talking about feeding wildlife in general. Read this and tell me where they say that food plots are OK while other type of feeding isn't ? I didn't read about any distinctions here. Whatever is said about feeding animals in this DEC statement can surely be applied to food plots also. http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/74763.html

Yeah, I've read DEC statement telling people not to feed wildlife, yet food plots are allowed? So which is it? Leave it up to the DEC to give you two different answers to one question.

Congratulations for being one of the very few who plant food for deer on land they don't hunt on. I will disagree with you on the baiting part, however. You may not be baiting since you don't hunt the land, but those who do hunt on land they plant on I absolutely would consider it baiting. Again, I have nothing against food plots, but you are planting food that wouldn't be there if you didn't plant it, so how can this not be considered an easy meal for deer that they could become accustomed to? I guess there is a stigma to the word "baiting" and some of you don't want to be associated with it, but in reality it is all very much the same thing.

My opinion has always been that food plots are baiting. Now, I have absolutely nothing against food plots, but lets call it what it really is. I know people who plant food plots will argue that it's not baiting and give me the story that they do it to help the deer, but how many would plant food for the deer if they didn't hunt? The answer is few to none.

Don't want to rain on your parade, but if you were comfortable in PA, why on earth move to NYS?

Your wife is pregnant again? Don't you have 3 sons already??

I got some photo evidence for them. Took this two summers ago in PA.

OP has been spotted on Madison Avenue in the city trying to get a model to pose with him for a picture he could post here. So far NO luck. He's getting desperate to save face.

Don't forget numerous folds for concealed carry on her. A very valuable girl. She can carry one for her, you, granny, and several cousins too,

That pic was taken last year during their vacation in the Bahamas. Flooded the fancy hotel they were staying at when she got into the pool.

Hold up, I found her!!

Maybe he's making her up? Like that college football player a few years back who was boasting about a girlfriend he never had.
