Kelney Report post Posted November 21, 2015 I had that tag a few years back and tagged out on the buck on my avatar. This year I had the general hunt and after 4 days of glassing and hunting hard, I never saw a single deer.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buglethemin Report post Posted November 21, 2015 Kelney that's too bad to hear you had a tough hunt. The early hunters for the depredation hunt did awesome in 41w. They were hunting the Mohawk valley area helping the farmers save some lettuce crops. Some big guys in velvet fell during that hunt. I really thought with the cooler weather the general hunters would of done good. I remember reading your muzzle loader post and the buck you killed was very nice. Here are some of those bucks on the agg fields in Mohawk valley 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buglethemin Report post Posted November 21, 2015 It was not in regs you have to apply for it early In The year and you select what game you'd like to help if called. Select all if you do it. Once you send in you app. They compile all the apps do a draw to give you a random number. based on the number you drew and if they have problems in area they go down the list in order. They call you and you have 24hrs to say yes or no and usually the hunt starts a few days later and it is only for certain areas. If you say yes. You pay the fee for the tag if you say no then they go tho the. Next person. This hunt was only for the agg fields and adjoining washes to the fields. It's another chance to go hunting. I had friends get called for areas they had elk problems. The nice thing the tags are for any deer or any elk. They just want you to shoot does or cows with fawns to avoid any orphan issues.
