WNYBuckHunter Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I don't need to look at a map ,I have lived less then a mile from Deerwood golf course for 38 years . Here is the hunting rules for north tonawanda ,directly off their website. Ill wait to see some facts from DEC.

A couple of Facebook pics dont really prove much.I agree ,I already regret starting a topic about it . I let my emotions get the best of me and I automatically jumped to the conclusion that it was fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Some people sure make confusing statements on here!

Lawdwaz Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Who says the golf course didn't allow someone to hunt the deer? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk The golf course is in a "no hunting zone", the police do bait & shoots. I don't think the DEC would permit the golf course to kill antlered deer.......................I could be wrong but I highly doubt it.

Lawdwaz Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Here is the picture I got. Seeing two things in the picture: 1) The deer appears to have a wound on both sides in the two pics near/in the shoulder area? 2) The pic is staged on the side of a road, was it pounded by a car/truck/golf cart?? Thoughts and feelings are welcome. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let my emotions get the best of me and I automatically jumped to the conclusion that it was fact. It happens. If it does turn out to be poached, and they catch the person, I hope the state makes an example of them. BTW, when you look at the city's penalty for getting caught hunting, its a $250 max fine. I spend that much on fertilizer for one food plot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just guessing that maybe when they pulled it out to the road to confiscate or what ever they were gonna do with it ,they let the kid pose for a picture?

Five Seasons Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 So someone shot that monster and just left it there? You say left the body as if he took the head but thats obviously not the case. that's what i'm confused about. you don't just poach a monster to leave it there. makes no sense.

shawnhu Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Why is that entire area off limits to deer hunting, BTW? Seems the entire state legalizes it except for that area and then around NYC. I also know of a few towns that does not allow hunting aside from those mentioned.

Jeremy K Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I have pictures of that deer and 2 others the same size feeding in a woman's yard ,she can feed them from her hand . My guess is who ever shot it got cold feet after the shot and just said "screw this" . Which makes for 2 points ,the first being that these deer are so tame that how is it even rewarding to shoot one and the second point is that the neighbors around here enjoy seeing these giant animals walking the neighborhood which makes for alot of prying eyes if someone where to try and drag that thing to a spot to leave with it.

genesee_mohican Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I wonder too if the deer was struck by a car, and someone then came along and cut the head off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd gladly double the price if it meant more ECOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
