  1. Yeah, I know several people who have seen numerous pumacougars..A couple of them were even SOBER. The hard part is trying to keep a straight face when they tell me about it. I usually just smile and NOD....

  2. I do have to admit when I was younger I did have a couple encounters with a cougar. She got a hold of me and dam near killed me. I almost die with a smile on my face.

  5. The lack of physical evidence, combined with the unreliability of observers makes it unlikely there are ever more than an occasional wanderer.

  7. There are more alleged sightings in NY then in states that have documented, huntable populations. In spite of these "sightings" no one has ever produced/posted a verifiable bit of actual evidence - picture, scat, dna, hair, etc. Seems the NY version has the ability to be invisible on camera, walk floating above ground, and never leave a hint of their physical presence. The only evidence left was by the one killed in Ct by a car that was tracked from out west. One of the dumb ones unlike it's NY relatives.

  11. I happened to be passing through Ilion, NY yesterday and stopped at the Remington museum/company store. They had about 15 no-name, unbranded, 3-9x (32 mm objective) scopes from China for sale with rings for $20. I had to pick one up for that price. Unused, but no box or paperwork with them. The girl at the counter didn't know anything about them, but said she did know that there wasn't anything wrong with them, they were most likely clearing obsolete inventory. I probably wouldn't put it on anything bigger than a .22 or .17. I didn't need it, but for $20, I figured why not?

  16. this pic was taken in Williamsville, non hunting area. I know there was an almost totally white 6 pointer in the area a few years ago, and I've seen a couple of piebald deer in the area, but this deer looks black and white. Anyone ever seen anything like this?

  19. My guns go through hell up in the ADK especially if it rains. Simply put I need a stainless steal composite gun for that area. 2 weeks in high humidity is simply bad for metal parts. I try to clean the barrel every 40-50 rounds or if I notice poor accuracy or 2 range shoots. I try to keep them oiled but rust is always an issue. I usually run 10 or more patches of cleaner along with dry patches down the barrel and then last but not least is an oil patch. I use Q-tips and old tooth brushes for the fire mechanism and smaller moving parts by the action. Another reason I do not worry so much about scent, my guns stink of gun oil.

  23. I put it in a small metal box, pour molten steel into it. Close up the box. Then I buy a portable hole and a rocket from Acme Inc. Make sure you get from Wile-E and not Bugs. Drop box into the hole. Peal the hole from the floor, fold it up and lock it into a second metal box. Attach this box to the rocket. Shoot the rocket towards Mars. Marvin the Martian will then blast the rocket into smithereens with his laser. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  25. Rain isn't going to do much to it. The data is still there. But most people simply over panic about it. It up to $2000-3000 to recover all data from a broken hard drive. No one is going to drop that kind of money just to see if you MAY have something on that hard drive unless you're a valued target like a CEO, a terrorist leader, or a celebrity.

  32. I have to disagree with Shawn. Not only is driving deer and bear legal in NY, but at one time it was the the "standard" method of hunting, at least if the southwestern part of NY. Much of the land was agricultural at that time and landowners would get together parties of 20 or more hunters and drive large areas for deer. In later years, since much of the land has become broken up into smaller parcels for recreational use, driving is not as practical as it once was. Some public lands have specific regulations, but if there is any regulation against driving deer on public land, I am unaware of it. Welcome to the forum and good luck !

  35. After verifying the zero before hunting season, I do not clean the bores of my rifles. A clean bore can shoot to a different POI than a fouled bore, sometimes as much as an inch or more @ 100yds. After the season I run a dry patch through the bore, then I use "Wipeout" until all copper is removed, usual 2 or 3 applications will get it all.. No scrubbing, just plug the chamber W/a patch, spray into the muzzle for about 1 second & keep the nozzle tight against the muzzle until the foam expands, filling the bore. Let it set for an hour or so & wipe the bore W/a patch. Re[peat until no more blue comes out on the patch. After that I oil the bore W/G-96 gun treatment & put them away.

  46. Maybe I wouldn't have dreaded sighting in the old Ithaca 12 Ga. so much if I had been using a Lead sled. Now, I don't have any guns that punish me that much, so I use the open set-up with sand bags for checking out the rifles. As far as repeatability, I have 100% confidence in the bags.

  47. I would say that they would be great for load development, but "sighting in"? Are you guys going to carry the lead sled around while you are hunting? I wouldn't expect a weapon to shoot to the same POI from the shoulder/bags as W/the lead sled. I sight in over bags W/my left hand holding the forearm on top of the bag and another bag under the toe. The recoil should be the same as when I shoot off the rails of the stand. Recoil affects POI.
