Culvercreek hunt club

I appreciate the story and feel bad that your hunt was ruined....just one question. How do you know the does that came by you were the target if there wasn't a scratch?

I love my 30-30....carry it a lot when I plan on doing a lot of walking----havent shot a deer with it yet but my father has taken quite a few with it. JKZ----It just isn't as glamourous as most I guess...lol

I am not sure if I believe this or not...lol I got this email stating---- No one has a swing speed of 150 mph, including Tiger Woods who is just under 130 mph. I had no idea the golf ball compresses this much. But first a little history I recently learned: 1- The Pro V-1 golf ball by Titleist is actually a three part ball, but you have to have a club head speed of at least 100 mph or more to be able to compress all three stages...If you don't the ball never fully compresses and you don't get the distance out of it that the pro's do. 2- We, will get more distance out of a ball that only has two stages of compression... Like the Titleist NG Tour. It is more suited to our swing speed and we can compress it upon impact and can hit it further than the Pro V-1 ball. 3- So the secret is not to buy the most expensive balls out there because we are actually decreasing the distance we can hit the ball, unless your club head speed is over 100 mph, which unless you are 21 to 50 years old, isn't going to happen!!! Watch this video, this shows what a golf ball goes through when hit at 150 mph...it's amazing to me how long these balls last. Maybe that's why the Pro's use new balls ever time they play.... http://www.flixxy.com/golf-ball-slow-motion.htm

Ballistically...i know load depending ---but ---a .243 is only a couple hundred foot pounds of energy less than the 7mm-08 out to 200 yards. and has plenty of killing powere at that range. An let's face it how many of us really shoot deer at that range. One thing I did find funny though.....probably the gun responsisble for taking more deer throughout history and carried by many still today......the 30-30.....is less capable (ballistically) from the muzzle out to 200 than the .243 is.

size wise he is very capable of handling a larger caliber, but the preemiss of the original post is the kid is scared of shooting. he is 14 and you do not want hin to get spooked. I would use the .243. Light recoil and you know what...spend the $300 and if after a couple years the kids likes it and is comfortable...upgrade him. either sell it (even if you take a bath for $100 it is worth it to get him into it) or keep it and he has a small caliber deer/predator/varmit rifle. The .243 has taken many deer and many kids have started with it.

I love them. I never had any blade damage and have taken rib sections clean out. I never lost a blade and I have resharpening them down to a science if I have to (Lansky knife sharpening system works great on removable blades). Repalcements are $20 for 6 blade sets. I shot them and went to mechanicals and after two bad experiences I am right back with them. I am thinking of trying the Rage 2 blades though...just a little too late to change this year

I wouldn't worry about the abrasion as much as the shock rating of it. If they are selling the system it must be rated for it. I would be willing to bet there is paragraphs of disclaimer on the thingstating to keep the connection point high and not designed as a fall arrest system. The number one consideration is keep the connection point above you and the line as short as possible. You could put 300 pounds easily on a line rated for 300 and hang from it. I wouldn't want it to stop my fall though. fully geared I am over 250 and that 250 generates a lot of force while falling.

When you get the voice activated wife let me know...I want stock in that product...lol

I have seen that one.....I want a button on the handle of the riser I can just hit with my index finger...lol. I can just imagine me holleering at the deer to "wait a minute" while I look for the buttons...lol. Oh well ...day late and a dollar short

Do you know if the 119 Pathfinder is US? That is the one I had stolen and want to replace it

i have never seen one that was inline in the stabilizer and simple one touch on/off...hell maybe this is my 15 minutes of fame!!

I always thought the place to put a camera was in a stabilizer with a button switch on the grip to activate it. if you hold o the target like you are supposed to you could see the actuall arrow shot pretty darn easy. I mean it is pointing there anway ...right? I hate shooting with my glasses on the POI changes with them on VS off

Let me check with the timber company I lease from and see if they know any good ones in that area.

Ok guys let me throw a bit of info on this. Price Goldline climbing rope.....$$$$$. The stuff you buy at 300 rated pounds is static load. falling is not static load. In the construction industry the standard is set as follows. the connection point has to be rated for 5,000 pounds......know anything 5,000 pounds...your truck. there is a safety factor (i think of 2) built in on that but a 250 pound guy falling 6 feet will generate well OVER the 300 you are trusting your life too. Don't do it. I have seen demonstrations of different systems in this business and I couldn't believe some of the ones I thought were fine...failed. That is a great knot and have used it in climbing......would just hate to see anyone laying on the ground with a nicely tied knot connected to a severed frayed rope.

I had a buck 110 and the fixed blade buck with the black handle. I really got so I liked the fixed blade better. Just seemed easier to clean and sterizile. I lost them both when my fanny pack got lifted out of my truck at a restaurant during breakfast. I havene't replaced them yet this year. On a side note...there are several plating iperations throughout the sate and a few that do heat treating. I have no idea how much it would cost but they are there. I know one in syracuse and I think Quackenbush in Herkimer is out of business now.

Gotta agree with these guys.....food related. The seasonal crops are in and out and they will move to take advantage of them until they are gone and then back to the old stand by. I think of myself.....I love steak and potatoes....but for every meal......if I found out or stumbled across someplace offering free spaghetti and meatballs....I'd have to hit it...lol

Even if you reply and find the topic heads off in a direction you do not like you always have an option to unsubscribe to it. (great feature). There are topics I read and didn't interest me that much but I just have the choice to not continue following them. I hate to see this site get handcuffed and to be honest I probably would end up reading most of the topics in that part of the forum most of the time....lol I like the debate. It actually give me a view of what is out there across the state for opinions

As is everything you have posted on this thread. A more natural age structure, protection of yearling bucks, and a better buck to doe ratio the herd will result in a more healthy herd. Older bucks, even the 1.5's that are protected by AR's leads to smarter and more mature bucks. A more mature buck is larger, giving them the chance to survive harsh winters. A more mature buck has a great chance of evading predators. As we all know the rut wears bucks down, they use their reserved fat stores. In area's where the buck to do ratio is also out of whack, or area's where most bucks are harvested, combined with a harsh winter will result in buck deaths and or malnourished bucks. Regardless, if we did have a proper age structure in place, which is what I was originally pointing out, the more mature and healthiest bucks would be the ones doing a majority of the breading. Where an age structure exists is when bucks have the change to fight, and prove dominance, and the most fit and healthiest bucks would be doing the breeding... But the difference between you and me is.....I have never tried to pass opinion off as science or fact....which you continue to do.

..I sure do wish there was a cause determination before they moved on a management plan. I would think you need to understand what made the situation before you could try to fix it....you is the management group not you NY.

Opinion

You must be hanging out with a better crowd than I am....That amount of disposable income is pretty hard to come by the last few years for most

Don't jsut call one....treat it like a coompetative bid. Outline everything you want done and the condidtion you want the area left in. Cover it all up front and go with the best pricing.........PS let them know you are looking at other ones too.

I can't speak for others But for me----Steve is right. If I didn't hunt I would not be putting in food plots. What ever the other benefits to the deer they provide, my primary concern is draw. If I didn't hunt I wouldn't have the property to plant them on. If I wanted to help wildlife and didn't hunt I would probably just donate to an organization that benefited the wildlife.

Steve you liar!!!----I dind't know your name was Adam
