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 

 please tell us o great one where every year you manage to shoot 6-12 point bucks on state land because there is not very much  of it in  9p to begin with . Compared to other parts of the state 

I know Guys that hunt  on private land that don't even do that .

So we have a slight Coyote problem. I walk in today and see a larger very pretty yellow one. Too far for a shot. My friend sees it, takes a shot and is low. 5 minutes later another comes through, each the size of a Shepard. Now, 40 minutes in and a small one comes through out of range. Should've brought the rifle instead.

You mean shotgun with spray? Don't think you can carry rifle during archery deer seasons?

Didn't a few women pass ranger school? If your going to make shit up about yourself at least use something that holds value.

That's not 100% correct. If you are bow hunting you are not allowed to possess a firearm of any sort. According to the DEC that is.

You sir, are a disgrace to this country, and to NYS hunters. That's all.

Sorry for slight derail of "live" thread. But this has always confused me 

You may hunt furbearers with a rifle chambered in any cartridge, except that during any open season for deer - including archery, muzzleloading and regular seasons - you may not possess a rifle larger than .22 caliber rimfire afield, during the day or night, to hunt wildlife, including furbearers in any county or portion of a county where deer hunting with rifles is prohibited during the regular deer season. Centerfire rifles smaller than .22 caliber are permitted.

Right so if the county is a rifle county for deer you can use a rifle if not use a shotgun

Dang. Don't think you can hunt them with a rifle/shotgun  during open bow season. .22 rimfire i believe is ok but that's a little under gunned . I may be wrong on this. Law was always difficult for me to understand.  

Shotgun can be used during any deer season.
If you are in a zone which allows rifle for deer then you can use any rifle.
If you're in a shotgun only deer zone then you can only use either rimfire or centerfire calibers smaller than .22

Just wanted to let folks know that just because it's yote, turkey and other seasons, if you are bow hunting for deer, you cannot possess a firearm.

This is why I rarely use my phone to surf the web while hunting. You never know when a deer will show up.

Also, not sure if I was on my phone, I would take the time to type "hearing twigs snap gotta go". LOL

Ok I'll only post "live from everywhere else in the world but the woods" from now on. I was just sharing some excitement. Haven't seen him again but there's always tomorrow while I'm "live from work"

      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!

      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.

      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.

      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

      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!
