RE: possible changes for NY deer seasons
At the risk of sounding like a jerk, do you realize you spelled your screen name wrong? Its Oneida, not Onieda. If you misspelled it due to the correct spelling already having been taken, well, then we can blame it on Phade or something, ok?

RE: possible changes for NY deer seasons
I heard this from a guy who is deeply involved with hunting NY and attends meetings that southern and northern will open at the same time BUT there will be 3 days of muzzleloader before bow opens in southern. YOU CAN NOT use inlines! ONLY ball/patch muzzleloaders. Good thing i have one rotting away in my garage that i couldnt sell so now i can sight that it in. Thats what i heard and i know its another "hear say" but thats what i heard. If im correct you can all say you heard it from me!

RE: possible changes for NY deer seasons
It's funny, not saying anybody is wrong, but this is the 3rd post from a reliable source. All with different outcomes of the season. I was told it would be set March 15th, so my post is not looking to reliable, even though it was from a Conservation Officer. Has anybody heard when the DEC will be telling and put all the speculation to rest?

Bear something in mind, fellow deerslayers--these are proposed changes.

RE: possible changes for NY deer seasons
I'm going to add to the mayhem here. My brother just told me yesterday he recieved a letter in the mail Friday from the DEC. Basically reading they are not going ahead with their season proposal, and the 05 season dates will be announced, and posted on the websight 3/30 or 31. I'm not sure why he recieved a letter, and I haven't heard of anyone else recieving such a letter. He left it at his job where he showed fellow hunters he works with. I told him I'd like to see it first hand. He's not known to b.s. on hunting related issues. Him & I both mailed letters to the DEC on our season views, and attended a public meeting on it in Watertown. He figured one of those reasons was why he had recieved this letter, and was surprised when I hadn't. So it all beats me!!!!
