sbuff --- some folks don't like the NEF in-lines because of the Primer Holder . I have arthritis in my fingers and the Orange primer holders make it easy to use plus if you see the orange tab , you can figure it's raedy to fire .

I didn't buy another ML . I still have my NEF 50 cal Huntsman . I shoot the 240 gr TC sabots with 90 gr of Triple 7 . I gave away the Powerbelts that I had .

I am trying to figure out where I went wrong . Most of my HS classmates have been married 2 or 3 times ..... :

I have been a NRA member for years !

My wife and I are going out to dinner tonight to celebrate 49 years of marriage . She claims that we have had at least 1 (one) year of wedded bliss !

Had the belt break on my Troy Built 42" mower a couple days ago . Removed the deck and went to Lowes and bought a replacement . Had to replace the blades again as on was bent from hitting a rock . Anyway got it apart , replaced the blades and belt and finished mowing the lawn . What a pain . It took time but wasn't all that difficult .

I thought this thread was about lowering the shooting distance for BOWs ( not guns ) . ???

This BS has gone to 6 pages and personally , I don't give a Damn how you hunt ! And I could also care less as to how you think of my hunting . I enjoy the treestand hunting and do minimal stalking of deer except for gun season .

Hey ! Let's not turn this into a Porno site ! I think that toad was just hitching a ride ... :

Great pics Dave . I really like the picture of the doe with the tiny fawn .

I am sooooo worried now that Big Brother is watching over us through EZ Pass !

We had our garage door replaced a couple years ago with an insulated door . The house was built in 1969 . It is no where near as heavy as the original wood / fiberboard door . I had them hook up to the Door Opener that I had installed about 10 years ago . I also had them do the top panel with windows so you can't see in but it lets light in the garage .

100 yards would be much better than 50 . http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/2cents.gif[/img]

I think I saw him with his bow at the seneca park Zoo . .. .. ;D .. ???

Right on , if it works , don't fix it !

Blazer vanes are fine . I was using them until I tried the 4" Qwik-Spins and changed everything . I also shoot a heavier shaft . Speed isn't everything ! I'd rather hear my arrow go "thump" instead of "thwack" ! ;D

You must do a heck of a lot of walking / stalking to get your deer !

I certainly don't agree with what he did but ... if he had killed a person , he would have gotten lees time to serve !

Whoever it was looked to be in a lot of pain . I wonder if he filled his Depends ! ???

I picked up 5 permits yesterday . 3 for my son and 2 for me . When they are filled , we can get more . On page 1 under special conditions , it states ANTERLESS deer only .Permit valid only in crop fields when damage is occuring and is void when crop is final-harvested .

I told my sons that if I don't show up back at camp , come looking for me with my "blaze orange" walker !

All Sgt Joe friday wanted was "The Facts" !

Saw a 7 cu ft General electric freezer at Home depot for $219 . I looked up the reviews on the computer and most were Excellent 4+ and 5's . Anyway , they had an ad in the paper today and the store has them for $179 so I bought one and i'm having it delivered Wednesday at no charge . I also bought the 4 year extended warranty for $99 that starts after the original warranty runs out . I also picked up a couple of Crop damage Permits this afternoon .

Looks like a good ambush spot !
