Upstate new york should secede from NYC
phantom replied to phantom's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Hey it would be easier to Declare upstate i new state then try and secede from the usa . What would they do send in the army because upstate wanted to be new state lol I dont think so. Its like you pay tax upstate but you have no say in Presidential elections the way its setup now. -
Yeah I don't understand it the only thing I can think of is some people are so measurable and rather bring everybody else down then vote for someone thats going to help people that Own or run businesses. You know the things that Actually keep the economy running.

Looking For Serious Backcountry Hunters...
phantom replied to Thebluesman5748's topic in Big Woods Hunting
I hunted in the dax only 5 or 6 times in my life , we just got the closes hotel motel near where we wanted to hunt up there and just got up and drove and walked in and out each day plenty of space did not see a single hunter in the woods at those places I was at, was great time . -
Yep its all about being able to get close with bow hunting good luck dont give up. Im sure you will get a monster with Patience.

Possibly I don't know you might be right I forgot what he told me but he had something to do with the Olympics too this guy I don't remember if he was training them or competed I can't remember .He also told me he trained some actor for a movie few years back. I forgot the name of the movie was one of those Greek mythology movies .

I don't know he in he 70s been around.

Since he teaches archery and has a shop he feels Responsible if someone does something stupid , I believe he said 10 yd because he knows people don't listen Don't practice enough and they are going to shoot 20 30 yd anyways and if he said 20 yards guys would Stretch it out 40 or more . He wants people to hunt ethically you know. He's not one of those guys that's going to try to blow smoke up your ass and sell your new fancy archery equipment and tell you thats going to make you be able to shot long range at a deer with out putting the time in . He's an honest guy.

Well he said soomething like he does not always have the time himself to put in the time he knows he would need to have a chance at what he want to shoot at . He only goes after muture bucks . Or somthing to that effect .

I may have wrote that wrong, His exact words as I remember were 90% not good enough or should not be shooting deer from more then ten yards away specifically what percent Shouldn't be bow hunting at all he didn't say he was saying He knows that a lot of these guys that came in the shop don't even practice they shot few arrows just before the season and that it . He was saying you should strive for 100% accuracy when hunting and who wants to track a Wounded deer all night long only to never find it sometimes . He was saying you should shoot your bow with almost rifle like Accuracy at the range you want to hunt at . Because in the field as anybody who hunts knows you got weather you got Heavy clothes you got exhaustion You have sleep deprivation branches Bunch of variables . That you dont have to deal with at a archery or gun range for that matter . He was telling me yea You know I could teach someone to shoot a new bow pretty good in here but it's not at a target that can move it's not an elevated target it's not windy cold rainy in here and it's not under stress . You take all those factors and your 1" group at 10 yards range will not be at that deer he was saying .

Obviously, I know someone who teaches archery had a shop to and won Tournaments . You know what he told me one time He rarely hunts with a bow anymore cause even he lost deer From bad shots or the deer moving out of way or branches . He just rather wait till gun seaaon . Told me Probably 90% of the guys that come in his shop have no business hunting with a bow or Aren't good enough to shoot a deer more than 10 yd away with one even with the new high tech gear . He thinks a lot of bad shots is because people don't Practicine in the same position that they are actually hunting in or from, You hunt deer from a tree stand you should practice from a tree stand in the woods same set up . If you hunt from a blind you should practice from the blind. If you dont he said you should only take shots from half your practice distance .
