Kinda. I know its really badminton.

Congratulations to Adam on an outstanding buck!

Thats what i bought for my first year out hope they do well by me

Being in wNY, I can't offer assistance. But I can say kudos to you for taking the step to get your son involved in something he is interested in doing. Maybe someone here can step up and consider a mentor capacity to this young man. Also, maybe look into the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). The head of that group is actually president of the NYS Outdoor Writer's Association...and he's is a top-notch guy with a ton of connections. I'm sure he'd be willing to direct you to someone who can help.

No disrespect guys...I find it funny to see "going to blow your arm off" recoil and AR's in the same topic. They do a wonderful job of recoil reduction. I wouldn't be afraid of any caliber in those platforms.

BTW, Doc, Im kidding about the disabled part.

So as not to tarnish my rep as a jerk I am going to go make fun of a diasbled elderly person.

My problem with these shows is that there is more attention paid to the hunter than the animal... the fellas and gals on these shows may be well known for having a television show, but that doesn't necessarily equate to being some kind of hunting "guru"... many hunters look at these "TV hosts" as being the end all be all when it comes to hunting.. the truth is most are just regular joe's like you and I that have found a way to make it in the outdoor television world... I would challenge most of them to try an get the same hunting footage hunting in the ADK's or on NY public land. Having done the TV thing myself.. I can tell you that it's all about pleasing the sponsors... without them you have no show or the fleeting fame...

You got that right. Fuss around too long waiting for a better shot and most likely the deer will be gone. In the TV shows the hunters could practically take a half hour nap and the deer will still be in the same spot. Then again when you stop and think about it, why wouldn't the deer stick around since the feeders are probably whizzing the corn out every few minutes. LOL I don't care who is OK with the term "harvest", I know I am not. Big difference in plucking corn or a tomato in comparison to killing a deer. If "harvest" is acceptable for killing a deer, why isn't "harvest" used when cattle, pigs, chickens get slaughtered?? Harvest is simply a feel good term used to take the dirty word "kill" out of hunting to protect the sensitive ears of todays society who has lost it's understanding of reality. For this reason I hate the term.

Some recent pics I've got of this guy on 3 different cameras this past week. Hopefully he sticks around until October.

turtle?

The best is when they're all sitting in a heated hut 20 feet off the ground with just a slit to look through and fit a gun barrel through... they end up shooting a buck a few hundred yards away... and when they show them in the hut they have head to toe camo complete with head net..lol .. no no.. wait! How about just after they shoot and the buck goes down 300 yards away near the feeder.. they are breathing so hard that you'd think they just ran a marathon... they are so excitecd that you think they might pee their pants... then they proceed to tell you "That was a tough hunt " and how hard they worked for that buck...

I have seen 3 legged deer run and keep up with 4 legged ones. If she makes it to the season she would probably survive. That said, if she presented me a shot and I had a tag during season I would take her.

That's debateable !

pm me with details of an area and time you would like to meet up. I have to work this weekend so just trying to figure out if I would have a chance to meet up with you.

So much for ending the debate lol.

its not a foyote its a Cox lol

Foyote

So the guys have covered the basics and I'll add this....I see a family in your avitar....I know many gun hunters that for God only knows...think it's OK to go up a tree with a gun and no harness...If you happen to be...not saying you are...but if...learn to use your harness...because as foolish as it is to go up high during gun without a safety harness ...it is roulette to do so with a bow ...ppl love and need you play it safe...Other than that..practice from a tree if you hunt from the trees...You'll never understand why you didn't do it sooner once you start shooting bow...have fun and Good Luck

the best gun for home defense in the one you have in your hand when you need it

the thing that struck me funny about this thread and I mean no offense but you do not have the right to buy ammo at walmart or any other store. They have the right to refuse any customer at any time, just like any other business can. They set their policies by the country not the state they are in. In other words if one state has a law it has to be done that way, they make all stores do it that way. This supposedly eliminates the chances of a person transferring to a different store in a different state and messing up a sale such as that.
