BuckNrut Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 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?

str8shooter48 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Re: Calling all NY ML hunters... What\'s your position? 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. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: Calling all NY ML hunters... What\'s your position? If it as not a antlerless only season, I would like the idea. But it is not!!!! I will be really upset if I am hunting a buck the first two weeks and he is spooked by the muzzleloaders, never to be seen again!!!!

RangerClay Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: Calling all NY ML hunters... What\'s your position? 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 OOOO did I just type that?? Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaHunter Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Re: Calling all NY ML hunters... What\'s your position? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf5347 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Re: Calling all NY ML hunters... What\'s your posit I think it about time to have an early m/l season in the southern zone,hey what about a week of real traditional like followed by flinter season only either sex.That would be super,really drive bow hunters crazy,just kidding, I am a x bowhunter ,must of put 35 years into bow hunting .but can no longer draw a bow because of bad cervical disk in my neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBUCK Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Calling all NY ML hunters... What\'s your position? Hey I got a better one, why doesn't NY cut the gun seasons, both North and South in half. Gun season is way to long !!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
