Guest Squirrelbuster Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: NY gun opener I definately can't wait until tomorrow. My car is packed and I am sitting in school right now waiting to get out to go meet my Uncle up at camp where we will be hunting tommorow. Tonight is going to be a sleepless night most likely.

Turkeygirl Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Re: NY gun opener Can't wait! I've had 3 close encounters with a nice buck or bucks. Now is the time....I'm praying this is the year the Lord blesses me with a really nice buck:-) Of course all deer are trophies and I'm happy with what I get, but I'm tired of this buck taunting me,lol!

Doc Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: NY gun opener So, how did the Saturday opener effect hunter numbers in your area? Were there gobs and gobs of additional hunters out there because of the weekend opener? Here in my little chunk of 8N, there definitely was a significantly higher number of hunters. I got to check out a couple of local state land parking lots and there were more cars than I have seen in at least a decade. However, this didn't translate into more shooting. It was downright quiet, especially when you consider that most of those hunters had two permits. I'm sure in the WMUs where permits were significantly cut, you all probably didn't see that many extra hunters due to the weekend opener. My guess would be that the quantity of permits probably trumps the Saturday opener in terms of hunter participation. However that's just a guess. How about you guys that actually hunt in those areas ..... What do you think? What did you see? Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckNrut Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: NY gun opener The spots I hunt are fairly well "locked up" so we saw the same people as in past years. I would say the Saturday opener had "no effect" for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: NY gun opener The Saturday opener was no different for me. I actually saw less people than I normally do. I did see about 40 deer on opening day here in 7M. I could have killed about 20 does if they allowed doe permits in my DMU. I let a spike horn pass my watch and grazed a little belly hair off a rack buck. I will see him again later this week I hope. Tons of deer and less people. That's the report from my neck of the woods. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
