Ok back to the thread title I'm apologize to all that I have offended. Everyone has there reasons I'm done again I'm not judging any other hunters choice just my own opinion which shouldn't matter here.Carry on

Its not that your opinion doesn't matter...it's that you pushed it when guys were posting pics of deer they were obviously excited about and then they have to read what you wrote...would yoypost a pic of a deer you werent puped to get? you should have started a thread that said..."reasons you would shoot a young deer" start one and you will get some answers

My buddy just texted me this picture with NO DETAILS and I'm freaking out. I can only assume he shot it but he hunts with his Dad too. Either way, this is an awesome deer for either of them and I'm stoked they were successful.

Sodfather I disagree- I think this was the right place right time, clearly everyone reads this thread. 

There is so excuse for someone to shoot a 6-8 month old deer, if someone is that desperate for meat- 2 weeks of meat is not the answer. Just pure laziness in my opinion and lack of skills, its not hard to kill a mature doe or a couple year old buck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish fawns spots stayed on for a year- so they would make it past there first hunting season and mature for the next year. There are clearly to many hunters out there that can't judge a yearling when they loose there spots.

Congrats Elmo...any bow kill should be congratulated...As far as tagging you can use whatever you have. The bow tag is for either sex OR if they are under 3" you can use a DMP. If you use the either sex tag you cannot shoot a buck for the remainder of the bow season.

Try not being a douche nozzle and read some posts and get to know the people of this online community before you come on here and with your 19th post start bashing people. I know it's the internet and you can say whatever you want but be prepared for the consequences. 

Don't feed the trolls and they will go find food elsewhere.

That is all I have hunted for my 18 years of hunting, with 5-10 other trucks in the parking area.

Try going in the woods more then 50 feet- you would be surprised mature deer ACTUALLY live in woods, tough to believe I know.
 

I have killed 3 1.5 year old bucks...one was my first buck ever..a 4pt...one was another 4pt I got on the last day of the season and the only buck I saw all season..and a 5pt I got as my first bow buck last season. I was super excited and shaking like a leaf on all three..now my opinion has changed a little bit and I am hoping to stick to a self imposed 6 or bigger rule...every persons opinion is different and none are wrong...unless you are supporting hillary Clinton of course

Getting ready to go out for an afternoon watch missed the morning watch got out of work to late this morning and was beat. Taking my best friends son that I started mentoring last year he is now 14 and has his safety course so this will be his first sit on his own I hope he at least sees something. I would have liked to have gotten him out for youth weekend but he was out of town with his family. I will report back later hopefully with some harvest pics, good luck to all!

      Gun Hunt in 3G, 3F, 3N Help
      By Raul2145
      Hi Everyone, 
      It is current the last week for regular season in upstate NY. Living the life working and being a full time student, I have some time off this week and would like to take a ride upstate to do a gun hunt. Never have I hunted public land in the areas 3 G, F, or N and was looking for some recommendations and help! I had used the DEC info locator and found California Hill and thought I might go there. Is there any recommendations on areas to go to in any of the wmu’s? Or on California? Any help would be really appreciated!! 
       
      best of holiday wishes!

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      Any good spots within an hour of New Paltz?
      By Toth9050
      I'm new to the area and looking for some places to hunt  the next few weekends through bow/muzzleloader season. I'm living in New Paltz, and the place that seems the most promising to me so far is Vernooy Kill State forrest, and north into Sundown. Has anyone had any luck in these areas? Is there anywhere better in the area I should check out? Any info is welcome

      Rocky Point
      By Raul2145
      Hi Everyone,
      My name is Raul and I am a new hunter! I've been hunting public land for now, but have been suffering. I've done 2 10 hour sits at Kings Park and 3 10 hour sits at Rocky Point and haven't seen one deer. I use a treestand and use scent blocker. I also get there super early in the morning. I need help! I plan to go again this friday. I scouted Rocky point after the first day and always see sign and I try to hunt the areas, but no success. I hunt around 42 and 36 I think. If someone wants the exact spot I can send them it on a map. I am really just looking for help in any areas and everything. I have put so much effort yet all i want is to just see one that will keep moral up. Any help is really appreciated!
