in reply to: Curious about numbers of deer most shoot. #43351

In new york region 3North we get two buck tags and one or two doe tags. Doe tags are transferable. I never killed more than one except last year where I got two. I sometimes give away one of my doe tag to procrastinating friends who bought their license the day before opening, and were not issued any.

Last night, I kept hearing wood cracking while waiting quietly near a spring. I swear I felt my heart coming out of my chest!

in reply to: What are you reading in Elk camp? #41143

Elk camp was a special place this year and every year before for me. Unfortunately, I was so tired every night that I barely made it passed the preface of “Racks” by David Petersen. But I plan on seriously reading it on my flight to Jacksonville today, and back home to NYC Sunday!!
My midday ritual was: eat, nap, sharpen, shoot judos!!:D

I don’t know… Tred as a person is to be greatly admired. His hunting philosophy is good too. I just wish he would walk the talk! By example.
Ohh.. I wish Hunting Season would start here! OCT 15th!!!

Steve, I was going to write something like that. I watched him flinging arrows at running Elk from 30-40 yards, and was not happy either. Regardless, the message in this video remains solid as a rock to me. Plus he is a champion of public land access, from the multi million dollars shores of the Hamptons, to the National Forests of the West.
If only someone would teach Tred how and when to shoot!!!
