d*mn, that's some serious weather. I hope you all come through it ok. Sounds like it's gonna be a rough ride.

He is the most anti-American president we have ever had. Simply put.

According to Steve it would cost more money in overtime pay for cops at protests for opening up county parks to hunting than the $300,000 plus dollars to pay sharpshooters. Possibly the most ludicrous thing I've heard this year. -Increase hunting access -Mandate a certain number of does before a buck.

First light.. Now that is planning.. You got it all... You deserve success.. Good luck, I hope to read about it soon,

Ya can't justify it with 20 cord that's for sure. I was selling 250 cord and cutting 50 for the farm and 50 for our sugar shack with a saw and splitter on the tractor. Made sense for us to get one.

30gr is a relatively light load for yotes. I prefer 40gr. JHP's. There's no doubt that a mag will kill a yote at further ranges, but are you going to find it? Headshot,probably. A bodyshot will most likely create for you an all day tracking job. Coyotes are incredibly tough and their fur soaks up blood like a sponge. Now couple that with an entry wound no bigger than a BIC pen(probably no exit hole) and the ability to cover ground very fast. You'd just better have snow to track it! Knowing your guns' abilities is just a smart move and will probably save you from some heart/headaches. You can "poke & hope" if you choose to.

I've been in touch with my daughter in Potsdam...She, along my SIL and grandson still have power, so they are hunkered in safe and warm for the time being.. Keeping our fingers crossed that they maintain power. Meanwhile, back at the oasis, it's about 60 here in southern Steuben County.

We are in North Jefferson Cty about 60 milies from Bubbas place. Its real bad here but worse up there his way. He is along the river and we are off the lake. Amazing how people from Ft Drum Military get stuck it their little hondas and fast and furious cars and just leave them sittin in the bank with some left right out in the road. lol I think they should make solders from the south go thru a class on Ny state winter driving before they turn them loose on the roads. No major fires or wrecks yet so were good so far!!

I just got my first .22 pistol a month or so ago and I Don't think my other pistols are going to get as much range time anymore. I'm already eyeing another .22. A Ruger SP101 revolver. Solid heavy frame with real nice sights. A little pricy though.

more than i usually get lol

I have a Glock 19 and love it. 9mm is a great round. That being said, my .22 pistols get much more shooting time. They are just so much more fun!

That sucks, it is 56 degrees here now going up to 60, most of the snow is gone.Going back to normal weather Monday.I guess it is a good thing living on the side of the hill at 2000 + feet.

4 minutes of my life I will never get back

Save your brass! You'll like reloading, it adds more pleasure to the sport.

Buckheart thanks off pointing out that a TV show is fake.... Nobody would have known otherwise. What's next ? Fred Flintstones car never really tipped over when a big rack of dinosaur ribs were hung from its door??

really spending $500 on a bunch of stuff shocks ya??? lol last rifle I bought was $1400, took 10 minutes

Hey! I called him that first. I didn't say douche , I said he must be full of vinegar so go jump into a big bag of water. So I called him a big d bag. Great minds think alike!!!!! Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

outdoorjay.. You also signed in and out with the DEC to hunt Rocky Point both days.

That means I was able to gut the deer. Get it on to my truck and then take a four hour trip back home in Long Island Nassau county then have both hung in the garage around 600pm and post it mins later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LI is open till the new year and congratz, im going out for an AM sit hoping to get lucky for the rain starts

I guess I should have bought a few more bricks of 500 back when they were selling for $8.99 per brick...

ah huh... I wouldn't wanna be the one who's receiving it. I suspect the penalties are fairly stiff and that's pretty easily caught. I'd think it'd be a Federal rap.

I use one as well and I feel confident in being able to make good shots, but I will be the first to admit that it is not gonna give consistent results especially when you start shooting over 100yds. Oh you said coy dogs, that's the yuppy version of coyotes! lol

My 50th Birthday party. The cabin. 1st time girls went squirrel hunting, the basket is for the harvest! Surf fishing at Eatons Neck. Walked in from work and Mac had everything under control!

I'm a big fan of vintage b&w hunting pictures. The gentleman on the driver's side of the vehicle is my great uncle who will be 104 years old this upcoming Feb. The pic was taken in Italy.

Good luck, I've never been able to find much on the land I hunt in the past.

The dogs...

I'm sure there are many here that share your sentiment...

outdoorjay.. This is NOT^ criticism. It is just my analysis of LI hunting... I assume that you were on either the Rocky Point, or Otis Pike coop. because you wrote that you were told that you would share with a pheasant hunter.I saw that yesterday..I was at one spot, two pheasant(dog) guys passed me and I saw what I assumed (I didn't go close) was a deer hunter on a stand.. I was at spot 10, someone 12 and I assume the other guy was at spot 1. They all connect, as do many coop- sites.. It's just the way it is. Without the coop we got almost nothing. IF you're at the coop that will happen at times in most spots, so pick ones that are spaced better, no guarantee, but it's all you got. and the more hunters that there are the more likely the land stays open for us.. As far as separate days..Look at the other side of it.. The State stocks pheasants every week so to a bird guy you are the one that shouldn't be in his spot..Those birds are stocked for him. Maybe he can't get his good bird spot because you are parked in it. Deer hunters get 3 months of bow and almost one month with gun. Pheasant guys get about 60 days. Small game hunters in the coop can only hunt weekends in the coop in LI gun season.. Deer guys get all the weekdays. So from their prospective they may think that should get more time. When I was a coon hunter, some guys didn't like trappers to share their area, and I'm sure vice verse.. We actually met to not have an understanding..We both had equal rights to use the land for our passions, so we got to understand and respect each other. My best squirrel spot in the coop is a very good deer spot(I should have gone there yesterday). It's a 2 car spot, so it's a crap shoot of who is there with me..For me, the deer guys don't bother my squirrels, but at times they have taken up that spot so I can't hunt it..... AND, of course to them when I shoot I bother their deer.. When I bow hunted LI I figured hoped that my small game brothers ( we are all hunters) would push the deer all day, and they do. So in my opinion, as they say.. it's just life in the big city.. It is what it is.. not perfect, but like I wrote, and you know, it's just what we got and we live with it.. I hunted the coop since the mid 60's so I'm just used to it I guess, and hunting beats doing anything else for me. There is , or was some open land west of the coop where I used to crow hunt in October which is a popular bow hunting site. One day I was at a site and a bow hunter walked thru "MY" field and took a stand at rattled behind me...He was moving and crows could see that, so I , like you, wasn't happy..But then later I did shoot a crow and I'm sure that he wasn't happy..We had no ill words, we were just doing our thing..Equal rights I have had problems upstate too with too many hunters.. Cranberry Mt. and Big Buck Mtn. in particular...I once had to wait 3 hours to park and have access to Cranberry because the spots were filled.I lived with it. I could have left and gone North where there's more land, but I chose to stay. There really is no, and will never be a solution that will make all of us happy, so in my opinion, we just have to adjust and improvise, and respect other hunters. As far as separate days.. I'm retired so I don't care, but to a working guy, or someone with a young family he goes when he can. It wouldn't be right to restrict him( him can also be her..( I have to be politically correct). So that's my opinion..

I left Long Island 10 years ago and moved up to the beautiful Hudson valley, room to breath, room to hunt and room to drive your car and just live like a human.

I do love me the yoga pants too

Tiny little pants ? My girl knows not to wear them around me or her work out will be me chasing her around the house trying to "smack her cakes"

Unit sure if your complaining or bragging that you spent a lot of money

Heck yes, Greybeard...I've shot hundreds of them over the years..They are very good eating..Dark meat, similar to wild duck..The only thing is, the older birds tend to be somewhat tough, so you need to use a slow, moist method of cooking, like braising, slow roasting, pressure cooking, or crockpot. The meat is all in the breast..I simply skin and cut the breast away and discard the rest... In the crockpot, put a layer of pigeon breasts, a layer of onions, another layer of breasts, etc. salt, pepper and then add some red wine and cook all day on low ..Good stuff. They also provide some very challenging wingshooting.. I have a local dairy farmer that lets me come down once or twice a year and shoot pigeons..He has dozens of them hanging around his corncribs and silos. It's a great way to spend a winter afternoon and burn up a few dozen shotshells. Field loads of #6 or 7 1/2 shot do the job just fine.

For all the lefties out there I am going to let you in on an idea since it seems there will be some open time slots on A&E to fill in when the Robertson family walks. Pitch a show of homosexuals that open a shop and work making vibrators and you can call it Dick Dynasty.

I'M SO SICK OF ALL THE BICKERING!! EVERY THREAD GOES RIGHT DOWN THE TOILET!! WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS TAKE THIS TO A PM?? MODS!!! It's Christmas guys, lighten up. Try and follow my lead..................................................

Isn't he the woodchuck from Pennsylvania?

I always thought it was the govt who kept whittling at our freedoms. i was misled. It is the people like a lot of them on here who defend taking them being taken away. it is no wonder we are in the state we are in. This si how the govt does it with the support if the zombies who follow along and are afraid to take a stand or if they do not agree with it, it has to go. be scared, be very scared..

Early and the rest of you non supporters please stay off this thread... I posted this so people who stand with Phil can sign this, not to fight over personal beliefs... Thanks Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk

I don't watch the show and I have no idea what he said. I don't care if he get back on show, but he has a right to say what he wants to when he wants to.

I respect his moral integrity. It takes some backbone to speak against such a powerful "group"/movement if you call it that. It seems if you speak anything negatively against homosexuality then you are in the wrong. I can't knock a man for sticking to his views on life. I'll keep my personal views out of the matter as to what's right or wrong for the sake of saving my thumbs from typing a 10,000 word essay. Only one question that comes to mind... So who determined that speaking against homosexuality is any different then promoting it? It's all relative on your perspective and views, as I know some religious people who are just as offended when they hear of supporting the LGBT community.

Not sure where some of this information is coming from. In my exp on LI, Ihavent seen evidence that hunters are not shooting does and strictly looking for horns. i didn't take time to look this up but I'm pretty sure dec stats will attest to it. To say "hunters have failed at reducing the population" is ridiculous. We are dealing with a public down here that largely doesn't have a clue about hunting. And Many of these deer are living in a reas that are inaccesible to hunters. The issue that bothers me the most is the fact that there still is a lot of parkland that can and should be opened up to hunting. And not in a manner that is a complete turnoff, like the wertheim deal.

Hey, it's Mr. Personality again. Good to hear from you ..... NOT! I have no clue if you really have a useful point or are just engaging in another mindless random attack. You know.... out there trying to make friends....lol. But anyway, thank you for the comedic relief. Your rare (thankfully) comments are once again up to your usual standards. Judging from your irrational outburst, I have to guess that you are one of those Bambi-loving property owners that I was referring to, that refuse permission to hunters (and then whine about deer damage). Well, I don't know what to tell you. As I said, you get what you deserve.

So what exactly do impressionable youth have to do with this thread again? So far, I havent seen anyone say that breaking the law is fine, or provide any proof that what the OP did was illegal. We have yet to discover where the coyote was shot. ASS..U..ME
