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.



Be a dickhead in another thread if you must. Same with you sod.

If your inviting us to hunt on your land you can tell us what to shoot otherwise go F yourselves!! You have no reason where , why or to what standard each of us hunt.


Good deer everyone. Stay safe in this wind. I got up if was howlin so went back to bed. Maybe this afternoon.

The neighbor kid was hunting out back this morning in WNY.  He saw two 1-1/2 year old bucks (a 6 and a small 8 pt) but is saving his buck tag for something bigger.  He did arrow "doezilla" when she came by with a set of twins.  He also saw another old doe with twins.    His family raises beef cattle and don't care for venison, so he just dropped her off for us.   We should be all set now with ground venison for the year, with that and a bit smaller one that I killed up in the NZ on Tuesday with my ML.  It looks like good, inside the garage, hide-on, hanging weather in the long range forecast this week, so I guess I have some butchering to do on Saturday.   With all that meat in or headed to the freezer already, I am going to be selective with my own remaining tags and I am not going to bother getting more when they come out on Nov 1.

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.
 

Where you say you hunt 9p the  probability of you getting a DMP is 0  and almost 0 with ppreq.

And success rate is only 25% for the dmp's they do give out .

So why are you bad mouthing people that shoot  does when the  chances of you actually getting anything even in your area is so low . AND on public land it's going to be even lower then that .

8pt from earlier pic I posted was shot by my buddy at 15yards. His Dad scored as well and shot a 4pt. Have them hanging at my in laws now. Went and pulled card on cam, so disappointed. I slept in this morning and had 2 doe and a gorgeous 7pt under my stand at 730 this morning and a beauty of an 8 was there around 3am so they are moving.

rob, deer typically run that ridge top?

First time sitting in that spot. Been sitting a little farther up the mountain, and yes, I have seen a few does walking that stone wall always just out of bow range. Tried to get set up closer today.

Listen to yourself, your excuses are embarrassing to listen to. Even is my area where deer are as scarce as reports say, I still see does constantly- and the deer that started this discussion was a 6 month old male, so small it will be tagged as a doe. 

Just for your info I am 9 straight years of harvesting a 6-12 point buck on state land, with pressure all around me. Hunting thick forest, no food plot, no private land, and it is no problem for me to harvest a mature buck every year. So no there is no excuse for someone to shoot a deer the size of my Boxer. 

I fought very hard keeping our Country safe as a Ranger, every mass casualty incident I have been in I always saved women and children first, I WILL NEVER encourage a fawn being killed. Take pride in what you harvest, not an adolescent with no chance. 

I look forward to the day NYS instates a 3 point minunum

OK THAT'S ENOUGH! MOVE IT ALONG NOW!

This is for guys to let people know how and when they are or sometimes.30's aren't hunting...to share how and when and successes and even failures. NOT TO DEBATE PERSONAL SIZE PREFERNCES. let's just drop this yearly VS and move on.

BTW.Sun's out, nice temps but huge mature trees are spinning like tooth picks in a blinde der

If you are such an expert at killing mature deer every year, please start another thread and share some of that knowlege. Otherwise stop criticizing others for taking deer in a legal manner and being happy for whatever they choose to kill.

I always thought a 1/2 year old buck would be a button buck at most. If that's the case, Elmo shot a 1 and 1/2 year old. No different than many 4s 6s and maybe even 8s in some part of this state. What makes it great for Elmo is that it gets tagged as an anterless, so he can actually shoot 3 bucks this year.

      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!
