Hey Ken and Two blade, I can't make it over there this weekend, but let me know when else your going to be in Ithaca and I'll come hunt with you guys for a day or two. I have a good friend that lives in Newfield and I could stay with him for a two day hunt with you fellas........if you'll have me

I'm always up for a hunt with my Trad Gang buddies.

David would love to hunt with ya man! are you sure ya can't make it this weekend?

2Blade · January 06, 2014, 06:58:00 PM

Dave ill see how the Meet And Greet goes...They will probably think im a weirdo because I shoot with a Clicker

ron w · January 06, 2014, 07:05:00 PM

Ken can't pull it back far enough to make a clicker go off.......

2Blade · January 06, 2014, 07:39:00 PM

May not have a 29" draw like me?

Knawbone · January 06, 2014, 07:51:00 PM

Ken, as a mater of fact, I can make it over Sunday. I have the WNY Bunnie Bash Sat. with Longrifle, stone knife, nosaba, drew , sockrsblur,ect. We will be trying to shoot some Rabits, as Elmer Fudd would say.
I know the Ithaca area very well, I grew up 10 miles up Cayuga lake in Trumansburg, and lived in the Ithaca area untill I was in my late 30's. I haven't read the laws governing this extended hunt, but I have A DMP tag for R7 and an either sex tag for bow/muzzle. If we can hunt buttermilk, thats a good thing........ if not too many are hunting it. It's quite a bit bigger than Treman as far as hunting land go's. If I don't use my DMP tag, I'll sign it over to one of you guys.I only would want one more deer in my freezer.No need to waist a good tag!

2Blade · January 06, 2014, 08:01:00 PM

Hey Ken Now that you mention it would you happen to have a couple open palm shooting gloves similar to the Neet Gloves? Id be willing to trade if youed like. I got two Homemade tabs im willing to trade as well as 2 Damascus shooting gloves. I just favor open palm design id be all set except my other Neet glove the leather is cut wrong. I got Broadheads im willing to trade also so just lettin you know

This hunt should be a blast! I just hope there will be many photos! From practicing to enjoying camp and a deer kill with everyone!

Knawbone · January 06, 2014, 08:09:00 PM

2Blade, how well do you know Treman? I used to fish the stream and have walked the gorge, but have never hunted it or Buttermilk for that matter. Are those the only parks open to bow?

2Blade · January 06, 2014, 08:26:00 PM

I know the portion around my house somewhat as I dont hunt public that much but I know some. My Uncle who everyone will meet is weatlth of knowdledge as hes killed many deer on the Park Land. From what I understand Buttermilk is open to hunting as well. However I know 0 about Buttermilk

Knawbone · January 06, 2014, 08:49:00 PM

The friend I mentioned earlier and I counted over 70 deer in a field one night back in the late 80's or early 90's. That field, bordered Buttermilk state park land. That area is still good hunting. Tompkins county is a sleeper for giant bucks as well. Some big big bucks have been harvested from Buttermilk over the years too. I used to pass those fields every day on my way to work. It was tough to get access to the park back then.

Dave we plan on pulling out around 12 noon or so on Sunday, can ya get there in the morning to hunt? i am using this first trip as "deer recon" and just getting my feet wet to learn the area a bit. i'll do pretty much anything to extend my deer hunting season!

Knawbone · January 06, 2014, 09:43:00 PM

Not sure Ken, but I'll set you up with the best info I can. If I can't make it Sunday, I'll PM you with directions to a good area.

Cyclic-Rivers · January 06, 2014, 10:29:00 PM

Seeing as there is so many deer out there, please shoot one for me.

adkmountainken · January 07, 2014, 05:02:00 AM

Charlie any way you can join us? room in the camper for ya!

Wapiti Chaser · January 07, 2014, 05:41:00 AM

Lee I think your right but it's confusing if you read the quote I posted that is off the map of the area with the special season. It states two antler less deer in addition to any tags you have with your license. Maybe unused buck tags are good for does ?

adkmountainken · January 07, 2014, 07:14:00 AM

they let you print of as many tags as you want when you go on the website, i printed 10 as that is what came of when printed.

LeeNY · January 07, 2014, 09:58:00 AM

I can do Sunday, Saturday just got ate up by my job. Hope there is room?

Biggamefish · January 07, 2014, 01:25:00 PM

Let us know how you do. I was thinking about going down but this month is getting very busy for me.

shedhunta · January 07, 2014, 01:30:00 PM

I drove through ithaca and the finger lakes this past weekend. Some beautiful woods up there. Beautiful pine thickets that would be a haven for lateseason deer in my area of SE PA. I now have access to 10 acres in Penn Yan. Will be up next year. Good luck everyone. I want to see some success pics!!!!
