Opening Day 10 Point - Ontario County

[fasteddie]

Eddie, it will be happening. I can't even begin to tell you how many people I talked to had no idea about this regulation. It blows my mind how many go prepare for or start a season without reading the regulations. But as we see on here, it happens every year.

 

It has been talked about here . It has been on the local news TV and Radio . It has been written about in the New York Outdoor NEWS . So , if someone hasn't heard about it , they must live under a rock .

^^ Not to mention that when I was at cabela's in Buffalo last there was a sign by the register that said "Attention: the following WMU's will be antlerless only from 10/1-10/15" with a list.

Are you guys forgetting how many people walk around with their heads straight up their butts each day?

I can see guys not knowing , and I'm not making excuses for them but......

Most hunters have not even heard of this forum much less visit it, same for Outdoor News, and a 30 second news story is easy to miss since, many never watch TV news.

What I don't get is don't they ever talk to other bow hunters ? it's been brought up to me by every bow hunter I know.

Also throw in the NY Hunting / Trapping guide that Comes with ones lic. In my world it would be bolded in Orange on the cover. It's not even mentioned in it under " Highlights of Changes " !!! You have to go to the maps of seasons to find anything and even then there is no separate text on it that I could find.

Still it falls on the hunter to know .

You mean the ones I haven't been able to get for 2 years when I originally got my license? I had to make a special trip to grab one because they were out both years. I don't know this year, because I haven't gotten my license yet.

We all know ignorance is bliss - especially if you aren't caught.  I have to believe there will be pics of bucks killed posted on the web with the relevant info sufficient to hang the hunter by his own noose.

I'm not concerned about shooting a buck as I have never seen one while hunting in my lifetime..

Get a ton of big boys on camera but never see them in the woods come season. Amazes me

I get my license online, they dont send you a guide with it.

You can walk into most any  WalMart , DICKs , Town Clerk's office and pick up a NYS Hunter Regulations Guide . Last year the Webster town clerk's office had a stockpile and I picked up a few in the spring time for the DICK's coupons ( $10 off $25 purchase) .

In the past 3 days I've had a few different people texting me asking is it true that I can't shoot a buck for the first 2 weeks so and so told me I can only shoot a doe.

Its crazy that non of them knew about the change and another crazy thing is each of them were hunting in areas where the change didn't effect them at all but they had people giving them bogus info.

Ya well opening day , evening hunt a slob of a buck 15 yards behind me with no clue I'm there. Now in all honesty he never gave me a good shot angle even if it was legal. But I'll say this I'm not im a hurry to hunt again till the 16th. Although I'll try maybe two mornings in stands that are more doe stands away from thick cover.

Anyone think this might have made more sense the beginning of regular season not archery? I mean I have shot some nice deer in the first 2 weeks but in all reality that is when most people are looking to fill their freezers anyway.

I'm usually that bow hunter you're talking about. Every bow hunter I've encountered in Westchester and Queens doesn't know about this new reg when I bring it up.
