  1. When I started hunting I used to camp in the Adirondacks, Moose River Area. It was fun but I felt I was spending more time camping than hunting.. I would try to get back to camp before dark to get the fire started. After six or so years I started hunting the Catskills out of rental units like Motels or lodges and eventually bought a camp down there which was closer to my home in LI. I loved it but couldn't do it now.
  2. The only requirement I have heard was you have to list it on your pistol permit to hunt with it and then only single shot 45 or 50 cal. I believe CVA makes an inline that is legal to hunt with. I don't think you could carry it loaded without a permit and having it listed but that's just my guess. They have changed the law recently to hassle law abiding people and accomplish zero to hurt their protected class, you know felons.
  3. I have to say the cheap plastic sleds tip easily on uneven ground so you have to tie your load to the sled. Not sure if jet sled is immune to that but I would tie the load down just after experiences I've had with the flat ones.
  4. I have said for many years that reparations are deserved. First we have to find out who was descended from slaves as just being black does not qualify a person. Second we have to hold the places in Africa who sold slaves accountable as it was their idea. In fact they still practice slavery in that part of the world but it doesn't bother Democrats only what happened here 200 years ago. They blame people who weren't here or were here but didn't own any slaves. Third we should hold accountable the countries who engaged in transporting the slaves as they didn't swim here and we weren't even a country for half the time, Last reparations have been decided I think it was 40 acres and a mule. So luckily with advanced DNA tests we can find out what part of Africa the victims came from and that country should provide the land. Of course that's fair because part of the reparations is to compensate victims from being stolen from their country. The countries who shipped the slaves should have to provide free transportation. We should provide the mule. I would be ok with substituting a small tractor but the mule is probably better as fuel costs may be a burden. Last any victim who doesn't want this deal should sign a NDA to shut up for the rest of their lives. Most of us came here fleeing poverty and starvation from Europe and found far better lives than our families faced in their home countries. Most of us faced discrimination when we arrived here whether Irish, Italian or whatever. Now I know slavery was a far worse fate for the poor victims who lived it but not only is it over but a half a million American white people died to end it. Does that count for anything? Are there any reparations to those families?
  5. Lube, I think you're over committed to this property. First I think prices have come down since two years ago. More important you aren't considering all your sweat equity your giving away for free. I would think for 3K a year you could finance a smaller parcel that would suit your needs and you would own it. You might have to travel a bit to it but there's nothing like owning your own land. Good luck.
  6. I too have had all good experiences. Sometimes a real home run.
  7. I use a Primos monopod trigger stick. It can be adjusted from standing to sitting height. Has anyone noticed the new type they're using that's a tripod with a locking mechanism that holds the rifle in place without touching it. A little too much for me. I also use mine as a walking stick.
  8. Thank you for the info. Like I said not worth getting into trouble over.
  9. Does anyone know the law regarding mailing ammo in NY. Can I mail ammo out of state? What about face to face sale? I found some ammo I can't use but not worth getting in trouble over.
  10. I believe those rounds are fine. I use the same type in my 30-30. They should be flat nose lead tip so they don't set off the rounds in the tubular magazine. The letters SP stand for soft point.
  11. Not to say you're wrong but 3x9 is the classic scope from the old days for that and most deer rifles. That's what was recommended to me when I started in 1972 for my Marlin 35. I still have a 3x9 on my Marlin 30-30 but I'm sure your idea would have worked fine.
  12. To answer your question Yes. I paid $70 a box for 7-08 a while back at the height of the ammo shortage and I feel that was insane btw I bought two and have gotten it a lot cheaper since and didn't use any of it yet. Paranoia will destroy ya.
  13. Congrats and please tell us which zone.
  14. Guys, thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I am leaning towards a G48 unless of course they have a shiny bobble that distracts me when I go to buy it lol.
  15. Thanks for the input Al. The requirements are in NJ and the typical spiteful response to the Bruen decision I believe. I did hear that a judge put a hold on these conditions for the time being but started on this path to be prepared. Of course now that I received a pistol purchase document I will use it for something.
  16. I am planning on buying a Glock G48 for CCW but wanted input and alternatives, I can go a little higher in price but not as far as a Wilson, Ed Brown or similar custom pistols. I have a Springfield XDe with external hammer but the holster I bought only allows the retention strap use if cocked and locked at this point I might as well have a 1911. Yes I could buy another holster but this has brought up the whole safety decocker issue plus the short barrel of 3.3 inches seemed fine but now I might have to take a test which includes 25 yard range targets. I thought the longer barrel 4.17 inches would help plus the lack of safety decocker should simplify things. I have a Gold Cup and G22 which I could qualify with but then that would be my CCW and they're on the large side for this purpose. I also feel that I should get one carry gun and train with that gun on more intense and frequent basis so a 1911 or other models are not out of the question but the simplicity of the Glock does appeal to me. I've had the G22 for years and like it but too large for concealed carry especially if I can only carry 10 round mags. Any advice and suggestions appreciated.
  17. Just a heads up there's two weeks left to apply for the drawing in June. Good luck to all members.
  18. That must be some buck. Good luck this season.
