1st Bow kill

My 1st deer kill in 1967

Most of my guns are locked with trigger locks and many with those locks are also locked in a case or gun safe . I purchased several of the "keyed alike" locks so I wouldn't need so many keys . Which reminds me , I have to move my carry pistol as the grandkids will be coming here the 24th and 25th .

And what would happen if someone misspelled words and used incorrect grammar ........ whoa , think of the repercussions !

My son called one of the Crossbow manufacturers two years ago and asked why the scope was a 1X rather than magnified . The response was " the guys go to the range outside the plant and shoot softball size groups at 100 yards without magnification " . This is with a 405 fps crossbow . I have no idea what the KE might be at that distance . Suillebhain -- didn't Mel Gibson say something in the movie PATRIOT like , "Buy Cheap , Shoot Cheap" !

Gun locks ? Trigger locks are only a deterrent . I couldn't find the key to one of my trigger locks and was going to take the gun out to shoot . It only took a couple minutes to drill the lock and remove it . I also have locks on the gun cases but the cases are plastic . I doubt it would take much to break the plastic near the lock and remove the gun .

Happy Birthday Bob !

That's a beautiful bird Dave !

Welcome to Hunting NY !

Welcome to Hunting NY

The guy behind the counter in the Hunting Dept at Dicks in Webster has been there since the store opened . The manager at the Henrietta store worked in the Webster hunting dept for several years after it opened . I have never had a problem at any of the Dicks stores . I have always mounted my scopes on my guns so I can't speak for or against on any workmanship . The last I knew the gunsmith at the local gun shop charges $75 per hour for any work done and you are on a waiting list . I had some work done at the Appletown Gun Shop in Williamson a few years ago and he wasn't too bad with rates . The owner died and the shop closed down .

I have a Crimson Trace on my Ruger 380 LCP . I called the company to see if a battery was compatible and they asked when I had purchased the laser sight . They said there is a lifetime yearly free battery replacement . The lady asked for my address and they sent a battery to me . Free is always good .

But gosh Paula , a few people were trying to "help" the kid . Don't you agree that Robinson should have learned something by being flogged in front of everyone on the site rather than being told by the scholars that he spelled words wrong and used improper grammar via a pm or e-mail ?

Quit posting !

A big thanks to all those who have "helped" Robinson with his spelling and grammar . He hasn't been back since the bashing errrrrrr Corrections to his post have been made .

And .......... if you can't believe the NEWS media who can you believe !

Nice job !

Do you know that when you make a purchase at Dick's there is a Website listed on the sales slip . When you go to the site and do the survey you get a printable coupon for $10 off A $50 purchase . I know that I will be getting Dick's gift cards for Christmas . I do some shopping at the Mom & Pops stores but not a lot . I don't particularly care to pay high prices to keep them in business . For small shops I like the Custom Gun Shop in Walworth and The Avon Gun Shop . I don't care for the shop in Webster , Farmington and Victor .

I didn't want someone to think they could go out with a bow , crossbow , pistol , etc ..

I often think about thinning out some of those pesky squirrels but never do it . Maybe this will be the year for doing it . I really need to clean up / organize my hunting gear storage and reloading area in the basement .

There was a bit of confusion at the Dicks Sporting goods store this morning. When I was ready to pay for my purchases of gun powder and bullets the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me." Making a mental note to complain to Harper about the gun registry people running amok. I did just as she had instructed. When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card. I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to us seniors a little clearer !

Not entirely true . This is from the General Deer Damage Permit Only shotguns with rifled slugs or centerfire rifles may be used . You must possess a Big Game License and be 18 or older . The permit is only valid on lands owned , rented or leased by the Permittee , where damage is occuring , as specified in the permit .

I didn't fill any of my tags this year . Had one shot during bow and one during gun but failed on both . Glad they were clean misses . Saw the arrow go over the bucks back and never touched a hair on the does back with the ML . I always had good luck in Geneseo in past years . Nothing . Didn't see any hunters on adjacent properties either . I hunted more with 2 of my sons this year than I had done in the past so I had some enjoyment there . I guess my disappointment is due to the amount of time I spent without bringing home the bacon (errrrr venison ) !

Have any of you done much of anything adjusting the accu-trigger ?

I usually talk to Dave Fladd . He takes good care of me .
