"if we only had 1000 dpsm and giant 10 points the ne forums would almost be blank "

Probably be full of "good" commentary from pgc if treehuggers had never took over the PGC.

simply with money if they need more to even to the same job they have been you either give it/ let them do a worse job and cut things or they find it elsewhere imho there is no good answer to the question right know

There is no "eslewhere" for them to find it currently.

They havent "given in" because they havent gotten to the point yet where they must. They made meager insignificant cuts that they were all too willing to "live with" to avoid having to make changes. That is soon not to be the case.

They "tested the water" with the rediculous offer of nothing, with the changes in the few wmus. The longer the holdout goes on, the higher the offer will increase. No doubt about it.

Here in the Northern part of the SE/Southern part of theNE, we have true bow hunters. They hunt with bow only, if they don't harvest a deer with a bow they don't go out with a rifle in rifle season just to try and fill their unused tag. That is the sign of a true bow hunters, which mygrandsons father is one of them, plus i have a son in N.Y. feels the same way.
I guess you got me there.... not! I do hunt the gun season. You were half right with your assumption. The part you were wrong about is that I do it with a bow. As a matter of fact my best PA buckwas shot with a bow from his bedon the second Monday of rifle season.My second best PA buck cameon Jan 12 again with the bow in anSRA with gun hunters all over the place.

I also notice you didnt include yourself when you described what a real bowhunter is. Given your disregard for the Game laws, I'm glad that you don't put yourself in with our group.
I hunted with the bow during the late 50's and early 60's, had no trouble seeing deer even though they weren't at that time. My marksmanship was questionable and I never hit a deer, in fact it wasn't easy drawing the bow when everyone hunted from the ground. After having lost two hit deer, that others had shot, I had to make a choice between practicing or quit.

I have no problem with bow hunters as a group, just the ones that aren'ttruthful as are a lot of rifle hunters.

How did you shoot a buck from his bed, did you know he was coming back or was that his area in the shed?

I wouldn't expect you to be able to fathom how it could be done and your weak attempt at implying that it was in the shedas part of your question doesn't deserve an answer but I'll give you one anyway. I certainly don't have to worry that you'll ever hurt the deer population by succeeding at it yourself even after I tell you how.

I walked in on him on my way to my stand. Had the benefit of a stiff crosswind whichhelped maskmy noise and kept my scent away. How I saw him first? I was intimately familiar with the area and sometimes busted deer from that very spot on my way in and I just was better than he was that particualr day and saw him first. A once in a lifetime situation? maybe. Lucky? Sure! I've found over the years that the longer you work at something te luckier you get. BTW, I know you'll ask. He was 3 1/2 and 130"

Why were you walking through a bedding area to get to your stand?

I could explain, but based onan evaluation of your level of deer hunting skill,you need to complete deer hunting 101, 102, 103 and 104 before it would do you any good.

I was just picking on you a bit, you said you shot him from his bed not in his bed. The part about the shed was just put in so as not to tarnish my reputation.

My father had a hunting buddy, before I started hunting in '54, that could move through the woods like a native american, but he was a light footed Italian. He once shot an eight pointer in his bed, along a trail that hunters used to trail up and down the mountain. Yes he was a rack hunter and there were a lot of them years ago, no big deal to them if they didn't get a deer each year and when they did it was one to be proud of.

I'll explain it for you. It was the shortest distance to your stand from your parking spot.

OK, taken in that spirit!;) Actually I didn't shoot him IN the bed. I had to wait him out from 16 yards away for 2 1/2 hours till hestood up and presented a shot. Longest 2 1/2 hours of my life!!! Cramps, parts falling asleep, bleary eyed from straining to see his eyes to see if I could relax a minute, It was a grueling afternoon. If I'd have missed, well, I don't even want to think about it;)
