I would say he is riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight about 17 yards


How cool would it be to have a passthrough stick in your broadhead target []

Not with a weapon it isn't. It's illegal to hunt outside of legal hunting hours.Try this and see what happens.Walk out of the woods after sundown and unload your gun hena DEC officer is standing there. Or load your gun before sunrise while one is standing there, you'll find out about the law.

I already tried to tell him that Charlie...........but as he said.....he "knows the law"




I guess he thinks that you can sit in a tree in the middle of January with a gun full of slugs and the DEC won't mind as long as you don't shoot anything

The only thing more surprising (and sad) then how many people that don't know the hunting laws..........is how many people that don't know the hunting laws but THINK they do.

Nice buck.
. To hunt—means to pursue, shoot, kill or capture (other than trap) wildlife and includes all lesser acts that disturb or worry wildlife whether or not they result in taking. Hunting also includes all acts to assist another person in taking wildlife.

If your in the woods with a weapon your hunting wether you shoot or not.

Carry a few deer slugs with you when your Turkey hunting in the fall,then try and tell the DEC officer you were'nt hunting deer out of season.

LOL
I find it hillarious that this whole loaded gun & hunting hours comment is being beaten to death when I haven't even addressedor attempted to defend it (which I won't). I readily admit I never finished my thought on that OFF Topic comment. It was used as a feable attempt to defend illegal activity by atlasman, and I finished the post prematurely, and if given the chance to respond; I readily admit I failed to word it properly. I DO know the law; thank you.
My point has been from the beginning; That it is never "right" to break the law; Regardless of ones intentions. By definition; breaking the law is ALWAYS wrong. If I find a crippled / wounded Doe in the woods and dispatch her to end her suffering - Many (myself included) would say it was the right thing to do; However, its STILL Illegal and therefore wrong. Few would fault me for it, but its still wrong. Do you understand what I'm getting at?
Atlas (whether supposedly joking or not) tried to defend breaking the law and that he "was" doing the right thing. The tone of his posts have certainly changed since then. These deer are now not the vicious shrub destroying beasts at $2,000 / year that he initially portrayed them as. My opinions started when he denied specificallyfeeding the deer. Personally I find the whole situation sad, and see little difference between these "pets" and the ones raised behind high fenses - both are pathetic excuses for wild game and are primarily dependent on human handouts.
Fact, He's breaking the law
Fact, he lied about it (joking or otherwise)
Fact, he tried to defend it
As I said before, if he admitted what he was doing was wrong and owned it from the beginning, this post would be very different. Posting pictures of illegal activity simply makes light of the law and says what he's doing is ok.
Thats my opinion.

My final thought on this is, Yes, maybe I am too much of stickler on the law; But I feel entirely WAY TOO many people feel its ok to pick & choose which laws they should follow and which ones not to. Or many feel its ok to interpret and twist the law into something its not meant to mean. This "fault" of mine probably comes from my work; however, when someone posts illegal activity in the public view, it sends a message that its OK. And thats something I take issue with. I'll admit I break the law too; but I know its wrong and have no excuse for it; so I certainly can't defend it. (hence, the reasonfor themany "lesser degrees" of each law.)

atlasman makes his own laws damnit man!!! He is above you mere mortals and your silly laws #$%^$@^

Feeding deer is legal in his yard even if its in NY, and he's not hunting them which makes it okay you dumb $h!ts!!(just kidding about the dumb$h!ts lol) Hell, I wish he would come down to my place and help me feed my animals every morning, thenI could sit back and take some cool pictures too and think about ways to capturedeer antlers in antler traps.

It's not legal,but it's done routinely. Heck I turned in a guy with a feeder in a field that had three stands around it and he didn't get a ticket.

There's a house I go by on the way to where I hunt the other day the had about 70 Turkey in the yard and about 8 deer. I talked tothe DEC about it their answer we really can't do anything about it.

With how smart you appear to be I'm shocked you couldn't tell he was kidding. It was rather obvious.

One difference, these deer aren't hunted.

Then why would you write that it is legal to sit in your stand any time you want as long as you don't shoot anything???


Not many people here would disagree with that..........maybe if you knew more about everyone BEFORE you blasted them with accusations and insults you would have found that out.


#1.......I don't have to nor was I trying to defend anything to you. I have showed pics like these for years and always acknowledged that I know NY's stance on feeding deer. You coming in half way through the movie is not my fault and I don't feel the need to bring you up to speed on everything that has happened until this point.

#2.......I AM doing the right thing.



You must be having trouble comprehending the thread because I never said that.


Like I said 10 times already..........I have already stated multiple times over multiple years that I am fully aware of what I am doing. I was having some fun with you because you were a new guy who didn't know anything.......obviously you took me literally and I can't help that. The very last thread I posted pics in someone said it was illegal to feed deer in NY and my reply was a matter of fact "I know" Do a search if you don't believe me.

No one could be so dense that they would think someone would post pictures of deer eating and then say they weren't feeding them. Your sense of humor can't possibly be that dry (I hope).



Big difference is these deer are not hunted and they are in this situation because of ever shrinking habitat..........besides these deer are not primarily dependent on human handouts.......once again you assume to know things that you don't.


You must be kidding...........calling someone a liar is about as classless as it gets. Especially when you have no idea what you are talking about. I have ALWAYS been open and up front about what is contained in my pictures from my yard. Your attempts to paint me as a liar because I was having a little fun with you are pretty pathetic.


You are beyond clueless.


Already did that multiple times for years now...........not my fault you showed up late to the party.

So you are telling everyone here that you have never went over the speed limit.......never jaywalked.......never rolled through a stop sign.......never walked into the woods with a weapon until after legal shooting time has started........never stayed in your stand even one minute after legal shooting hours ended????

If you have done any of those things above please tell us how your "picking and choosing" is somehow different or better then anyone else??
