Why is that? It a great time to take does out ,granted most big bucks are tough to get at this time, but I've seen it done. Deer are on their bed - feed patterns it's not like their not there. I've seen quite a few pictures on this site of some preety darn nice deer being shot in this two week armed scouting period.

It's also more time to introduce kids to the sport. If they do lower the bow age it will give these kids a great oppurtunity to be in the woods and experience the sport.

So you don't want early or a late seasons extended and the MZ should take some late season cause it's not really the time you don't want to be in the woods.]

Steve are you affilated with the NY bow association?

I think the the NYB is being unresonible and has a me, me me attitude that is going to tick off the gun hunters and eventually it will cost us.
