I'm trying to believe that your just being an antagonist with your post's, because no one could be that stupid and ignorant to write what you wrote and believe it. As a small business owner for the last 20+ years with 8 employees, I actually watch the numbers like a hawk and I can tell you that in the last 4 years, I was able to hire two full time workers, buy equipment to make my business grow and move into a bigger shop, in spite of the ACA and environmental BS tax's added from the Obama years. Not to mention my employees and my retirement accounts doubled. I'm far from rich and I worked my ass off to get where l am and I can tell you your post is total bullshit. I guess it was just a coincidence that it all started after Feb 2016 ? You know Cuomo's way to balance the budget, run the debt up to $68 billion, shut down the states economy and borrow $50 billion from the hard working American tax payers, from states that actually balance their budgets. Your talking about that type of budget balancing ?

Another example of the tolerant socialist left. Don't mix Grouse with the tactics of your fellow comrade's BMM, this is still America, where we still have a rule of Law. I know your just following orders from Biden, Harris, Pelosi and Schumer and I would say that your actions are the result of their constant acidic and inciting hate rhetoric that they've been spewing over the last year. According to your Masters, that would be an impeachable offense, Right ? Now I know where they got the Borg story line on Star Trek, they just followed the rules of the progressive socialist handbook. Assimilate or die.

Another TM15 video. At base mag, it has a wide FOV, that's perfect for spotting critters in close quarters and wooded terrain.

Here's another doe at 25 yards. I didn't see the other doe's head to the left in the first couple of seconds till I reviewed the footage. This is an awesome monocular and beat NV or any light that's out there.

Here's a short video of a doe at 50 yards. Clarity looking through it is way better than the video.

The other dimwitted blue state Gov's did it because Cuomo was considered the leading expert on dealing with Covid at the time, even though NY state had more deaths than any other state and was on a total lock down. If your a Democrat, it makes total sense, if your a sane person, you'd say otherwise. Gov Desantis of Fla was saying otherwise and put the nursing homes and elder care facilities on lockdown, not the state and they chastised him for months. He has a state full of the most vulnerable and the numbers are half of NY state. The numbers don't lie, unless you hide those numbers. Desantis has a backbone and proved that what Cuomo and the other idiots did was murder.

Merica !!!

The worst part of this BS, is that Governors from other states followed the King's edict and killed thousands of seniors in their states too, only adding to the Kings death toll. Well, what do you think the king was going to do to all of the seniors that were part of the "Not So great" generation ? Ted Bundy had better morals than the King.

The problem with legalization, is that the addicts aren't working a job to get their fix, their stealing, robbing, mugging and sometimes killing others to get the money to get their fix and then they blame the drugs in the end anyway. How is the war on drugs going to work, if they don't penalize the offenders ? No bail seems to be working great for the criminals, not so great for their victims. Maybe if we just supplied the addicts with drugs, then they wouldn't have to commit crimes to get it and we could all dance in a circle singing kum bah yah all day ?

You cannot compare a red light or even night vision to a thermals capabilities. Thermal has it's limitations, as it cannot see through brush, glass, or walls. Most midrange thermals can detect out to and past 1,000 yards. What the blob is at 1,000 yards is the question, but you know there's something alive there. The more you spend, the better the resolution and that will enable you to take longer shot's. I'm going to be receiving an AGM Taipan TM15 monocular this Tuesday. After testing and evaluating their 160 and 384 unit's, I bought a TM15 for my own personnel use. I've recommended the AGM ASP Micro TM384 monocular to many and all that have purchased one have been more than happy with those units. For now, you can get a thermal monocular for spotting and use the red light for engaging targets. I would then save up for a Bering optics Super hogster, or the R35 hogster, if you don't want to record your hunt's. As of now, those two scopes offer the best bang for your buck and have been field proven. Though it can be done, You don't want to be using your rifle scope for double duty as a scope and spotter. It's not safe, especially if it's mounted on the rifle and your pointing at objects you don't ever want to point a loaded rifle at. Check out those and other unit's in your price range before making a decision.

But the American Taxpayers got screwed again, so it wasn't a big loss to the left, right ?

I figured there might be some activity before yesterdays crappy weather was supposed to roll in, so I also did some snow shoe recon. There was no coyote activity at all here too. Some old deer sign and only saw red squirrels moving in the pines. The snow wasn't that friendly, as it melted and then froze, so there's a thin crust of ice on top, not like the snow upstate. I think the yotes have found more friendly areas to hole up in and won't be out until they get real hungry. It's going to be mayhem when/if this weather breaks.

I've been shooting/hunting with 28ga shotguns for a long time, though never for turkey. While I haven't shot an ATI O/U, I've shot many Turkish made O/U's and have been using a Turkish made Mossberg silver reserve 28ga as a clays trainer for years now. The ATI has very positive reviews on all of the site's I've checked, so have fun with it and hopefully we'll see some pics of it with a dead turkey this spring.

Part sarcasm and part scenario, as in, the NY state Dems would legalize marijuana to get the revenue from the sales and also keep their serf's stoned, so they can stay in power. I have nothing against Marijuana, if used responsibly. My wife took edibles to help her deal with her cancer treatments and we had to go through hoops to get it. If it was legal, she would've been able to get it quicker and suffered less. The avalanche was an analogy. Once the censorship snowball starts gaining momentum , it wipes out everything in it's path, friend and foe alike. It's best not to go down that route, as it always ends badly for everyone.

Au contraire, My post went over your head grasshopper. You could learn something from an old man, as I've been around this planet and have seen how this starts with a snowball and ends in an avalanche, in some cases. It all starts with harmless suggestions, like "take your political thoughts elsewhere." Once the censorship cat is out of the bag, it usually ends badly. If you don't like what Grouse or any of the other posters here are posting in the political section, scroll away please.

The impeachment vote for Inciting a Riot started while he was in office. They have shown no proof that his words incited the riot, as was pointed out in above posts. This is nothing else, than a tactic to divert attention from the mentally challenged president in office now. You know, the one that's saying "China would eat our Lunch". This is the wet noodle that's leading our country now, while their trying to Impeach a President that actually sold rice to China. After this kabuki theatre is over, they'll have no other Trump diversions to use and then we'll see how Ol' sniffy Joe Biden will fare in the spotlight. It might get so bad, they might try to impeach Trump a third time ?

I looked at them, especially the step through folding E bike, as I wanted to store it in my van and have it easier to mount and dismount. In the end, the bike with all of the accessories was almost $2,600 and I had to wait at least six months for delivery. I hear good things about the Rover though.

You wish I was smoking something, as that's the only way your delusional socialist thought process might make sense to me. Although, it might help me come up with a quirky response you always seem come up with. This type of scenario has already occurred and is happening now, but I'm not here to tell you what you already know, as it's written in your hand book. For four years we've been told by the witch and her flying monkeys that walls are bad, bad, bad. Unfortunately, the meaning of the word Hypocrite isn't in your handbook.

I forgot Silence.

Your over your Quota for posting political topics in the Political discussion section, on this HUNTING forum. The Thought Police have spoken, So pay a quota tax or off to camp with you. Maybe NY state will impose a Political posting panel, so they can tell you how many post's your allowed to post, so no one gets offended ? Then NY state will have to form an Political posting fine panel, so they can then impose a fine that'll fit the crime and bring in revenue to the state. This will also cause more people to start smoking Marijuana, which will also bring in more revenue to the state, once they legalize drugs. Buttttt, if you don't pay your fine and get thrown in jail, then you'll get the vaccine, as it seems that if your in jail, you get first dib's on getting the vaccine. It's all making sense now. Or you could just not post anything, put on your Brown shirt and get in line.

According to the Google Dictionary ; What is the full meaning of unity? being together Unity is being together or at one with someone or something. It's the opposite of being divided. This is a word for togetherness or oneness. So Biden's talk of Unity, was being in Unity with the socialists to Destroy, Censor, Impeach, Tax and Cancel anyone that gets in their way ? After all of his speeches during his Campaign, I thought he was going to heal the Nation when he got into office. Well, he is a politician and his lips were moving. I guess we'll all be as one, when they put us in Unity Education Camps.

Maybe Biz will go down there and show them how to edge.
