    I called DEC. She kinda talked in circles. Cause it’s confusing the way the tags are written but your only allowed one buck. One tag or the other. You can’t shoot two bucks that’s what I was told by DEC 

    But I said so if I tag it take it the processer. I still have a tag that says I’m legal in the woods.  And she repeated. Sir you can only take one buck. But I think they realize they have a issue with the way the tags are worded.  Once one Is tagged and gone.  She said yes but now you don’t have a bow muzzleloader tag. Do you. Wich you need to use the other.  Hmmmmm. Ok.   It’s confusing but it comes down to. Only one buck. Is sll you can take. You can try it.  But I wouldn’t recommend taking two at the same time

    Read the syllabus. It is good if you don’t fill it during the regular season. You do have to have bow or muzzleloader privilege to hunt.

    No.  One buck is all you get.  Your regular season tag is null and void. Only one tag is legal. If u don’t have a muzzle tag then you you wouldn’t be out there.    Regular season. Ended Sunday

    I was in stsnd last night early heard sticks breaking in a small patch along a ditch line. Through my scope I could see a buck staring in my direction waited an hour. Calling 

     bleats grunts nothing. He wasn’t budging. Tried to put a stalk on him but all open around him he was now on the hill staring in my direction ,nice buck to   Do unable to shoot that far. I knew what he was gonna do. So I backed out got to the hedgerow and started hoofing it to try to get to the end about half way.  As I was to late pop out not one but 3 huge bucks. They never knew I was coming. But I fell short as they stood broadside at about 250 yards staring down my way and trotted across the field.   If only I thought of the hedgerow excape 15 minutes earlier.  But 3 all hiding in a tiny brushy sapling  growth along a ditch line in the middle of a field.   Smart. But I did get almost close enough. No rifle in this area.  First time I was under 150 yards. But he was facing me. No shot and that’s a far shot for 12 gauge   Their out there. Just nobody moving them

    Have to agree. Sat in stand this morning overlooking Field and bedding are behind me. 2 squirrels and that’s it. Zero shots heard. Got down and just walked entire perimeter of property. All sign is they are cutting through swamp from one side of field to the other(which we knew). Seems like every year about this time it changes to right at dusk on the field edges.

    Need another good storm / cold front to get them moving again

    I was just explaining the problems with deer management with my wife yesterday.

     

    Traditional  = Harvest buck regardless of age or rack size and don't shoot doe.

    QDM = Pick and choose which deer gets harvested

    Trophy = Shoot every doe possible and only bucks over 4.5 and sometimes 5.5 years.

     

    These are the ones that are explained in detail but they always leave out the obvious one and that is the Opportunity management style which a hunter has tags and fills them as they can and not as they see fit.

     

    I have all 4 of these scenarios as neighbors.  Deer can move miles so if everyone of the small parcels is doing something different there is a good chance it all evens out.  I am not going to harvest a 2.5 10pt because I am worried the neighbor is going to shoot it.  If I harvest it, it is because I wanted to and not because I want to get it because I am worried one of my neighbors will not let it pass.

    Biggest problem im see is that one land owner with 20 acres will have a group of guys and take out 3 1.5 old bucks and a 2.5 opening am and then go on the rest of the season filling his families tags while 80 percent of us guys that hunt 100 acres and better in the block practice qdma Idk y but some guys have it in their mind that the deer (bucks) just replenish themselves year after year seems to be more enjoyable shooting everything they see walking then enjoying close encounters with nice young looking bucks to each their own like the guys say def a lot of doe sightings daily from stand so it’s not that they are just seeing the bucks and no doe I sometime wish I could be like them and just pile a bunch of bucks up N cut the rack off toss in garage without a quilty conscience but I don’t have it in me also know there will

    never be a mature deer around sorry for my rant just the aftermath of opening weekend lol

    Couldn’t agree more  let him walk last year a young basket 10. And this year I harvested him after passing several smaller bucks  if you let the young bucks walk you get more big bucks better quality and they breed the doe. For more deer. Next year nobody needs 6 deer in the freezer

    Our winters are tough, but I am not sure that affects the WNY bucks as much. There is so much fruit and agriculture here that it’s gotta help them tremendously through the winter. 

    Coyotes are definitely putting a hurt on deer up

    north where I am. All I saw was coyotes and coyote tracks. Nobody getting them up

    there. I do when I can but that’s just a drop

    in the bucket  I seen a pack of 7

    I tried 5 different slugs and had the best groups with the accutips and the hornady.in my case I ended up seeing best results with the remington.

    I have a Winchester semi auto 12 gauge. Tried 5 different slugs starting with Winchester then sabots. A few others then just regular Remington sluggers in the green and yellow box. At first look I thought I only hit the target once outa 3 shots. Till I noticed the wood back was a big hole. So closer examination I put sll 3 in the same hole practically.  How bout that my Winchester loves Remingtons lol. So sluggers it is.
