Well in that case he would have been all over a modern crossbow like a well aged T-Bone

Fred would scoffed at today's modern compound bows

After reading thru this thread I decided to remove and trash a 13 yr old ladder stand. Very close to opening day but I'm putting a new one up as soon as it's not raining.

Me and a good friend who I still hunt with today used to hunt the woods around golf courses and schools out on Suffolk County where we lived back in the early 70s. Mostly squirrel and an occasion pheasant. Then we moved up to waterfowl along the south shore of LI marshlands..the squirrels and pheasant were much better eating, lol

I have a mother with 3 cubs around my place. And they have been a major pain in the ass this summer. My wife went out on the back deck and gave a yell at them last week and one of the cubs flew right up an ash tree in our yard. Too funny

Sick bastard. Now everyone wants to know why

Nice wall mount. Might wanna use the meat for yote bait or sausage at very least

There's better calibers for whitetail deer than a 22-250.

Sorry to hear about your accident. If you don't mind me asking what happened to make you fall. Wondering if it was a ladder stand collapse or otherwise. After reading this and being the large mammal that I am it got me thinking it might be time to rethink some of my stand setups..thanks and hope the bone separation comes together soon.

He was funny. Liked him on the show The Middle

Incredible

It's gone folks. Sending to a member tomorrow.

I put an older Excalibur scope on that I had.

Brand new in box Centerpoint 4x scope. PM address and I'll send it off.

My steel plates on my handgun range are getting rusty.

Starting with bow (PSE)if we get some chilly weather. Warm keeps me out of the woods. Then its crossbow (Excal and New Centerpoint) and that's when I get serious as the rut warms up and we're getting nice and cold. After that rifle (TC bolt and Savage bolt) Then muzzleloader (CVA)

I started to bow hunt in the 70s and everyone was using recurves at the time, even in the 1980s many hunters still used recurves. Got my first compound bow a Martin wooden riser bow kit sometime mid 1980s, im pretty sure it was 84. It wasn't until that time that compound bows started producing the speed and technology that really seperated them from recurve bows. And in the 90s the compound bow technology revolution took off like a rocket. But the new generation of bow hunters demanded that technology and recurves quickly fell into the abyss. We can re-examine when and how it all happened but like I said previously a new generation of hunters will decide what the future of bow hunting will look like. I could think of hundreds of times where someone could've set limits on the evolution of the compound bow. With the Asian manufacturers now producing quality xbows sales of xbows are booming in NY. I personally will welcome full inclusion.

I think crows are some of the worst. They're great at spotting nesting hens. Coons are up there too.

It's a good idea not to be on the move at dawn or dusk. It surprises me how many hunters Ive seen over the years walking in at those times. Deerz can't see orange so I have no problem with it.

If you look at the inflated market of 2005-2007 that was created by George Bush JR deregulating lending institutions so they could start giving 500k hedge fund secured mortgages to min wage workers, yes prices will drop drastically when the crash comes. Only in the last yr have people come out from underwater on homes they bought during that period. If money means anything to you now is not the time to buy. Thinking your going to find some sleepy upstate old timer who's going to give you the deal of a lifetime is unrealistic. Hint, everyone knows there's a mega real estate boom happening.

You picked a bad time. Competition is tough. City people are buying homes and land up here like crazy and it's not uncommon to get into bidding wars in the process with homes and land selling for more than the asking price. From an investment standpoint your not going to gain buying now in NY and will end up with property that's worth less than you paid for it in a year or two. You'll be competing with alot of cash buyers too who have an edge because sellers like cash deals.

Nice pig.

Hey remember yrs ago when the Tach 15 was introduced by PSE for 1600 dollars and the Anti Xbow guys lost their sh*t screaming "THIS IS IT" Crossbows are officially rifles now, lol. Thing shot an pretty impressive 412 fps but was long as a freakin canoe and cost 1600 bucks and heavy as one. Now you see them on eBay and they don't even get bids, and if they do sell they maybe fetch 400. Boy I don't know which side got more wrapped up in PSEs advertising hype the anti or pro xbow guys, Ah them was the days..LOL!

Hmmm, you don't think she.......
