  1. When I was in grade school, my old man used to pay me and my sisters $0.01 for every complete worm harness we could bead, clevis, and blade, after dinner and before homework. He'd pre hand-tie 1000's of hooks on wire and monofilament, and crimp the sleeves on the line end. We usually made $5-$10 each/week and got FREE meals and lodging for our labor,lol. He also sold these to "Dustys" and many other tackle shops in the area, so I may have also indirectly had a hand in turkeyfeathers worms indirectly helping you catch a fish! Here's a few I stole from work for my own tackle box before I "retired"! I still keep a few in there un-open as a reminder of where I got my start. Some will call this my allowance..... but trust me, it was a job,lol

  3. It's like a broken record in here. You know what immigrants we don't like? Illegals. They don't respect us or our country otherwise they wouldn't break our laws in coming here. You know what other immigrants we don't like ? Ones that want to kill us, our family's and destroy our country. Unfortunately they tend to be Muslim extremists. To put your head in your ass and pretend otherwise is suicide for our future.

  4. It's hard for me too sympathize sometimes... When I was first married with a kid I worked three jobs to make ends meet... I didn't blame the rich, I just shut up and did what I had to do until I found something better.

  5. If you choose to use non lead ammo, that's fine. But trying to prevent anyone else from using it by force of law, ridicule or intimidation, is totalitarian. If venison donation programs are unhealthy because the deer are shot with lead, eliminate the programs with proof of contamination. (I think they tried doing that and got a lot of angry responses to it). I agree non lead is better and applaud anyone who uses copper, but I would never go so far as to condemn those who don't. Until more proof of effect is confirmed, and it's proven most raptors are killed by lead they ingest from hunter's bullets and not other lead sources, demanding nobody use lead ammo is a dangerous mindset. As an aside, if hunter's stop using ammo that kills raptors, but other raptor mortality factors are not addressed or given a pass, hunter's should not take that lightly. And if lead is to be banned, the folks who want it stopped bear the responsibility for whatever consequences occur from it afterwards. If supply cannot be met, or prices skyrocket, or the government decides no firearm hunting is safe at all, those who started the ball rolling should be the ones who are held accountable for their zealotry. Be mindful of the changes you think should be. A little extrapolation regarding the path created for the future may give you pause too.

  9. That's great Biz. I played with my gramps until he died at 97. Only person I personally know that shot lower than his age - 90 at 91 years old from the regular mens tees. He could only drive the ball 180yds on his best shot, but was always dead straight. Enjoy those moments while you can.

  11. Funny / ironic story. I would think that my fellow shed hunters would agree that finding a matched set is considerably harder than finding just a single side! So, my brother-in-law was in town for the weekend and we decided to do a little shed hunting (30 miles worth). I spot what appears to be a small piece of an antler. I walk over and investigate and see both sides basically laying on each other. I pick them up and shout over to my brother-in-law of my find. As he is walking towards me, and literally 10' from where I find mine, he stops and picks up another matched set....again, basically almost laying on each other. Granted, small deer, but 2 matched sets within 10' of each other. Crazy!

  13. Nope. I par boil for about 30 sec.Drain and then they go into a hot pan with a pad of butter, 1 tsp of olive oil and a half a clove of garlic, cracked black pepper and a dash of salt for about 2 minutes. Then I add a bit of grated Parmesan cheese.. Good stuff. Over cooked asparagus turns to slime ..

  15. I have used non lead, and would use it more, if not for the cost. Then there's the fact I spent years developing a really accurate hunting load for my rifle that I would really resist switching from. I also feel the greater terminal performance becomes an unnecessary expense that's not needed for whitetail hunting. As far as greater demand making copper bullets less expensive, I don't think spreading the production costs out over more quantity will do much to lower prices, especially when the cost of copper keeps rising. Bullet makers will be happy to sell whatever the market asks for, but they are in it to make money, not for charity. Besides, currently there are few bullet makers producing all copper projectiles and their production capacity is limited. Until more manufacturers got into, supply would be pinched, causing higher prices until supply caught up to demand.

  19. I have worked at Burger kings, Kmart, Marriott, Pudgies pizza, SugarCreeks. I worked at Gold circle, I made $96 a week and my rent was $80 a week. Seems like I bartended once or maybe I was just there a lot. I worked at a couple deli's also. I use to also do odd jobs, painting and cleaning. I did try babysitting but that didn't work out to well. I also use to finish furniture(Amish furniture), paint or stain. I was pretty good at that.

  21. I have a gay uncle whose first job was as a sock-tucker at a local hosiery mill. Then he got a job as a cork-socker in a barrel bunging factory. After that he got a job in a San Francisco bath house. I don't know WHAT he did there.

  23. From age 6 or so, I had some pretty heavy chores to do around the farm. Feeding and watering the sheep. Water had to be wheeled up to the barn from the house in a milk can in a wheelbarrow. Haying (I was the little guy up in the mow tramping in the loose hay when it was dropped off the overhead hay forks. There were all kinds of household jobs to be done too. For that I got a $1.00 a week allowance. Don't laugh, that financed my trapline which in turn bought clothes. The first off-property job was at age 12, and it was filling and tying bags of wheat on the combine, and picking berries. 1st picking was $.08 per quart. Last picking was $0.10 a quart. I don't remember what I was making bagging grain, but I did ok. Oh, and the farm chores at home were still being done for $1.00 a week.

  24. I have always used RemOil it seems to do a good job. You would want something thin, and not get stiff in cold weather, and not gum up. I do not remember the name of the oil , haven't seen it since the mid 80's it was great, it even had Teflon in it.

  26. It isn't only those who want safer bullets who have an agenda. You guys talk before you even know what you are talking about. Read Grouse's post #32 and Shawnhu's #34. You guys just jump to conclusions. You don't know. You don't ask. You just jump. There is a ton of information out there. Read. Minnesota is the other state that shut down its VDP after testing its meat. I know of no other states that do testing. They don't want to know. Try to get some data from the NYS VDP. Good luck with that. I have been told that if they test, it opens up a liability can of worms. Let's all stick our heads in the sand. ND now recommends that children 5 and under, and pregnant women, eat no wild game killed with lead. None! I was told this warning is now on the donated venison packages. What is blown out of proportion is your reactions.We are talking a few bucks for better performance, safer food and no scavenger fatalities. You are not willing to make wise choices but why do you object to giving people information to make better choices? You guys can eat all the lead you want. I don't care. You can even feed it to your kids. But, don't give it to poor people and pretend you are doing them a favor.

  27. Drove little atv thing with hydraulic rakes in the back in sand traps for slouches who didn't rake their footprints ( golf course ). Also changed hole locations on greens. Man , I put some doozies out there when the greens were running fast My dad was superintendent of golf course I worked at for 43 years. While working there and playing golf there I knew every inch of grass there. Ended up club champion 7 of 10 years and then quit golf entirely. No idea what I got paid , long time ago At the time I'd go pick night crawlers off the tees at night. Good pick was 1000 at 5 cents per. They'd be so easy to grab all stretched out with the short grass and sprinklers on Sold to Dustys bait n tackle in Depew on Transit rd for those who remember of that place. Ha , I may have helped you indirectly catch fish ?!

  30. I'm using a 26" barrel on my present (and hopefully last) turkey gun. As a matter of fact, my previous gun was also 26". Those two guns go back 30 years now.......before that it was probably 28". Never have I said, "dang, I wish I had another 100fps". If a gobbler gets away it's usually my fault...........

  34. You are arguing against a ban. I am arguing for people to voluntarily switch. There are compelling reasons for deer hunters to use copper bullets: human health ( yes you can mitigate how much lead is in your meat by butchering yourself but did you get it all? Probably not.); wildlife health; and, better terminal performance. How many of you who do not use monolithic bullets for deer hunting are willing to switch? If not, why not?

  36. I bought a box of Rio Bismuth for turkey hunting. Because I got them at a local shop it was $40 for ten shells. Just feel that's pretty steep IMO. I used two to get a pattern and the rest will be for shooting at game not paper. I had a Dr. appointment today and on the way home I decided to hit Wally-World. They have the Winchester Super-X steel shot on rollback for $6 a box, so I picked one up in #6 to see how they work in my shotgun. I have nothing against anyone who uses non lead ammo, nor lead ammo for that matter. I do agree 100% on no lead for water fowl do to how much it effects all living creatures around the water. You shoot, pellets that miss end up in the water and it effects the fish, frogs etc. .

  38. Yes really. Very lame. I never claimed all Europeans were good. You just made that up. I was asking what group poses a bigger threat, to the U.S. and the world than Muslim extremists. What other group has slaughtered more people recently than Muslim extremists? You won't answer that. Instead you bring up the constitution and immigration and try to label people. When it comes to a large group of scum, murdering people I don't care what ethnic or religious group they belong to. They are scum. And why are you even responding to political topics??? Stop picking and choosing which political topics you want to join in on and which ones you want to whine about.

  42. 100 fps don't mean s**t in a shot load...Probably 200 fps doesn't mean much either... Anything from around 1000 fps UP is fine, and the load that gives the densest, most evenly dispersed pattern is the best. My 21 " bbl on my 11-87 kills them just as well as the 30" bbl on my Browning A-5 3" mag did, and it's a lot easier to haul around the woods.

  43. In the early 60s I worked at several different local farms for 50 cents an hour.. In the summer of '67 I worked for Steuben County clearing land for a county park for $1.50 an hour. In '68 I got a job as a grocery clerk at the local A&P store for $1.80 per hour.. From 1971 to 1973 I worked for Uncle Sam...Can't remember what I made there.. In 1974 I went to work for Corning Glass Works as a lab assistant for $130 per week.. Retired from there in 2004..

  44. When I was 14 (2002) I started helping my uncle's construction company once or twice a week to lay blacktop for $5.00/hr during my summer vacation. I ended up working for him full time the next 3 summers doing more blacktop, grading driveways, remodeling apt houses, etc until I graduated high school. Each summer that I came back, I was given an extra $1/hour. It was good hard work that helped me decide that I wanted to pursue a career in construction so I when I graduated HS, I went to college and received a bachelors degree in civil engineering. I'm now a project engineer/estimator for a construction company in the town I live in and working towards my professional engineering license as we speak.
