  1. Marlin 1895g 45-70 topped with a monarch 3x9x40. Handload using 300 gr. Nosler partition.
  2. Up until a few years ago I usually always used open sights including with my own 1895g. Then my eyes got old and I was forced to put on optics. As long as your your comfortable with open sights, I say go for it. I always thought it was quicker to get on target and easier to follow what was happening after the shot.
  3. Looks good. Didn't realize Mossberg was making lever actions.
  4. Try making a index line across the top of the receiver and the barrel. If it keeps locking up the same with the lines lined up I don't see a problem.
  5. I shoot 209 in my encore through a clean barrel. I find that I tighter grouping by weighing the charge. I shoot a 100g volumetric which weighs out at 70g. The conversions are on their web sight.
  6. Commercial brand Permethrin is good but gets expensive. I get the 10% Permethrin animal dip online and mix it 19:1 with distilled water. Just as effective and a lot cheaper to use. The only difference is it has a slightly different odor. Been using it for several years without a single tick.
  7. Never hunted Pochuck, but you might want to try Sterling Forest. It has a lot more land to hunt.
  8. Looks like maybe some sort of deer and chupacabra hybrid.

    nice deer, congrats
  10. Way to go. Real nice. Congrats.
  11. Sounds like you have it covered. Good luck.
  12. My kids are all grown. Shouldn't I be getting 350 plus interest? Hey Andy..........
  13. Hey the 1c dmp is what you want. Fill the tag and DEC will issue you another. The good news is you can still get it in November when they give out the left over tags.
  14. Be nice if I got a tag in the mail for the area I was turned down for.
  15. I have a Matthews MQ1. It's so old I can't even remember when I bought it, but it's been awhile.
  16. You can try staying up wind. It's one of those things. You just gotta think happy thoughts.
  17. Real nice. Is that guy on the island or upstate?
  18. I kind of like the idea of it cooling off, but I'm hoping not to have to turn on the heat for awhile yet.
  19. The parks not open for the early bear season.
  20. Heard about that a few days ago. I'm all in on some cooler weather, but can due without a storm like we had a few years ago in October.
  21. Check your tags. On the first set of tags I received at Dicks today the back tag was printed on three tag sections, the other tags were overprinting from one tag to another, and I had one spring turkey tag and none for fall. This after they told me that they weren't having any issues with the printing. The girl there had to reprint as a replacement set and they finally came out right.
