I can be in for the 9th as long as no blizzard is in the mix (I would have to work)

Ive been hunting them around home and it looks to be a high population year. Ive seen more at my deer hunting spot than ever before in the last 20 years. Hope you fellas get into hordes of them.

This sounds too awesome. I love two things, Upstate NY and rabbit hunting! Unfortunately I'm trapped in Virginia and 16hrs round trip is just not in the cards. I wish you all the best of luck though.

With this interest in bunny hunting it might be cool to think about doing a NY TradGang deer hunt weekend or something. FWIW I would be in for anything from early season north country to LI, and from one day to a few days in the backcountry. Presuming I can get leave. Thank god I bought my lifetime license before I moved last year.

drewsbow · January 30, 2013, 06:00:00 PM

I think I can make it

Wapiti Chaser · January 30, 2013, 07:57:00 PM

Drew hope you make it. A NY Tradgang bowhunt would be a blast

Knawbone · January 30, 2013, 09:21:00 PM

I hope both of you guys can make the hunt, should be a good, good time. Will be nice to meet everyone.

Just a little reminder to everyone that is going with us that Jim and I ask that you please use blunts only (no broadheads )for the safety of the dogs. We are looking forward to the hunt and meeting those of you that we do not know yet.

Izzy · January 31, 2013, 12:57:00 PM

Any fox squirrels out there? Pretty sure I won't be able to make it but Im trying to justify it.

nashoba · January 31, 2013, 02:27:00 PM

Izzy not 100% sure I live north of Fillmore and we have them around here. I was told by the DEC about 4-5 years ago that they mostly live west of the genesee river which Fillmore is.

Frenchymanny · January 31, 2013, 03:07:00 PM

You guys will have a blast!

Fishburglar · January 31, 2013, 03:22:00 PM

QUICK QUESTION?! do i need my hunting license as im a total noob? and i just got my arrows dialed in. maybe i can make it? i just need license and blunts or ill just use fieldtips haha

wetfeathers · January 31, 2013, 04:16:00 PM

Izzy, Not many fox squirrels here. But, If you're looking for a reason to come, would a personal invitation help?

Yes you will need a NYS small game license, field points are not a good choice for small game as they lack the "shock" of a blunt, judo or hex type small game point. Another safety reminder is to wear some flo. orange or neon green.
