But your fuel mileage goes down the tubes, and you cant tow anything using the E85. It doesnt actually work out. And your car doesnt know you put E85 in the tank, it calculates your range by looking at how much fuel you are consuming per mile and how much fuel you have in the tank. Yes I get less milage but Not down the tubes. I don't tow anything? Where did that come from? FACT: I have filled the tank with E85 and regular gas. Without moving the truck the computer knows what gas mileage you will get by the fuel in the tank.

My brother-in-law hunted with them his first year going to Ohio. Seems like he wasn't too impressed with the guides and the stands he was put in. Nice place but he now hunts with Ludwig outfitters in Ohio. Real down to earth place.

THANKS

March storms are the worst for deer kill. Reserves running low.

I can remember gas at 25 cents/gal.

wow really! I will have to look into it for the wife and her Suburban. Does it worsen the milage by alot? I worked it out. If the flex fuel is .25 cents cheaper it's a wash between less milage and price. Anything over .25 cents it's worth it. I do see less miles per gallon in the Tahoe. At .80 cents cheaper it's a no-brainer. I am gonna have to disagree with the math here..............................It is a known fact that it takes @ 40% more flex fuel to generate the same results as regular fuel. So let say a gal. of reg. fuel is $3.80 per gal, Flex fuel is $3.00 per gal...........................flex fuel 1.4 gals = 1 gal. reg fuel......................1.4 x $3.00 = $4.20 to accomplish the same result. You would need to be able to buy flex fuel for $2.28 per gal. just to break even with reg. fuel prices. I have yet to find a single car, truck, or any vehicle for that matter that has shown a positive gain by running flex fuel. It just isn't in the cards.................... FDXX75 I get about 3 miles less per gallon with the flex fuel. Do all the math you want but for it's a win for me. If I fuel up my truck and leave for camp it's 325 miles. If I do the speed limit I end up with a little under a quarter tank. Flex fuel I end up under an 8th. It's nice that the fueling system knows that your putting in E85 and adjusts your distance you can drive.

I have a flex fuel Taho. This is the first year where it make sense to use the flex fuel. I'm getting it at .80 cents cheaper than regular. Still it's,over 3 bucks a gallon!

Very nice!

Nice place to have, mounts are super!

Good point. that's sure an option.

Heard they are going to introduce a bill that would have two weeks of crossbow only Oct 1st -14th. This would kick off the deer season. Oh yea and a 1 buck rule goes into place, 1 buck no matter what season but you can take a doe during archery (crossbow and bow season combined) and one during gun. So crossbow opponents, when that monster 160 class is cruising your property at early season you just going to let you neighbor get him with the crossbow or are you going to join the ranks??????? Hmm... I made this up, really what would you do?

Couple of towns on the North shore fought the law and won. I live in Huntington and I believe don't need a license to fish.

Funny!

Just about to buy a 2011 in Camo. Anyone out there have one of these or could give me a review on this model?

Joe, I real good point. You agreed with Steve the other day in the thread about accessing land on L.I. We as a group need to be doing more of this. We are our worst enemy. I wonder what the DEC thinks? Maybe it's up to us the (semi-senior members-ouch) of our group to spread the word. Lay down your arms come together and get something done. We all love to hunt and we should make it a great experience for all (crossbows included!)

I subscribe, good paper and Steve does a wonderful job editing it.

Honestly, i think the video sucked. Shooting deer isn't a problem, let's teach'em how to do it. I really don't care about you kills.

Man, every time I come on to this site it's politics or religion. Yea we have the space for it but what about kicking it out of recent posts? Admin- how about it? I'm here for the hunting end of it, I can go else where for the political and religion end of things.

I don't know about you guys but I think Robinson may have the first recorded picture of a Mountain Lion in NYS! He's looking right at that deer. Next essay title-How I proved them wrong! Mountain Lions do exist in NYS! wow I'm bored.............

Love the picts! Very peaceful looking.

May 1st, I hear ya!

Actually this forum is turning me off lately. You have to weed through all the political and religion stuff- have at it but I don't need to come to a hunting website to discuss this stuff. I know what you'll say don't read it if you don't like it. So be it. Bang another one taken on opening day! lol

That sounds great. On the menu this Sunday!
