price inflation is def an issue as well. I was buying .22 long rifle ammo (thunder bolt) at gander for $19.99 for a brick of 500 rounds. first off gander doesnt have any stock of .22 any more and the few people that had them in stock jacked the price up to $100 for the same brick of 500.So far I dont seem to have a probelm finding ammo for my .270 however some of the brands that were $18.99 and now 29.99. luckly for me I have ZERO issue getting slugs for my deer gun. Lightfield hybrid(white box) gander has tons and at the same price as always.. I can deal with being short on ammo for some of my other firearms but I wouldnt be able to deal if I didnt have slugs to hunt with..........

your best bet might be to find aproduce farm and ask for permission. I dont know if there are any of those types of farms over that way. you can try in Florida NY in orange county. plenty of farms and areas for turkey

He is my story. Last season I was out hunting one of my spots during the first week of the archery season. I was sitting patiently against a rock wall and I eventually dosed off for a little bit. just enough to rest but awake enough to hear for any noises around my area.. I was awoken by some stomping and a quick snort. I opened my eyes and there was this nice 8 point standing about 25 yards in front of me stareing right at me. I tried to move very slowly but my nerves were out of control and hands were shaking. I drew my bow back and as soon as I hit the release I had a feeling it was not a good shot. He was standing broadside to me and the broadhead hit him in the lower part of his neck.(dont ask how I missed the vitals by that much). I waited and tracked the blood which slowly stopped. Once there was no more sunlight I decided to come back in the morning and track again. and I got the same results, except I did find my arrow a ways away from the last blood. eventually I gave up but I knew he was still alive.. I continued to hunt that area every chance I got trying to get him again but with no luck. He pretty much dissappeared.. Opening day of gun season comes around and I decide to go to that same spot. usually I go somewhere else during gun season and leave that area for the bow. anyway. after sitting against the same rock wall for 4 hours and not falling asleep I seen a large buck coming right towards me from about 100 to 150 yards away. Head down chasing that doe scent. he came within 50 yards and turned broadside showing his right side this time and BLAMO!!!! I knew it was a good shot, however I had my doubts because after the shot he fell from the impact of the slug then ran 40 yards or so and fell again. I was sooo happy until I seen him stand back up again after about a minute laying on the ground. I was dumb founded so I let him have it again.. that time he didnt get back up. Once I got over to him I seen my first and second shots were both heart/lung shots. I could not believe how tough this buck was. and I was soo happy when I saw the scar on the left side of his neck where I had hit him with the broadhead during bow season. It was scarred over and a missing fur . I briought him to the butcher and also ordered a shoulder mount( which I am still waiting on one morre month to go till I get him back). When I picked up the meat the butcher said that he had a real nasty infection on the left side of his neck where I got him during bow season. He said it was so bad smelling that his workers were throwing up while cutting this deer up. Below is a picture of him. He tasted sssooo great.. That was a great day, my hunting partner also got a 7 point shoewn in the first picture but his buck was underneath mine.oh did I mention that this was my first mature buck.....

I too seen a gun case. and after a few minutes I still see a gun case but also kinda resembles a shoe

yes exactly! maybe 2 years ago or so. the town of Carmel in ppuntman county had a huge goose problem and trapped a few hundred and sent them to slaughter for lack of a better word. and they were suppose to send the meat to help feed the homeless, but was then forced by the health department to dispose of all the meat because of unsafe lead levels in the meat.. My buddy gets alot of geese at his farm and I wanted to venture out and try a goose hunt and try the meat but was just unsure if there were any consumption restrictions on the bird.

apparently, we are all already guilty. we just dont know it yet until it slaps us in the face. its a shame what this country is becomming....

When in season of course are Canadian Geese safe and good to eat?? I have heard a few things about the meat containing too much lead and things of that nature.

I am looking for decent to good crossbow bolts. for hunting. I am currently using the gander mountain brand it was $29.99 for a half dozen.. I have noticed that they break very easy. I am also looking for an easier way to discharge the crossbow after I come out of the woods empty handed. I have been switching the broadhead with a field tip and shooting the bolt into a pile of dirt or the grass. which also leads to broken bolts. any suggestions on new bolts and a better way to dischage.???

you really gotta be careful when taking leaks in the wild. you could end up getting bit by a snake...........

So I went down to the local gun shop today they have an indoor pistol range to do some shooting. As I was talking with a few of the guys inside. 2 men walked in and puchased a few hundred $ each worth of whatever powder the shop had in stock. We looked at them and asked jokingly, stocking up are you? and they both said Yes!! they stated they came from jersey (30 minutes away from my town) and had stopped at a few gunshops on the way up to gander mountain in middletown and buying up reloading supplies. but mainly blackpowder.. I guess they dont want to wait to see if the new amendment for jersey passes or not. One word Selfish!!

lol

alot oif hunting shows are either fake or filmed on farms. even if this is scripted I enjoy watching during the offseason none the less. Gets me pumped for the upcoming season.

tonights episode showed the one guy bringing his deer to the butcher I use. Funny how they owe the butcher $ for 3 deer already.. I gues if he doesnt get paid he will gain $ from the advertising..

or worst yet how many of us walk on them and crush them and never notice at all

nice pictures!!

well chasing tail is no swamp people and its surly no duck dynasty. However, I was pretty entertained for the most part and will continue to watch.

I am right handed and left eye dominant I shoot shotguns and rifles with any type of sight on them as a lefty. . its not a big deal really just have her practice shooting lefty. even if the gun is for a righty.

welcome.

Ill give a try. maybe time will allow me this time

The Drama club at the school I work for just had a school play over this past weekend. in the play 2 people had a orange water pistol each and "ACTED" shooting another in an assassination plot.. Even had the sound effects and all...... I guess my school isnt filled with those yuppy folk

These poeple will not stop for anything to take away our firearms. They are coming up with excuse after excuse untill everyone is disarmed. we are not winning......sad

sighting in my new rifle. Got a remington 700 in .270 then making sure my shotgun and bow are sighted in correctly. Then always loooking for more spots to hunt. Also waiting to get my mount back in June of my 8 point from laast season

cant say im surpurised about any of this. one way or another we the people will be stripped of our firearms. and then NYS will have the highest amount of mentallly unstable people in the country. because everyone will be labeled as a mental health risk

what a moron this guy is.. I read the whole article and got more and more angry as I got closer to the end. then I made the mistake of reading the comment section. Good thing I had an extra mouse to use...

i will be dvring this show but I can see negative feedback from a lot of people about this show. one of the previews showed one guy dragging a doe across a lawn by the neck and another was them hanging a doe. to us this is normal but to others it is animal crulity and I think it may spark something. Who knows what will happen now a days.....
