One Thing I Don't Want Around My Stand!!

I assume it's his kid maybe having a paintball party while they were off from school on Columbus Day? Oh boy....

This explains a lot about the piebald deer you've been seeing!?!

I wonder how the various parcels of state land have escaped this sort of thing. I'm not talking about an occasional neighbor kid or two. I mean organized paintball events. It's certainly not illegal. And the mood that the DEC is in these days, I'm surprised they are not inviting this kind of participation on state lands. They seem to be in a mode of encouraging all kinds of non-hunting uses of state lands. After all, they have no problems with the big mountain bike clubs hacking a maze of trails and painting trees.

Ha-ha.... that will be the next thing. We'll be in our stands surrounded by paint-ball armies ..... lol. They can join in with the hikers and bikers.

And by the way, anyone who thinks that such intensive activity doesn't effect deer behavior, doesn't really understand deer behavior very well.

Actually it is illegal

ee. On State lands, no person shall sponsor, conduct or participate in: advertising, weddings, commercial film making activities or film making activities that exclude other public use of the area, and other similar events, except under permit from the department.

Wow that's a surprise! They actually singled out paint-ball activities. Well from my standpoint that is some great news.
