growalot Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) What are you calling poaching? The hour shot or the fact the feeders were used as bait...BTW...they actually sell cameras specially to catch birds feeding...though this wasn't that ...The thing is each and everyone of "you" that thinks 5 mins before or after isn't poaching ...well your only lying to your self...here's why...a deer can travel a good ways in 5 mins so you shooting that deer before the legal time poached that deer from the guy/guys within a 5 min deer walk or trot from your location, getting that deer legally... I have a feeling this place is sick with poachers....hhhhmmmmm That 5 mins was to a post some days ago made ...in regards to .."I know what I would do" # of mins. is moot Edited December 5, 2017 by growalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVal Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 This stuff happens all the time, I bet some people on this site have baited, shot before or after legal light, not tagged, etc. It's ridiculous the punishment that is given.

Adkhunter1590 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Bunch of self righteous wanna be punishers on hereMight as well lock this one up and throw away the keys. More people bait than probably anyone on here can imagine. Anyone who thinks it’s going to stop anytime soon is a fool. And anyone thinking these people will become labeled as felons because of it are clueless to this little thing called reality. I have deer come and eat the corn I put out for my chickens once and awhile if there’s any left, I guess I should be stripped of all my rights and thrown in jail for 25 years now right?

Adkhunter1590 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Come to think of it. I might just get a life sentence. I have close to a thousand pounds of corn in my shed...just having corn around must be illegal if I’m a hunter right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I have one question, why is it so bad to shoot a deer at 6:45 in the morning when sunrise was 7:17, but not an issue when i shoot the coyote chasing that deer? What is the difference beside the "legal" aspect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules are in place for a reason dude! Has nothing to do With being self righteous . Rules are there to ensure the deer arent slaughtered off. If everyone is allowed to break the law then there is no reason to have them. Being an adult means you do whats right without being told to do it. Children do what they want and they gey punished . So either act like a adult or punished like a child your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t dispute what’s legal and what’s not. I was being sarcastic about the people on here wanting guys locked away for 25 to life for a bucket of corn. I personally think it’s stupid for baiting to be illegal but I also don’t argue the fines imposed on those who are caught. The punishment that’s in place currently I feel is sufficient, unlike others who think such a small crime should constitute loss of license for life. Like come on get real. There’s also a big difference in baiting and poaching, I think some here have blurred the line between the two. While I don’t see baiting as a problem, I don’t agree with poaching deer out of season, at night or from a truck. O and what’s this about deer being slaughtered off? Don’t tell me that’s your reasoning why baiting should be illegal lmao🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adkhunter1590 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 check out this genius baiting on trail cam and posting a youtube video saying NY.Browse through Craigslist sometime and check out all the people selling used feeders. They will post pics of them using it in their back yard! Also quite a few parcels of land for sale that advertise “good hunting” and have trail cam pics for evidence of that and those pics quite often have feeders in them. I’m tellin ya, it’s WAY more common than you’d imagine. Which leads me to my opinion that it’s a stupid law because if there were any adverse effects from baiting on deer health, we’d sure as hell know about it by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effect is instead of having deer spread out over the landscape like there suppose to you have have them only in the back yards of these poachers . And good luck trying to hunt the neighboring state land or property . Near by . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadhunter25 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I mainly bowhunt westchester but have a spot in fairfield county as well where baiting is allowed. I can assure you it is not as easy as it seems to shoot a deer over bait. If it were, the deer population wouldnt be so damn high over there. Deer condition themselves to come in the downwind of the downwind side and make circles before coming to the bait and/or come solely at night. I have found once the whites and reds drop, I have seen deer walk right by the bait and go to acorns. Im not saying I agree with NYS laws, but it is a law in NY and therefore we need to follow it. Baiting allows you to add a food that deer normally wouldnt have access too, and it does increase your odds. But its not a slam dunk home run.

Your right but then there are those that say it is not" fair chase " hunting It is the same reason a lot of hunters will not hunt in fenced game preserves. They want to hunt the deer in its, natural habitat. Not a artificial one. Plus makes it easier for the deer to spread diseases to each other is the other reason .

Almost every Midwest state has legal baiting, and they shoot record book deer every year. So if it wasn’t considered “fair chase” how do you explain the record books being full of deer? High fence and baiting are two very different things. One is allowed in the record books and the other isn’t, so I guess you could say it’s a pretty cut and dry argument over what is considered “fair chase”. My acres of food plots has changed the natural habitat, what’s the difference? The spreading of diseases is going to happen with or without the bait. Deer are constantly up on each other.

My parents own 30 acres, so I’m sure I could get away with it but I would feel pathetic shooting a deer illegally. Let alone posting pics of it or getting it mounted. Illegal is lllegal. Might as well shoot one on Sept 30th instead of 10/1. Or why the draw the line there? What about 9/15?

G-Man Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Actually bird feeders can be a big headache.. If you have a bear come in and take it down and put it back up . you can be fined for baiting bear..Same would be true for deer.. The regs even discourage you from feeding the birds..

Not my law I just fallow them . In this state you fallow there laws . And the thing with the record book deer take it with a grain of salt . You can never know for sure how or where those deer got shot . I forgot the name of the guy but he had a bunch of record bucks that later was found out to be high fence farm rased deer and even deer he altered the racks of .:) Edited December 6, 2017 by Storm914 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
