  1. I paid $400 a month for med ins. up untill passage of bammer care! TheCompany I work for said they could no longer afford the plan we were on so they went down to a cheaper one that costs me around 360 a month. Only problem is it only covers a 1/4 of what they charge me. I can no longer pay my bills for medical. Before ins paid alot of it so I could keep up now I cant. And the cost is suppose to go up next yr for the same coverage I get now. So all I can say to Bammer is. :fuckyou: :fuck:
  2. I never would have thought an owl would eat a crawfish but here is photo proof!!!!! Reminds me of that never give up poster of the frog choking the crap out of the stork. I wonder if he ever got him down or he spit him out?
  3. From the local paper today. http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20120627/SPORTS/206270355/Outdoors-Federal-wildlife-funds-caught-political-swamp?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Sports After a whirlwind of political pushing, prodding and backdoor moves last week in the waning days of the legislative session, it appears that the crossbows-for-big-game hunting situation is essentially back where it started. A.10583A/S.7705A passed both houses in the final hours of the session, effectively extending the current regulations through 2014. The current regulations were set to expire in December. If I'm reading the amended bills correctly, the new bills (if signed by the governor) will allow for the continued use of crossbows for big game during firearms and late muzzleloading season for at least two more years. The value in having the current crossbow language extended and not having it expire is that when a law expires there is no current standing to work from and writers have to begin from scratch. The plan, I'm told, is to bring the issue back in the 2013 legislative session and not wait until 2014.
  4. I would suggest the crank from now on
  5. And it continues http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20120627/SPORTS/206270355/Outdoors-Federal-wildlife-funds-caught-political-swamp?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Sports The suspicion out of Albany is that the confusing mess regarding the state's qualification for federal fish & wildlife funds this year is the result of election-year politics. In case you hadn't heard, early this year the Department of Finance was empowered to raid all funds -- including dedicated funds like the Conservation Fund -- to solve problems elsewhere. But the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will not send the annual federal funding to New York's Conservation Fund for fish and wildlife management if the dedicated fund is not protected against such raids. Early in the spring, legislation to correct the problem passed the Senate but never got out of committee in the Assembly. In the final hours of the 2012 legislative session last week it looked like something had to be done or we'd lose out on $10-$20 million in wildlife funds for this year. Although legislators have since assured me that the funding situation is safe, it was shocking that nothing was ever done in respect to passing the appropriate bills. The governor was openly pushing to get the situation fixed, so it looks like everything was blocked in the legislature. The Senate has passed every anti-diversion bill that it had, while one of those bills did not have an Assembly companion, and Assembly EnCon Committee Chair Robert Sweeney sat on the other one. The suspicion is that legislators were trying to extract a promise that they will be able to bring home more member items/community grants later this year as insurance for incumbents' re-election campaigns.
  6. Funny thing tho, There are no agricultural areas around where I hunt and very few people who put out even small plots let alone anything over an acre. And yet there are still people who shoot deer in the 140's and 150's around where I hunt, off from natural brows from hardwoods and overgrown fields. So yeah food is important but age is even more important. If a buck doesnt make it over 4 yrs of age it really doesnt matter what you plant a 2yr old will not break 130 unless its a freak of nature.
  7. And that was just the calf!! Wherever she crossed her legs she had burns too!! And I beleive it took 5 months to turn to a purple scar.And she still cant get it in the sun.
  8. Well the roundup did its job barely a scratch of green left on the plots. Now comes the work. If or when we get some rain. plots are bone dry and hard as a rock.
  9. Nasty plant, look at the burn this lady got.
  10. Good info thanks for clearing it up. Little shananigans going on it looks like on the owner/hunters part.
  11. The scary thing is that it was probably intentionally done to make guns look bad and help bammer start his anti gun campaign. Luckily it backfired and Holder screwed it all up and got some law enforcement officers and a couple thousand mexicans killed with American government help,and they have been trying to sweep it under the rug ever since. And I think Bammer is going to end up throwing Holder under the bus too. Still grinning!!!
  12. Smart move Doc. I spent a bunch of money on putting a food plot once on my Grandfathers land. Unfortunately it was the same yr he decided to let the whole neighborhood hunt his 60 acres. It was a slaughter, I lost out big on the money and the herd hasnt been the same since. Havent hunted it since either.
  13. Sorry, I ment flood a country with illegal guns. The political back scratching is expected. But if scooter got prison for plain then Holder should get exacuted for this.
  14. Holly crap if a sitting Republican president did this there would be riots in the street from the looney left. Though I find it quite funny and in some sick way a little satisfying that a sitting liberal anti gun prez flooded another country with illegal guns. Every time it comes up in the news I get a grin on my face. And Im sure those two sit around and get eachother off all the time so its nothing new for them with the repeal of dont ask dont tell and all.
  15. $425,000 is silly! Yeah the little sh---s should have had the crap choked out of them, but she just got made fun of not raped for crying out loud.
  16. $10 bucks says the first thing to go will be the 6 packs of broadheads. Wasp did it when the owner died now I bet muzzy will to. That happens im switching to NAP thunderheads in 85 grain.
  17. Might as well get a climber if your carrying in and out and then you wont even have to worry about the steps. If you dont have far to walk, that would be your best option. There are several models that weigh 20 lbs or less and are easy to use. Also the local yahoos wont know where you are hunting and you might be able to suprise one of them.
  18. NICE!!! I love it!!! There is nothing that cant be solved with an adequate application of violence!!!! I had a kid that would always mess with me while I was fishing as a kid at the local pond. He would come over and throw my stuff around and make fun of me till I got pissed one day and dropped kicked him into the pond and then tossed his friend in right behind him when he came to his aid. They ran home crying like little bi---hes and never messed with me again.
  19. http://www.pressconn...ews|text|Sports The New York Legislature's 2012 session is scheduled to close Thursday, and as of Wednesday the state was still not in compliance with federal guidelines required for the distribution of funds to state fish and wildlife programs. We're talking nearly half of the wildlife budget of the state, in excess of $20 million, because of a budget clause that allows the state to raid any special or dedicated fund for its own purposes. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will not send the funds to any state that doesn't protect its dedicated conservation funds from such moves. This spring it appeared that this was all ironed out. The new budget bill passed in April contained language that USFWS agreed would put us in compliance and thus eligible for the federal funds. But a new Section, 13-a, was later added that allows the governor's Director of Budget and the Comptroller to remove funds from any special fund, including the Conservation Fund. That put us back in jeopardy. S.7342, which would fix this problem and again put us in compliance with the federal demands, was unanimously passed in the Senate on June 12, 59-0. But the companion bill, A.10469, was stuck in the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee and chairman Robert Sweeney has sat on it for a week. It would seem that this would be passed without comment, and probably will be. But strange things are happening in Albany these
  20. tops make good cover for deer and you. Crawled back in a top one time and took a little cat nap. Woke up to 5 doe less than 10 yrds from me milling around. Heard a grunt to my left and along comes a nice 8 point who took a dirt nap.
