And are you talking about breeding some of those freaks of nature that can hardly hold their heads up ???????

If that's the case , I don't support High Fence Hunting . There is a lot of state land and there are farmers that would like to see the deer eradicated due to crop loss .

Behind the fence ? Are you talking High Fence hunting ? http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/crazynew2.gif[/img]

wztirem ---- Thanks for posting that link . It has a lot of good info ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/thumbup.gif[/img]

I am retired . I have plenty of days to hunt ! I go to mass sunday mornings and watch football in the afternoon .

I only know 2 deer hunters that would consume more than 2 deer a season . I get more than 2 permits and have done the Deer Donation a few times . I just hope that the venison is actually going to "the needy" !

Bubba ---- Do you float the deer out of the swamp ? ??? .. ???

C'mon , be a sport . The state needs that $10 ! ... ...

Nice looking deer !

Thanks . I moved the topic down here to Hunting Gear ........

What is some good rain gear for bow hunting ? Looking for something to keep me dry , is quiet and is NOT insulated .

Both are fine . For a few years , I would quit hunting about an hour before quitting time . I didn't want to hit one in low light and have to track in the dark . But ...... that's when the deer start moving in one of the areas I hunt . Last year I got my bow kill late in the afternoon .

Yupper . Two more weeks and I wn't be sitting at the computer !

Taking less does would cause some areas to be overrun by deer . Your chiropractor friend should stick with what he knows best ! ...

Welcome to Hunting NY .

I have never delved into the making of knives but guys in the "Tool Room" where I worked made hunting knives out of files , etc .. They did more "Government Jobs" than actual work on tools and dies . Many of the handles were made out of layers of Phenolic .

An expensive vanilla extract at that ! ???

In 1966 , I went to Canasaragus (sp) with a fellow worker . We set up about 100 yards apart on State land . Around 7:30 am a pickup came down the dirt road and was dropping guys off about every 50 yards . Then these guys started walking past us banging pans and making a lot of racket . I was soooooo pissed but then it was funny . They looked like the guys from the movie , Deliverance . The movie was made years later but ........ it could have been any one of those locals .

Hunting in Kali-fornia ? That's a hoot !

This is how it looks before the "clean-up" ............

There would be an overpopulation of deer as well as more deer / vehicle accidents . More and more of the deer's domain is being lost to housing tracts . The suggestion / proprosal would get sha-zit canned !

I had a treestand in Geneseo that split off into 3 trunks . I put a 3' X 4' pressure treated stand in it about 18' high . I shot several deer from there and got my 1st bowkill from there . It had a great viev across a woods and there is a big ditch behind it . We could hunt the other side also . I got busted when I turned to look behind me . I took care of that problem . I took a 5" X 8" camping mirror the next time and fastened it to one of the trunks in the stand with a bungie cord . I could see movement behind me when there was some . I could spot other hunters when they were approaching . Soooooo , I can see where that Deer View Mirror might be handy .

I'll give that a 2 thumbs up !

Personally , I prefer the single stage . I have a Lyman Turret Press and a Lee single Stage . I use both of them as a single stage . * Caselube the brass *** Resize the brass * Tumble the brass * Clean the primer pocket and chamfer the casemouth * Weigh powder and pour *** Seat the bullet So I don't have a need to use a progressive reloader as I am using the press in 2 steps of my process . I reload 223 , 25-06 , 270 , 308 and 44 mag with no problem . What I need for my reloading is Lock Rings dor my dies .
