All of the critters should do well. Just don't want a real wet spring, that would be bad for our turkeys.

Your wrong Bubba and for those who don't know Bubba he is a Hunter safety instructor. I could just imagine you in front of a class making that statement, my head would spin. I'm done with this cause it will go on and on. Fact is know your target before shooting and wear blaze orange, it make you much safer in the woods. Hunting Safety What You Should Know | Transporting | Field Carries | Preventing Falls | Crossing Obstacles | Zones of Fire | Safe / Unsafe Shots | Alcohol and Drugs | Blaze Orange | Final Quiz Blaze Orange Wearing highly visible hunter or "blaze" orange clothing makes it much easier for other hunters to see you and increases your safety while hunting. That's why the majority of states and provinces recommend or require hunter orange clothing for most kinds of hunting activities. See and be seen! Don't wear tan, brown or white clothing when hunting, even while wearing hunter orange, as these colors are associated with game species. Never do anything that could make someone mistake you for game, such as putting a deer over your shoulders to carry it out of the woods. Hunter orange requirements vary depending on your location and the kind of hunting you are doing. Always check and follow the regulations for the area you intend to hunt. start You are 95% complete in Hunter Safety section quiz Copyright, International Hunter Education Association, Inc. 2002

1-Hunters are not going to blaze away at objects in the woods (not wearing blaze orange) just because blaze orange is mandatory. 2-You are safer in the woods during hunting season wearing blaze orange. 3-In my opinion, take it or leave it, your an idiot if you don't wear blaze orange in the woods during hunting season. 4.I know most of you guys here wear blaze orange during hunting season.

Wow, that is alarming. That thinking is so flawed. 1. Identify your target 2. If it's a deer decide if you will take it or not 3. If it's a person w/o wearing any blaze orange, say to self- what is this guy an idiot!

I don't think 3 days of a youth gun hunt will cause any problems. Those deer will go right back to their usual patterns soon after. It's pretty green that time of year, it will make it a tough hunt. Come to think of it maybe one problem, your pissed off neighbor that's mad because your kid nailed a nice 10 point thats been traveling both properties. Could you imagine the smile on that kids face, hooked for life!

I feel it should be mandatory but like you say Ed know what your shooting at is the number 1 way to stop the accidents.

The theory that hunters will shoot at anything without blaze orange on, if mandatory, is so flawed. Doc's right its a guess.

Funny you say that, my brother was at the game the other day and met up with Rod Gilbert. They took pictures together and Rod was holding a stick, the name on it read NASH! My brother questioned him but he wouldn't give up anything.

What a great way to get his 100 goal!!!! Venison burgers and a Ranger win priceless!!!!!

Not the best picts but I like what I see for a guy trying to do something on his own. I give you credit, nice work.

So true, if it isn't a law why say something like that. I do believe it should be law, my opinion on that. Truth is even if it was law the son was gutting a deer, how many of us take off layers before doing this chore??? Something else to remember next year. His father was in his 70's and seems wasn't in the best of health. I'm 48 and know when it's almost dark you eyes can play tricks on you. I would never take a shot 100 yards near dark. I feel sorry for all of them, this never should of happened.

Ted's tarnished reputation can't be fixed by one interview on CNN. I have no need for him.

I like it but wouldn't pay more than 20 bucks. Cheapest I found was 26 bucks.

Pretty amazing, those look like blacktail deer, west coast?

Sad situation. A member of your own party. It just goes to show how careful we have to be. Twilight was the time legal hunting hours were over. That time of day when things get a little grey, you better know what your shooting at. We all know our limits and should stick to them.

Glad this operation got busted. That is a pretty bad the scene with Jimmy Houston.

That is so cool! I don't know on the noise. Find a different car to drive you bird around on. That is very noisy I have heard ones that are very quiet, may want to check out the Barbie dream car. lol Good luck with it, I think you have a winner!

Friend just sent this to me. How would you like to shoot this one? During the civil war they were used to bring down flocks of geese and ducks to feed the soldiers. They drew straws to see who had to put their shoulder behind it and pull the trigger. They have one on display in the museum in Gettysburg ... BigShotgun.wmv

Walked the property for an hour on Sunday. Saw all kinds of tracks. Found a deer leg, probably from the six pt I found by the road weeks ago. Found 12 deer beds in one area from the night before. Didn't have my shotgun with me but wouldn't you know it, 3 grouse offer perfect shots for me. That's about it.

Like it!

That is real nice!

Thanks!

Which branches do you start pruning first? I have some big apple trees and on some of the big limbs there are hundreds of small sprouts growing. Should I cut these off?

Put a chop from a LI, Catskill and Western NY deer in front of me, don't season it, cook medium to well done. I'll tell you where it came from.
