Something like riding a bike wearing a bicycle helmet, fluorescent spandex, knee pads, and elbow pads, down the expressway in rush hour traffic, thinking no one will hit you because you are dressed "safely". Sometimes a little bit of common sense goes a long ways.

I would pay to see "turkeyfeathers" spelled out in the snow...or is your name AL

Another good reason to wear a safety harness

The guy was wrong for sure and will more than likely face charges but as usual the "news" is not reporting or have all the facts. Regardless if the gun is capable of that yardage who the hell can see two hundred yards at night. All facts are not out yet and if it like the rest of the reporting they do they never will be. Still a tragedy either way.

So is he

True story...I have a friend that cannot wait for any length of time so he came up with the bright idea of taking a milk jug with him in the stands. Some other friends found out about it and apoxied the rim one morning before he left for hunting. He found out you cannot zip up with a jug in he way

You should!!! Who in their right mind would take a walk around Canadice Lake in the middle of deer season. There are a lot better times of the year to take that walk..especially with your family.

Same to ya

Isn't that what everyone does??? Think of the money the guy or girl that invented them has made...just like the orange construction cones & barrels. The world would be a much prettier place without them.

So this morning decided to hunt a piece of state property where I have killed a few deer from and normally doesn't get hunted because of the steepness. It is very steep almost straight up and takes at least a half hr. to climb. Made it to the top huffing, puffing, and sweating pretty hard. Got about 50 yds. from where I normally sit and some guy starts whistling to let me know he was there. Walked down the hill a ways to give him some room. Saw a black squirrel, a bunch of gray squirrels, geese a flying, and a gut pile. Fifth day hunting and I haven't seen a deer. Good thing I don't take this gun hunting to serious. Congrats to all of those that have scored. I will be sitting out the rest of the day eating, drinking, being merry, and watching football. Hope everyone enjoys their day.

How long have you been hunting??? Don't you know you are suppose to shoot consecutive times until empty.

Runnings or Tractor Supply...smells good to

Just got in from a morning sit and didn't see a thing but now I have a greater appreciation of how Dorothy in the wizard of oz felt when the house blew away.

No such thing as a bad bow season for me. Whether I get anything or not it is my favorite time of the year. As far as productive it stunk, and the weather was not typical but it sure beats what I am having to go thru now Now I get to be in the woods and see no deer vs the 75 that I saw during bow season

Not a good day for "Charlies"...Charlie Rose had a bad day also. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/eight-women-say-charlie-rose-sexually-harassed-them--with-nudity-groping-and-lewd-calls/2017/11/20/9b168de8-caec-11e7-8321-481fd63f174d_story.html?utm_term=.07687e42e581

I would be pulling up my pants and leaving that party and looking for somewhere else to hunt.

Get the biggest you can afford...vertical/ horizontal option is nice but you won't need the vertical unless you are splitting some real heavy pieces and you still have to horse them around. I use to use a plank to roll the heavy ones up on my horizontal. When I burned wood I bought log loads and never got anything to big to handle. I have been using this for the last 4 or 5 years in my mowers, trimmer, atv, snowblower, etc . Treats 48 gallons for about $7.00 available at Tractor Supply or Lowes. It is usually cheaper at Lowes.

Safe Act Non-compliant

Or did I miss it??

Last sit for the season. I did a total of 31 sits. I spent 52 hrs. sitting in stands and couldn't tell ya how much scouting. For bow season I saw a total of 75 deer. 23 were bucks 28 were does and 24 I could not tell. I wasn't able to get any shots at anything decent and passed on the little ones. I played cat and mouse with two wall hangers and they won. Except for the shots echoing around the area of guys sighting their guns between 3:00 & 4:30 it was a nice and quite day to end the season. I had four doe run by and stop broadside at 4:45 just as I was leaving after a 2 1/2 hr. sit. (Go figure) I will go through the motions during gun season and enjoy my time in the woods and there is only 318 days til October first. My Views today.: Hope everyone has a successful gun season and short drags.. Shoot straight and most of all BE SAFE

Page 16 of the NYS hunting guide Transportation of Firearms A person may not transport or possess a shotgun, rifle or crossbow in or on a motor vehicle unless the firearm is unloaded in both chamber and magazine or the crossbow is unloaded or taken down. While legally hunting migratory game birds, a loaded firearm may be possessed in a motorboat not under power OR in a motorboat under power only while retrieving dead/ crippled birds. A muzzleloader is considered unloaded when the cap is off the nipple, the primer is removed, the primer powder is removed from the flintlock pan, or the battery is removed from an electric-fired muzzleloader. A crossbow is considered unloaded when the arrow/bolt is removed and the crossbow is uncocked. 2016–2017 New York Hunting & Trapping Guide The only requirement I am aware of is you are out at night spotlighting it needs to be cased. Also on page 16: Spotlighting You may use lights to observe wildlife under the following conditions: • You are not within 500 feet of a home or farm building, unless you have permission from the owner or lessee (when looking for deer or bear) • While in or on a motor vehicle and operating a light and no person has a firearm, bow, or crossbow unless: »» the implement is taken down, or »» the implement is securely fastened in a case, or »» the implement is locked in the trunk of the vehicle, or »» the implement is a handgun For information on hunting furbearers at night, see page 53.
