  4. Removing a object is meaningless, the hate remains, this is feel good lib bs.. if we ban and remove everything then it goes away,kind of like sticking your head down a gofer hole. Again great leadership in action, so now what they pose with rainbow unicorn flags and we need to remove those. Sad .. very sad., same reason if you agree with them removing the flag, you might as well give them your gun ,as I see them pose with those symbols of hate as well...

  5. just think about all the Country Music Artists who have used the Confederate Flag for many many years, on album covers, t-shirts, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, drink holders, key chains and any other type of memorabilia you can think of, not to mention it being in song lyrics, without it EVER being considered racist or hateful by the vast majority..........and all it takes is one incident to send everyone into a tailspin.

  6. I would elaborate slightly on the trigger speed commentary. It's just perpetuating a marketing gimmick that trigger speed is the only thing that results in capturing game on cam. A slow trigger with a matched FOV/sensing area will perform better than a fast trigger with a wide sensing area not matched up with the FOV. Also this needs to be taken into account when mounting a cam high - not all cams perform well mounted high due to the sensor/trigger/FOV combo. Secondly, the scent on the cam itself, while I was a big proponent of using "kids gloves" when setting and handling cams a long time ago, I rarely worry about it. Ditch the strap if you can and move to screw in mounts (where legal and permission given), and don't worry too much about the scent on the actual cam. Scent on rigid plastic isn't really a concern. Plus, the scent bomb you just laid down actually intruding is going to do more damage than any scent via the cam will.

  7. I just got around to reading the latest NY Outdoor News, it seems that they have come to the conclusion that there is "No regulatory solution that is going to make all hunters happy"................holy crap, how much time, effort and money was dumped into figuring that out?

  8. There is just so many better ways to challenge yourself that don't increase the odds of a wounded and non-recovered deer. Maybe hold out for a deer of a certain age or antler size, or try and hit the heart or center-lung every time. The kill zone on a deer with a .22/250 may be less than half the size it is with the top contenders like a .30/06, .270, or .308. Those slower, heavier bullets will also power thru unseen branches and bones much better. I do like my 22/250 a lot but I love venison and it would be tough knowing that I failed to get some because I was under-gunned when I had far more capable weapons to pick from. I imagine those who love antlers would feel the same way about that.

  13. The stamp is now officially released! You can get the self-adhesive (shown above) from most post offices (call first, some don't carry it) and sporting goods counters. If you are a collector and prefer the gummed style, you can order them: http://www.fws.gov/birds/get-involved/duck-stamp/buy-duck-stamp.php If you want an artist-signed stamp and aren't local, get in touch with me and I will help you out! We're also having a hometown event to celebrate the stamp release here in NY. It will be in the Olean/Westons Mills/Portville area on July 18th. It's free and open to the public, and we'll have special cancellations available, signing, and some pretty nice raffles. Bass Pro donated a bunch of really nice stuff to this so we have stuff like a nice trailcam, a nice goose call, some hunting gear, etc. Cutco also donated a really nice hunting knife.

  14. If I recall correctly, the Confederate flag was taken down from the SC statehouse in 2000 after a liberal protest called for it's removal. It was moved from there to the Confederate Soldiers monument on the SC statehouse lawn. That's the flag they are demanding removal of now. It's the old, "Give them an inch...." problem.

  15. Morgan Freeman said it best when asked how do you stop racism,"stop talking about it" mike Rowe also said it well , removing a flag is only removing our rights, removing does not remove the hate , though if you think it does, then where do the bans and removeal of your rights stop..

  18. There are some big freaking deer in the Bergen Swamps. Letchworth is also feasible for you...shoot on down 390. I would think you might open some doors being a pre-med college kid who hunts and has his head on straight. Be respectful in your approaches and I bet you could land some private ground with a little effort.

  19. man this thread really does do a lot to perpetuate the stereotype we hunters get. some of you should be ashamed. It strikes me odd that those who oppose gay marriage are also supporting the confederate flag, which clearly is a symbol of slavery and racism whether you feel it should be or not. 90% of you wouldn't say any of what you're typing on your keyboards to a black or gay person's face and that's the other truly sad part.

  25. I can't respond to everything but today I will indulge you. 1 - Because they are very likely to have a different point of view. Actually, a different reality - possibly more different than VJP's and Curmudgeon's. 2 - Yes. It seems apparent some do. 3 - I don't know about white guilt. Or privilege for that matter. It isn't a factor in my life. I do think it odd that a lot of white guys are arguing what about what this means while people whose experience we probably cannot understand are silent on this forum. My maternal ancestors were Irish - considered non-white at that time. They were disposal people used for dangerous work. They were valued less than slaves. When they were maimed or died no investment was lost. My "self-perceived white privilege" sees the remains of those navvies mouldering in the ground.

  28. i need a small dry spell so I can take down the canopy tent from my son's graduation party, which it rained for of course as it was suppose to be a backyard event, Since it was cool and cloudy for the last two days, it didn't dry at all, then it rained again last night. On the plus side, have barely watered the garden this year - keeps the water bill down.

  30. it's not uncommon for a loosing side to have their flag flow by the victors! I believe some of the battle fields from the revolutionary war fly British flags on the graves of fallen British soldiers. In fact, I think Ticonderoga has or had British graves with British flags. There were also German spys (Nazi’s) executed during WWII that have Germany flags flying over their graves, I believe these Germans are buried outside of Washington DC. The rebel battle flag in SC was being flown at a war monument.

  32. I have considered the confederate flag as a symbol of prejudice well before these current events, but you do make a very valid point. In my honest opinion the biggest culprit to all this is the President of the United States Barak H. Obama. Instead of race relations getting better in this country they have gotten considerably WORSE since he has been in office. He has fools like Al Sharpton frequent the White House way too often, and all of them together have just fanned the flames to all this. Who would have thunk it? The first black president gets elected and all hell starts breaking loose with race relations. Obama could have capitalized on all this and taken the high road (most especially since he is bi-racial), but instead he took the low road. Very sad, and I can assure him and anyone else who agrees with his methodology that white Americans will not soon forget what his tactics have been. If he thinks that this will somehow raise the status of blacks in this country, he is sadly mistaken. Don't really care if anyone thinks these comments have racial overtones or not, but they are the simple truth here.

  36. Think on this, they want us to do exactly what we are doing, when people feel they can not say anything or do anything for fear of retaliation of offending someone of another race...they will retreat and segregation will form its own groups..it will be a reaction. This is not helping diversity but will only create segregation on commonality Humans <---stupid

  37. The short answer to this question is NO, don't do it if you have a bigger gun to use. No doubt that it will kill a deer if you put your bullet in the right place, on that we all agree. I do admit that I have struggled with not using my own Ruger, M77 22-250 on deer. I have never missed on a "live" target with that gun and every animal ended up dead. Just a few weeks ago, I watched a chuck struggle about 5 feet, with its guts trailing behind, when my shot was a little too far back. I then grabbed my Ruger, 10/22 rim-fire to head shoot it. It was handy, the bullets were cheaper, and I felt sorry for the struggling animal. With a total of over a hundred chucks, foxes, and coyotes, that was the first time a second shot was needed to dispatch one quickly. I have to agree with the guy who questions the logic of challenging oneself by making it harder to kill a deer cleanly. Our family practically lives on venison and to loose some because of a dumb move like that would hurt me bad. If you have a .308 available, stick with it, for it is close to the perfect round for deer. I would call it # 3 after # 2 (.270), and #1 (30/06). The 22-250 would be very close to last place as an "adequate" deer rifle with hundreds of better choices available. That certainly qualifies it as a "dumb" move if nothing else. I apologize in advance if I have offended anyone here with my opinions but they are what they are.

  44. can somebody explain to me why people are even using the confederate flag as their avatar? or supporting it all of a sudden in public? i mean, the flag represents the south (which we aren't from, I'm guessing) and the confederacy LOST the war. what personal attachment does anyone even have to it? Im going to guess that the majority of us are new immigrants to this country within the last century, who immigrated most likely a northern city. so what is the attachment to the flag? just curious.

  47. If you're bottomed out you have a bad scope or your mounting system is is off. (thank you Captain obvious LOL) Have someone check the rings and bases and +2 on the bore sight. If The gear on the rifle is old and cheap, just cut to the chase and start over with newer better stuff.

  48. I'm in the same boat as you. This will be my first out west hunt DIY. I was selected for a Wyoming deer tag. Looking forward to it. Had to apply by end of May, out-of-state deer tags were $330. Plan to just camp for the week and day pack the hunts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
