I have probably shot deer after and before legal shooting light but I am much more conscious of it now, and I make every effort to respect and obey all game laws. However many guys I know dont, they shoot deer w/ rifles in restricted zones and even out of season, I dont like it but I dont condem them either ,cause at least the deer is not wasted on the side of the road or eaten alive by yotes, but the crap I just cant tolerate is guys wack'n as many as 6 bucks in a season when your only allowed 2 legally. Im not a cop, so Im not tell guys how to hunt, but for crying out loud, take your fair share and leave some us legal hunters!
You're pissed that guys shoot 6 bucks in a season, but not pissed when they shoot a deer out of season or where they're not supposed to? And to think that the deer is going to get eaten alive by coyotes is completely asinine.
You dont seem to get the point of what Im saying but since you were so polite, Ill explain it to you.
Like I said in my last post
,"I dont like it" but Im not a law enforcement officer for the NYDEC so Im not going to tell guys how to kill thier deer,they have their own conscience to deal w/, just as long they take their fair share and leave some for the rest of us,is all Im gonna concern myself w/.
As to thinking coyotes dont take down deer, thats whats "asinine". I see them running deer where I hunt, all the time and theres alot of car crippled deer around here,you dont think the yotes can take those deer down? Of course they can and do! yotes also dont kill their prey before they eat it either, like a cougar, when its down, they start munching. All im saying is, although I despise poaching, Id rather see a deer taken w/ a rifle in a slug zone , or even out of season, than dying that way, or rotting in some road dept. landfill somewhere.
