I remember that and you could get a 20 round box of Remington .30-06 ammo on sale for $9.99!

If you carefully read the supportive link, which is heavily legalese, it does not say anything included in the meme. Here are the two main issues: Barr improperly withheld portions of an internal memo Barr cited in announcing that then-President Donald Trump had not obstructed justice in the Russia investigation, and Barr has said he looked to that opinion in concluding that Trump did not illegally obstruct the Russia probe, which was an investigation of whether his campaign had colluded with Russia to tip the 2016 election. versus Friday's appeals court decision said the internal Justice Department memo noted that "Mueller had declined to accuse President Trump of obstructing justice but also had declined to exonerate him." The internal memo said "the Report's failure to take a definitive position could be read to imply an accusation against President Trump" if released to the public, the court wrote. The link is silent on Biden and never says anything about withheld exculpatory evidence. In the legal world you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, in the science world an absence of evidence (of obstruction) is not proof (of no obstruction). The facts: Obstruction was not proven and exculpatory evidence was not found. Legal fundamentals: In a criminal case, the verdict is either guilty or not guilty; NOT "innocent". Spin: The right says he is not guilty and the Left says he is not "innocent".

How do you know it was the scent of the Evercalm and not the smell of the Deer-E-Ere?

This is so true and you only need to look at the no hunting areas of NY with deer. There are deer in these areas that people get photos of that are easily B&C class bucks.

You shouldn't be pissed. Upset, yes but also glad. You and your Dr. were aware of it and monitoring it. You caught it very early. This is how good medicine is supposed to work. Too many people die unnecessarily from melanoma.

When i was young, the old timers used to talk about going "chuck" hunting (1950s/1960s), but a rabies outbreak wiped them out. This was long range shooting. Never hear anyone doing this anymore. Is anyone doing anything like this? Are there other varmints?

...or tiny man with average fisher LOL!

Don't be dumbfounded by DEC and deer management. It is not about buck or herd quality. It is about license sales $$$$. Regardless of whether there are deer or not, they know people will buy licenses when they can get tags. Recall in the recent past when deer take numbers were down, they said it was not about lack of deer but hunters not being successful. Appreciate this is from an agency that has a history of saying, there are no coyotes in NYS, then the coyotes do not prey on deer, there are no moose in NY, there are no turkey on LI (they stocked them), there are no coyotes on LI, etc etc

Stories like this always make me wonder if the deer knew you were there and was waiting for you to leave before making his move. I know bucks/deer learn to pattern us too.

It is also my understanding that leucism and piebald, are caused by recessive genes that get expressed through too much inbreeding, which is not good. We hunters may like the "exotic" look, but it is a sign of an unhealthy herd.

My understanding from years ago was that the Seneca white deer were all white (leucism), no brown and not albino (no pigment). The deer in the photos appears to be an extreme piebald, as there are brown patches.

This is one of the dumbest statements he could make! First, he is looking for a precedent incident to justify the law. Second, even if there are precedent incidents, those crimes were not committed because the perpetrator purchased ammo from out of state and had it shipped!!!! Crimes are perpetrated by individuals who chose to behave and act criminally, it has nothing to do with choice of implement/weapon or how that implement/weapon or its accessories was acquired! Here's a question for the AG, if a NYS resident travels out of state, purchases the ammo in person, and then ships it themselves to their NY residence, have they commited a crime?

Agree with the others; but hey if you look at what hunting truly costs us, minus the license, it economically does not make sense either. Hunting boots, hunting clothes, weapons, accessories, ammo, gas, tolls, butchering, etc etc etc. I'll even bet that if you go and get your personal best buck , it would be money well spent!

Guess it all depends on who (DEC officer) you get. Years back on LI state co-op I arrowed what I tough was a doe. When I recovered it, it turned out to be a small spike with one antler measuring exactly 3". I tagged it as a buck using my archery tag. Back at the check station the DEC officer told me "I would have let you tag this one as a doe". Who knows what would have happened had I done that. Another story regarding it all depends on who you get. Years back we were hunting a piece of private property, with permission, for the first time with friends and family. The landowner owner explicitly told us the neighbor across the road trespasses and he doesn't want him on the property. The day before opener as we were checking it out the local neighbor across the road came over to throw us out. We explained that we had permission to hunt it and would be in there tomorrow. We said nothing about what the landowner told us to keep things peaceful. Opening day we park the trucks about 75 yards into the property. One of the party shoots a doe that morning. As we drag the deer to the trucks there is a DEC officer waiting for us. He asks who the lucky hunter was and to see the completed carcass tag. The hunter explains he was going to fill it out now as his pen was in the truck. The gut pile was literally 50 yards away. Well, DEC officer informed us that the tag needs to be completed immediately in the woods at the kill site, but does not need to be attached until at a road. DEC officer confiscated the deer and issued the hunter a ticket!

Agree, all depends. I had a spot that had you walking the side of a 45 degree mountainside that was all rock. Walking this in the dark you risked falling and breaking a knee cap. Only safe to walk during decent light. Also have a spot on dead flat terrain with trails that can be easily & safely walked in the dark.

Thats been my experience. I think scent control is more important than attractant scents.

You both can be right. It depends on deer density, the type of land your hunting, and how much land. Does your land hold deer all 4 seasons or just one? Does your land hold deer only during specific conditions? Do you have the deer patterned? It could be land that needs the rut to have the bucks moving through it and then it is dumb luck.

Look closer. It's actually a track & roller, not a pulley. That's commercial butchering apparatus. Those deer are on meat hooks.

Also look at Van Staal

Was it snowing? Deer sense are #1 nose, #2 ears, & #3 eyes. The opposite of humans. Probably heard them, could not sufficiently see them, and did not smell them.

Also how many members are there currently and what is the maximum membership number?

Most folks feet get cold for 2 reasons. First, poor circulation (boots too tight), and second wet feet (either from sweating or external soaking). The principles above hold true for feet too. A wicking sock (nylon dress socks work), an insulating sock (wool), and insulated (3M thinsulate) waterproof breathable (leather or Goretex) boots (not rubber). The boots should be loose enough to freely wiggle your toes but not allow your whole foot to slide up and down when walking. Electric heated socks, if needed. Importantly, know your foot size and try on boots with the socks as you intend to wear them. Buy based on the fit not the size marked on the shoe or box. If you have a wide foot you need wide boots, not the next half-size up. Appreciate everyone's tolerance for the cold is different based on conditions and our own physiology. You need to dress for what works for you and the activity.

Lots out there on this topic. This is the short of it. Down is warmest, next is wool, and then 3M Thinsulate. Need to layer correctly. Base for wicking moisture (sweat), then loft for warmth/heat retention, followed by barrier for wind/rain protection. Many folks are having good results with electric heated vests. Most heat is lost from head and neck area so do not forget to cover them up too.

The law is ridiculous! The same criminal that will steal your gun, will steal your locked fireproof hardsided case (with your gun in it)! ...and if he/she gets caught, they will be released no-bail for this non-violent crime (theft).
