Yeah quit ganging up on me would ya...just kiddding. I hope I am not offending either of you. I find it interesting to see other peoples point of view. I have not suggested that the DEC ban gun hunting. I actually go out with my shotgun and muzzleloader still. I just find archery hunting much more fun.
Like I have said before everyone is out there hunting for different reasons and none of them are wrong. If you shoose to take teh first legal deer you see thats great. If I choose to wait on what I consider a mature buck, thats my choice. And yes I go plenty of years without getting a buck. But I do get a doe the first week of archery almost every year for the freezer...
