That's what they said at Walmart in Greece. I still don't believe it. I live in 8c and up till now they have replaced any verified 8c doe kill with a bonus tag for as long as I've lived here. Going to the town hall for my tags as well as my daughter on Wednesday. Last year the roads around 8c had more deer/auto hits per mile than any other dmu. Curious to see if it's really the deal.

So my kid needed to renew his license so he could goose hunt in the am. Supposedly no 8c doe tags to be issued?????

I'd be inside. 60 to 80 early and wouldn't get deeper than 150. Big kings aren't looking for bait or paying too much attention to temp right now.
Hitting more out of aggression than hunger. Staging up.

Pretty cool stuff. Always a couple of special fish caught every year that we hear about on this site. That is definitely one of those fish, the kind you think about at night when you can't sleep or after days or weeks of tough fishing. Great job, would love to hear the story of the catch as well as what the angler chose to do with the fish.
Gambler, how old would that fish be?
I'm saying 50.

Seeing a lot around. Normally don't target them in the early season but as a result of the new deer regs in the area I hunt I think I'm going to hit it hard early.

Pretty sure 8c dmp's are still renewed upon harvest confirmation at Avon. If so I'm going to help out a lot of friends in the first two weeks.

This reg was tabled some time ago and I heard about it, but I didn't think it would be pushed through so quickly. I still don't get it.
Tags issued and antler restrictions affect harvest more so than limiting time in the field.
I wonder how many more year and a half bucks are killed opening day of gun compared to the first few weeks of bow.
If visits to my processor are any indication the early bow season is slow.

I live in 8c and hunt it primarily as well as 8A. As recently as two years ago when you harvested a doe with a 8C DMP, if you brought the head to the DEC in Avon, they replaced your tag with an EITHER fun loving tag. 8c is loaded with deer but now they are concerned with numbers???? 8c is bow only and it's ridiculous that the restrictions apply to the area.

Looks like it was a pretty good day. Should be an interesting day tomorrow. Being stuck working all weekend I'm looking forward to see how it all shakes out. Good luck to all.
