A point is measurable at 1" from the surface of the intersecting antler. can be anywhere....brow...sticker....droptine. The best way to harvest a mature Buck is by body. AR is used to try and make it easier. I have seen many 1.5's in AG area that have very good body size, probably a combo of food and an early birth. Especially out here by us antlers can give a very false indication of age. -
How can a 6 point not pass a 3 point AR?

I think it is night and day. Midway halted ammo and components shippments to NY becuase they awaited for a legal assessment of the law. Dick's made a decision to no longer sell "assault weapons". And just an FYI they opulled them even before the law was passed.

any new updates on SAFE?

I thought I read transfer to immediate family member (spouse, child or step-child) was allowed. -
First. I do not support AR. but I will tell you from my experience in the woods the 2.5 year old is a more difficult animal to hunt than a 1.5. I think with that increase more make it through to 3.5 and higher. The success rate on 2.5's I don't think will match the success rate on 1.5's

meat Hunter, I can't tell from your post if you are for them or against them.

Nothing meant offensive. just a reminder how they stood up for us.

I agree and that was one reason we had our first seminar on the aging on the hoof. It is not an easy science but identifying a 1.5 with a decent 8 point rack is fairly easy. Those would be the marginal passes...lol. Not many of those 3.5 year spikes running around. My one friend shot a slob six point this year and he took it because it showed up on camera many times and was a huge bodied deer. The rack was thick but not all that impressive. 4.5 year old and dressed at 203 pounds. Identifying the body size/characteristics is much more benificial. As I said identifying a 1.5 year old is not all that tough and if we had hunters CHOOSE to let them go, we would see an increase in the age overall. But as you i need it to be choice.

Phade, but the nice thing about where we are is that there really is a very good possibility to take a 3.5 year old or older. In our area the AR's in use in the SE part of the state would do very little to get a lot of those 1.5's through. I saw more 6 and 8 point 1.5's this year than I did spikes and 4's.

I wouldn't buy from Dick's if it was $3 a box.

Larry, the report I heard was the two incidents were actually 5 hours apart, same general area of the city and both by 2 black males. what do you think the odds are that they were the same criminals.
-
I bet you see Cabela's put it on. They would be nuts not to take advantage of that void.

The Hudson Valley chapter was squarely behind Mandatory AR. Nationals statement is not so concrete. "Some hunters love them, others hate them, but you can rest assured all have an opinion of them – we’re talking about mandatory antler restrictions. Antler restrictions do not equal “Quality Deer Management.” Rather, antler restrictions are a strategy to protect a specific age class (generally 1½-year-old bucks) or classes of bucks, and protecting young bucks is only one of several important features of Quality Deer Management. Many antler restrictions have been employed including point, spread, and beam-length requirements as well as Boone & Crockett score. All restrictions have advantages and disadvantages. In general, QDMA prefers the voluntary passing of yearling bucks to mandatory antler regulations. However, we recognize that antler restrictions may be justified in some situations to achieve specific deer management objectives. Regarding our position on specific antler restriction proposals, QDMA examines each on a case-by-case basis and applies a three-part test." The GRST-QDMA is no supporting mandatory AR and is striving to take the route of education. If they ever change their position I will no longer be involved.

" It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits" And they still don't get "it".

LIAR!!! there are no big deer there. never has been never will be.
-
Thank you.
-
It was tounge in cheek. But the mechanical releas so many use today wasn't in the original law as well that wasn't added I thik in the late 70's just before I started bow hunting. There has been a lot of progressiion in the tradition you keep speaking of.
-
They post it in the open. THere is nothing secretive about it. I will give them that. Other than wantig my father to be able, I have no interest in using one to hunt with. I have shot them before and I will stick with my Hoyt.

Sorry, had to. Couldn't resist...LOL

no haz mat fees?

I would love to see nation wide Sportsman and firearms owners going out and shopping for new providers.

NYB

Man I would love to know if that could be confirmed. That would make for an interesting press release given the attention the show cancelation has gotten.
-
I have never shipped ammo so I have no idea what is involved.

How does the Optima fit the tradition of the muzzleloading season? (I also use an inline) but with the legalization of Sabots and inlines it increases the effective range of the muzzle loader as well as making it easier to use in the woods. (by the way, kudos for answering honestly, since you knew where I was going)
