I for one missed the "present" part . If it's being used as a gift , buy the most expensive shooting sticks you can find .

I made a Varmint Al Bi-Fur Pod set of shooting sticks and made a few modifications . The bolt that holds the sticks together has a wing nut . I used the sticky back fleece where the gun forearm rests on the sticks then drilled a hole and used a Hitch Clip to keep the sticks pinned when walking , They can be used as a walking and adjusted for different heights by spreading the legs (of the sticks) . I made them with a couple of 4' tomato stakes that have pointed ends . They cast me about $4 or $5 about 10 years ago . I take them every time I gun hunt . Steady and CHEAP . http://varmintal.com/abifu.htm

I bet the insurance companies would want to keep elk and moose out of NYS . Having something like that popping out in the highway would be like hitting a horse !

I recall reading not to have them facing East or West as the sun movement would trip the cameras . Weeds , limbs , anything moving will trip the cameras . I have also gotten activity and then nothing for a few days .

The OP's post is about "ground hogs" ......He asked about ground hog land to hunt .

Knock on some farmer's doors and ask permission . They would love to have someone shoot those varmints . You get your foot in the door and they may let you hunt deer , etc ..

Anything I have read says that the heavier arrow will penetrate more than a lighter arrow . http://archeryreport.com/2011/03/arrow-penetration-testing-real-bows-real-arrows-real-results/

We had ADT and I didn't think the price was bad .... $30 a month . Had it when the inlaws lived with us as they were in their 90's and if it got set off accidentally the police or Fire Dept would show up . I plan to have it hooked back up soon .

Redneck Home Security How to install a redneck home security system: 1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with several empty beer cans, a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine and several NRA magazines. 3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads: 'Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim, I went to the gun shop for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls -- they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad.I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood. PS - I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside.' 5. INSTALLATION COMPLETE!

Happy Birthday !

Per Wildcat Junkie - the Lease is no longer available .

I still have these --------- http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/21953-set-of-3-mossberg-20-ga-accu-chokes/

Picked up the grandkids in Honeoye Falls and took them to church in Mendon . The church was packed probably due a lot of folks that go on Easter and Christmas . Had a real nice ham dinner with some delicious sides . Saw over 20 deer on route 42 on the way home . Also saw a bunch while driving to church this am . Glad the snow didn't stick .

See you in Church ............

TruBall slugs are manufactured by Federal . They are inexpensive and usually on sale at DICKs around deer season . They work fine . Even the cheap Federal Foster rifled slugs work fine out of a smooth bore barrel .

happy Birthday !

Good catch Growie !

THe OP is asking about a 20 gauge Mossberg 500 Bantam with a smooth bore and asking which choke . Not rifled barrels or 12 ga . A 20 ga .......

Several years ago my sister in law shot a buck at over 130 yards with a 20 ga Mossburg 500 . It has a smooth bore and she was using the cheap Federal rifled Foster slugs . The shotgun has a Qwik Point sight on it . I am guessing that the barrel was a Modified ............

I have a section of the yard that I till and plant cherry and beefsteak tomatoes as well as some peppers . I made some boxes so the wife could do her raised garden plants that seem to do well every year . Her organic garden is always pretty healthy .

I'm only 73 and don't have the need or desire for a X-bow yet and will stick with my compounds . If I were to go with a X-bow I would probably go with the Barnett Vengence as it's only about $900 . The way the NYS Regs are now is fine . Then again , where I hunt no one uses them so it's rather a moot point .

Not really hunting but I had a funny experience today . I was driving up Culver Road in Irondequoit and had a Cock Pheasant run across the road in front of me . It happened between Dewberry and Park Road near the Pet Adoption Network building . Never expected to see a pheasant in that area .

Super nice !

I think Hillary screwed up the NICs system when she deleted her files !
