  1. Thank you for teaching the next generation. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  2. Bass pro GC's from a CC company as rewards? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  3. Do you know the actual speed of you old bow vs new? If you are using the same arrows, and the new bow is shooting faster, the arrows may be flexing more on the new bow than the older one. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  4. Glasses fog up because they are cold, and your breath is warm. If the glasses are also warm, they won't fog. Simple law of physics. Now to the solution, shaving cream. You may want an un-scented version for the woods. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  5. Nice find. Great for LI and NYC folks. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  6. Damore, I'm not familiar with the newer bows and paper tuning, but with my older bow, it did take me several trips to Pro-Lines to do. This was with me doing it myself and taking the time to make micro adjustments. I also purposely shot with a tight grip after the tune and noticed huge tares in the paper, so something to think about. No matter the shop, I don't expect the level of attention they can give vs doing it yourself. I was happy enough that Guy at Pro-Lines was nice enough to let me use the range to tune. You may have spoke with Neil or Joe. The importance of paper tuning is to harness the maximum KE from the bow string and to help ensure a similar flight path between field tips and fixed broad heads. Some swear by it, some will just sight in for their broad heads. It's all about what you want out of your bow. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  7. I don't think #2 is correct. A bow license is not required during regular season, only a bow certificate if you are hunting big game. No certificate if hunting small game. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  8. I would think the rabbit call would be suffice. But more importantly, when confronted by an ECO, they'll know just by hearing the tone of your voice. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  9. Is it really that dangerous? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  10. Not sure who you are referring to, but grey is a good guy. If given the chance, I'd pick his brains all day long about fishing and hunting LI, he's a treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to calls too! A true gentleman. Grey also got into a couple of air guns this year, one being the Crosman 1377, a multi pump pistol. It's a classic, and proven lots of fun. Tons of mods out there for it, its the Honda Civic of air guns. If you wanted a serious setup, I'd recommend the Benjamin Marauder in .25 cal. You can take any small game animal in North America with it. Accuracy out to 100 yards of sub MOA isn't impossible as long as you do your part. Something to plink with and some pesting, I'd recommend a sub-$200 package break-barrel magnum springer. One with a Nitro-Piston is sweet for hunting, but any old springer would also do. Crosman Nitro Venom comes to mind. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  11. What WMU is this property in? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  12. You might be better off in LI, Stewart is a zoo when it comes to deer hunting, and Sterling isn't much better. Good luck this season. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  13. Bob, this isn't a case of "guilty until proven innocent", more so that its "avoid a ticket to appear in court" scenario. I am too familiar with over zealous LEO handing out tickets just because they can, and waste tax payers money in court. To answer your question, a serious yote hunter would have calls, lights, decoy, etc. But what's more important is, what he won't have, like rattlers, doe bleats, grunt tubes, doe estrous scents, etc. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  14. Welcome back. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  15. Which bow is this? If my 7 YO nephew has an interest in shooting bows, I'd like something like this for him. If not, I can set it up for the wife. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  16. The correct answer is at least 35, meaning 35.5 is fine. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  17. Coyote season runs well after deer season has ended, so his question is valid. I he wants to hit coyotes with a bow, an not get caught up with the authorities, he'll have to prove to the responding officer that he was indeed hunting yotes and not deer. Many would advise you to purchase the bow license and be done with it, unless you plan on night hunting with a bow and broad heads for yotes, then that again puts you in the gray area. Again, there hasn't been an ECO I met that isn't polite and knowledgable when it comes to differentiating an honest hunter and one that's trying to break the law.

  18. Your local ECO would know best, as a lot of your questions is grey and would fall under the discretion of the officer on scene. 1, you are target shooting and not hunting, none of the DEC laws apply here aside from discharge of bow and firearm. 500' rule. 2, you may use a combination of any hunting implement during regular season. 3, same as 2 Regarding bow license vs bow certificate during regular season for big game, yes only cert is required. Regarding small game with a bow, you May take small game at anytime when it is open season for them with a bow, without the need for a bow license nor a bow cert. this is for small game ONLY. Don't bring big game broad heads and carry with you small game specific hunting items and you should be fine. An experienced ECO can tell the honest hunters from the poachers right away.

  22. Definitely didn't get a PM from you, and never have had a known problem with the PM system here. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  23. You are obviously new here, if it weren't, you'd know that I'm not part of any lynch mob you speak of. Far from agreeing with some of these folks, but this one is pretty clear to even the blind. Still waiting for your so-called story though. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

  24. You might want to read the NYS DEC Hunters Guide. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  25. Not knowing that baiting is illegal in NY makes you an uneducated sportsman. Knowing that its illegal and refusing to admit that you were wrong, and going on the offensive like you did makes you a terrible sportsman. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
