Anybody else get out for the early doe season? I filled a 7J tag this evening on a small doe. What I thought was interesting was that as soon as I reported the harvest on the app, my 2nd buck tag and another 7J tag appeared instantly. NY is serious about decreasing the deer population, where it is needed. Good luck to all you hunters; be safe, and post up your hunting stories this season. |

Hunting seasons now account for a full third of the year. I understand that there are fewer hunters now but it makes it tough for the rest of us who want to be out in the woods that part of the year |

They have done everything they can to not only increase the take of deer but make it stupidly easy to cheat the system(aka printing a dozen copies of your license). One of those things happening would tell me they MIGHT check here and there just to kep the outlaws somewhat honest. Both of those things happening tells me they(NYS and DEC) are getting hammered by insurance companies to somehow lower the amount of deer hit claims in this state and to that end they are doing whatever it takes to make that happen. |
