Calling all NY ML hunters... What's your position?

Unless you live with your head in the sand you have heard by now the proposed changes in NY's So zone deer season (splitting the bow season with a week of doe only ML).

Is there anyone on this thread with an opinion pro or con? The bowhunters (as a group) are grumbling quite loudly so what's up with the pure MLers?

I like the idea. My two brothers are bowhunters. When I pulled out the proposals for next year and tossed them on the table at camp, you should have heard the whining. mad.gif The three of us hunt the regular season with our muzzleloaders. I'll bet you next Oct 15 the three of us will be heading into the woods with our T/C's and all the whining will cease. grin.gif

Up here in the northern tier we have had an early ML season for years. Lately the DEC has said it had to be doe only but I know many people who squirrel bucks out of the woods. You will have the same problem in the southern tier.

Our early ML is the week before rifle season and I do not see any disruption in the deer movement. I think you could do the same in the southern tier.

Third, with deer number way down in certain areas I do not believe this is necessary. HEY! I got an idea. If you want to lower the doe count why don't you make bow season doe only wink.gifgrin.gif OOOO did I just type that?? grin.gif

I like the idea....too a certain extent. There could be alot of does harvested ruining our deer herd, I would like the season just to get out there tho. I wonder if we can use both tags during this time, if we can i think this is a bad idea
