Why not get a low power scope like a Weaver V-3 1-3x20. This is a fast sight for a shotgun.

Tommyc That is to pick your day and spot, out of what is available.

Yellow or amber lenzes gather light and eliminate glare. i had a pair I used for night driving so the oncoming head lights would not blind me. Vermillion and brown tints are good for hazy or cloudy days. Darker shades are of course for bright days. I did find if I used the yellow lenzes on sunny days I got a head ache.

Clothes and shoes. I just feel naked without them.

I recently bought a Traditions Buck Stalker and like it. Just got it sighted in with 100gr of trip7 and a 240 gr hornady XTP bullet. I am finding the ML to be really fun.

My brother and I just got our numbers today as well. He got 1041 and I got 405. This will be my first shotgun season, I can't wait.

I have 3 rifles I hunt with. My Styer Mountain in 7mm-08 is my go to rifle. The Handi Rifle in 45-70 is for bad weather or heavy brush. And my Ruger 77 RSI in 250-3000 my first firearm I bought.

My brother has a 99g and the safety is on the lever. If the safety won't slide forward it could be a headspace problem. I would suggest getting a gunsmith to check the headspacing of the chamber. There may be a build up of fowling that is preventing the round from seating properly. Even if this is not the problem having a gunsmith look at it is a good idea.

Cherry hunter First off, change the name. That is the best advice I can give you. Second issue is the Hunter education course. If you have not taken one you need to. You can check on the DEC web page for locations and dates. Unfourtunately I think all the classes are done until the spring. if you intend on goining bow hunting as well you will need to take the bow hunter class as well. After you get your license then you will need a place to hunt either public or private. I do not have my own property and currently hunt the DEC land on Long Island. Long Island is bow only until January's shotgun season. I will answer any questions you have and you can pm me Phil

Great video. Nice shot. What broad head did you use? That deer left an easy blood trail. Not that you needed one.

Name it I wear it. I am not hung up on any particular pattern and wear alot of military patters in warmer weather.

The real question her is, "How much is he intending to bring into the woods with him?" If it is just a small thermus or flask, I see no real problem. On the other hand if he intends to bring a bottle or six pack then you have a problem.

It's nice to have a state forum to read. I look foward to sharing stories and info with everyone.
