no your not you are just concerned about haveing things your way (your the it's my-way or the hi-way guy and dam you all if you don't like it).  All you like to do is argue with someone not debate then if they box you in you go on the person attack. All I was stating was is that we need to be aware of what’s going to happen Jan 1st it was not a statement for or against AR’s.

I never said that.. you did. Doesn't matter to me what the DEC comes up with... my standards are way higher than anything they have or would impose anyway. I have never complained about not seeing  enough deer or not seeing enough big bucks... I also don't complain about getting skunked as some guys put it...If NYS decides on an AR or not makes absolutely no diffence in my hunting experience what so ever. I couldn't care less who kills what... I just have an opinion on the subject thats all. If you enjoy killing small bucks, then thats what you ought to do.  I'm NOT even for a point based AR... read my past comments. I think we had this discussion before Larry about you not paying attention

First this thread is on AR’s until guys like you hi-jacked it to state what you think deer hunting should be in this state according to you. And to beat up on others who don’t agree with you.

If you would have read my post after 16gahunter it was not for or against AR’s it’s about what one of the most liberal Governors we have had will do to the DEC and deer management

I guess you right I don’t understand I don’t see anything in any of my post about not seeing deer

Just to let you know I typed real slow to make it easier on you

You last post was gibberish or was it just a rant.

Who's worrying about AR's... I'm more concerned about herd management...

I assume from the title and content of this topic that ARs are involved in this discussion a little bit.  I'm pretty sure that's what we have been discussing.

Nice use of punctuation. A+++! It's just like your math calculations on decrease of percentages...

Stop hijacking this thread with your garbage.

are you a teacher caus u spelling aint so good nether i try not use big words so u can understand.

I don’t think being concerned about what the new governor has in mind for the DEC is garbage. it may be off topic.

I can lower my vocabulary down to your level to trade insults if you want you sanctimonious a##.

As usual any discussion soon turns into pissing match that strays off topic.

PA has had AR for eight years. The results speak for themselves. The percent of the antlered harvest that is comprised of 2½ year old or older deer as gone from 20% prior to AR to 48% in 2008.

Higrading of buck in MS. ? Recent data shows an increase in buck in the age class, 3½ years old or older, with less than 8 points, MS has an 8 point minimum AR. However tools are in the works to correct this problem, sub-4-point (“any buck”) tags. As it is now, 60% of buck harvested in MS reach 3½ years old.

WOW...Thehunter can cut and paste...there is a pattern there. He does it with any argument he is trying to make as well. Maybe just try one original thought...come on...it won't hurt...I promise

Your another winner...  The only thing I copy and pasted were facts.  Ones you can't understand or comprehend, pretty sad.

Yup, more facts these guys can't seem to understand.

And good facts they are..the MS.. AR is kickin' butt. Even though I'm not a fan of point restrictions necessarily.. I guess if you're gonna have them 4 on a side protects the young bucks much better than 3 on a side. The proof is in the putting... or is that puting... whatever

      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!

      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!

      We will be publishing the new list of available hunting leases on Monday, March 2, 2020 at 7:30 AM on our website www.cottonhanlon.com 
      Cotton-Hanlon is a private timber company that owns land in NY and PA (sorry all our land in PA is currently leased). We have been leasing land since the fall of 1970. You will be dealing directly with the us, no third parties.
      Still working on the list but it looks like we'll have woodlots available in the following counties in NY: Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Oswego, Schuyler, Tioga and Tompkins.
      Make sure to check it out first thing that morning for the best choices.
      Thanks, Bob

      Wondering if anyone has an extra DMP tag for 4W. 
      Long shot I know and would be happy to get a 1C to exchange. Or trade my turkey tag. Wasn't sure where I would be hunting and never got a deer yet.
