My brother had a bear cross the road in front of him yesterday morning. Talking to his neighbor, apparently the bear's name is Carlos. He keeps Agway in the bird feeder business
Mine walks by my stand in the middle of the night. A few walked in the creek on the otherside of the brush. They were heard, but not seen. Maybe next weekend for both of us!!Big bodied 4 point milled around behind me this morning. Nothing else.
For your $10 you apply for 2 DMPs. They can be in the same, or different, WMUs. This year I got 3M and 7S. If you want more, see if they have any available for your area and you don't have to pay for them again.The DEC gave me a bonus this year.
I ordered my tags online in August.
During checkout it asks for what WMU you want you DMP in. Sinse I only wanted one, I choose 9J. Then it asked me for an alternative in case they weren't available. Because I only wanted the one, I tried to just proceed but it said I MUST pick another WMU. So I just picked 9J......because I didnt want anything else. I live in 9J and its huge.....I dont want to go anywhere else.
I went through the checkout, paid for my license and 1 DMP....no problem.
A week later my tags show up......2 DMPs.
Im not going to worry about it, they never sell out around here. And I will fill it.
Hey @Saltwater60 we have plenty of DMPs in 9J. Its not too far from you.
Well that would be why I got 2. Thus has never happened before....I usually order 1 but this this time they forced me to pick an alternative and sent me two. My receipt says 1 DMP.....but I received 2.For your $10 you apply for 2 DMPs. They can be in the same, or different, WMUs. This year I got 3M and 7S.

A couple of years ago, I ended up with 6 for 3M
Show'em what you're made of kidTempted to borrow my sons xbow because a big 10 point just showed up on the game cameras.
Never had a bow licence, don't think I'll get one either. Just another money grab by NY.Show'em what you're made of kid
Don't need one for xbow, just a muzzleloader stamp.Never had a bow licence, don't think I'll get one either. Just another money grab by NY.
You need a muzzlerloader license for a crossbow. I just went through the regs.Never had a bow licence, don't think I'll get one either. Just another money grab by NY.
I saw no deer yesterday either except a flick of the tail of the one I spooked walking it. It was 24 Degrees by me and the ground was super crunchy and loud.As for me I saw nothing today but gray squirrels and the flick of an ear just above the stone wall.
Cold this morning 30 degrees. I sat as still as a stone til 10am, home til 2p then back out til sunset .
I've seen the same 3 bucks on the trail cams, 1-8 point rack nothing to write home about but still an 8 point, 1-6 point nice tines, and the same spike buck 4 point wanna be for the 3rd year running. Starting to show his age. Ugliest darn rack you ever saw. Looks like a pronghorn antelope.
The more I think about it, the dumber it sounds. Why wouldnt they keep xbow with bow tags ? The only reason is to soak more people for more money buying another tag. Wonder what it cost if one was to buy every sporting tag they offer ?Don't need one for xbow, just a muzzleloader stamp.
Bow, muzzleloader, regular license and DMPs is $62. Other than that, add fishing, turkey, waterfowl, trapping. I'm not sure what else there is.The more I think about it, the dumber it sounds.

For the Xbow, NYS differentiates between a bow and a Xbow because an Xbow has a trigger (and not to mention a rifle stock).The more I think about it, the dumber it sounds.

Absolutely.Bow, muzzleloader, regular license and DMPs is $62. Other than that, add fishing, turkey, waterfowl, trapping. I'm not sure what else there is.
About the only good thing NY has going for it, is it's hunting. For that $62, I can take 6 deer and a bear and have 3+ months to do it. If you think it's expensive, talk to some people in other states.
I’ll bet it’s better hunting though.Absolutely.
KY is pricey in the hunting license dept., but a saving grace for me is I qualify for a senior sportsman at age 65.
TruthI’ll bet it’s better hunting though.
That’s a nice deer. Good luck.I was out walking in the woods with my shotgun and I saw an anterless deer. I thought it might be the same forkie from last week. So, I quietly pursued it through the woods to confirm. Much to my surprise, she was set upon by a mature buck. It came to about 39 yards. A had enough time to set up my camera, but the buck busted me the moment the video started recording.
I ran off about 100 yards and begin grunting at me. I marked the spot on my GPS. I’ll set up a blind early on Thursday, and see if I can poke a hole through it.

Thanks. I’ll probably never lay eyes in it again. But, I was trying to figure out where to set my blind.That’s a nice deer. Good luck.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve got a heavily traveled path at a creek bend I want to set up on. It will 100% depend on wind direction. One side has cover the other is wide open so I bought a blind. I just want something, anything to walk by. My mom took a walk and saw more deer than I did in 10 hours.Thanks. I’ll probably never lay eyes in it again. But, I was trying to figure out where to set my blind.
Unfortunately it is silly but that’s a result of politicians. Crossbow hunting was a law passed by the legislature not a reg from the DEC and thus subject to extra dumbfuckeryThe more I think about it, the dumber it sounds.

I have a small spring steel pop-up blind that works pretty well for turkeys. But, There’s not really enough room inside to draw a bow in all directions. I had a plump doe come in to about 20 yards and started browsing. She was just over my left shoulder and I couldn’t turn around in the blind to draw the bow. I tried to slowly slide the bow outside the window to draw it. But, she caught me as soon as the bow was outside the blind.Got a look at my first shooter buck tonight.
He waited til dark and walked directly under my stand sniffing the doe estrus. Surprised me as I was taking an end of the hunt pee in a jug .
Pissed all over my leg trying to get a better look at him.
Murphy is a bastard.
