mattys281 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 I have my w/t tag here in 35A for the 10/23-10/29 hunt. Hopefully I tag out during the weekend because I drive to NY on 10/27 to go into camp on 10/30 and hunt to 11/7. Then I return to AZ. I go up to 5A from 11/21-12/6 for my bull elk tag. Wife is a little irritated I have three tags to fill. My lifetime hunting license in NY was the best $600 I spent in the state. I automatically get my buck tag, bear tag, fall turkey tags, and spring turkey tags each year. My two doe tags are [almost] automatic if I let the state know I want them. Oh, and I can fish year round too. If I had been buying out-of-state tags all of these years, it would have cost me thousands. I hunt the northern side of the Adirondack Mountains, so we use rifles. Average shot distance is 100 yards. Long shots are 200. I love my NY hunting! I'm not sold on this whole western-draw system yet...a man needs to hunt every year! Stupid Government of AZ telling me when I can or can't hunt big game....pfffft. There's a good many of us that aren't too awful fond of the draw system, but we just don't have the herd to allow led flingers to go unchecked. Offers are given every year for trips to NY I have my w/t tag here in 35A for the 10/23-10/29 hunt.

Stupid Government of AZ telling me when I can or can't hunt big game....pfffft. Off of our lease from Orange county, we can ask for and recieve over 200 deer tags, FREE, to be used year round, day or night...We do not ask for them, to the dismay of NY DEC, "But, But, Everybody else gets them...".... When a hunter, with a sportsmans licence, can shoot a deer with a bow, a rifle, a muzzleloader, and two Rifle doe tags, Bear and turkey tags(one Spring and two fall tags), those 'extra" 200 tags seem be too much beat-down on the herd... And offers seem to pop-up here on CWT.com to hunt NY, but not many take the trip ...??? I hope they keep coming. I'd love to do it some time. going to Nebraska in about 4 weeks for my first crack at full size whitetails! Can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
