It all comes down to the property that your boots are on! Trail cameras do tend to prove that there are Giants in this state..... actually seeing them and killing them is a different game. NY bucks are wiser to human presence then other states mentioned IMO. Robs thread this year proved that some guys are seeing a "shooter" every other trip to the woods and others didn't see a single one all season. Me personally it took till November 29th b4 I put my eyes on one and I hunt my balls off for a opportunity at a mature animal. But mature animals arnt even the problem right now its the shear numbers of Whitetails thats the problem. Having to travel to another state to have the opportunity to hunt a healthy deer heard is not the answer here! Having the state pulling there head out of there a$$'s is the answer hands down.

Can't wait to see what they come up with next with all there free time!

Especially if your only fun fishing.... there is no fun in cranking copper. 300's and 400's put plenty of fish in the boat. If your fishing tournaments that's when the big dogs may have there place other than that leave them at the dock.

LMAO! I felt like I was there reading that...... yup its gota happen!

My thoughts and prayers are with him and to a fast recovery!

Great video Lou! The quality is outstanding....... makes me want out there badly!

Well... after all was said and done this morning was a failure. Boat problems kept us from fishing more then 10 mins! Still felt great breaking the pier heads and setting rod's!!

10-4

I have mediums for my inside divers and my slides. They are the cats ass for the slides and do a very good jobs with my 107 fish hawk divers. I wouldn't be too concerned at all.[/quote You run the deeper divers with wire or mono with those rods Scott? If with wire a king doesn't snap that rod in a medium 8 6' ? Seems light for a diver.....

Still haven't decided yet....

Decided we are going to take what mother nature let's us and we are hitting the lake for our first trip of 2016 tomarrow morning!! Can't wait!

Thanks for posting! Everyone who who hunts needs to get involved if proper changes even have a chance and this is our opportunity! I spoke to the DEC officer ( forgot his name) a LOTSA this past weekend for a good while in depth of what is goin on in this state as far as the Whitetail hunting goes. And much to my surprise he was in agreement with just about every concern that I had with the numbers of animals that are walking around. His main response was to get out there and voice our opinions if we don't agree with the numbers and the way the state is going about treating them. One of the biggest problems in my area and probably in most others too is the shear number of nucence permits that are issued to the farmers. He agreed that us hunters don't stand a chance in trying to keep Whitetails around for hunters to enjoy when farmers are massacring them. Not to mention the fact that the ones who hold these permits can shoot the deer and just leave them to rot!! This happens everywhere that there is agriculture around so don't be fooled! Get out there and voice your opinion!
