RE: Northern , NY fawns or lack of ..
I've seen a decent amount of fawns around this yr. in my area. Seen more fawns than ever in my southern tier area. My cameras there have been loaded with fawn pics.
Troutman, I couldn't agree more on the Northern season. Archery is way too short, and rifle is way too long in my opinion. Plus now that they issue doe permits in some northern areas, the population seems way down. With the winter kills we get up here, I don't get their permit reasons. I'd love to see a earlier archery opener in the north, as it stands right now you get 1 full wknd of archery on the new license, the 2nd wknd is mixed with muzzleloaders. I've been in areas when thats been a little scary. I never understood mixing guns & bows.
Open northern archery like 9/15, even if it was a wk of anterless only. Close archery 2nd or 3rd wknd Oct. and give the muzzleloaders a lone 14 days. Open Reg rifle season 11/1, same dayDMP's are legal to use. Its seems so simple to do.
