Was over at Fireplace Neck today. Definitely some damage there. Two big blowdowns across the main road/trail. Somebody I guess took advantage of the storm. There's a poached deer right in the damn parking lot. Took the head, backstraps, most of the meat, and just left the whole carcass sitting just behind the rail of the parking lot.

it was temporary. please call up the DEC checkpoint, as you would need daily permit for november-december for rocky point. 631-924-3156

normally you have to call and reserve in one week advance. after that you need to show up on that day early morning and the checkpoint would allocate your hunting location.

That's just messed up, morons like that give us a bad name....geez dig a hole and hide the evidence....

Which reminds me of this: "....I dig a hole, I don't give a F$@%!$, its not the first hole I dug..." Best movie ever :-)

I guess hunting takes a break for a while until people get back home with electricity and gas, friend of mine just today got back home with power.....this is messed up... good luck Strong Island !!!!!!!
