Cornell late season

[Geno C]

Is anyone participating in the Cornell late season hunting? i am headed out friday to try and punch a tag. I like the system they have setup for it. They give you tags for 2 antlerless a day.

 

 

[the blur]

That's because there are no antlered deer now

yeah its a great time, lots of deer around there... and Dryden has some pigs out that way so i might partake in some bow hunting out there next year... Talk to Brad, you guys should sign up and try it out next season. We can meet up. This system they hve is great, its easy, clear and it works... i can book on my phone and do the reports on my phone. spots are clearly laid out with maps. very nice

this week im not to sure. I have Frost Ravine booked now for friday PM. Two of my buddies will be in parcel next to it on A2 to give it a try. Where have you been hunting?

[Hock3y24]

I signed up and was all excited until

My work schedule changed, so

My only day off I have a ccw class and can't make it.

[Northsox65]

Geno, I hunt with Gun so I am limited to the F Properties, I have a nice ladder stand set up in F1 behind the Airport.

[Geno C]

F1a? i was in there... If you were hunting it lately im sure i saw your truck. are you in the parcel that directly borders the airport or one of the other ones?

[Geno C]

there are alot of F properties tho and a few others that allow gun. thats all i am using as well. cant see headed in to an area i dont have a stand in or know and utilizing the bow... If im driving 35 min to hunt and can use gun in property i dont really know since this is my first year, then i am using it. lol

[Northsox65]

I completely understand, I hunt FI on Neimi RD, and also across from the old radio station off of Hanshaw. How did you do last weekend?

[Geno C]

Yeah I was on neimi also. Hunted it twice. Buddy missed a doe that slipped in behind and then next day I had a big doe come in but had no shot on. She 10 foot to clear a small hemlock row and I could have shot. How about you?

[Northsox65]

_{I had an easy shot on 2 small does, they looked about 50lbs each so I let them walk, hopefully some of the bigger does will be out this weekend.}

Isn't that counter productive? I thought the DEC wanted to decrease numbers??

They do, but they don't tell us we have to shoot anythijg and everuthing. I don't know about you but small yearling aren't worth my time in dressing and drag out. There are plenty of deer out there and other guys who would shoot them. I'd like to put meat in my freezer and little ones ain't going to cut it. The way I see it is, they give us a season to reduce numbers, if another 500 deer are shot due to that season I'd say hunters are doing their part and they benefit from it. But if I'm seeing deer I don't feel the need to do all that work for a small one.

For a while I have thought about this...our daughter works at Ithical so I could actually stay at her place and drive back and forth from Big Flats....but I have never hunted any public land  with or with out anyone...don't because...Well we are blessed with private and kinda feel strange encroaching on those that don't have that luxury....But having a late season would be fun...Would just need to stop injuring my self first to get around better....

[Zem18]

^{I heard about this last year I believe - The Tompkins County extended season correct? Where did you sign up for this? Will have to look into it for next year.}

Man, I bet you find a fetus or two when dressing.

 

That said I do wish NY would allow a longer bow season, but that's a different story.

 

What's the scoop on shed bucks...do they ask you to ID them and let them walk or don't they care?

you can bow hunt too if you signed up. they have designated spots for bow. no you dont have to ID a shed buck...

 

as far as fetus are concerned, yeah it can happen... I came back from one of my hunts the other day and a huge doe was hit almost in front of my house. We stopped and she was still barley alive, neighbors were peering through the window. We were getting ready to try and finish her since she was hit in the head and then the trooper showed up. He was extremely nice. We dragged her onto the guys front lawn and he finished her off. We took her and he gave us a tag. She was so big we were all almost certain she had babies in her but when we dressed her she had nothing. she was really just that big.
