  1. You have to love that some guy was tweeting what was going on over that town. He thought it was suspicious that a helicopter was over the town, keeping him up!
  2. What was up with the burial at sea? Anyone make some sense from it?
  3. Great Job-Grow! Picture perfect opening morning.
  4. Once again wooly you have brought nature into my suburban home, I thank you for that. Now go find a Thunder Chicken!
  5. Shu, Wow what a really great thing to do. Enjoy every moment of it.
  6. I'm jealous! Won't be to camp until the third weekend, it will be tough but I'll be hunting! Giv'em hell this weekend!
  7. Sorry to hear that Ed, my condolences to you and your family.
  8. Yea, I could be your Dad-wouldn't look to good!
  9. Read the local papers out there and you get a positive view on the subject. Newsday don't even read it, do they still have a 1/2 page fishing forcast?
  10. I always believed that some country was going to pay for 9/11. The U.S. was not just going to hunt down the Taliban but was going to take out some country that was a threat or had close ties with the Taliban. Someone would pay and the world would see how the U.S. would crush anyone that brought terror to its homeland. I'm not a Bush lover but I think he had no choice. Just one of my thoughts on the subject.
  11. Check out down by Alabama, Tornado alley strikes again, 13 people lost their lives tonight.
  12. Any reports from Central western NY? Be safe it looks to be pretty bad.
  13. This guy was not hunting... he was poaching... he killed someone in the act of committing a crime... if he was robbing a store and his gun went off (even accidently) and killed the store clerk... I bet he'd be charged with murder...personally I don't see the difference here. Like I stated before... he should have gotten a stiffer sentence just for what he did leading up to killing the guy. IMO there is no excuse for killing a human because you mistook them for an animal... I don't know a single human being that looks anything like a whitetail deer... this was not an accident .. it was negligence... two different things Hey Joe, Your doing a real good Sean Hannity on me. Nice edit! My comment came from wether these accidents happen in legal hunting situations. Good try though. Don't get me wrong, I'm not disagreeing with you.
  14. Great pictures, wow, I'll look at these all day!
  15. Series was close sucks to see it end in a blow out-till next year.On to bigger and better things-good luck Turkey hunting!
  16. I guess these are all opinions nothing illegal going on in these reports Bubba. I'm not playing a game, when "you" make such statements and absolutes I will defend my opinion with facts. Really, the way you carry on it amazes me that you are a safety instructor. Some of your posts are get real twisted. I should know better then to go back and forth with you. "been there, done that" In New York, reporting of hunting injuries involving firearms is required by law, and all incidents are investigated, either by local law enforcement officers or a state environmental conservation officer. Hunting-injury reports filed with DEC include a description of the event, the primary factor contributing to the injury as determined by the investigator, and the type and color of clothing worn by the participants. Hunter orange use was defined as the wearing of one or more of the following solid orange colored garments: hat, coat, vest, or pants. The number of licensed hunters in New York during 1989-1995 was used as the denominator to calculate injury rates. Case Reports Case 1: On December 3, 1995, four hunters separated to flush deer out of an overgrown field. Two hunters walked through the field attempting to drive deer toward the other two hunters who were in a stationary position. One of the stationary hunters observed movement in the thick brush and, believing the movement to be a deer, fired his shotgun at a range of 48 yards. However, the movement had been caused by a hunter who was not wearing orange and who was struck in the chest by the shotgun slug and killed. Case 2: On October 30, 1995, two hunters looking for grouse became separated while hiking through an area of dense brush. One hunter flushed a grouse, which took flight, and fired at the bird. The other hunter, who was in the line of fire 25 yards away and dressed in camouflage clothing, was wounded by 12 pellets to the upper body. Case 3: On May 1, 1995, a licensed guide assisted a client in hunting turkey. The guide issued calls to attract turkeys. Another hunter in the area heard the calls and, believing that a turkey was nearby, began to move through open woods toward the sound. The hunter, who was wearing camouflage clothing, moved to within 40 yards of the guide and fired his shotgun after observing movement. The guide, who was not wearing orange, was wounded by shotgun pellets in the shoulder, neck, and face. Injuries During 1989-1995
