  1. I practice 20-30 yards. Never shot a deer over 25 yards and most shots were within 20 yards.
  2. It's pretty simple right here, if it goes against your grain-you deal with it. No laws were broken. Hunting is the practice of pursuing any living thing, but usually wildlife for food, recreation, or trade. In present-day use, the term refers to lawful hunting, as distinguished from poaching, which is the killing, trapping or capture of the hunted species contrary to applicable law. The species which are hunted are referred to as game, and are usually mammals and migratory or non-migratory gamebirds. Hunting can also involve the elimination of vermin, as a means of pest control to prevent diseases caused by overpopulation. Hunting advocates state that hunting can be a necessary component[1] of modern wildlife management, for example to help maintain a population of healthy animals within an environment's ecological carrying capacity when natural checks such as predators are absent.[2] In the United States, wildlife managers are frequently part of hunting regulatory and licensing bodies, where they help to set rules on the number, manner and conditions in which game may be hunted.
  3. Poor little guys, now who going to make the commercial???? Woodchucks - GEICO Commercial
  4. Was walking down 8th ave in NYC last night. It's real nice a lot of restaurants and bars. At 6pm people came out of the bars and were looking to the heavens at 6:03 they were yelling we're still alive, let's keep the party going. It was pretty funny!
  5. Nice Bubba, I bought the 400 this year and thought that was a mule. I can imagine the power your getting from the 750. Pretty pricey machines but worth it. The financing is so silly 1.9 % for 5 years, I'll pay 400 bucks interest on the loan, a win!
  6. Sure it wasn't John Deere! lol
  7. Really? Oh yea, some had very good jobs that they quit!
  8. Once plugged a trailer into my Blazer and there was a faulty ground wire, it burned the wire harness in the Blazer. Cost me about 700 bucks to fix, that was back in 1988-89. Yes trailer wiring sucks. Good luck picking up the quad, enjoy!
  9. Awesome! Can't wit to tell my Daughter-time to buy her a real good hunting bow. See it works-spending money already!
  10. Can you believe there are actually people out there burning through their savings and splurging on things thinking it all ends tomorrow????? I think the good people have until November and they go to heaven, I guess all those teachers are the first to go ! lol
  11. There are actually more cars out there that require the higher octane gas than youd figure. Most of the high performance cars require it, and run like crap on regular. I work with 2 guys who have cars that they have to run hi test in. Very true about the high performance cars. Most new cars the onboard electronics and fuel injection sensors can adjust to the octane level in the gas so the cars runs fine.
  12. That guy lives right by me. I'm looking him up to see if I can check out the mount, must be huge!
  13. Is everyone filling up with regular gas??? If so why doesn't the price of high test gas come down??? A) They are making so much freaken money they don't care All pumps are hooked up to one big tank, it's a scam C) The rich still buy because they have money to burn D) all of the above
  14. That is one nice deer, He's got some shoulders!
  15. That is amazing, good for those who were able to do this. It sucks for the rest.
  16. papa I would use the wire, those blues love the tubes and tear them apart. Won't hurt adding a bit more weight it will get down faster.
  17. Burt, stop you are breaking my heart. That's exactly what they want you to believe, they do squat and get paid a ton. My taxes went up $1600 for this year no notice just the increase in my mortgage, so guess how I voted. $9000 a year for what?? They play on your sympathy that they are hurting the children if you don't pass the budget. Know what hurts the children when their parents lose their job , they also don't have the same benefits the teachers do. So the teachers are just protecting themselves. On Long Island we just pay high school taxes so our children move to another state to live because they can't afford to live here, does this make any sense to you. So the tax payers get nothing for their money, our children have to move so who makes out on the deal the teachers. So don't tell me how hard they work you insult us. Also remember this they pensions are guaranteed by NYS of when the pension fund loses money from bad investments the tax payer must make up the difference. How many workers have that type deal, when we lose money in our 401K it's no one is backing up our losses. You touched a raw nerve!!! Dave Sorry Dave I respectively disagree. I know people in these positions and every word I say is true, no brainwashing here. High taxes are a bitch and it sucks that you have to move. I'm thankful with such a large family this has not been the case with us. That all I'm saying back to the hunting show!
  18. My daughter turns 12 in Sept. She has already asked to take the safety course. I'm really excited about it, nothing like taking a kid out for their first hunt!
  19. This is a tough subject especially when we are in the economic situation we are in now. Years ago the retirement package and benefits were great for teachers. This has gone down through the years. There are retirement tiers and each one gets less and less with time. One thing to remember when talking about administrators of schools, most of them their work is their way of life. They take care of you children, their education and safety. They have 11-12 month positions, 1-2 meeting per week that go late into the night and weekend duty(sports, plays you name it). Those highly compensated administrators are worth every penny. There are bad apples in every segment of society, some are harder to get rid of than others. I believe some change needs to take place with union policies but voting down a budget just hurts the kids and the school moral more than you will ever know.
