Apparently, gloss doesn't sell. Personally, I love fixed power scopes... 4x or 6x. However, it seems the most abundant scopes now are very high power with huge bells that weigh too much for typical hunting rigs. Hard pass from me.
I think that the only way you can get a replacement tag is to have DEC come out and inspect foul deer. You will not be able to have any of it… ie antlers.
I have spent in the tens of thousands of dollars for NYS non-resident big game, turkey, bear, small game, archery and gun licenses, Deer Mgt tags etc for my wife and myself. Loved every minute.
Same here. Our long time (since 1966 at least) hunt ritual at our cabin in Steuben is over. Only my wife and I are left. We both have some medical issues to be addressed, so no trip to NY this year. Maybe next year if I'm still vertical.
PS. On a good note, we did get to meet Pygmy and his bride a couple of times! LOL
