People in coeymans hollow ny are confused
since opening day ive heard nothing but shotguns and muzzloaders goin off at 7 oclock in the morning . It just pisses me off nowing iam sitting in my stand with my bow and people are around me with guns...shooting deer. ...I called dec and they said do to the location their isnt much they can do about it because it is to far back in the woods and its not excessable bye a car.. UGH sorry about my rant..

How do you know theyre shooting deer? How do you know theyre not shooting at small game or waterfowl? Is there a pheasant preserve or trap range nearby? How do you know theres muzzleloaders going off? I cant tell the difference. I dont think too many poachers use muzzloaders anyway.

"why would they use a muzzleloader", because they think if they get caught they can lie about it say they shot it where muzzle is open. To say you cant tell the difference in the sound then you havent been hunting long enough, i could tell you when a Muzzle, shotgun, or a rifle is shot off, when i am hunting with a group of friends I can even tell which one shot most times not all by the larger calibers and loads some use.

Ever think it might be someone shooting a gun on their own property to scare off the deer? Have had it happen to me before. In a stand near another persons property. Hear them say. "someone is hunting in that stand" Next thing you know they decide to target practice (safely with nothing coming my way) on thier property. When I get down to leave they seem to have gotten enough of the target pracitce. Some people just do not like what others are doing so they have to disrupte it one way or the other.
