  1. Problem with posting crossbow legislation alerts on this forum is you alert just as many anti crossbowers who will quickly follow suit and shoot off emails too. Better off keeping it on Facebook groups like NYCC. The antis get weeded out and booted there.
  2. Good for them, they have their ups and downs. They work hard too
  3. I'm hoping the warm weather will shake things up. I will have my ears open even with the lack of any other turkey evidence.
  4. That's really nice. And a manageable build since it's not 20 feet up. Good concealment makes up for the lower height. Great ideas.
  5. Yea after not seeing a single bird last bow or gun deer season and not seeing any turkey tracks in the snow last couple months I pretty much plan on starting spring projects around my property early this spring. Terrible around here in lower Ulster.
  6. I've been pondering this for some time now going on 66. I'm still able bodied but seem less willing to get injured now, brains comes with age I guess. Thinking of reducing my ladder stands down to a safer height, maybe 9 feet and getting creative with additional brushing in. Also looking at possibly going the total ground blind route.
  7. He will have to think about prison time every time he's in the woods with a weapon now, and ending up broke paying legal fees. On the bright side, hunting stories probably go over big in the slammer, LOL
  8. Years back alot of us including me feared that hunter number reduction would kill the sport. But I have to say it seems to have made it better. Long seasons, lots of deer, and less hunters doesn't really bother me that much. Ad AR to this over the last decade and I'm seeing bigger bucks every year. I know several hunters who've moved to other states and the seasons are unbelievably short. Bummer.
  9. You display ignorance when you can't defend your statements and then immediately start name calling.
  10. It's gotten really bad around me in lower Ulster county. Think I was out once last spring. Nothing around here. Completely gone and they were crawling all over my property 5-7 years ago. I didn't see any during deer season so that tells me there's not a lot to look forward to this spring. Sucks, I just keep hoping they'll come back as quickly they disappeared
  11. https://abc7ny.com/new-york-hospitals-stop-elective-surgeries-department-of-health-low-bed-capacity/11442206/ I know this won't convince anti vaxxers, but here it is.
  12. Not exactly. Last I checked it was the GOP thats been pushing free market society ideals. You know corporate rights and reduction in regulation, and those pesky little things are all things Republicans champion. I think corporations and businesses should be regulated. I know I have you confused now.
  13. Actual death rate in the US is about 1.4% . With Covids very high transmission rate that's a big number when your talking millions of people. This 1.4% is the fatality number and does not reflect the people who spend weeks and months in the hospital requiring care.
  14. Its a companies right to fire you for not being vaxxed. This is part of living in a free market society. You have the right to seek other employment.
  15. If you don't want the vaccine don't get it. What's all the fuss. Nobody is coming to your house to hogtie you and shoot you with the vax.
  16. I'm vaxxed with the booster and had it a couple weeks back. Felt off with slight fever and woke up the third day like I never had it. Quicker than most colds I've had
  17. Wouldn't use one in the deer woods. Duck hunting, Christmas Tree lighting ceremonies only
  18. Get on the DEC deer take by county site. Some good info on deer kill. Think it even breaks it down by DMPs if I'm not mistaken
  19. Wish this snow cover would have held off till tomorrow. Would love to do some tracking with the smoke pole. Supposed to wash away tomorrow
  20. Can't lose sight. Hunting and not seeing crap or someone else getting that buck you've hunted all season is still better than what alot of guys discribed here with losing loved ones. I'm just glad to be able to head out into the woods. It's more than just a sport
  21. If we had snow cover we could do some track hunting and pop one getting up out of a daytime bedding spot. Not easy but possible
  22. Im with you there. Just bagged a nice meat doe on Sunday. Plan on doing a couple nice sits right after Christmas
  23. The nights are longer. Yep they'll be more nocturnal. But with cold weather and hunting pressure easing you'll still see them during daylight. I can't believe some hear complaining the hunting season is to long, LMAO!
