  1. Since they are definitely a factor affecting deer populations, I have no issue with shooting them. I can respect them, just like I respect sharks, but that does not mean I want them around me. They have a place in the system, but they too can become overpopulated and cause problems. And since they do not seem to have any problem surviving, I think I should be part of their struggle to survive.
  2. I don't mind yotes around, if there are few of them. I want more deer around, and when there are lots of yotes there are few deer around. So I think the idea is to keep the yote numbers way down and work on increasing the deer numbers, at least around here. There certainly aren't enough deer around my area. Not even close to being a problem. So I will always look to eliminate any reason deer numbers are down.
  3. Can you supply a link with that info? Last I heard they were prosecuting because wolves are Federally protect all over the country.
  4. If you have wolves, you have a problem. It's illegal to shoot a wolf in NY. I think they are federally protected everywhere. They are prosecuting the guy in NY that shot one thinking it was a yote. If you shoot one, you better keep it quiet.
  5. I'm of the same old school trad bow style with my fingers and a no nock on the string so I don't even need a glove. But I modified my release hold for the Onieda lever bow I shoot. My palm faces down towards the ground, unlike the palm in towards my cheek style I use to shoot trad bows. I find that palm down release hold gives me more strength with a mechanical release. The upside down hold seems to sap the strength in my hand when I use a release.
  6. I shoot right-handed and hold my release with my thumb to the left against my right-side jawbone. I press the trigger with my right index finger. I see some archers that hold their hand upside down with their thumb on the bottom and the back of their hand against their cheek. I cannot shoot a bow like that and wonder why some archers do. Is there some advantage to it?
  7. Lots of things kill fawns. I'm into limiting all of the things that kill fawns.
  8. I'm still using 4 blade Satellite broadheads. I just like them and have never been disappointed by their performance.
  9. Haven't heard anything about this as of yet. Seems to me they are moving towards full inclusion for all eventually, but like everything the government does, they do it incrementally, so it becomes less intolerable to the opposition over time.
  10. Proud venison hunter poses in front of his Adirondacks make-shift cabin with whitetail doe, rifle and grouse on his belt Circa late 1940's.
  11. How does a crack addict set up 17 different shell companies without daddy's & family help?
  12. Target sports does not sell reloading powder. They have primers though.
  13. I would bet that double barrel shotgun was the only gun many of those old-time hunters had.
