Last chance NYers
Who's counting on some last minute luck to get it done with their rifle or shotgun tomorrow? I'm going to still hunt, and cover as much ground as possible. Hopefully the snow should get them moving.
I am still gonna be picky though, I'm only gonna shoot brown or black animals over 60#

RE: Last chance NYers
Well another rifle season closes and I didnt get to pull the trigger on a single deer
Tough season! Well we got 9 days to get some meat with the muzzleloader, but man, I really wanted to wack somthing w/ my new Remy 7-08.
Hope you guys had better luck than me.

RE: Last chance NYers
I had a good year overal.
Although I didnt get a deer on my lot in UpState NY .
I did see at least 5 differnt bucks , but nothing I,d shoot with my rifle .
Althiugh I seen many deer this year I had more hrs on stand and more days in the woods and I still seen more deer last year .
One thing I did notice is More Coy Dogs this year .
I did manage to take out a couple mid way through the season .
I got a buck in Southern Tiere . 8 pointer , not bad .
Well at least I put my new 270 wsm Browning Short Trac to good use .
Hope you all had a good season and I,m already looking forward to next year ..
Happy Hollidays ..[8D]

Son got a six point on Thursday (no brow tines) really decent deer. I decided to not let a six point walkSaturday afternoon. I have been letting smaller buck off the hook for about 5 years but decided to break in the new leupold I put on duringthe season.

RE: Last chance NYers
I would agree on the coy dog thing. Coy dogs are very rare and sterile. So the chances on seeing one are worese than the lottery. Coyotes come in many colors and shades. Cream, yellow, grey, red andblack and all kinds of shades of these colors. They also can be anywhere from 30 to 65 pounds in my area. With the females a bit smaller than the males. I saw one Saturday that was pure cream colored. I shot one Sunday that was black on the back and grey down to white on the belly.
