Herd Immunity vs. Perpetual Fear
SportsmanNH replied to Grouse's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
The strange ones I see up here is people driving in their cars with the windows up wearing masks . Why ? Each to their own I guess . Wondering if they had a disinfecting mist blowing out of the heater vents. But the best one I saw was when I went shopping at a local Aldi store. The guy in front of me at the register looked like he just got off a spacecraft. Wearing high winter boots , thick snowmobile suit tucked in his boots and duct taped at the seam. Neck gaitor on with a full cover helmet with windshield and wearing a full facemask with just the eyes cut out. Winter insulated thick gloves with velcro straps. And here I am standing behind him in the line wearing shorts , tee shirt and sneakers wearing my flimsy little blue home Depot mouth mask . This was on a hot day in August ! I did say something jokingly to him . I said " The virus might not get you but you are going to die of heat stroke ! " He says back that " you just cant be too careful with this virus. " If he turned and told me he had lung cancer I would understand. But he honestly said that he was just scared to death of the virus. To each their own I guess. -

Coyotes On The Move Across New York
SportsmanNH replied to Steve D's topic in NYS DEC News and Annoucements
The only predator i've heard of besides humans of adult coyotes is Wolves. I dont know it as a fact but my guess is a bear or bobcat might grab a pup for a snack given the chance. -

Here is most everything you need to know . Your listing says its off market right now . Dont know why but it says that . It was listed in 2017 for $349,000 but never sold and there is nothing showing any new listing or price drop to under $200,000 . The land is 50 acres with a 200 sqft cabin and a shed that are listed as being on the land as an " Improvement " but from what I see , they dont list any value . Here is your county tax card for that address . A couple from Florida own it . Looks like they purchased it in 1969 but it doesn't show the purchase price . Im sure it was dirt cheap then.

Im sure it will be easier . All you will have to do is call Triple A on those freezing cold days to jump start your $10,000 dead battery.

Bingo ! I think Rob is right . On my last truck , a 2005 Chevy Silverado , the temp would look fine. The heat would work fine as long as I was driving. But when coming to a stop light it would blow cold air. Fill the coolant up and back to normal. It never showed a leak at the water pump , but the dealership said that the water was evaporating out through the gasket and alot of times they showed no leakage working like that for a long time. My mechanic changed the water pump and never had another issue. It didn't take much for the coolant to be low for the heat not to work. If the coolant got low enough it wouldn't blow heat even when I was driving. Had to put fluid in maybe twice a year. Once in the summer and once in the winter. Funny how the winter fill always had to materialize on the freakin coldest day of the year every time LOL

Are you running it on choke for a couple minutes to let the engine warm up a bit before lowering the choke ? Mine is cold blooded and needs to warm up a little before I can move it out of full choke.

Those bright sunny days without a cloud in the sky are like that. Sometimes you dont catch much out on the ice with the barometer rising . But you guys had fun . I see you guys all dressed up for the occasion. Chef , Crappie and Biz in their hunting outfits and Jerkman is his cold weather golfing attire . LOL

I live in a spot where we are the 1st to lose power and the last ones to get it back . In 1994 we lost power for 14 days right around New Years from an ice storm . You could drive around and watch the transformers blow up on the poles . I'm a builder so I had a generator with extension cords running everywhere for lamps , fridge , gas range , and of course , the coffee pot . The gas range was our heat on 500 with the door open. It was freakin 0-3 degrees for days . I ended up on the 4th day pulling the wire out of the furnace switch and hooked a romex wire to the furnace and a plug on the other end and plugged into the generator. After that 14 day episode I had my electrician come over and change my electric panel to the kind with the generator breaker bult in . Now I just switch the breaker to the generator and everything works in my house. My generator is a DeWalt 11hp 6000 watt that powers everything in the house. I dont have to shut anything off . I have a gas range and gas dryer that are just plugged into a 110 outlet . Im also on town water , so I dont have a well pump. I probably would need at least an 8000 watt generator to run all those 220 plugs if I had an electric dryer and electric range and a drilled well . My generator uses about 10 gal of gas when running 24/7 I built 36 of the 55 houses in my neighborhood . The very next winter in January the same thing happened with another ice storm and temps -15 to 0 for days with the wind chill . We lost power for another 13 days this time . My house looked like the Christmas Castle all lit up amongst the darkness in my neighborhood. I sent out a notice to my neighbors BYOPB . " Bring Your Own Pillows and Blankets " LOL I had 26 people staying over . The inside of my house looked like the neighborhood barracks . The little kids had a blast thinking they were on camping trip.

I have probably 8 knives . But the one that I bring with me every year for at least the last 30 years is my Schrade folding knife . It has its place in the back pouch in my fanny pack . I must of field dressed at least 50 deer with that knife . Its like an old friend now. Always there when I need it.

This is to buy a gun . Not to have a GunChick polish your old gun . But it should count as money well spent

WTB Side by side or over under shotgun
SportsmanNH replied to onlybrowning's topic in Hunting Items For Sale and Trade
It looks like CZ USA only has 2 dealers per state . I looked up Penn , NH , and NY . Each state had 2 . Type the state in and it lists the authorized gun shop dealers name , address and phone number . Try calling a few of them . One of them might have what you are looking for in stock. I dont know where you are from so here is the " Find A Dealer " lookup page. The CZ's are nice looking guns and look like a fair price for new ones. The CZ Bobwhite looks nice for $675 https://cz-usa.com/dealers/locate-a-dealer/ -
