We had to forfeit a football game because of hunting oneseason . Several of the upper classmen decided it would be fun to take off opening day of Pheasant season . They were put on Detention and were not elligible to play that week . We didn't have enough eligible players so we had to forfeit . Students would have their shotguns in their vehicles but very few had cars ......

Here is a solution to the problem that has been going around .................... Improvements to Airline Security This has got to be one of the greatest ideas I've heard......... and I'm sure that someone could figure out how to do it! Here's a simple solution to the controversy over full-body scanners at airports. Develop an enclosed booth that passengers step into but, instead of X-raying them, when the door closes, it will detonate any explosive device they have hidden on or in their body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.. This would be a win-win for everyone! There would be no concern about racial profiling. The booth would eliminate long, expensive trials. You're in the airport and you hear a muffled explosion, followed by an announcement over the PA system, "Attention standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight number..." What's not to like

I use a surgical glove when I hang scent pads and throw most of them away . I keep a couple and use them to make barrel protectors . Cut the ends of the fingers of the glove off so they are about 1 1/2" long . Slip one of the cutoff tips on a finger and roll it up so it looks like a miniture condom ( no offence Doc ) . Then do the same with the other cutoffs . Take one of them and slip it over the end of your ML after it is loaded . The "mini condom" will keep dirt / debreis out of the barrel and keep moisture out of the barrel so it can't get your powder wet . Or you could throw away the glove and buy the protectors . I prefer to save money .

Camp was fun at times ..............

I have 5 slugs in the shotgun and a box of 5 buried in the bottom of my backpack . If I shoot all 5 , digging to the bottom of the backpack would give me plenty of time to figure out what i had done wrong . I have a pump action . You can tell which way a deer is running by the sound of the 5 - 6 shot semi-autos sounding off . As for the ML , I have it loaded and 4 speed loads ready . I have been lucky and never had to take a 2nd shot with the ML . But ......... I still reload it before approaching the downed deer .

Check out WallyWorld at the end of bow season when they start marking archery prices down .....

I usually get up at 3 am to get ready to drive to a hunting spot . I am chowing down on the oatmeal by 3:15 . Around 7:30 am my stomach is growling and I bet the deer can hear it ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/tears27.gif[/img]

Those handwarmers that used lighter fluid were something else . They had quite an odor and could get real hot ......

I have some coffee and Instant Oatmeal before leaving to hunt . I carry an apple and granola bars for a snack .

Cough , cough ......... now let go ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/help.gif[/img]

They probably think meat is "made" at the grocery store ! : ... :

I remember when you use to sit on the ground with your back against a big tree . At the time , I smoked and would have does pass within 10 yards of me and probably knew I didn't have a "Party Permit" . Four hunters could apply for a permit to take one doe . The only legal shooter was the one wearing the armband . I had and still have the Winchester 1200 pump with a Qwik-Point sight but have since replaced the modified smooth bore barrel with a rifled slug barrel . It was common in small rural villages to see a deer hanging from a tree in a back or side yard . I don't recall anyone complaining about shooting deer .

I can relate to almost all of them ...........

A woman from Brighton wrote in and complained about the picture of Cathy Turner's deer ."His eyes were still open . Was he dead or alive" ? I don't know too many people that would pose like that with a LIVE deer . She further wrote , " If there are too many deer around , there must be a kinder way to reduce the number, or is it about getting the most points and filling the freezer" ? Maybe she should volunteer to help put condoms on the bucks to keep the does from getting pregnant !

I fletch my arrows with something I swore I would never use ------- 4" Qwik-Spins I have seen the shrink vanes and don't care for the short length

NYDEER ---- Try putting some Armor All on a paper towel or soft rag and wipe it on the target arrows . It will make them easier to pull out . I bought an arrow puller that helps also .

I havn't had any luck with the Fletch Tite Platinum so I have been using the Super Glue .

I thought you were joking but I did a lookup and saw where someone is looking for one on Graigsliast in 9H ........ http://rochester.craigslist.org/wan/2057113280.html

Going out today was a bust but I had to get it out of my syatem and my son wanted to get out . After it stopped raining , we were in the stands . There were some serious wind gusts and we got down after a couple hours of swaying in the breeze . We walked across the fiels and then walked through the thick stuff to see if we might spot deer but saw nothing . So much for bow hunting for the season . Gotta get ready for gun season now ..........

I would rather be x-ray'd or patted down as well as everyone else rather than fly wondering if it's safe ..........What's the big deal ?

I bought a box of the hand warmers at BJ's about 3 years ago and i'm getting a bit low . I have several of the bigger Body warmers that I will try out . The best time to buy them at BJ's is end of season when they reduce prices .

That would make it too hot with pressure against the body , even if it was over a shirt . I have a couple of the hand muffs and one of them is kinda thin with a belt strap . I'll give that a try and see how it works out . Thanks !
