GWSmith Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: NewYork has NEW big game season dates Ruth, Scroll down the page and look at the dates to the left of that Map. I'll still be hunting 2 weeks ahead of you guys up here in 6K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: NewYork has NEW big game season dates Ok, I see it. The map wouldn't load for me yesterday,lol. I'm so happy archery starts on a Saturday this year because if I'm back in college doing a 40 minute commute each way, come fall, I'd hate to miss the first day:-P I'm pumped already for squirrel season to start!

Guest HaDeRonDa Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: NewYork has NEW big game season dates Thanks Adam. I need to pay attention to this now and get in touch with GWSmith again about hunting this fall especially seeing that next week we are making the move to NY. Say goodbye to PA and Hello Central NY!!! Time to work out the work schedule and the free time now. Gary, please expect a PM soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: NewYork has NEW big game season dates I see that they are starting the bow opener for the Southern zone on the 14th this year instead of the traditional 15th opener? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBUCK Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: NewYork has NEW big game season dates So much for the October 1st opener in the southern teir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: NewYork has NEW big game season dates [ QUOTE ] So much for the October 1st opener in the southern teir. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah I was kind of hoping for that too But atleast bowhunters did not lose ANY days, they gained them. Thats a good thing. Also with the saturday opener, the youths can get in the woods not only on opening day, but have to 2 days to hunt too! I think this will increase youth participation and that is something our sport needs. Propagation of the Sportsmen New blood. I have not read anything yet on DEC's site about a early muzzleloading season, like what was under consideration last year. Anyone hear anything about that?
