[Favorite Hang On Stands]

Swivellimb - Great if you prefer sitting down shots

[Unknown black spots]

The deer was hung for about 36 hours.

[Unknown black spots]

A friend of mine shot a yearling doe on Long Island.  When butchering he noticed these black spots on the fat of the deer.  Does anyone have a clue what this is?  He is going to bring it to Ridge in the next couple of days so they can determine what it is, but I thought maybe someone here had a clue what it is.

 

[Tag exchange]

Yea, DEC actually e-mailed me back and said it's for all doe taken in Suffolk no matter the property

[Tag exchange]

Is anyone familiar with the tag exchange for Long Island after taking a deer? Is the exchange only for public land or is it for all deer taken on LI?

[Show your best group of the day]

Shot these this morning

[Fox Studios]

I've gotten a bear rug, deer head, and hoof gun rack. They did a great job on all 3.

[Hunting Shows Unrealistic?]

I also enjoy buck commander but I enjoy chipper's new show 'Major League Bowhunter'. It shows how and why they are hunting certain spots. There are also episodes where they don't kill anything. It can be a little slow paced but very informative.

[DMP's selection available today - What did you get!?]

[Apparently there are bears all over the freaking place]

[Apparently there are bears all over the freaking place]

I'm in 4W and I have more bears than deer on my cameras. I have 2 that look like they're pushing 350+ pounds

[North-American Hunting Club]

I received the same e-mail and it showed up in my junk folder. If you were to join don't use the link that they sent you. Go to the actual NAHC website.

[New York Crossbow Hunters..]

It already is

Touche helps if I read

[New York Crossbow Hunters..]

If not in all seasons, I'd like to see xbows in the late muzzleloader/archery season

['Dubutante Hunters' Short film]

This is a great short film/documentary that won an award at the 2012 Sundance Movie Festival

[Anyone going to Harrisburg this month?]

I'll be down there the 9th and 10th

[Long Island Shotgun Deer Lottery]

1413 wooooo!!

[Long Island Gun Season]

Does anyone know if you can hunt private land in january without a lottery selection?

[Rare Piebald Deer]

I actually saw one of these eating on the side of I-87. Just before Exit 16 onto route 17. Made me double take.

i saw the same one in the same spot, saw it last year and in september this year

[Tracking Lights]

I have used the Primos Bloodhunter flash light, and I think it's a waste of money. I had more success with a regular flash light following a blood trail, than the blood light.

[Do you shoot the doe if the fawns are with her?]

I do feel bad, but if the doe is with 2+ fawns, if I were to shoot, I'd rather shoot the young doe cause the adult will probably produce another 2+ deer the following year. Less meat but better eatng.

[Whitetail Whiskey]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a bottle of Whitetail Whiskey on LI? I saw the advertisement on the back of the New York Game & Fish magazine, and was just curious to try it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Apples and jumping deer]

I agree apples are everywhere on my property. I didn't even know I had this many apple trees. Pear trees are coming in very well too.
