  1. Ok ......without looking up regulations in DEC handbook see how you would answer these.
  2. 6). You just downed a beauty of a buck. Excited, you pull out your cell phone and immediately start snapping pictures of your buck to send them to your buddies. After receiving your texts, your buddy shows up to the kill sight and shares in the celebration with backslapping and more pictures. Next, you pull out your hunting knife, gut the deer and fill out the tag. You place the tag securely on the buck's leg with a zip tie. ARE YOU LEGAL?
  3. 5). You just bought a new Gore-Tex jacket. Unfortunately, the jacket did not come with rivets to put your backtag thru. Not wanting to put a hole in your new jacket, you decide to pin it to your backpack. LEGAL?
  4. 4). Luck has found you. After knocking on some farmer's doors, you have secured permission to hunt a farm loaded with deer. The farmer is not one for words and merely muttered "you can hunt the farm." On your first hunt on the farm you are on your way out to the hardwood block out back. As you pass the last barn building you are surprised to see a nice shooter buck standing broadside in the middle of a field 100 yards away. A chip shot. You take a knee, take a deep breath and pull the trigger slowly on the end of your exhale position. The buck drops in its tracks. ARE YOU LEGAL?
  5. 3). You have been scouting squirrels in an area near Rochester where hunting is legal. You have tagged out opening day of deer gun season but you want to still spend time in the woods so Thanksgiving morning you decide to take your .22 rimfire in the woods to get some squirrels for the stew pot. ARE YOU LEGAL?
  6. 2). You have decided you don't want to risk spooking a buck on opening day of gun season. Your plan is to take both your gun and bow into your stand with the idea of quietly shooting any does that come by with an arrow while having the security of having the gun handy if a buck comes by. ARE YOU LEGAL?
  7. 1). You pull up to your hunting lease land. You look across a field and see a nice buck standing broadside 100 yards away tending a doe. You decide he is a shooter. You pull your car over off on the shoulder of the road and turn it off. Quiet as possible you slide out of the car, open the back door to access your gun. You remove the gun from it's case, load it, and take 10 steps 90 degrees away from the road towards the deer. You take a knee and are shocked to find the deer is still standing there. You squeeze the trigger and watch the buck take it's death march dying within sight. WERE YOU LEGAL?
  8. Shoot that som beotch!!!! Oops. Comment was for "blade buck"
  9. Fort Niagara launch is $8.00. Youngstown launch is free unless they changed something.
  10. Leave your gut piles near his stand.
  11. Put a couple of scare crows out in the field in range of his stand. Use stinky old teeshirts.
  12. I will let you know when I find one hehe. Been on a bender lately, putting my bow tags on scrub bucks the last three years. I have been enjoying the young venison immensely. I need a twelve step intervention program to get me back on track with shooting mature deer. Maybe when the kids head off to college I will have the time to devote again.
  13. ........that deer wouldn't make 120" even if you used my brother's tape measure. Looks 109-112"....probably 2.5 years old? Two or three more years of cooking needed.
  14. Yes I have run the small sized ones in spring along shore and the coho liked them.
  15. Nice. Thanks for sharing.
  16. Nice!!!!
  17. Those people in pics maybe happy but it might be all they know. Like a trib snagger that one day catches a king on a wire diver. Epiphany. I would feel cheated out of the chess match if I hunted penned deer. I made it a point of emphasis to hunt state land. I love the challenge. No bait. No trail cams. Just what is behind the ears and instinct.
  18. Licking branches are their cell phones. Last three bucks I have taken with bow have come off the same licking tree.
  19. Jerry I know you have been known for high level excitation at the back of the boat but you must have a serious case of buck-sighting fever because all I see are a pile of apples. If there was a deer in the picture it's size would be difficult to gauge due bloating from apple gas
  20. I would name it the "Scott Norwood Buck" with the single bar face mask and being a little "off" on the right side.
  21. Brian, I was thinking the same thing. Using more "efficient" less labor intensive 2 year old King sperm may increase fertilization rates and therefore less work for hatchery workers BUT is a horrible idea for the genetic well being of the species going forward. Their methods are artificially selecting for two year old spawners to pass on their genes instead of the biggest and strongest. We got one hatchery.........get it right!!
  22. Go to the only light in town and take the road that takes you down to the yacht club and marina
  23. Jig tipped with minnow, jig with gulp, skein under a float, large vibrax spinner, hot'N'tots
