Do you think that landowners in years past used to be more hunter-friendly back in the day and more of them would allow hunting on their property?

Whats up guys? Havent been on ina LONG time and just now, started to get back into my old hobbies & pastimes, hunting included? How have you done so far? Ive been out 2x, both outing on Sunday; saw a 3 pointer first Sunday that refused to leave until I shooed him away lol, and nada this past Sunday. Hbu?

Unfortunately, I think that the population of "Suburban Deer" (i.e., those leaving within village/city limits) may be increasing , in contrast to the rural population. Tons of deer in Rockland county in loplaces you cant hunt and/or private property ; not so much on state/publica land. I think thyeve figure out theyre safer living right on top of us!!

Excellent post Grouse; enjoyed reading VERY much

I've only been out 2x so far this season: both outings on sunday. Saw a 3 pointer first sunday and absolutely nothing last sunday. I agree that hunting pressure has been light , but you would think that would to our advantage, right?

I actually particpated in this program about 10 yrs ago when I was teaching a Wildlife Conservation class- Great Program!! We got our eggs in early October, raised the trout throughout the fall and early winter , and released the fingerlings sometime in April, I believe into the Wawayanda Creek in Warwick. Thanks for the info, Lefty, and I would urge those that can get involved to do so; its for a great cause!!!

Virg, the same argument can be applied to many who agree with the dems too, dont you think? Truth be told, I didnt find my guys VH and Lefty , for example to be overly tolerant to an opposing POV.

Been that way for a very long time , sadly; take it from an Educator for 25yrs whos seen it, first hand!

Why describe as a "rabbit hole"n if you seemingly agree there are major problems with contemporary education America?

Hey Guys!! Hope everyones doin well; havent posted in awhile , but felt compelled to for my fave sporting event of the year!! Ypu, thats right!! The NCAA tourney ( to me, anyway) ranks even higher then the Superbowl, probably, cuz it lasts longer !! anyway, for those that are into it, who ya got in your Final 4 and your eventual National champion?? This is me: Final 4 South - #4 UVa Midwest- #1 Hou Championship game: Gonzaga over UVa East- #5 Duke West- #3 Gonzaga I think its FINALLY the year for the Zags to break through and win the title- what about you? (althoughI want Duke to win!!)

Hey Guys; I know I've posted similar messages before on here to no avail , but thought I'd give 'er a try again!! Hi-Lo Hunting club (Est. 1979) is currently seeking new members for the 2023-24 Hunting season!!Hi-Lo Hunting Club is located several miles outside of the village of Parksville, Ny and abuts the Willowemeoc Wild Forest . The Willowemoc Wild forest is a NYSDEC forest preserve consisting of over 10,000 acres of state land and has a multitude of well-marked trails and roads to traverse in pursuit of game; in addition, the club also has some leased private land available. If interested, send me a pm and ill provide some details. Thanks, David

I dont know about you guys, but Im REALLY strarting to get worried about the status, safety and security of our country right now; did you see the update on the News yesterday? ANOTHER aircraft/object had enetered our airspace? This time over northern Alaska and shot down? Methinks the Chinese can sense that a fool is runnin the show over here and theyre right!! Whatcha think??

Bravo !! GC , with all due respect , this is the real reason your 2 nd amend. Rights are potentially being threatened . We’re it not for mass shootings becoming prevalent in American society over the past 30 yrs , no one would be even talking about it as a serious policy corrective measure . Reason behind this ? The cultural and moral decay we’re experiencing as a country , that which is actively perpetuated by your Democrat party , I’m afraid .

Where'd you get that call? I might try it this year.

I had one actually follow me a couple seasons ago while out scouting. Unfortunately, I left my rifle behind cuz too lazy to carry it , figuring I was just "Scouting" anyway; and the deer seemed to know it. What a mistake!!!

Al, do you use any calls when your squirrel hunting? I read that rubbing the ends of 2 quarters produces a sound that imitates squirrels feeding on acrorns/nuts ; used it a number of years ago but results were mixed in terms of success.

Very incoherent....

I never said - or implied- that it was. I do understand your point, though that Babbitt made a conscious choice to break the law and go into the capitol building, whereas Floyd did not. Having said that, I think that it is also fair to say that by all other metrics, Babbitt was the superior citizen and a far better person than Floyd , who was, absolutely and unequivocally, a worthless piece of s#@%. Of course, that doesnt give law enforcement the right to summarily execute him for his repeated immorality, either, so Im in agreement with you there.

I think this man makes ALOT of sense!! This is precisely why Biden and the Dems will NOT win the White House in '24- check it!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gKLneo9lGs

Did you guys see the update in the news on this story? Looks like "Brandon" had quite a treasure trove of top secret docs that the Feds found at his Wilmington ranch!! Top Secret classified docs spread everywhere now!! The thing that really disturbs me , here, is not the mishandling of the docs, but rather, the arrogant smug way that he accused My guy of "irresponsibility in that CBS interview!! Remember, he asked rhetorically: How could he be so irresponsible??!! Well, Whos being irresponsible now, Joe!! Sad part about it is, though , that in due to his advanced state of dementia, he probably forgot he even had 'em!! What a buffoon this man is!!

Just saw this thread - love these guys !! Do they ever hunt the Catskills to any one’s knowledge ? I think they’ve done Adirondacks before , but not sure about the ‘Cats .

Biden is absolutely horrible , for myriad reasons...perhaps this not not one of them ?? I have a question:whos worse, Brandon or his former boss Barry !!

You cannot be serious

We essentially agree here , only difference being that Floyd was a punk - a worthless waste of a human being. In contrast, I would say Asli Babbitt was not although she clearly had no business being where she was at the time of her demise.
