the nuisance tags are the ones i'm talking about, i know some farmers that get an assload of them for no reason at all, the claim they loose just to shoot more deer then they complain they don't see the deer

This isn't always the case though. At the place I've been nuisance hunting, the owners don't even hunt or eat venison. They are 5th generations farmers whose livlihood depends on the organic farm they run. And we show up and see an entire year's crop of winter leeks destroyed by the deer. The deer flock to farms like this and destroy people's hard work, lives, and income. The deer we shoot here usually don't even come home with us, but get dispursed to local needy families. There's always some a-holes that take advantage of situations, but that's definately not always the case. I'm not sure how these guys that you're talking about just get handed DMAP's? I thought DEC had to come out and observe that damage was being done, that's how it has always worked at this farm I'm talking about. I would call the DEC and report they're abuse of the tags if you seem to feel they are doing so.

Did your see much in your little creek spot where you had those few bucks running earlier in the year? That spot looks real nice! How steep were the sides where they were crossing?

My brothers stand is 45 yards from there and he hasn't  seen a shooter yet...He let a small crotch walk and 1 horn 2 pt..  I know there is two good 8's still around, that's what I thought my 6 was..  Getting sick of deer around here not having brow tines..
