This season is almost in the books; seems I just started taking target practice for bow season a couple days ago...it always goes by so fast & the end bittersweet.
How's everyone making out this year?

slow year here. I did get an 8pt with the bow and a doe with the muzz. but it was a ton of hours on stand for them.

Pretty quiet board,huh?
I don't know where you are in NY, but here is the eastern portion it was little mast & a whole 'lotta apples- the exact opposite of lat year! Travel routes changed accordingly. I figure, the season I don't learn something new will be my last.

Glad to hear you've got meat.

Very quite in 6k past on some smaller bucks annd am eating tag soup this year.

Tag soup-goes best with plans for next year!
Speaking of which, I was just reading some old "news" regarding a plan for next year's tags. As I understand it, there may be no more antlerless or either/or tags issued; if you hunt all 3 seasons, you will be able to shoot 3 bucks only in areas where there are no DMP's issued.
Also, antler restrictions may be instituted in additional zones.
My gut reaction to this plan is that it might be a looooooong time before some of us fill the freezer again.
Given the buck-doe ratio in my zone 4, frankly, I won't bother purchasing a license at all if what I've read is accurate.
What I will do is ensure my vehicles are properly insured for comp (deer) claims...

Not a horrible year in 5s, shot a doe with bow, 8pt with rifle, doe with muzzleloader.
