Pretty cool photos from Nov 2 and Feb 1. Amazing the neck size difference. Photos are about 400 yards apart. Main target for next year and hopefully can find his sheds when its time. Snow picture is 30 yards from where I have a bow stand and shot my PA buck this year just about where he's standing, I also have a stand in the top spot, major rut travel routes.

Many people were hunting this deer for a few years, his velvet photo is incredible, I've only seen it, don't have the photo.

lol. Yeah and if you believe that……. DEC did not make the season and those that continue to make these early seasons and late seasons do it for one reason only. Population Control. Giving hunters that are left the easiest times to be in the woods.
I believe 2 buck tags will always damage the hunting here more than any season length. Pa has an extended season, heck pretty much every state does that has big and good hunting.

Can he not use his PA license to purchase NY license?
He only has a mentored youth permit, which means now he has to have a class there also after 3 years participating and being 12.

We have pretty much decided to buy a Polaris rzr to use around the place and for some irrigation stuff ( maybe some fun too ). We were thinking about getting a windshield, top, and rear window. All the polaris accessories rzr are pretty pricey and I was wondering if anyone had used some after market accessories? Any other thoughts on stuff that we should put on it? Thanks
do no cheap out on the windshield. The cheap ones scuff and look like shit after a couple months. We hated polaris ranger, love the cam am.

Exactly my point. Most have got their take and Don it need to pressure the herds and take more bred females and dropped bucks. It’s just Ny’s way of thinking the herd needs reduced when in most parts of the state that’s far from the problem. This is what happens when someone sitting at a desk makes the rules. Kinda like it’s Ok to have a deer contest but not a useless vermin Coyote contest.
DEC already said this hunt has nothing to do with reducing the population.

Maybe, my kid just turned 12 so i gotta have him take the safety class and we will get out. Every though he's shot 4 deer and many small game animals in PA lol.

I save two tags just for the holiday season. It's a different type of hunt. No pressure at all, just a group of guys having a good time. Weather during the holiday hunt these past 3 seasons has been helpful. Not bitter cold, sometimes a little too warm.
this is the first time I went out, I didn't hear another shot or see another person beside my hunting partner the last day. Deer were acting like they do in bow season again completely normal.

Had to add 24 because of the holiday hunts. Wonder if they will put an end to that hunt? Seasons could be cut in some areas.
I hope they don't, it didn't really change how many deer id shoot, just made me want to save a tag for it. I actually enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Probably because of the near perfect weather.

Cold water bluegills and perch are phenomenal, a pain to clean tho. Crappies and walleyes close second.

Sat all day just to wiff on a doe at 4:30. Knicked the blind. No hair no blood followed tracks a long ways just in case.

After last evenings wet hunt I pulled my breech plug and emptied the gun. Ran a few dry patches and reloaded this am with fresh pellets, saved old ones for range. Can the sabots be reused? Or should I keep those for range too.

Decided to go to mY blind cause it’s still drizzling here. Bout 10 deer in the field on my way in. They didn’t even move. Bout 200 yards from me. Semi urban area.

Gonna hustle to the blind around 315 this evening for the last 2 hours, never shot a deer with a muzzleloader so anything is is in danger the next few days.

Yeah I've been just going to PA, or shipping it to buddies house in PA. One thing I have noticed, is the shelves are full of ammo now in NY so I'm not the only one.
