With all the hunting stories on the threads, PT who cannot go out and hunt yet seems to be losing the last bit of his sanity. Therefore, I petition that we all stop hunting until his season in New York opens. I further submit that we still need to duty our duty by continuing to scout and watch for deer in our areas.

For safety reasons, while scouting/watching deer, you need to remember the following:
1. If watching from an elevated stand, wear a safety harness;
2. For personal safety always go armed with a bow when entering your areas you are scouting; &
3. If you see any deer who might be carrying disease/parasites, you should remove these deer for public health reasons. By performing this public service, you will NOT be "hunting". These deer can be identified by the following:
a. They will have their eyes open really wide; and
b. They will be standing on all 4 legs.

If everyone follows these rules, PT will have serenity knowing that we are not out there hunting before him and we all can show him how much we respect him.
