Culvercreek hunt club

I have used a track loader just like you said....works great.

dozers tend to pick up the soil when using for clearing. I like using one this a root rake on it. grabs brush and roots in one pass while leaving most of the soil. Works good on saplings and brush. if you are planning on planting the more root mass you can get remo0ved the better. Pines will some out much nicer than hardwoods. some of those may need to be dug around to cut the roots if the machine you have is small. I have taken out some pretty big trees with an excavator in a 10,000# class. I have a brush grabber and that works pretty well with a good wheeler or a small tractor.

That is why I just can't bring myself to buy a really nice one. I know gone is gone but it just hurts less...lol

Bill, what Ny state land is a ranger taking tree stand off from? Curious because all the state land I have been on allow them to stay up. I have never seen a regulation against cameras either.

I have had terribel luck with fold back mechanicals. the only 3 deer I have not had pass throughs on was with them. No heavy bone was hit but he angle was on the 25-30 degree quartering away shot. I am back to fixed to stay. (Montec G5) I have heard of guys having good luck with rear deploying blades like Rage. just never got into them. Oh and my fixed fly the same and have the same point of impact as my field tips.

I agree I was trying to make the point that the DEC isnt around every tree...lol. In all my years I have been checked 2 times fishing, 3 time hunting and all 3 were waterfowl hunting. (35 years)

Every County is different. some have an interview process...some hav eto take a safety/training course/ some required 3 references ..some 4...I am sure there are other differences and that is kind of my point too. it should be the same...for everyone. If you are planning on infringing on a RIGHT you better make sure it is equally done

come up with something that will work and not just a hinderance for the good folks and I could probably support it. I won't support a law for the sake of a law

I have made 2 "crop" reports and 2 baiting reports and not one has ever been investigated.

NY does a Mental health background check but if you have not bee treated (and I believe it is in a institution of hospital for mental issues) it doesn't show up. SO if someone were to just break like it appears this guy did there probably wasn't a record. I hae no idea what CO has for rules but there are states that all you need is a driver's license and you are good to go. Maine is one that comes to mind. I had to fill out a form stateing I had no mental issues and I think there was a place to consent to the check. THis may take the OLD fruitloops out of hte mix but the new and fresh kind are probably getting through.

And there is the problem!!! It is easy to pass do nothing laws that make everyone feel good when they apply to law abiding folks. They do NOTHING to stop criminals. As a side note----I am glad this guy had an AR and Glocks. If the accounts I am seeing are right, he didn't use the shotgun as much as the other wepons. Imagine the darnage if he had a a semi shotgun with buck shot and a pile of rounds in that tight quarters.

I personally don't have a problem jumping through a hoop to get a permit. (mine took 4.5 months but I think the FBI background check I had gone through just prior to applying might have helped). I do hae a problem jumping through multi[ple hoops and having someone constantly changing the size and location of the hoops. If I am valid on my pistol permit I shouldn't have to have a federal check...Heck the best bet would be a federal permit with complete reciprocity across state lines.

The diference for my was the other guy PM's me after first post and said "Fu#k off" Kinda changes the attitude a bit...lol

I am not saying a word......don't wan tto be called mean again...lol

I remember that well,. I thought they were at longer distances than would be in a theater though.

Great thought line....make legal guns tougher to get so the sheep are really at the mercy of the wolves. Poster child for what is wrong with the country. I would rather see mandatory training for EVERYONE. I have never had body arnmor on and never been shot with it one.....I do know one Officer that was shot in the chest with a 45 while wearing it. It took him off his feet. Said it felt like someone hit him in the chest with a full swing baseball bat. That armor with stop the penetration but will still allow the release of the energy. This guy wanted the spot light. I think if he really wanted to do damage and was willing to die there would have been an explosion at the end of the slaughter. He must have had the smarts to build a bomb...he did it at his apartment. I believe if he was confronted he would have folded.

Question?----if there are such high numbers of support as is claimed by the proponents and that seems to be consistent with the survey on this thread......70+% in favor in some form or another. Why would it need to be mandated if 70% want it. Does that mean that a lot of the 70% don't have the constitution to follow their beliefs unless it is mandated by the DEC? If it is that popular of a concept wouldn't it be in practice and no need for a regulation?

I look at the theaters I have been in. you exit down to the front on either side. he is standing at the bottom in front of the screen. you have to advance into fire to get your family out. I have been travelign so I have been out of the loop on info but he had to be just shootign them as they ran to the choke points. fish in a barrel WNY. if you took your family that route they would be in the count.

NFA...kind of difficult to make the test to hard....we have 11 and 12 year olds taking it. I honestly believe that safety for most hunters goes like this. New hunters are very safe because they are a little nervous and it is so new. They follow the instruction they got. Old experienced hunter a mostly safe because they have seen and heard of all the things that can go wrong. I think it is the hunters in the hunters that are just coming out of the New hunter stage that could pose the biggest threat. It is that comfortable feeling that allows us the get copmplacent and that is the danger zone. This can always happen to all types of hunters but just like the bow hunting instructor said that gave me my course....the new hunters and very experienced hunters aren't the ones with a high liklihood of wounding the deer. It is the hunter that has a few years under his belt and thinks he is better than his ability is. the 35 yard shot looks doable. Probably the same in anything from driving to hunting to workign construction.

Unless you need them to...lol

I would be willing to bet there is no poaching violation there. They would be ticketed for other than poaching. I also now guys from years back that felt the DEC would cut back on deer harvest numbers so they didn't report does either. Old mentality. I don't get why this is so tough. you call it in. When new licensing time is here you bring in unused tags. they are scanned intothe system . better be all there from the reported ones to the unused ones. if not...you don't get that tag that year. lose you unuse either sex? not this year. forget to report it...fine. bring it in and after the fine you get the new years tag. Let the computers and the stors selling the license do the work. No extra ECON officers needed. I would think with the automated system this would be a breeze with the bar codes

Might have had more participation if it wasn't scheduled at a time when many are still working.

Nothing wrong with drives. It can be very productive and when safety rules are followed no different than walking in to a stand. I have hunted up north with a group of 40,,,yes 40... drove whole mountains and went from sunrise to sunset. never had an issue. Not having BO should never be an issue for mistaking a target. It can help in a background situation though.

I was going to say Poughkeepsie but didn't want to spell it wrong...lol
