[First 8 Point]

Had my son with me, my first 8 pt.  Field dressed at 175 lbs.  He was hot after a Doe.  Shot it up on the Mad River Club.

[Can I night hunt on the DEP property?]

Read an article awhile back that made sense, a night time coyote hunter would contact the DEC / Local Law Enforcement agencies to let them know where / when he would be hunting should any concerned citizens call in.  He stated once he started doing that, he never had an issue.

[Warm Weather?]

Any opinions on hunting in "warm" weather?  Let's say 55 & Sunny +.  It's my opinion that days like these are better off spent at camp.  Seems like the deer just don't move unless you walk up on them.  I was 15 miles east of Sandy Creek, NY on the Mad River Club property and while out Muzzleloading and checking on tree stands, didn't see a single flag.  I know this is possible on even the best hunting condition days but a lot of the Doe on this property don't spook as you cannot hunt them.  Seems like whenever there is a real mild day, activity just stops.  I appreciate any opinions you might have.
