  1. Budget hasn't been passed or decided on , may be months..white knows,and then they can still pass as seperate bills
  2. Scared more.turky with dekes than came to them not sure if ultra real ones would improve that experiance..
  3. Looks like it is out of the budget, to be considered separately later this year.
  4. Yep as it is a muzzloader... ridiculous.. should of been archery equipment and required archery course from the get go
  5. When it passes you will be required to have archery course, no grandfathered in so your may as well take it if you have time to do so as it is online now and while knows for how long.
  6. Cant say without Predominant Wind direction? You may need to cut access trail or walk thru swamp to enter?
  7. Dont always think it's a hunter, had a owl hooter set.off a gobbler I was sitting under, he gobbled everytime and the guy kept.closing 100 yards and hooting, got to 200 yards and then closed to 50 yards and hooted , so I yelled to protect myself" hey get out of here!!" Quiet for 10 min then 50 yards off to my.left hooting again, bird 30 yards in front of me is going nuts!! So I picked up a crow call and just blew on it as hard as I could to let the guy know I was there.. and low and behold a barred owl flys up a d lands 10 ft.from me and hoots.. Quite embarrassing trying to get an owl to leave I thought for sure was a hunter running the ridge....
  8. 1st is it goes in archery all season you need an archery course, many are just to lazy to take it,unlike now classifying as a gun . The main thing is you still need to get in range of a deer with a crossbow, many who pick up crossbow and see deer duck arrows and arrows deflect off unseen limbs ,give up.. getting a crossbow doesnt mean they will kill a deer with it or even see one to shoot at. A crossbow doenst improve your hunting / scouting / set up skills.
  9. We do not the legislature handles game management, until. We have a right to hunt and fish in the state constitution to be managed by game dept, we are at mercy of legislative leaders.. I'd dec was in charge x bows would of been legal all of archery years ago
  10. This was big thing in Adirondack a few years ago.. legal nys definition The regulations define New York State's navigable waters to include “lakes, rivers and other waterways and water bodies on which water vessels with a capacity of one or more persons are operated or can be operated notwithstanding interruptions to navigation by artificial structures, shallows, rapids or other ... www.dot.ny.gov › opdm › 0...

  11. Can usually see penis sheath, hanging down ( long hair back by hind legs. ) pedical growth is usually apparent on older bucks.
  12. Killing a deer with bow is fairly easy if you know how to hunt, even seeing a deer with a gun in hand is a challange for many. If and when crossbows are properly listed as archery equipment then an archery course will be required ,no. Grandfathering in. This alone is best reason to put it in archery season.
  13. Not true above a natural falls is not. though stream. May be deep enough above if you need to get out and drag or Portage any point to terminus above that natural obstacle is not navigable.
  14. All the apps a d tax maps are approximate. If you want actual lines you need a survey and GPS coordinates a good GPS will let you then follow your line and set way points if you set a line of travel from point a to point b.. everything else is approximate. Huntstand, onyx, do not have the accuracy if you fighting over feet, if you want general approximation then yes they are decent. But old wire fences are approximate as well and can be off several feet. Sometimes the farmers had a road way around the fenced fields that were theres for.maintanace .and the fence is 10 of 15 ft off the line. Had friend run into this when he put stand just off old fence top of the hill ,land sold next to him and his elaborate wood stand was 10 ft on the neighbors land when surveyed ...
  15. Wonder where everyone stands on legalization of spear for deer I'd really like to use one and since it's so hard perhaps the season. Can be exclusive spear only for entire month of November, as I will need a dumb deer to throw a spear at, and rut seems best time to hold it. I'm sure you gun hunters and archers and crossbow users will understand as this will be a difficult harvest and I'll need the entire woods to myself as not to spook game and further cant take the chance that you may accidentally kill the dumb deer that I had picked out..... thanks in advance for your support!
  16. Well you best tell my sister in law that any one can hit a pie plate at 100 yards cause she cant hit one at 30yards with a gun.. Heck I saw a man with a stick bow shoot 3 arrows at a deer and hit it each time in less than 5 seconds.all we good shots, I'd bet most would be putting the rope cocker on an x bow if they got it out of their pocket that fast.. and deer would be out of range. Shooting targets is completely differnt than shooting at game no matter the temp or weather they dont move!! I've seen Olympic archers that cant hit a deer broadside at 30 yards..
  17. Non navigable put a fence across it and posted signs in middle, if a canoe can go down it you do not own it to weigh water mark.
  18. 1st archery is any weapon where an arrow is propelled by a string where energy is stored in a limb, a firearm is any weapon that propels a projectile by an explosive gas . You have never held a crossbow obviously as you wouldn't want to be walking around with them heavy , wide and harder to hide when moving. As for drawing close on an alert deer , your doing something wrong never draw or even.move on an alert deer. It will bust you and duck arrow no matter if crossbow or compound or even stickbow.. The most important thing you said is people use it like a shotgun, and that's because the perception is made it's a gun and the main reason it should be put as archery equipment and an archery course required to set people straight on its limitations and it has many.
  19. Mine is 690 ft long, I plow it . The key is plow it before you drive on it with out using skid plates bottom of plow. and buy a York rake to bring stone back into it in spring. 27 years and only issue I had was on year it was driven on multiple times and packed so it turns to ice. Did that one year.. never again. I simply get up and plow when it needs to be.
  20. Suckering is more vigorous in winter and fall than spring and summer ,just make sure you cut the stumps low as possible across root flare/swell
  21. Deadhead and matched set
