the mid west has big bucks because their seasons allow for them to grow. our gun season is way too long here in ny and if you pair that with the hunting pressure here its a recipe for mature buck disaster. There should be a very long bow season and extremely short gun season and only allow 1 buck not matter if you shoot it during gun season or bow season. That would allow more bucks to survive every year meaning more mature bucks for us to hunt. Do i think we will ever grow 200 plus inch deer regularly in ny no but 150s to 180s should be possible
I bought mine from Augies gun shop on ridge rd and rt 259. Little small building right next to the dealership. I haven't been to him in 2 yrs so he may be out of business Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'll call anyone out who doesn't obey the law I don't care who they are. I passed up a shot at a good buck Sunday night cause it was past shooting light. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Only 1 small doe showed herself tonight. I would say it was too warm hopefully the next couple of days will be better with the cold temps coming

Well set up on a group of does to fill my tag for the area. Had a small doe come out around 3:30 watched her for 15 mins then back in the woods it went. Nothing else for the rest of the night so at 4:35 I got up and went to leave. I looked in the back corner of the field and they were all back there probably 250 yrds away. As I'm watching them and figuring a plan for tomorrow night with the smoke pole out come a nice buck. I ended up creeping to the corner and probably could of gotten into range of him but it was already past shooting time. I made a plan to get close to where he came out and backed out. Hopefully with luck I didn't bump him and I'll get a shot. That was the onl buck I saw all of gun season

set up on a winter wheat field trying to fill the 1 doe tag I have for this area. They were here last night when I drove by. Hopefully the snow doesn't keep them down
