RE: NY opening day, how'd ya do..?
Me personally, I Did not fill my tag - I passed 2 scrubby bucks - and saw more does and fawns than I saw all bow season. The snow (up to an honest 1 ft) - really brought the deer to the corn. 7M - no doe permits here. But with the numbers of does I've seen the 1st week - I'll feel good taking one with the Black powder at the end of the season if given the chance.
Our group took 3 bucks, all 4 points - andotherspassed5 small bucks - we hunt 200 acres. The neighbors tooka couple - I know of 2 different 8 points taken on the land tha borders us - and heard some other very close shots -
Good luck - the season's just getting good if you still have a tag!
