Just don't start a Go-Fund-Me thread ! lol

Happy Happy Birthday to you, Have a beautiful day!

Thanks Paula and Grampy!! I am happy that I can celebrate with my family and friends, I am going on 3 yrs now lung cancer survivor and every day I am thankful that I'm here!!

Great job behind the video camera, the DSLR...., AND the gun! Perfect execution in every aspect especially documenting the "hawk feather" and LIVE field photo! I enjoy your vids as much as DWOD's and I have no affiliation or reason to get excited with either. Top notch stuff once again Mr.ABH!

Feel free to copy and send it in the them at the email address I documented on page 2 of this thread.

So you say the oil companies know what they are doing and we need less regulation, think again. Seems to be a reoccuring theme, when will we learn it's all about the profit not our health and as this article points out definately not about protecting the environment. Just another incident that didn't happen right Mr. VJP. No cantamination of our water right!!!

Mr. Schiavone, I am submitting comments toward the proposed antlerless harvest and DMAP regulations, which are open for comment through June 29, 2015. I am opposed to the antlerless-only designation for the first 15 days of the early archery season within the wildlife management units (WMUs) that are included within the proposal. I am also opposed to the antlerless-only modifications to the late archery and muzzleloader seasons within the same WMUs. There are many logical and scientific reasons for this opposition; however, here are some key factors that make the proposals a poor regulation to implement: Archery harvests represent a small fractional portion of the overall antlerless harvest across the various seasons and implements. This proposal eliminates opportunity for buck harvest, a major engagement to drive bowhunters into the field, while at the same time providing only a very minor increase in antlerless harvest. If a similar or in-kind proposal was made for the regular firearms season, this may be much more effective at attaining desired harvest levels. Additionally, with crossbow included in the back portion of the early archery season, this leaves roughly only 15 days with which vertical bowhunters have to harvest a buck without added hunting pressure. Muzzleloader hunting is a growing segment; however, such a regulation would likely limit this growth and may result in contraction of the muzzleloading hunting population. Some of the units within this proposal have recently moved to rifle allowance, reducing the use of muzzleloaders in the regular season where it was chosen over shotgun use. Pair this with zero opportunity for a potential buck harvest within the late muzzleloader season, there will be a reduced desire to go afield during the late season, a time where inclement weather is likely. It also will reduce the justifications for owning and hunting with a muzzleloader for many sportsmen and women with the implement only being used for late season hunting on does, a very narrow window of opportunity. The added emphasis on antlerless during this time may also increase the likelihood of bucks that have shed their antlers being killed. I believe the units that need antlerless herd reduction should move to an over-the-counter method of issuing tags after the initial DMP draw. This allows tags to be obtained by hunters who are able and willing to fill them rather than simply providing them en masse to the hunting population within those units. After the two DMPs are filled, hunters should be able to go to an issuing agent and obtain one or two supplemental DMPs, with the process repeating until the DEC deems that no added tags should be issued. Rather than having second-chance drawings and consignments, this method will remove barriers to those who have access, the desire, and the ability to harvest additional does. Removing the limitations on capping doe harvest at the individual hunter level seems to be a plausible and reasonable management effort before making such drastic regulatory changes to the aforementioned seasons. Again, this change to over-the-counter is merely systematic; it does NOT reduce opportunity for sportsmen to take a buck for portions of the various seasons, and instead offers added benefits to hunter engagement and increases days afield for those who can fill the tags. In conclusion, I strongly oppose the antlerless-only designation for the first 15 days of the early archery season within the wildlife management units (WMUs) that are included within the proposal. I am also opposed to the antlerless-only modifications to the late archery and muzzleloader seasons within the same WMUs. Thanks,

All I know is that anytime you open up a thread started by VJP or Papist you not only leave NYS, but leave reality altogether. Then you enter into the.....

So, we just released our newest video and I'm really looking for some input on this one. I know that when I go online to watch turkey hunting videos, it is really hard to find something ill watch until the end. With this video we really tried to break the mold and get away from the typical "Come watch me kill something, loaded with ads and sponsor plugs" style that is out there. It's loaded with action but we really aimed to also be very informative. It's a different style so if you could, please take a few minutes to watch and let me know if you would watch more from us, or how you think we could make it better.

Paula, I believe that that was a voluntary remove from shelf space by stores...This was to give TenPoint time to review complaints and if they were user error...Now the Safety Counsel is involved. I haven't gone through the entire process yet...for my bow is stowed away and I need to get the Serial # to get to the next page...Will do that later. I'm hoping it's not like Remington and it needs to go back to factory...prefer it to be an easy bow tech. job at a local shop.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Hope it's filled with friends and family!

Sometimes we all just need to learn to adapt...Now I HATE yep HATE when at 4pm the kid down the road 1/2 to 1 mile away revs up the machine and screams up and down the road till sundown.....I think my mind may explode every morning when that stinking school bus has it's backup alarm go off ,shattering my quiet sit. Oh and I could just wring the neck of the dog and skin the owner, that lets it out at 5am to bark non stop until 8am every single day of bow season. That said, I welcome the sound of someone driving their short distance, to their stand on their machine. Because there I have sat quietly for 45mins or so already...I'm part of the woods and if they move the deer while on their little ride in...they just may be moving them toward me. When they leave before I do they just may move deer to me.... I look at it as yes.... I can complain about the kid...I had kids and that wasn't allowed...they had a track to go to and raced competitively...I have 3 dogs and by God knows, if they barked like that there would be Hell to pay. Actually there was when the deer decided to bed down next to the kennel...I bought bark suppressor. 1 week later they learned not to do that. The bus...... just life. Machines.... Well I can imagine that my running the tractor and the tiller for my plantings ,landscaping, hole digging ,trenching , my leaf blowing trails or just mowing the amount I mow, bugs the ppl around me...So who am I to complain about their motors running. I suppose if I managed to find a place where no people lived and somehow not in a fly zone of any kind, I could become very annoyed. The sounds of a pileated wood pecker,yipping howling coyote,crows well that is needless to say... So putting things in perspective is a better choice for me...Well for as much as my mind will allow for at least.

I don't think I have ever heard anyone say they enjoy the soothing roar of motorized vehicles echoing off the hills of an otherwise serene wooded valley .... lol. Heck, I don't enjoy the sound of chainsaws and skidders and somebody riding a motorcycle down the road. The drone of a tractor off in the distance or a plane flying overhead can be pretty annoying when you are straining to hear if there is a follow-up noise to that twig that you thought you heard snap. But, people do have the right to use all these things. Weed-eaters, leaf blowers and lawn mowers and other similar noisemakers are simply things that we have to accept. And the sound of ATV's have to get added to that list. Usually, when I hear an ATV somewhere off in the woods, I have no idea whether they are engaged in some arbitrary list of acceptable uses that I have developed. And in reality, it doesn't matter. If they believe that they have a want or need to drive that ATV on their property, it probably is no more my business than if they decide that it is time to mow the lawn or run their roto-tiller or whatever kind of noise-maker that they happen to be wanting to use. There has only been one place that I was ever at that was completely free of man-made sounds, and you wouldn't believe the crazy effort of canoeing miles and making long ugly portages required to get in there ..... lol. And then some big-mouthed loon was making an ugly ruckus that messed up all that peace and quiet .... ha-ha-ha. Let's face it, audio stimuli is just a part of life. You can complain about it, but you can't escape it. Not in this day and age.

Got on this huge group of birds before fly down time. The live hens didnt seem to interest the 3 gobblers as much as my calls and the hens actually followed them to my position which led me to believe most breeding has already occurred?? when the biggest one stepped into the 30yds zone I let him have a shwacker tipped arrow. He went 10yds and died with very little blood loss despite the huge holes the arrow left in and out at the base of the wings. Im guessing over 20lbs 10"beard 1"spur . Nice redemption after missing on May 2nd Carbon Express- Intercept Supercoil 175# Executioner arrows/Shwacker 100gr (425gr TAW) HS strut diaprham

Once again, issues with reading comprehension. If you see your neighbor is beating his wife and you call the police to report it, do you expect them to say they cannot investigate based on your call? Regarding Islamberg, there is enough evidence to warrant an investigation. A single call from a sissy neighbor claiming you have an AR in your house will have a SWAT team at your door rather quickly. It's a favorite chant of the left to be able to call the police and report on fellow citizens, and they seem to relish doing it, as often as they can, on neighbors they have political objections to, like gun owners. Don't tag me, or blame me for it.

Decided to give a turkey euro a try today. I didn't realize how many nuts and bolts were in one of these things. Fortunately I took LOTS of reference photos had some spare parts laying around in the bone pile just in case. I had to swap a few out that must have got misplaced or broken during the shootout. Still gotta add some finishing touches to it (nasal bones), but it's done for the most part. Most likely paint this one white. I'm not crazy about the look of bird skulls, but it was a fun/relaxing little project, and sure beat the heck out of mowing the grass......, again!

I will after the season closes. I was going to do it last year, but forgot about it. I have one in the freezer waiting now.

I've never heard of that happening before... My procedure for this is as follows... Spray clothing till damp really concentrating on the cuffs, zippers and waist/neck openings Put damp clothing in a plastic bag and remove air... Tie a knot in bag. Let it sit for 24 hours Remove clothing and let air dry outside... I find this method really saturates the clothing the best way possible... And I can honestly say since I've been doing this I have not found 1 single tick on me, the wife or my son...

Good excuse to buy a new one! Make sure you run it over when you're driving off to Cabelas to resist the temptation to keep it. That would have left a mark for sure.

How seriously can you take this nonsense when the DEC decided to discourage hunters from getting permits by charging for the applications. That is the old case of them talking out of both sides of their mouths.

I honestly believe that opening bow season to guns will happen. That issue of an early muzzle-loader season hasn't really gone away yet. I think the DEC regrets putting so much of the deer season in the hands of a bunch of buck hunters. I overheard a DEC person talking to a group of other DEC people call bowhunters a bunch of buck-hunters during a break at one of the public state-of-the-herd meetings. I am sure that the attitude at the DEC is that bow season is a waste of good deer harvesting time that could be used much more efficiently with firearms.

Well if bowhunters in general would take doe instead of waiting for a buck, ( I admit indo it as well) they wouldn't need to do anything since does are so much easier to kill..so dec responds : enter the crossbow let's get those brown and down gu n hunters involved in archery. They'll shoot anything! We have done this to ourselves as antlers have invaded the minds and hearts of traditional meat hunters. Yearlings can breed and trophy bucks cannot be stockpiled. But still we push for one buck rule antler restrictions, while we should be pushing for earn a buck rule, preference to hunters that fill antlerless tags, and general habitat improvements.

Are these all things that you did before turning tail and crawling out of the state in defeat? Did you withhold your payroll and property taxes as a protest before you ran away? Maybe all that stuff sounds so much better as advice for others than as actual deeds for yourself. It's much easier to run away than to follow your own advice, isn't it?

05/01 @ around 11:00 21 Lbs. 9.5 Inch Beard 1" Spurs had to leave another one gobbling yesterday, his last gobble to me was at 11:55...game over.

Simply stated. I couldn't have said it better.

I don't do face book or twitter

Based on the posted comments,,,,,, Im not even going to watch.,,,My Scum bag tolerance level is full for the month……..

Thanks guys! Sure... unplug your freezer and prop the door open so the bugs can get to work,lol Seriously, there wasn't much too it once the maggots and beetles cleaned everything up for me. Take plenty of pics before you dis-assemble the skull, and be very gentle with the delicate nasal bones inside the beak. Not that all will be lost if you break one.... I put everything back together with super glue anyhow, so a broken bone ain't no big deal. After I got everything picked and scraped off the bones, I gave them a bath in a tub of bleach for a few minutes then pulled them out to dry and whiten. Then I just put it all back together and gave it a paint job. I did a little reading up on the process before hand and heard it's best to degrease/whiten with acetone, but that was a bunch of taxidermists suggesting that. In "my studio", everything gets bleached and I never argue with the guy doing my work(me),lol Got the rest of the bones added to the inside today to get rid of that hollow skull look, and broke out the Rustoleum! Another masterpiece to my most important customer(me)!
