I've had mallard breast that was great, and then I've had some that tasted like swamp water.

I also am not good at this, but I look at how thick the base of the horns are, and his looks to be on the thinner side, so I'm leaning to 2.5. Don't know if this is right or wrong, just my guess. Definitely a nice deer!

I always wanted a Marlin 336C in 35Rem. with 200 gr. bullets. That's just my thought, my Rem.760 pump in 30-06 always fit the bill so I never bothered.

I have the 760 and my son has the 7600. My son is 41, so I'm guessing he bought his about 20 years ago, and I got mine in 71. We love ours and I wouldn't change a thing. Now the only thing we had to do to ours is have an O ring replaced in the pump action tube, if I'm calling it correctly. But if your forearm rattles you need to have that O ring replaced. They both went early on of use, and they both have been fine ever since. Just a tid-bit of info.

Every fall Dicks, Gander and others always have sales on ammo, 30-06, 308, 270, 243, and 30-30. These I find always available. Now there's a ton of other great calibers, but I would stick with one of those. I personally have and like the 30-06. Now I say this because here in this great state you may not always find what you want and it might be hard to get. I have a Remington 760 pump rifle bought new in 1971, in 30-06. If I had to do it all over again I would buy the same damn gun love it. Now bolt action rifles are the most popular, and one thing I can say is they are easier to clean. Good luck in your "hunt" for that rifle.

That's good, cause those rounds don't like dampness.

I hope it's dry in your basement.

You can go to the Federal home page and look those cartridges up. I don't think the copper tip mushrooms as well as the Nosler ballistic tip.

I have a John Deere blower that was made by Echo, this year turns 20 years old. Never had to do anything to it, just saying. But every time I'm done mowing I get the blower out and do the driveway, side walks, back patio, and even blow off the tractor and mowing deck. I find it very useful.

This was about a year or more ago but my brother bought ammo from Gander on line and they shipped it to the local store and he picked it up at the store.

Prayers for you all.

That plow part looks like some kind of skid shoe, like on the end of a sickle bar mower. Just a guess.

how about a wrist-rocket sling shot!!

I'm 62, March be 63. Been huntin' ever since I could pull a sling shot back. My cousin and I were pretty darn good with those things.

Winter "white" phase called ermine.

I wonder how they compare to a .410 shotgun slug?

I think it's powdered lime that they use to dump on dead animals to make them decompose faster. I'd be careful with it, could be poison. I would report it to DEC. 8" wide isn't very wide to dump a carcass. It's basically wide enough for a shovel. Maybe that's what killed the deer.

I'm not a gambler, take one first chance I get.

They are absolutely correct. In MOST of the ADK there are no doe permits. Gun is bucks only. Bow and crossbow you can take a doe. Also muzzleloader.

I have a 870 Wingmaster 12 ga. cantilever barrel with scope. I used the Rem. Copper Solids and the Rem. Accu-tips. Both are very accurate out of my gun, but I prefere the Accu-tips, I believe it has more shock and punches a bigger hole, knocks them right down. The only down side is they are expensive. Since all my hunting areas are rifle now, I haven't used it. Plus that gun loaded up is heavy. It's a joy now to carry my Rem. 760 pump 30-06, and the recoil is much better. Good luck!!

YES, the Top's near me change everything around, takes forever to find stuff.

I use those Playtex dish washing gloves. When your done, turn them inside out as your taking them off. When you get home turn them back and wash them off and reuse.

It was 1970, I was 17 yrs old, opening morning about 5 after 7, 7 pointer with my new Rem.870 Wingmaster, 12ga. 28" plain barrel, mod. choke with lead slugs. After dragging him out guessing 150-160lbs, 3-4 years old. On the way home stopped at a DEC check station, 125lbs and 19 months old! lol So the learning curve began.
