I'm going to do my part by filling every doe tag I get, as soon as I can.

I only drew one dmp AGAIN - 5years in a row - for 7J.
High prob 1st - med 2nd.
I am one of the few I know willing to take all the does I can legally - and my area needs it.

Yet several I know will not shoot one at all and draw 2 every year.

We've been hammered with nuisence permits around me there's no way I'll tag out...there useta be alot more deer around my house.

Drive to LI...LOL walk behind my house and the block is 4000 acre's I don't think I'll be driving clear across the state,I'd drive to Ohio before I did that

belly aching ???? I guess so but it doesn't have anything to do with hunting in peoples back yards

I'll go up for the northern opener since we have 4 days to fill last yrs tags and spots are just aim points during that time frame but as it gets closer to the rut I'll most likely pass on doe's hopefully already having shot 1

good luck everybody

Hey Tom, can I go with you? :D

SteveB · August 20, 2008, 09:18:00 AM

Tom,

That is one of my few complaints - the current DMU's are too large for the most part for effective local management.

But I understand the difficulty as well in going to smaller units.

Good luck up north!

I never could see the so called "problem" with "set" season dates.....

I never could understand why we don't have a 3 month deer season either.....

"STATE WIDE"

October 1st to 31st - Bow

November 1st to 30th - Gun

December 1st to 31st - Late Bow/Muzzleloader

Simple as can be,Sounds like a winner to me!!!!!

Alot of people don't follow what going on behind the closed doors. If you go to the NYSCCC meetings you may be surprised at what is put on the table. And yes there is talk of a early season black powder hunt before the southern zone archery season. Whenever there is a change that affects people I know ( that are not NYB members ) I get phone calls asking if I knew this was coming. The DEC had agreed to starting the southern zone archery season the Saturday before Columbus Day for us giving up the weekend before the traditional gun opener. Then the DEC through us a curve ball and changed the opener to the Saturday after Colombus Day. If you want to be informed on changes to bowhunting in NY you can join NYB and you can make a difference.

I was a NYB member several of the past 6 years.
I never knew of anything going on or recieved any info other that contained in the quarterly newsletter - most of which is old news by press time. There is no timely info sharing or 2 way communication that I ever saw.

Just my experiance.
