biggamefish Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 They want you to hunt the pine bush because the deer eat the lupine which is a karner blue butterfly staple. They would rather see the butterfly than deer! Trust me if if the deer weren't hurting the environment in this way they wouldn't let hunters in there. Kind of a catch 22 if you know what i mean.

DEC and state would never let them off the hook for being closed to deer hunting. Five Rivers is different supposedly related to it being a "watchable Wildlife site". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may apply for DMPs this year. don't need them but thinking if I hunt there I should take doe if the opportunity should arise. Let me know if either of you are having trouble getting on deer in 4J public ground. Will do dbHunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Got my 4y, but things are not looking great here on the farm. The beavers moved in, flooded a large portion of the wooded area. Contacted DEC, the dam is on adjacent land whose owner does not want it destroyed, so no permit. Suggested allowing trapping. Have done that for several years, but now the backed up water is very deep so trapping will require a boat or canoe. Hey Thug, glad you are set, look forward to hearing from you in the coming weeks.

grampy Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Just got the coveted, hard to get 4 H, with only one preference point! WooHoo! More backstraps for the freezer! Should have stopped and bought a couple Lotto tickets on the way home! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njg0621 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 4C & 4K didn't draw either....funny how 4C is loaded with does but you need a PP to get a tag....NYS is a joke! How about we hand out a doe permit instead of a buck tag and let a few spikes grow up opening day. Anyways I'm not gonna get on a rant but if we did it like every other state that grows big bucks we would be in good shape. Congrats we are #1! We must be doing something right! http://www.wideopenspaces.com/top-10-worst-deer-hunting-states/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
