    You know I've been on here a long time and I've never been your foe. You've made many. Many don't like or agree with what you do, yet I've never said a single thing about it. But now you're making me your enemy without me even attacking your business?
    If you answer my question above, 3rd time i've asked. I'll give you all that you want. 

    [mention=2761]Belo[/mention], I’d be interested in reading them.

    @FourSeasons, when I talk about regulating mineral licks it is with regards to the general deer population. Your business is exempt and not applicable so there is no need for you to take offense. Grow those boys as big as you can and make that money!

    No ammo at Dicks/field and stream

    We should do what the truckers did in Canada and what African Americans did in the South during the Civil Rights Movement... a peaceful revolt..

    If we can convince all of, or at least a very high percentage of hunters to stop hunting, it will mess up the wildlife population and create issues that directly affect our liberal neighbors... refuse to hunt until they take back these blatant unconstitutional rules

    If would suck not to hunt but not as much as it sucks to lose our freedoms...

    I am at work today at the Eastern Air Defense Sector... the military unit that scrambled the fighter jets back on 9/11, still have folks on crew that were here that day. You can be rest assured that we have improved our tactics and if any assholes try to pull something like that again, we will blow their asses outta the sky.

     So you don’t think an apple tree or acorns bring deer together in one spot?  You really should look at what life has shown you and not believe everything you read. Deer lick they same branch over and over again without human interference. The cwd thing is the biggest hoax that has ever hit the deer world. 60 years of proven fact. One can have an opinion if they think baiting or mineral likes are ethical to hunt over but in the big picture if hunting is not involved at all a mineral lick or bait pile is no different then a tree Mother Nature herself designed. 

    I would not say that it is a hoax but yes the more I read, the more it becomes apparent that we don't know enough about the disease to implement effective strategies... for example the mineral lick debate, the one study conducted in Wisconsin concludes mineral licks "may" contribute. 

    Makes me begin to think of another virus we are all too familiar with and how the measures implemented basically amounted to throw the kitchen sink at it and hope that at least one of the practices will help thwart the spread... although looking back, most were stupid, ineffective and created doubt amongst the public on taking precautions altogether. 

    So with all of that, I get to switch my vote right... I only agree to a government setting regulations that limit our freedoms when those restrictions have 100% clear proof that they contribute to public safety. I stand corrected.

    So you must feel the same about food plots?

    You got me curious so I did some Googling and discovered that salt licks, corn piles and mock scrapes are bad because they bring deer one small specific location where they can get the CWD that “lives” in the soil.

    Food plots are not like that as they are a larger area and the chances of multiple deer congregating over the exact small location in that plot is small.

    I did a mock scrape this year but will stop that practice moving forward.

    I am no tree hugger but I love the outdoors and want to preserve them. Whether it is the ash borers, chestnut blight, nature already has enough ammo to mess up our wild lands. If I need to make my hunt a little harder to prevent further damage then so be it.

    We go next Saturday north of Cape Cod, hoping that disturbances don’t ruin our trip too.

    I’d be interested for next summer but wont be able to officially commit till early next year.

    Beware The NEW Gun Laws are in effect and aimed at HUNTERS

    Apparently Zeldin’s polling numbers are within striking distance to the queen!

    That was one poll... the aggregate is still showing 16% difference, which is not great for Zeldin.

    However hopefully Biden's student loan package coupled with these latest gun laws will help swing the vote. However I wouldn't hold my breath, this is New York and it is tough for rural NY to take down NYC.

    First Gun which 22?

    in Guns and Rifles and Discussions

    Posted

    My son is 9 and I am considering getting him his first firearm for Christmas. Leaning towards starting with the Savage Rascal .22 but wanted to get other perspectives on the topic. The only thing that bothers me about the Rascal is that it is a single shot. Yeah I get the reasoning behind it but don't know if it is required because my son is gonna be supervised while he is shooting.

    I messed up.. need help

    Can you get the silver piece to slide back into the firing position? I believe that’s the firing pin.  You might have to give it some love to slide back, but it should go back and you can move the bolt handle around to the open position. 

    It is locked in pretty good, wish it was that simple.

    Go to youtube and type in Remington 788 bolt disassembly, you will find videos that will help you solve your problem.

    After I messed up that is what I did, watched this video and it showed me where I messed up but not how to fix it. No other video on YouTube addresses my issue.
