adkmountainken · January 04, 2014, 05:03:00 PM

Ithaca has extended its deer season in an effort to control the deer population, a link can be found on the D.E.C. website. myself and 5 others will be going for 2 different weekends. 2 deer a day limit per person and more info on the DEC link. time to dust off the long bow!!!!! will run the month of January.

I'm originally from that area Ken. Good luck and watch out for the tree huggers, the place is crawling with them. Cayuga Heights is where the deer are most overpopulated, but the residents as a whole, aren't exactly country folks. If you know what I mean. Hope you get lot's of deer.

we will be hunting in one or both of the parks as i do not have a place to hunt private land.

Good Luck. Shoot straight

Practice what you will do as a reaction if a tree hugger gets nasty. Don't worry about it, prolly won't happen, just be ready to be the good guy and let them look like jerks.

You shouldn't have a problem Ken if your hunting in the parks. Just a lot of libs around Cornell university area and the city of Ithaca. Have a great time.

Good luck! A co-worker mentioned this to me but I have too much going on this time of year (end).

Good Luck ken.

Hey Ken give me a shout or PM. Can't hunt Cornell properties unless you obtained a permit prior to the season. So we are limited to either private land or the state parks. Cayuga Heights is a prime focal point, but the locals don't want them put in a freezer, they want them to be spayed and or neutered. Then kissed and sent on there way.

will do Lee, looks like a very big group of us now maybe 7-10. i have NEVER run in to a tree hugger while hunting yet and i am the nicest one of the bunch that will be hunting if that tells you anything......

I like to hug my deer right after I tag them

I am all set to go, weather will determine which weekend. Probably @ Treman.

This is my daughter's first year at Ithaca college.
She's into film making and has photography classes. All the other students are taking pictures of man made structures and waterfalls.
My daughter...deer!
She said the place is crawling with them.
Good luck Ken!

Hope you guys don't have to deal with any of that crap. I would be in before light n out after dark. Most confrontation would be at the parking areas I suppose?

Good luck everybody. Keep us posted on how you do.

LeeNY · January 05, 2014, 01:39:00 PM

Ken, Call 607 273 3440 that's the number for Robert Treman State Park. This office operates both Buttermilk Falls and Treman. They are very helpful. Sent you a PM with my cell number and home phone. I'm off to work at 2:30 so cell is better after 2:30.
