Atlasman...blame everything on the DEC. DEC this DEC that.. its not hunterjoe shooting the fawns or hunterjoe killing spikes,, no no its not everybody and there brother killing anything that moves.
No........it's not. You are acting like these guys were shooting those deer while being told that the herd was way down and we should not shoot too many because they wouldn't recover. That's not what they were being told at all. The DEC was feeding everyone the BS of out of control herd numbers and gave out countless tags for everyone to go out and slaughter them. Why would a hunter think he shouldn't pull the trigger if the DEC is telling him that the herd is out of control. Most hunters probably shot MORE then usual trying to do their part to control what they thought was reality..........in fact they were doing damage when they thought they were doing the right thing.
If IF every single person that hunted, practiced QDM, you wouldent need a DEC.
Well they don't........and never will........so we do.
i do blame the DEC for not catching this in time. and the DEC,,there not on top of it
Well which is it??
are you affraid to nock on a door and shake a hand for permition
Already told you I hunt plenty of private land.........you have to actually read the thread if you want to participate.
how can you predict the future of hunting to say it will disappear do to leasing???
The handwriting is on the wall.
look, all im saying is... we have seen these numbers dropping for some time now. we have done something about it knowing there not gunna get any better.Were not gunna relyon some NY department program.we stopped the slotter and started QDM. we were you once complaining about the DEC but we woke up stopped the bickeringand did something aboutit. 3 years now and on our private and leased land our deer numbers are higher than they were when we noticed the numbers dropping. i think you took me the wrong way. im trying to give you advice and this is what i get? im not suprized anymore.
Get hooked on phonics man
