so someone else sees it too. Give the kids a chance

I hunt with whom I choose and I like that.

well you seemed to chime in everyone was kicking mine a while ago I just wanted to be sure

I can not speak for all situations, but in mine it was due to one guy bowing down to his wife who would not let him hunt and the almighty beer can. For 3 or 4 years, we kept asking and he kept saying yes then not show up, so after a while we quit asking. Well he then went to family members of his who also hunted complaining we never asked him we went without him things like that. Well from there it ballooned into him making accusations of jacking deer mostly against myself and another party member. We mostly hunted state land in our area, but one member owns 64 acres or so in my area, and he lives in the Rochester area. Well it was his brother who was stirring all the trouble. I was asked not to hunt the private land, due to accusations I was hunting nights and parking my truck under his stand as well as bringing uninvited people there to hunt. The last deer I shot there, he was in a stand in the meadow and I was down in the woods. When I came out I asked if he would help me to get it in my truck. He said you shot the fing thing you take care of it, and walked away. Unlike most of the people who showed up there, I always shared my meat and had a summer cookout and invited them all. That ended it for me. However the next year even after I stopped hunting with them, he was telling his neighbors he caught me spotlighting and jacking deer on the property. Funny thing was he told them he caught me in my old truck, I had sold off 6 months earlier. He lives in the same town I do, but I have not spoken to him in three years. I just do not get what he thought he accomplished. I guess it takes all kinds. I bought my piece of land and have not looked back. If anyone of them wanted to come and spend a weekend hunting at my camp, they are welcome.

I was with the same hunting party for over 25 years. After a few run ins and one of the crew playing one side against the other, I broke off and bought land of my own. As much as I miss the old crew, I enjoy the fact, I am no longer worrying about who is gonna say or do what and who will get blamed for crap.

man he has a way of making himself look so important and always innocent.

who's ass do you want kicked

and there are so many more choices which will do a better more ethical job with the 7-08. As far as loads, I always used 100gr remington core lokts and varget 38.7 grains cci rifle primers and winchester brass. It was a very accurate load out of my H&R handi rifle. I shot more coyotes and chucks with it than anything.

I cancelled HBO after the sopranos ended. I miss that show.

liking the later opening in northen zone for another week of archery with out all us smokepolers in the woods as well as allow for youth weekend.

only by those who can actually hit it lol. I doubt I could without a lot of practice lol

sweet I wanna try it

Actually Edsel I take kids hunting all the time, so if that was directed at me, you are barking up the wrong tree. I also volunteer my time to educate children so they become eligible to receive a hunting license. And you do?????

the difference is bullet selection. You can get a much heavier harder hitting bullet in a 7-08. Bullet selection is limited in 243.

watch out wny he will pm you and call you names. It is sad when people are not willing to give a couple days for the future of hunting. I guess I just dont get it.

The biggest problem I hear of with using a 243 or other smaller caliber diameter bullets is lack of a blood trail due to small entrance and exit wounds. That being said, I have a couple friends who one pretty much exclusively. They have hhad great success with sierra 100 grain game kings and either varget or imr 4895

i like that. gonna steal it

planned to go to st regis and give it a try. However it is pouring here, so I guess I will wait and see. I hate to drive an hour to get drenched

sure is

you could not be more wrong there ford. greed is wanting it all to yourself and not sharing. read the posts that is what you and many portray in your posts. The other definition is not wanting anything to change.

pc is not the issue. Greed is. If you want the woods all to yourself, buy land and keep it all to yourself. Then you can control it any way you want. If any of you who keep complaining about this season, were at that age where you could hunt during this youth hunt, you would be all for it. I would think if you had kids at that age, you would be all for it also. However from what I read greed and selfishness take over. Let them hunt. If it ruins your precious hunt, it would be ruined anyway.

what flavor is the koolaid today?

yup because with this tax at least you have a chance no matter how slim of getting it back.

someone in Maryland won it all

that is true. the only thing crossbow is legal for so far is deer and bear and only certain times then. I believe regular season and late ml season
