RE: NY opener anyone score?
 

I had been scouting a nice buck all week and i knew i would have a shot in the afternoon at it. So after helping a guy load a doe into his truck i get to my stand and bang, bang ! The guy i just helped was inside filling out the managment tag and saw my buck out the window he went out shot once it didnt move shot again and down 7ptr 100 yards from me! so pissed. First two days i saw 12 deer 2 of which were spikes. One spike i think was piebald...its legs were almost all white it was wierd looking...but no spikes where i hunt. Guy also saw a wild boar on the land I Hunt. Very interesting 2 days

You should report him. In NY it is only one deer per day. Then after the first deer, it is considered poaching.

Can you show me this in print??????
Hunted in NY all my life & only heard of this with turkey.
Not saying your wrong but want to see for my self.

Thats not true at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Our group of 8 saw several bucks - and harvested two. One a 155lb 6 point the other a 115 lb 6 point on opening day.

It really was a nice day -

I didn't take or even see a buck this year on the opener this year.

I'll look forward to some snow on the ground by the weekend!!!!

We hunted in 8Y Chumung Co. we didnt hear much shooting. I saw a buck heading my way nothin big, then he made a left well over 120yds in the woods, walked over onto someones property they took him out. My friend got caught in the stand by a nice 8 pointer, and a spike no shot, we saw about 17 does.....no one got nothin

definitely NOT TRUE. if you have 10 tags - you can shoot 10 deer in one day if you are so inclined. this is the kind of misinformation that hurts novice hunters. please get your facts straight before you give advice (especially on this type of info).

as far as my week of hunting it was unproductive - saw a 4 pt chasing a doe on monday (too far/thick for a shot); saw several more doe on mon./tues. - probably 15 all together; i hunt 7M so we can't shoot doe this year (bummer); wed. sucked - rain most of the day; poured thurs. - didn't even hunt; nice day fri - snow, no deer; nice day sat. - no deer (snow gone); poured sun. - came home from camp

seems like the deer "shut down" after first 2 days. however we did see some tracks friday & saturday. I know there are some nice buck in the area (have seen the 4, a 6 , and three 8s). i just hope that some made it thru the opening week.

I too have noticed the typical shutdown after opening day. Havent seen a thing since taking a doe on opening evening.

The numbers of hunters in the woods fall starting tomorrow and continue on til the season ends, so hopefully it will help the deer move a bit more.

They are out there, just have to keep at it.:D

I killed a 4 ptr at 7:15 am and then a doe at 7:40 am...............then I got down because I was out of tags :(

While I was field dressing my deer my brother killed a nice doe.


I also took another doe last friday at 4:35 pm

Our camp of 12 guys didn't do so well, accept for one guy. We pulled a nice 12pt and fork horn.

Story about the 12 pt:

My uncle who does not worry about scent at all happened to be in the right stand that morning. There wasn't to much action going on the Monday openner. Very few shots. Well nature called at around 10:30 and my uncle climbed down the stand walked 30 yards and did his business(#2). Got back into his stand lit up a cig and not 2 minutes later heard something running his way. So he put down his cig picked up the gun and saw a doe run up at 20 yard. now my uncle never passes up a nice doe at 20 yards but saw that it was looking back at something and decide not to take the shot. And sure enough trailing in hot pursuit was a big 12 pt. As he was running up on the doe the buck stopped and looked down at the package my uncle dropped then pick his head up and looked right at him. Too late POW, POW. My uncle layed some lead into his heart and lungs. Buck almost dropped right there. needless to say my uncle was a very happy man.

I goy a fat 4 pont on Monday morning bout 11:00. Came in to them new fangled rut sticks you burn like insence. He came in upwind & I thought it was a doe. As he was leaving I saw the antlers & almost cried but he circled around & winded the stick & came right in. Crappy rack but he dressed out at 170#. That was in Washington county unit 5P.
Sorry no pics.
