Venison tenderloin started in a cast iron pan with butter to sear. Finished on grill. Two filets were topped with blue cheese. Balsamic onions,mushrooms, and garlic cloves sautéed as a side. Baked potato and corn.

Sure wish they would give crossbows full inclusion though.

That's another reason sardines are good for you. Being such a short-lived fish, they don't store the contaminants such as mercury, pcbs and other junk like big fish do. It is much more of a danger with large, long lived species like swordfish or the bigger tuna species.

All of this kind of nonsensical legal proposals are simply additions to the campaign of gun owner harassment. None of them will have any impact on gun crime and they all know it. They are interested in gun control, not crime control, and don't let them fool you about that.

I only built about a dozen basses and 2 dozen guitars. Only one instrument is unaccounted for that I'm aware of, and the vast majority of them are still in use in the Buffalo area. I think Rob Derhak was using one of mine when he was featured in Bass Player magazine several years ago, but it's not likely that anyone would remember my company. This is a simple Strat-style body I did for a friend who is now the master distiller at the Buffalo Distillery.

Crossbow needs to be given a trial period for all of bow season or I'm for full use all of bow season . Come on ...not just 2 weeks

I love turkey hunting, but to me it's a sport that I do little prep for. For new properties I'll walk them once or twice in early to mid april and look for roosting trees and small openings and fields where I can setup. But what I really enjoy about turkey is getting in early, setting up in the dark and calling for a little during light. Then I can get up and move and try some locators or move to other spots. I'm not a spot and stalk deer guy so I really enjoy "scouting as I hunt" style to turkey.

What I stated was in no way narrow minded. Listen here Chief you shouldn't blame those who take the risk to become entrepreneurs and actually succeed in their endeavors and subsequently become rich for the losers who for whatever reason decide not to take any chances and as a result are making peanuts in comparison. Explain to me how it is fair to tax success and reward mediocrity. I am all ears. If you can lay out a convincing argument then I may be persuaded to believe your view, but until that is the case taking money from one group to give to another is completely absurd. It's something called personal responsibility, I suggest this country starts to learn about it. You Can't Beat My Meat!

Well I have news! I got married! My wife is going to be surprised but it is what it is how is this related to this thread? I'm drunk.

No worries, the dow seems to be taking care of removing itself.

My honor I offered, My offer she honored, So all night long it was honor, offer, honor, offer, honor, offer...

The DEC is saying no change in the deer regulations for up to the next 5 years, and the possible removal of the doe only reg. in some WMU’s. That’s ok with me.

My favorite spots are bedding and browsing thickets but antlers can turn up anywhere. There's no right or wrong way to look for antlers as long as you're out there looking. You know the deer habits in your area probably better than anyone can tell you on a forum like this. Follow the heaviest sign to and from bed to feed and every trail in between. I like to think I have a "fast eye", meaning that I can identify an antler with just a quick glimpse against all the clutter on the forest floor. I zip along at a pretty good pace now. Starting out you may need to take your time and really pick apart every nook and cranny for that one piece of that jumps right out at you. Good luck!

Had one of these but our November storm wiped it out But on a serious note I think Wooly will offer some great info. I only stumble on maybe one a year by dumb luck. Here's one I found a couple of years ago. I looked intensely for the other half but no luck

I like them from time to time. I can get tired of them quick though if I eat more than once or twice a month. No fancy flavors or brands for me..., just straight up minnows in their own natural coffin and embalming fluid,lol

Whenever I go to Walmart (as inoften as possible) I buy a bag full of matchbox/hotwheels and give one to my nephew every time I see him. Now whenever I see him he comes running and give me a big hug followed by...Uncle Chris...do you have anything for me?

Good,as for doe only,it doesn't effect me but change it back, as for full inclusion of x bow legislation required doesn't come from dec, write and call your representatives!the Never cared for ar's but the people that have them seem to be happy with them so let them stay there...

Betcha my hotwheels is faster than your matchbox.

Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here...with a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is!

Must suck to get the whole 54 yards from someone. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

"The whole ten yards" is another old military phrase… Not as old as this one tho. During WWII fighter planes were armed with 50 cal machine guns. The belts of ammo for those guns were 10 yards long. If I pilot really ripped into an enemy plane, he would give it "the whole ten yards" (of ammo) or he all he had.

Every sailing ship had to have cannon for protection. Cannon of the times required round iron cannonballs. The master wanted to store the cannon-balls such that they could be of instant use when needed, yet not roll around the gun deck. The solution was to stack them up in a square based pyramid next to the cannon. The top level of the stack had one ball, the next level down had four, the next had nine, the next had sixteen, and so on. Four levels would provide a stack of30 cannonballs. The only real problem was how to keep the bottom level from sliding out from under the weight of the higher levels. To do this, they devised a small brass plate ("brass monkey") with one rounded indentation for each cannonball in the bottom layer. Brass was used because the cannonballs wouldn't rust to the "brass monkey", but would rust to an iron one. When temperature falls, brass contracts in size faster than iron. As it got cold on the gun decks, the indentations in the brass monkey would get smaller than the iron cannonballs they were holding. If the temperature got cold enough, the bottom layer would pop out of the indentations spilling the entire pyramid over the deck. Thus it was, quite literally, "cold enough to freeze the balls off a "brass monkey. "

All you have to do is take them some place fancy like Olive Garden and you're in.

Dang Eddie, the stone and now the hernia. Didn't you read your maintenance manual. You should have gone in for an oil change miles ago, lol. Sorry couldn't resist. Get well soon.

After working outside on summer weekends, it was common for my dad to set down in the evening, break-up a slice of bread into a coffee cup, pour in a half cup of milk, and open a can of sardines. Alternating between a bite sardine and a spoon of bread and milk, he was a happy man. He occasionally shared a sardine or two with me and I'd have my cup of bread and milk as well. I thought it was okay then and 2 or 3 times a year I'll do the same even how. In fact I just put sardines on my grocery list. Thanks for the inspiration.

Yeah Growie...I used to go mating a lot in years past too ..Unfortunately, like smelting, THOSE days are over...<<sigh>>... What is "love melt"....Sounds kinda kinky....<< big wide SMILE >>...

and yet again. Where are you addressing the Government mandate to meet specific demographic goals, regardless of theirpersonal financial stability.

Have only hunted the same woods for quite some time now. So haven't needed to scout. Apparently I found the perfect set up years back. Two fields connected by a pinch path. Here's my tree from which I killed my last 13 birds.

I don't see a reason to have them now. Someone who is going to do illegal things, isn't going to have their back tags on anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A couple of my hunting buddies put theirs on their back packs too. I just play musical chairs with my back tag on my jackets and vests during the time of year when i'm hunting multiple species on rotation each week lol

You having a backtag on isn't once ever going to stop a ECO from interrupting a hunt.

I love them! I get the kind that's skinless, boneless and in olive oil. I like to mash them up and add balsamic vinegar, chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley and sea salt that I brought over from the area my family is from in Montenegro. I'll eat it twice a week if I can. Great source of protein for after the gym and omega 3's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love sardines. Any brand, although I bough a cheap brand a few times,( can't remember the brand but the can had a blue label) They were way too big and boney. They looked like something they throw to the seals at marine world. I like those canned Kipper snacks too.

LOL grampy...you need to find a better quality sardine!

This is what you will see from me in response to uncalled for nasty posts....be them at me or others...this will be to the attempted derailing posts. Now all I can ask is Other members out there that are tired of what a few have been doing and even sucking others into, I now see some get it, will join me in this. Stop or Just stop...it's a powerful word, very difficult to argue with and if said enough times by enough people could stem the behaviors we are seeing. If it is seen and done enough times I see it as impossible that the point won't get across For the many pages of complaining of the nasty "BS" many have mentioned, I think this is the only solution thus put forth. I do hope you join me in trying. I do how ever understand exactly what the initial reaction will be taken to this idea, as do you...but I think those of you that want things to change will be able to get past it.

I go on lots of other sites.....Bowsite, Archerytalk, crossbow nation, dootalk just to name a few. I post on this one most often. It def happens on other sites. I don't understand why people get their panties in a wad over what someone they don't know says on the internet. I agree that its just immature but I just ignore them and never respond.

trapping is hunting. I'll say it for the final time because in the end it doesn't really matter anymore. I do not enjoy being a member of a site that condones hate speech. I'm catholic. I love my neighbor even if I don't agree with their views. I enjoy coming here to learn and talk about hunting. When I'm skimming the new content, I'm bothered that we as a minority group in NY will put up with topics such as: Nasa has Muslim outreach program... Justice Antonin Scalia DEAD - Liberals Celebrate, Claim He's Rotting in Hell Iran mocks captured US Navy sailors San Diego Plan To Ban The Term "Founding Fathers" Thwarted all on the first page. If a muslim in NY wants to get into hunting I welcome them to our heritage which is dwindling everyday. If a liberal wants to feel welcome at this site because they're a hunter with stories and knowledge to spread then I want them too to feel welcome here. If you're too blind to see the blatent hate and negativity some hunters are spreading here than my time typing this is lost. Everyday we lose young hunters to iphones, videogames and tv. Everyday we're losing hunting land to developments, everyday we're losing public land access and having the DEC regulate out forms of hunting we once knew and love. Everyday we lose more and more of our gun rights. So why again I ask you, do we want to further splinter a group needing to be tighter and more unified than ever? Or as one member suggested, start a new hunting ny forum. So you ask then, Belo. Why even come to this site? I've tried leaving because of this nonsense, but I have a strong passion for hunting and enjoy this place for 95% of what it offers. I hope it's clear my passion to remove or at least remove the political section from the main feed is based on my desire to keep this place growing and a source for uniting hunters. I have very strong political views. Many of which is shared by the 3 muskateers. But this isn't the place to copy and paste them. I come here to talk hunting. otherwise http://lmgtfy.com/?q=new+york+political+forum

Personally, I try to get as much as intel as possible from other hunters before I try a new spot, I've found enough spots over the years that generally hold birds, that I'm not really looking to go in cold and try a new area unless I want a change of scenery. But when I was actively scouting new areas in the past, I would look for leaves scratched up, dusting bowls, footprints, and feathers. I've gone as far as driving back roads, finding birds in a field, and asking the farmer/landowner for permission (you'd be surprised how many will let you, as long as you're not after deer). The best scouting of all is to get into an prospective area way before sunlight, and just listen, the birds will let you know where they are about 1/2 hour before the sun rises. Roosting with an owl call or box call right at sundown sometimes works, and gives you a good idea where to start the next morning.

Getting married didn't stop me from buying toys. Having children does. Hard for me to justify dropping thousands on a rifle and then turn around and complain about it isn't worth the money to send a 2 year old to school.

Tommy, I'm an advocator of shooting, shooting, and more shooting. I know you've made some shots out west that really reached out there, probably more so than anyone that hunts NY exclusively would ever dream of making, but shooting and getting familiar with your firearms is paramount to accuracy and safety. With that said, I always try to practice like I'm hunting, and hunt like I'm practicing. Aside from bench rest shooting to develop a load, I try to shoot free-hand as often as I can.

You know Ants, I was thinking it's walking into a Christian Church. How would the Muslim world view it. When there is a Issue that could unite Obama always chooses Division. Every move he makes, is calculated to undermine American Strength and Values. There's even a message in the things he don't do.

VJP , you are correct here...each belt of .50 cal was 27 feet long...If you used all your ammo, you gave 'em the whole 9 yards.. Of course, a P51 Mustang had six .50 cals, each one with a 27 foot belt..
