Going to be a long couple of weeks

I bounce between there and the Catskill area. Shot some nice bucks around the ag areas but poaching/road hunting is a serious issue. I've had deer shot at across my property from the road at night. Some nice bucks to be had though if you're willing to put in the work

Man! how many times have I climbed a tree to cut a branch or hang a stand without a harness ??? I got smart once I got married and had someone else to think about. I tie in for everything now. I feel for the family. Please stay safe and if not for yourselves think of your loved ones. They will be the ones to suffer most.

He manned up right away, and he was only referring to YOUR post where you used the words WHILE BOWHUNTING. if you made a mistake and want to change it to DURING BOWSEASON then you have that right here as much as everyone else explain themselves. As I said I do not condone what he did but as the previous posts states I feel the video does not prove he deserves all the name calling. Once someone is man enough to admit his mistake that should be the end of it. I will not post on this thread anymore as I feel I made my point....maybe not but I do not need to have the last word here. Please read the "sad story" thread to put things in perspective and lets wish everyone a very safe and successful season. If we dont stick together and take care of our sport who will ??

I would give up CH and let it go away. WNY proved my point all by himself. Some people just feel superior.

How is admitting several times what he did and that he was wrong back pedaling ? You have a guy here that admits to carrying a firearm while bowhunting, which is illegal, calling names like he is exempt from hunting legally, He asks to read the game laws and I did, I copied it, here it is " While bowhunting during a bow season, you may not possess a firearm of any description. " Why isnt everyone calling HIM out on it ? Instead you are sticking up for him ! Please someone answer that without calling names!! People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw rocks!

Sorry, but I dont agree that throwing some corn in front of a doe is the same as poaching, and I am not accusing anyone here of baiting or doing anything illegal. All i said was to think someone here hasnt used feed at one point is naive. Posting it is a different story but everyone screws up. Poaching is a serious offense and to put catskill hunter in that category is not fair. He may be one, I dont know but based on that video I am not willing to say he is. Telling him he screwed up by putting corn out and it is not legal is fine but putting him in a poaching category is wrong. Everyone made their point and now it's a pissing match and nothing positive.

Not trying to start a pissing match, seems my opinion on here doesnt count. Anyone realistic here would know that everyones comments on here about their hunting ethics are pretty much here say without knowing the poster personally. Our focus should be on poachers, anti hunters and our Gov. wanting our guns not someone that threw out a cup of corn. I am not condoning anything illegal and " calling out " someone on it as you say is fine but you guys are just getting nasty with it, you said your point now move on

unbelievable ! lmao

I just joined this forum in hopes that I can share my season. This is the first thread that jumped out at me. Being new I was going to keep my mouth shut but I seem to have an issue with doing that. The negative comments on here are very disturbing to say the least. Everyone seems to like to jump on the " illegal " band wagon right away. While I can see both point of views here, to think everyone in this forum has never put out a bio rock or mineral site or some acorn rage etc is pretty naive. We all woke up one morning learning some of our guns are now illegal ! did we all jump on that bandwagon ? Some of us plant food plots ( myself included ) while that is legal in NY to do, Guess what ! it's baiting deer. Some of you admitted to putting scrape drippers out, Guess what ! you are baiting deer. I put all my money into my food plots which I hunt right over so I dont spread corn but really I am baiting deer to come in to me even though it's legal. I dont agree with catskill hunter about spreading corn but some of the comments here ,,,,really? Most of my hunting is in the Richfield Spring area but I do hunt the Catskills and I can show you 1/2 a dozen tree stands with corn feeders next to them which were put out by the "locals" I can show you where they park their quads to get to their stands which is very illegal in the catskills. I have climbed a mountain for an hr to hunt only to have a NY registered quad pass me !! talk about frustrating. I hear gun shots from dark until morning when I am there. I am not saying anyone here does it but some do. Someone here says " this is my kind of forum " that makes me not want to post on this forum now. A simple " nice video, thanks for posting" would have been enough. So instead of seeing an opportunity to show you cock feathers and pound your chest lets try to stay positive and REALISTIC. Just sayin
