SOLD thanks, cant figure out how to DELETE the post?

Rick, great guns, I have several Stevens 22-410s, I sold most and kept a 22lr and a 22mag 410, who knows I may part with one and will email you. meanwhile, gunsamerica.com and auctionarms.com are the best bests for finding them right away.

in Manhattan?? Isnt there a big park right in the middle of the island? EDIT: how about a parking garage? or even a junk yard or empty building? just get it on paper and then fine tune it with a target you bring with you wherever he is going to be shooting or hunting with it.

bought a Parker Wildfire Extreme XP outfitter package last year at bass pro, tagged out with my recurve and never hunted it. tagged out in Mass, VT and one left to go in NY with it this year though and it shoots well, just prefer a longbow or recurve, lot lighter when you get older. I wanted it for treestands because the longbow is too long often, this worked great in the tree! BUt its dang near 4 pounds just the bow, my long bow is a pound! This is the bow package,the Right Hand 60-70#, I got rid of the walnut grip it was cold and added the rubbery warm to the touch grip, have a half dozen XX75s with a hard case. set at 30" and 70 pounds but Parker says its cake to adjust down to 26". Looking for $350 pickup in SW Vermont or nearby meet. I do not want to mail it. Thanks http://www.basspro.c.../10206738/84638 EDIT! I forgot i put the whisker biscuit on not the hostage rest.

gotta be careful throwing scores around, unless there is a copy of an offical sheet included someone or two or three are gonna throw the BS flag. 180 net and you can fit your hand around it with ease? with teh foreground shot like that the G2s are looking twice their real size,. Its a nice deer but that scored 180 gross?? unlikely. and net? no way. once you take a few 'monster racks' and have them Officially scored suddenly you understand how truly large a 140 and 180 are in a typical. Neither of these below scored over 125 net , the minimum for P&Y, and you can put the bottom rack around your waist if you wear a 38 pants. all bears are 400 pounds, all bucks 200# and all racks are well into the record books. Maybe its time for the min score of 125 to be raised, there are hundreds of book deer killed on here alone!

landowner gave me 2 wildgame cameras, he paid $49 each for them, cant get anything to trip them and gave them to me as a thank you for repairing a canoe for him. I set them out Sun night and got 17 photos on the two, max range is 40 feet daylight and 25 feet night, the trigger is about a second. Not bad for under 50 bucks I dont think. he was facing them to a 60 acre field not on runs, just facing a field. That's too far to trigger them.

I am as equal opportunity as anyone, probably more than most, I dislike everyone the same. "People are....", ....Lazy, Stupid, selfish, morons, slobs, disrespectful, ghey, poor sports, ignorant, pain in the asses. and you can substitute for " PEOPLE" any other term you want, ie, Black, White, City dweller, Logger, Farmer, Woman, Kid, Hound Hunter, Bowhunter, Fisherman, Feminist, Racist, Liberal...guides.... PEOPLE are all those things, a PERSON is not. I have guided full time year round for over 30 years, as did my father and his father and his father. One thing remains true and one thing only, people are easy to hate....a person is not. well that, and for enough money a guide can tolerate anyone. LOL. the OP is taking an emotion he or she has and is shotgunning a generalization out there to express it. I wont waste time trying to argue it, not until the OP says clearly what it is the issue is, I hear you saying" I hate when people wound and lose deer. I hate bowhunters because I think they do it most." If that is your statement? I will agree with the first part, especially now that leashed tracking dogs are wide spread in NY and are FREE to call and use. second statement? bowhunters wound and lose more deer than other hunters? the numbers simply are not there to back that up. Rifle season especially when there are doe tags, leads the way for unrecovered deer. Now let me ask the OP this; Do you think the deer hunter losing a deer means that deer is wasted? everything that eats meat will eat a dead deer. consider this. what happens to the 400 million animals hit and killed in the USA every year on the roads? University testing labs torture over and over then finally kill 100 million animals a year in the USA. I honestly ask why a comparebly tiny number of bowhunting lost deer ticks you off with 400 million animals hit on the roads per year and wasted and that doesnt bother you? 100 million animals having hairspray and gasoline sprayed in their eyes to see if it blinds them, dogs, cats, monkeys and rabbits being given cancer and birth defects doesnt bother you? the handful of deer lost to hunters but still part of the mountains ecology...that bothers you most? Boy, I wish I were you and a few deer being lost to hunters and eaten by eagles, coyotes, fox, bear, possums, coons, birds, owls, ravens, crows, mice, weasels, mink, fisher, bobcats, et als, was my main problem in life. I will make you a deal, get the UNiversities in the USA to stop torturing animals and I will make sure all hunters ahve the means to recover all wounded deer if fatally wounded.

you can find maps for taxes by doing a Google search for whatever county you need , " Washington County NY Tax Map GIS" for example. some counties get real in depth, I can fins sales info in some counties, last sold, to who, their address, atc, and in other counties it will only tell you owner name and value, size, etc.

4 tires 265/70/17 with ok tread left, all season free must take them to get the 4 like new Arctic Claw winter tires, studded, also 265/70/17 less than 1,500 miles on them. tires are near Bennington, VT. would like them gone asap.

passed it on to all I could.

like guides. who the state makes money off of. LOL.

Don't post it. when city people buy somethiung they slam up teh posted signs, even on tiny parcels that no one ever would go on...except to break balls . we never posted a single piece of our lands, ever, most we sold to the state since thye had us over a barrel with their offers, some to timber companies, and some fairly large pieces to private people...who immediately ran out and posted the land, at least road frontage. guess which properties are always having problems with tresspass? yepper. we were raised that you are simply a steward of the land, not an owner of it anymroe than two fleas can argue over who owns the dog they are on. the sign may say "POSTED" to you, but to everyone else reads " mine mine mine mine mine", maybe its a mindset that comes from what you are brought up on, and what you come to see as rude behavior, the big yellow " F*$&$ YOU" sign you put up invites people to disrespect you in turn. it isnt a matter of the law, its a matter of not understanding there are two different cultures coming together

I have friends that only use the legs, they fill crockpots with the drumsticks. I like them too much to take that many, though why I let them go past me to be slaughtered in the south all winter I dont know. if I showed you photos you'd shake your head wondering how many woodcock must be on the table to make a pile of drumsticks that big.LOL

Another woodcock season come and gone. I can't believe it, where the hell does the time go?

thats correct. and if you tested your deer for heavy metals and cadmium in particular you'd freak out and sell your gear and buy butterballs. breasted out they taste like duck or any other dark meat, like pheasant, and any recipe you would do for breasted skinless pheasant, goose, duck or even liver works well. Add bacon, everything is better with bacon. young crows, Massachusetts for them, is EXCELLENT eating and I grill them boneless breast wrapped around a water chestnut and pinned with two strips of thick smoked bacon. grill over indirect heat, as always, until 160F , anything too over done for you give to the dog but I've seen too much in too many places to ever eat less than well done meat. I speed loaded the fowler for a double that went over very well on the grill.

the turkeys are not in number where I have been hunting, little scratching there and here, but haven't had a shot on one yet. finishing out the snipe and woodcock seasons and if I grab the bow for deer I bet I see plenty of turkeys at 100 yards. lol. about out of time, I missed the entire fall season in MA, closes tomorrow I think. and VT not far behind it, but its all NY for me this next week. I have 70 cords of wood to take out of the national forest before dec and I bet you I see birds everyday when its closed. typical. I rely on fall tags since the spring season ruins my bowfishing. GOOD LUCK! get out there and get some for me.

nearest state that allows rifle hunting is PA, or used to, I'm sure they still do for fall at least. 22 magnum right where the wing joins the body, like an arrow, plop down they go.

what's a "chipmunk"

saw a very nice 8pt this morning, neck all swelled up, and a 6pt running with his nose to the ground, it'd be nippy in the stands first light still snow on the ground and 20sF but that's the time to be there this weekend.

Hello Eric, good luck and remember that you can't bring a NY deer into VT unless you follow the new CWD regs. Not breaking stones, only trying to save you fines, tickets and problems. "In order to legally transport into Vermont and possess big game that was legally taken in another state or country, a person must keep the tag that is required by the state or country where the big game was taken. Each package of meat must be marked with the name of the person who took the animal, tag number, date, and state or country of origin. H2.5 Rules on importing and possession of deer or elk from areas with Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and captive hunt areas or farms: It is illegal to import or possess legally taken deer or elk, or parts of deer or elk, from states and Canadian provinces that have had Chronic Wasting Disease, or from captive hunt or farm facilities with the following exceptions: Meat that is cut up, packaged and labeled with hunting license information and not mixed with other deer or elk during processing Meat that is boneless Hides or cape with no part of the head attached Clean skull-cap with antlers attached Antlers with no other meat or tissue attached Finished taxidermy heads Upper canine teeth with no tissue attached As of 2010, the following states and Canadian provinces had found CWD in their deer or elk populations: New York, Virginia, West Virginia, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Utah, Illinois, Kansas, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. The purpose of this regulation is to protect Vermont's deer population from diseases that could be harmful, including Chronic Wasting Disease." now get out there and bone out some deer!

misjudging yardage picking your head up off the stock not following through those are the top reasons people miss rabbits or anything for that matter shotgunning, far on beyond what choke was used. when in doubt use a Mod. aim for the head not the whole rabbit or hare.

they cycle like everything naturally does. perfect renewable resource. coyotes are very adaptable as most of you already know, if there are 7 mated pair in a region the food sources are limited so each pair will successfully raise only 2 or 3 pups. when hunters or trappers (trappers make the most dent in them) target them and try to wipe them out the coytes respond biologically to the increased food supply made by the missing coyotes, so now the 7 pair mated is reduced to 3 pair and the remaining pairs will now raise 7 pups or sometimes more each litter. the only dent made in them was by poisoning, both them and everything that came around, and the coyote responded by moving east and north and west to LA. denning coyotes are in new york city's central park and have been for years. Like the crow, it is a resource that literally can not be wiped out by hunting. Vermont has a year round no closed season no limit on coyotes and always has, hunting at night is legal but lights are not. ( makes it tricky) but now with night vision they are back to being hunted hard after dark. scent control and proper set up cross wind is more important than concealment, scent and movement blows more stands than anything. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/GuidesForHire/hunting/fall_coyote-1.jpg

hi folks, we have a young fella here learning to shoot lefty and we are short on left handed bows, he would like to get going with a recurve ideally but any left bow will work, low poundage, 40-45 pounds tops. thanks.

thanks Burmjohn, that photo is from the front of the hunting journal they used to sell. was a great bunch of folks I havent done much online the last 10 years or so been real busy, have a little free time now, thought I'd find them. oh well.

closes the 9th here, I never have much luck in november until the last day then they are everywhere. lol.
