The cartridge loaded fire stick , are they legal in NY ?? If so then the description of a muzzleloader needs to be changed right ?

So… the federal and traditions “ fire stick” loads like a single shot shotgun but it’s legal as a muzzleloader right ? Even though it’s not

Nope, I’ve processed many many deer and I did this one the same was as always . All my meat is aged the same way..

There is no fat at all on it

I tried the baking soda because I didn’t have any kiwi It is more tender but seems like it took all the natural flavor out of it

The one buck I shot this year seems tough .. Killed it with the crossbow during the rut , not sure if that matters .. Even the backstrap seemed tough. So my Chinese buddy said use baking soda to tenderize it . You guys ever try that ??

Seems late doesn’t it ??

I pulled two off a few months ago , wife sent them for testing one came back positive for Lyme and the other came back positive for some other tic borne disease . Short run of Doxy… they were only on me half a day so far no issues

Ouch … where’s that we are -4 now in the fingerlakes

I look forward to this every week

Ahhh I’m near Auburn so probably a ways for you but thx

I’m in fingerlakes

Where u located ? There used to be guys here that hunted them but haven’t seen them in years

I’m 63

Man we are over run with these things

I have one on every stand now. Too many people failing and I’m old enough that even if it doesn’t kill me it wouldn’t be good

Most important is a lifeline , hook and stay hooked before your feet leave the ground Glad u are ok

I’ll meet u in Rochester again some Wednesday

Yea this new scope came with both , im ditching the caps and using the soft cover when I’m not hunting

Hey who let u out of your cage Feel free to pass any post by instead of making idiotic comments .

Ha u can have them …

Again …… that’s great but it seems like they would catch on brush etc … My point is they really seem more of a burden than anything

That’s what I’m thinking

Uhhh no I don’t , guess u missed my point . Let’s say I’m walking into my stand , or out to my truck or whatever in DAYLIGHT And I jump a deer . I’ve jumped them many times and they run 20 yards and stop and look at me ! My point is , even with the flip up caps they just seem to be a PITA to have to deal with and more trouble than they are worth . And leaving them flipped up walking in or out in the DAYLIGHT seems like just one more thing to catch on brush etc. Hope this makes my question more clear . Now at least the bungie ones can be see through. I just don’t see the need for them. I understand they help protect the glass but I’ve never had the glass get damaged without them . Again just asking a question Thx

So it came with those flip up covers. I usually don’t use them and take them off . They seem like a PITA and even just to use them walking into your stand doesn’t seem good , if you jump a deer or need to shoot quick you have to flip them open. Do you guys use them ?
