Sheesh ......no foot rest !

I didn't know DICKs did a price match .......... I will give it a try .

I see where DICK's has the 24 oz spray bottle for $15 . I think I will grab some this coming week .

That rack's a beauty !

Sounds like they finally got smarter . Thanks for the update Bubba . A few years ago , my youngest son took the Bow Class and passed with flying colors . A week before Bow Season he went to Gander Mt get get his archery license . He couldn't get it because he hadn't taken the gun course . He had no intention of gun hunting but that wasn't good enough . He had to wait another year as the gun course wasn't available in the area .

Congrats to both of you and welcome to Hunting NY

I tried some Repel . It works on mosquitos but not Black Flies . My wife gave me a Cutter's Stick that I will tryout tomorrow . She said it works for the black flies .

The black flies have been out for a few days . They feed on me and are a real nuisance !

Looks like fun http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=OQnU1t7UzgM

The Libs need to clean up their own back yard before jumping on someone to divert the attention .

I used to hate that when I was in the Marine Corps and folks referred to Yonkers as "upstate" ......anything north of the Bronx was upstate .........

I'm not too fond of Ted but what happened to Freedom of Speech ? He's right ..... the Liberals are destroying our country . People will vote for Obama because he is giving them welfare and are too dumb to see the value of the dollar is becoming less and eventually won't be worth the paper that it's printed on . Work your ass off for 40 years and give what you have to the lazy slob that won't even look for a job . Nice country .

C'mon Sits --- Ulster is "downstate" !

I take ours to a Tax Office and have them do it . Too many papers and forms to file . I pay an estimated Income Tax quarterly but came out okay this year . It really kills me to have to pay Income Tax on Social security ! Since I started having it by a Tax Office , I don't get an upset stomach and the sick feeling .

I agree with Doc's earlier statement ---" I really believe that they would go get a chain saw if they thought a camera locking system was too much to overcome" . I put up 2 cameras on a friend's property yesterday . Hopefully I might get some Turkey pics but I am hoping to get pics of a trespasser who rides the trail on horseback . The ground is real soft and the horse is sinking in the trail and making a mess . The property is POSTED . I have the cameras at least 10' high and tipped down . I have seen cameras placed at 3 to 4 feet high and they are fairly easy to spot . I never look up in the trees to see if there are any more . If you see a guy walking into the woods with bolt cutters or a hack-saw you might just assume he is up to no good or he could have lost the key to his own stand or camera lock box .

Amen ! Someone gets it ..... Thanks

When I was a kid I shot one with the 22 rifle . I had to shoot it several times to finish it off . We lived in the country and I didn't want one hanging around the house . After I killed it I felt real bad and what I had done bothered me for several days . I have come across at least a half dozen since then and just leave them alone . But ...... they sure are ugly !

Kinda looks like a Chubraca .........

Okay ....... I.......... do....... not........support ........ crossbows ........... but .........I .......am .......not ........against...... people .......using .........them ....... ! I .......had .......responded ....... to .......your ......question .......with ........." Not absolutely sure what I would really do " .......if .......I ........could ......no ......longer ......draw .......back ..... a .......compound . I ........didn't .......start .......shooting ......a .......bow ........ until ........about .........1994 ........so ........ I .......was .......never ......in .......any .......stickbow ......./ ..........compound ........controversy ....... and ........had ..........no .......idea ........what .......sort .........of ..........fight ........there ........was ......!......I .........can't ........remark ........about ........something ...... I .......wasn't ........part of ......... If .........you .......or ........others ......want .........to .........shoot ......../.........hunt ......with .........a ..........crossbow .......... I ...........DO...........NOT .........Care.......!!! I ....... hope ......... I .......went ........slow .........enough .......for .........you ! .......If ........ not ......I .......don't Care ......... !

Welcome to Hunting NY . Grab a chair , some popcorn and join in ........

I didn't say it would be a bad thing ! In my opinion , it would be an advantage for my hunting . I don't know how many folks don't practice with a compound . I havn't hunted with anyone that doesn't do so . "Read my print" ------ I don't care if they bring CrossBows into the archery season . Got it ? I do NOT care .

Not absolutely sure what I would really do . I am now in the thinking mode that folks hunting with crossbows might be a big help . Women aren't going to give up their perfume , scented hairspray , nor their their cell phone talk . Kids will get bored and probably break out their electronic games after a short while . With all the smell and commotion the deer may haul butt from the adjacent property and come my way so I am not against the crossbow hunters ........ as long as they don't trespass !

According to the media guy (ottie Snyder ) from Horton , it will bring women and youngsters into hunting with a crossbow as well as give the guy who doesn't have time to practice with a crossbow more time to hunt . Reference --- Whitetail Journal Magazine July 2006

I don't like putting cams out without lock boxes but then , they are only a deterrant for a thief . I take a ladder with me and put the cams about 10' high that would be hard to shimmy up .

They will probably open the Bow Season to X-bows in 2013 and then folks can quit crying about it . That is probably the easiest way to get hunting numbers up .
