I spent my day at the Nassau County HS Fencing competition today in Cold Spring Harbor HS and my daughter placed 8 out of 32 foils and is now ranked 11 in the County.

busy all day...trying to sneak past them in and out of the clover field...got these as 5 were running down through the woods...Deer every where today and seemingly much happier than of late...lol

In Rochester the government employees are exempt from being fined.Do as I say not as I do.

Nope. That'd be too easy. It's a Bear's ear. Gotta be.....................................

Cuse!

Here was the biggest congestion of the group in one field, again sorry about the blurry photo.

the more I think about it, the more I think it's a bad idea.....for every one person that's smart enough to hunt safely under a rule like that, there's probably 10 people who aren't smart enough.

So far , I don't see a problem with the cameras . There is too much "slow and go" at red lights and stop signs . Then it progresses to "nothing is coming so just go" . The next step is the a-holes that don't give you the right of way when they are on an "on ramp" and want you to get out of their way because they don't want to merge properly .

This will bring a few memories back to the older folks, it sure did for me http://vimeo.com/52231459

Seahawks The # 1 ranked defense vs. the # 1 ranked offense ........should be a good game . Couldn't ask for a better match up. Won't have to hear Manning yelling Omaha after tomorrow .

The real scam artist in this is the company selling the equipment to the city . They were talking about it on the news . The company wines and dines city officials , the city officials then buy the equipment , the fines go towards paying for the cameras and what is left over goes to the city. I posted the first story i found on google , the list of cities growing . Im sure you can find something more recent. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-03-16/news/ct-met-redflex-chicago-investigation-0316-20130316_1_redflex-holdings-ltd-u-s-attorney-city-program-manager

Another money making ploy for Gov. With the ideology of it making the streets safer. What a joke. Welcome to more police "State" control. Wait until one goes up in front of your house for "speed control". Fact: Private industry gets part of the payment for the camera use. Another type of taxation without representation IMO. Try to cross examine the arresting officer when you go to court, you cant because he was not there, he did not give you the ticket, some person working for private industry gave it to you. Feeling more like a communist state every day...

No ... I didn't become aware of the comment phase until after it had concluded. Their fault -- my fault, I don't know, but I do know that I refuse to go off on a guilt trip over it....lol. Furthermore, I will guarantee those who are most effected by all of this (the average suburban homeowner) will never become aware of any of it until they try to lodge a complaint about some weird-looking guy sitting next to their house in camo and grease paint. And as a matter of fact, it appears that this is not an issue (weapons discharge distance from occupied buildings) where the DEC has the final say anyway. So comments to them probably will not really have that great an impact in the final outcome. Likely the proper place to lodge comments is with your state legislators. And relative to the surveys (which as usual I didn't receive) it sounds like they were only sent to hunters. The fact is that the setback issue is not just a hunter's issue. In fact it primarily affects homeowners, renters and tenants. Was there ever an attempt to sample opinion of the general public. Not that I have seen mentioned. So I suspect that once again the attempts at public input were skewed in a direction to get the answers that they wanted.

HMMMMM .... Can they be used for Trail Cam's ? LOL

Burt. Same thing happened to me at the entrance to Roosevelt Field mall last year no less. $75 ticket for not stopping before turning on red. They know most people will not fight it for $75 bucks. It's a money making scheme for Nassau county. Sure enough I always make a full stop before turning at every intersection now.

I'm trying to figure just where on the base of any cartridge there would be room for anymore markings. I mean there is the maker's mark, and the caliber already pre-stamped there. I would assume that the ID markings would probably be some kind of 6 or 7 digit number. That would really have to be a "micro" stamp, and would probably last for a few shots before it was destroyed. Imagine trying to get anything on the base of a .22 cartridge. And then there is the question of what kind of mechanism would force the imprint. Would they be relying on the recoil to force the stamping action? It's not real surprising that the technology can't yet be achieved. It is likely that it never will. And the big question is what kind of new evidence would this supply. Are they expecting that some number is going to supply the name and address of the shooter? What percent of the time would that ever actually be the case. It might supply the name and address to the guy who legally bought the gun in the first place .... the robbery victim who had it stolen from him. Now there's a real useful piece of evidence. No, it is obvious that this is just yet another harassment law applied against legitimate gun owners and manufacturers. It's starting to get real blatant now. It's more of an "in-your-face" kind of law than anything aimed at crime prevention.

Most of the pigeons were taken with pellet guns but some taken with the 12 gauges. Lots of shooting good day in the field. Farmer is happy

Thursday was Chinese New Years. It is now the Year of the Horse. It isn't a coincidence.

Thanks Zag... Split the saw comes out tomorrow am...so much cutting to do..need to open some more oak up way to many Y trees that need one side cut and others that have already split and need cutting out...plus more bkl locust posts to cut for drying....Also dying beech from canker...need to come down before they are too dangerous to cut...

Hope Broncos Payton deserves another ring....IMO Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

I think they just test for intelligence, not common sense......

Could it have been the scope? I also have a BAR, mine's an .06, but have never had any issues with it at all and in fact its a damn good shooter.

Curious why and how you would come up with a question like that? They are hounds, pets...not like those other breeds.

And his products are GREAT!!!

Thank God this is about turkey calls! Scarey moment when I thought I might have to endure Dee Snider again. Once in a lifetime was enough!! LOL

Wing Supply has several turkey calls and strikers on sale with free shipping.http://www.wingsupply.com/categories/closeout-closet/closeout-game-calls.html

This sucks for you guys! I bought a lifetime in 09 so i don't have to deal with all this crap.

I could be wrong, but it looks like we would save money with the new licensing. I keep coming up with $72 for all hunting privileges, not including trapping.
