Default RE: NY deer season is over(except LI)

Ok let me tell you the whole hunting season and what kind of land we hunt on.

First not full of it at all

I hunt on one produce farm and one apple orchard, every year the tracks of land get nuisance permits,(last year they started shooting deer on the apple farm in Jan and ended on May 5th, and were shooting deer in July to end of Sep at the produce farm) so for the regular season DEC gives the apple farm 20 doe tags to fill, and also gives the produce farm 20 tags, one hunter can only fill 2 tags on each farm (this is where we do our meat hunting). Also on top of that we can fill out archery/ML tags if we would like (during the Archery/ML season), I also hunt in a bow only DMU that allows you to fill doe tag after doe tag, (for every doe tag you fill you get a bonus tag).

These situations do allow for lots of deer to be shot, we give away about every other deer to the local food banks so I would not call us PIGS (marlin30/30_drabe ).

I will say this with the # of deer shot in the off season you are lucky to see a 2 1/2 year old buck, but you can see 50 does a day if your in the right spot.

any other questions feel free to ask.
