That's how I do it, after I shoot and gut them I put them on back of my quad and drive them back to camp.Dave

Can't argue with that, all true. Plus we never paid for DMP.Dave

Yea, take Tonto Joe with you.

Joe why do you always assume that people are ignorant and you have all the answers? How do you know what people think? I guess TONTO JOE knows all and the rest of you are ignorant of what is going on. Astounded that you can make such a statement with nothing to back it up. You under estimate people that's your major fault.Dave

Welcome

I won't hold my breath. The next time I see Mr. VJP posting I will pass it by.Dave

I know exactly whats happening in our Gov't it's on the news, radio. I read about it everyday. Just don't want to read it on this site.Dave

The response was about the position that Tom took about the money. Some feel the DEC just wants to generate money some think it's about improving the deer herd. If it's about the B/Ml getting by with free DMP then I suggested adding $10 to the license but it's not about the money in my opinion It's about Deer management in the areas that need to increase the numbers of deer. Dave

Why don't you quit with all the political crap and stick to hunting? I don't logon to get depressed so please give us a break. I am sure if you try you can find something good to post that may be up lifting and not depressing.Dave

Selfish? If your not smart enough to figure out that it's about the money than I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge!!LOL If you think for one minute that the state has not been able to compile enough data over the years tellimg them what % of does are taken by bow/mzl hunters and than issued DMPs to offset the #'s of does needed to be takin than I'll sell you that bridge for the $10 "the price of my DMP"!! LOL I'm not saying in these fiscal hard times that the state doesn't need to come up with ways to make $ but don't blow sand up my rear end by telling me that doing away with the either sex tage well better enable them to control the deer herd!! They plan on "SELLING" those tages!! As I have stated before I would "GLADLY" by one of those tag's if they were to assure me that I would get it to compensate for the one that they plan on taking away!! Tom , I agree if it's about the money they are losing then they should just add $10 to the bow license. Then continue to have either sex tags this would keep us from being put in a lottery which we may not be selected, and if not selected we lose our $10. Dave

I think the problem is that most of these guys are locals. If you are not a local and you report them you have to worry about finding your camp burned down the next time you are up.Dave

Bubba, how much do they weigh when they are ready to butcher.Dave

Go to the DEC web site it's for the ash boring beetle. It's a purple sticky trap.Dave

Bubba, do you raise the cattle for sale?Dave

Hope she will be okDave

Pygmy, thanks for responding and for all the information it is very helpful. May not hunt Pa. this year but will next year. Now I know how it works. Thanks again .Good luck this hunting season.Dave

I feed my dog Natural Balance sweetpotato and venison it works well for this allergy . Has anyone given their dogs venison for allergy? A friend of mine said it cleared up his dog's ear infections. Dave

Must be getting old, as thursty as I was I couldn't finish a can of beer before it started to get warm.So I practiced on a few more. It was just that hot. Hope I do better today Dave

Why wouldnt it make sense? The either sex tags allow you to shoot a doe, and the DEC has no control over what unit you use it in. If you just said restrictions or no DMP make sense for certain units, then how can you say people in or that hunt those units should be given an either sex tag? BTW, if you shoot a deer with your bow during regular season, you use your regular season tags, not your bow/ml tags. Oh, and you can use your normal DMPs during bow season. They are not currently just a "gun tag". Buck, even though you use your regular season tag, you still need a bow license to use your bow.You are right with a bow/ml tag we do not know what unit they will hunt. This is hard to manage unless the DEC removes the either sex tags .I know it's what they have to do but as a bow hunter I don't agree. I agree with some of the 5 year plan but not all of it. Dave Yes, you have to have your bow tags even during regular season, but you dont use them then. I hear ya, its one of those things that nobody really likes (I sure dont), but we know it needs to be done. I am willing to bite the bullet for a few years if it means better hunting in the future.

I agree with the point that there should be restrictions or even no DMP given out in areas with low deer counts. This should be done on a unit by unit basis, only makes sense if we want the herd to recover. But I don't believe that removing the either sex tag from the bow hunter is not the answer. First we pay for a bow license even if we just want to use a bow in gun season we need a license. Plus it is more difficult to take a deer with a bow as compared with a gun. So limiting the DMP for gun hunters makes more sense just my opinion. But if the deer count in a certain are is extremely low than neither bow or gun should be able to harvest any does. The income generated from the Bow/ML tags will affect the DEC if these rules are implemented. We would only be hunting with gun and shotgun but the DEC wanted more money and hence we have Bow/ML tags with the benefit of either sex tags. Whats why we buy those tags!!!!!!! Dave

What no AC ?Dave

Best of luckDave

Don't miss that commute, did it for 38 years by train and car. To Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, and Westchester.Dave

You got the right idea. Especially the hydrating part.Dave
