Thanks guys! We actually got there before sun-up, and these deer at 8:15 were the first I saw...no one was even shooting all morning, mine was the first shot we heard, and I mean out of as far as you can hear a gunshot, not just in our immediate woods....
NY is not too bad with the tags - if you bowhunt, too, you can get a total of 3 right off the bat, guaranteed (one buck only with gun or bow, one anterless only with bow, and one of either sex with the bow), and then you can apply for up to two extra anterless tags which is awarded on a lottery system by management unit, some units are almost guaranteed, some are harder to get, this year I got 2, one for Westchester, one for Putnam. The other cool thing is you can sign over these unit tags to anyone else...
Would you believe I spoke to the guy who designed and patented the Hastings Slugs today on the phone?! I e-mailed them my thanks and the story above, and he actually called me to say hello and thank you!! Really nice guy, he said it took him 9 years and all his money to design, I hope he makes a fortune off of them, he deserves it in my opinion!
You guys are out in the mid-west, correct? Wow, God Bless you guys, you have some absolutely amazing deer out there...
Can I contact you guys one day if I ever need info on a good guide for me & my cousin?
