Thanks for giving your thoughts.

Update, I think I am going with the new small Glock 43 in 9mm.

Zem, thanks for the advice. I am currently using my chief special which is a nice gun but I just wanted one a little slimmer and lighter with a few more rounds to boot. I will post if I pull the trigger on a new one. Pun intended.

Thanks to all of you for your input. I was glad to hear of the good experiences but I guess I'll avoid the Taurus. I should know better as I was stung by a bad new KelTec back in the day too, as well as a bad used Charter bulldog.

Thanks for the feedback the $200 difference between the 709 and a small Glock will not help if the Taurus fails.

Does anyone have any first hand knowledge about this pistol? It has sparked my interest but have trouble trusting it, I guess because it's foreign. I do trust my Glock but I believe they are in a separate class and mine is a full size not compact. Any info appreciated.

Congrats Bill

Some great prices right there. Already bought mine for a lot more or I'd be taking the stainless.

I never have done waterfowl hunting, but I have done some small game in the past. Recently I mostly concentrate on big game.

First I was thinking of his daughter Ivanka who came up with the family assistance plan, but I would vote for any of them before a Dem. Second what difference does residency matter, don't you remember Hillary carpet bagging here to run for senate. BTW I wrote this yesterday but didn't get a chance to post cause of other distractions then woke up and saw Hillary is thinking of running for mayor of NYC. She lives in Westchester where she owns two multi million dollar mansions but I'm sure the liberal sheeple would elect her. Maybe she can get a subsidized apt like Wrangel got caught using for an office.

I think the shotgun season is for county residents only and by lottery unless you have private land to hunt. The bow hunting is good and runs till the end of January I believe, just beware of ticks and take all measures you can. Good luck.

Why not Trump jr after all we have Cuomo jr.

7mm-08 won't hurt and can handle larger game. Good luck.

I don't know of any web sites but I have hunted there a few times. First go to their state agency Inland Fish and wildlife and read as much as you can for a start. I learned most of southern Me doesn't have public land it's all private. Second I get The Northwoods Sporting Journal which has articles about each section but has a ton of ads for outfitters, lodges , motels and cabin rentals. I would also tell you to go on VRBO vacation rentals by owner. I found a reasonable cabin for a week long bear hunt with a hundred acres of private land to hunt. In hind site an outfitter would have been better and more money but my buddy and I each saw a bear so it was a good deal. If you go to the Great North Woods there are less places to stay and beside the daily entrance fee you will buy a lot of gas but I did get my bull there so it was worth every cent. Where ever you go talk to the locals especially people in the state check stations where every deer and moose has to be brought to. Sometimes it's a sporting goods store but sometimes it's a deli or gas station. Now they won't give you their best spot but they will tell you where public hunting land is. You can always call the IF&W with questions they are nice people and helpful. Good luck.

Congrats and good luck.

Congrats, looks like a beauty.

Sorry for the bad news but it is at least a decent package, hopefully she will land in a better position. As NY Hunter said try not to let it ruin your holiday. Good luck.

Not sure of the geography but it looks good on this site a cabin with 13 acres good luck.

As far as carrying a knife in NYC I believe the max blade length is now 2.75" but it must be visible not in pocket and not clipped on pocket with the knife inside the pocket. I saw some guys carrying their knives clipped to pockets but with the knife on the outside. I think a belt sheath is legal with the correct length knife.

Congrats. Looks like you guys had a blast.

I predict Obama will claim to convert to Islam so he could be the first Muslim president and come out of the religious closet he's been in. Second I think he will try to get a position in the one world movement he and Hillary want. I think that's why he pushed TPP . The TPP takes in many Muslim countries and I think that's what he sees in his future. He did his best to ruin our country as pres and now can openly help our enemies. BTW if you don't think Obama is behind the violent protests funded with Soros money I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. I wish President Trump would hold them responsible for the damages and security costs. PS I wrote this as Rattler was posting his comment but I agree with him 100%

Good luck, just being there for that long is a real treat. Hope you can get a buck too.

Well if you are going the shed route find out from your town what their regs are. In my town they allow 12x12 without a tax increase plus you could upsize the ceiling height to accommodate future trophies. BTW You can put in a propane heater for cold weather which I think will cost less than electric. Good luck.

My first rifle was a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem. Now have a 336 in 30-30 and a Marlin 1894 in 41 mag which is a very handy rifle.

A salute to a hero in blue and prayers for him and his family.
