He must of..because he can't ever read the graph. Pretty sad really.

He was doing his part to prevent high grading .....

I love reading The stories of killer attack dogs out in the country. I think Grow related to mother goose. After all she has more stories than her

Yes unofficially sanctioned by the DEC at secret meetings.

He doesn't need and more encouragement to spout his foolishness.....

One thing for sure with this kind thread we get to see the dirt bags we have among us in our ranks as hunters. The dog shooters and the supporting posters.

You mean it wasn't avoidable if the asshole didn't shoot the dogs?

I lost a hell of a nice mule deer buck when the land owner denied me access to retrieve the deer, then to add salt on the wound a short time later he went and got the buck. I like to think that karma will bitch slap him but it's out of my hands. My only redemption was killing its twin 8 days later. I think right to recover laws are in everyone's best interest and applaud states that already gave it on the books.

Exactly. No need for ARs at all. Some simple changes would be more effective then AR's in the long run. One buck per license to be used in any season with any weapon. 9 day state wide regular season, starting first Saturday after thanksgiving. DMP that are person and unit specific. But don't worry the same people bitching about AR will find causes to bitch about any positive changes.

I am not apposed to relaxed regs for youth hunters. I am apposed to people using that as excuse to do nothing and not progress. Personally i am willing to compromise on most regs, anything to get NY deer hunting out of the bottom of the barrel that it is. Truth be told AR ate t even my first choice when it comes to changes that need to be made however I think they are better then status quo.

I never said otherwise. As soon as the AR issue gets brought up the first thing the naysayers say is that young people will stop hunting. I don't see a lot of young people hunting period, nevermind worrying about the what size buck they kill. What I do see is the same guys year after year killing the first scrub they see year after year. Then they spend then rest of the season filling doe tags, or their bear tag....or the 8 point that walks by and then their wife magically tags it.

10/27/1990 . It was a 5 point, no brow tine on the left side. Thinking Back it was probably a 2.5 year old deer.

Don't question his manhood ...

We lose hunters because they actually have to be semi selective and actually hunt? Were we loosing huntings years ago when we had hardly no doe permits to shoot antlerless deer? What about the when we had doe to buck ratios that where insanely high? And buck harvest rates in the teens? As for young hunters is it such a bad thing to ask them to make a positive identification ?? Or are we all about providing instant gratification to get out of the woods ASAP to run to the xbox? I don't see young people leaving the sport or not joining the ranks because they can't shoot a spike horn.

Something that I would like ask all the naysayers. What the hell do we possibly loose by allowing bucks to get some age on them ? If nothing else at the very least we established a more natural age structure within herd. The excuses and back peddling is at the point of ridiculousness.

I lost all mine, no pictures available......

What these guys said^^

Congrats !

Nice buck. Even though I still have private property access on the island I have no desire to subject myself to that place anymore....

I would bet money he was being sarcastic....i haven't spoken to any Leo that has been in favor of anything safe act related. The majority are upfront calling it was it is. An infringement on law abiding citizens. This state sucks

That's a douche bag move. If it's was indeed something they couldn't pass up they could have handled it better, at least shown some class and gave you notice or the right of first refusal.

I'd shoot nether. They are both immature. You have no idea about potential based on yearling appearance.

There is no expiration date on my license

The outliers of the bell curve are ridiculous examples to use in this argument.
