I guess you're one of the people referred to in the original post....sorry to hear that.

I find it hard to believe that loss of hunting license sales revenue is behind the attack on farm raised deer and penned hunts...if the amount of people purchasing and hunting farm raised deer is as high as stated, the amount of sales tax associated with it would probably balance it out.....a couple thousand dollars is peanuts in this State when it comes down to it.

I did that once with a roadkill I was given........didn't turn out half bad and actually came out nice and white after I bleached it with the stuff you can get at a beauty supply place.

are you aware your regular season tag is good for either sex during that season?

I have a woodstove in my basement, when it gets going and I keep it going, it gets the basement up to around 80 degrees and that in turn warms the enitre 1st floor up very nicely......I actually had to add a second heating zone because the second floor never got warm due to the thermostat being on the first floor. Another bonus is that my hot water heater, furnace and heat pipes are all in the basement, I figure keeping all that stuff at a higher temp has got to save a few bucks a year as well. I normally get all my wood free and split it myself, about 3-4 cords a year, if I was to buy it would run between $175-$225 a cord depending on the wood being seasoned and what time of year you buy.

all a man needs to worry about is being the best he could have been with what he was given...if he did all he said he did with what he had to work with, then he did his job....no need to blame anyone or apologize for anything.

just need to make sure you have the DEP access permit

I have zero problem with a person hating another in life or death, but to blame another person, like a politician, for preventing you from being a better husband, father or grandfather is disgusting....that responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of one person.

in all seriousness, if recoil is a concern, hold off until you can get some managed recoil ammo....many times it's not so much the ammo but the gun that dictates the felt recoil, I made the mistake of buying my son a Ruger Hawkeye Ultralight in .308 and the recoil is brutal so we've stuck with the managed recoil stuff.........my brother has an Interarms .270 that makes my 30-06 feel like a .243........Getting a scope to the eye the first time you shoot a big bore rifle is not good.

good choice, I would still consider starting off with managed recoil ammo from Remington...........if not for hunting at least for the range.

I'll bet they can legally charge more for transactions that require shipment to a 3rd party...........my main point was that guys are more than willing to advertise places that will more than gladly do the transactions for "additional fee's"., not too sure that's something to share on the internet in the case that they are doing something wrong.

it must mean you're on a sinking ship and the ex wife is the cause...........

I'll assume it's already sighted in to the point that it's on paper.......get yourself one box each of whatever brand slugs you are considering and shoot only for groups at this point, after you choose the brand get some more and dial it in. I made the mistake of buying too many of a brand that shot like crap.

what are you gonna feed it? I've had the best results with Hornady SST's when it came to longer range shooting.

exactly, I didn't want to say it but glad someone did.......the next time I disappoint my wife or kids, I'll have to remember to blame the Governor, hopefully they'll buy it.

tacky as hell.....

in terms of looking "natural", aren't bones pretty much pure white or very close to it when you first skin out and butcher an animal? that greasy yellow look is unappealing in my opinion.

I agree, and who knows, he may very well have been a better husband, father and grandfather then many of those who hate him for what he did in politics...........

my understanding is it's $10.00 for the entire transaction.........if they could legally charge what they wanted for the paperwork most would be more than happy to make $50.00 or so of pure profit from private sales, that's probably more than they make selling a brand new gun. General Business Law Article 39-DDD GBL Article 39- DDD requires that all private sales of firearms, rifles or shotguns be conducted through a licensed importer, manufacturer or dealer. Before any private sales may be made, a NICS check must be conducted by a dealer on the purchaser. While a dealer is not required to facilitate a private sale, if a dealer chooses to do so, he or she must create and maintain records relating to private sales to prove that the background checks were conducted. These records may be inspected by a police officer and are not subject to public disclosure under the FOIL provisions. The Safe Act provides that a dealer may charge up to $10 for facilitating these private transaction

my reasoning behind getting a .308 or 30-06 was based on the fact that the owner may want to eventually hunt larger game with the rifle at some point........not everyone has the means or desire to own 6 different rifles in different calibers.

yeah, sad to see there's a few bottom feeders out there more than happy to take advantage of people.....I have more respect for the guy who refuses to do it than the guy who tries to squeeze money out of customers, I'd drive an hour to go to the guy who only charges what he's allowed to just to avoid the other guy.

I thought the State set the maximum fee a dealer could charge for the background check and transfer at $10.00?

kids can have huge growth spurts, my son would have outgrown a youth rifle in two seasons.........when I got him a shotgun, I bought a full sized 870 and picked up a youth stock to put on it and avoided having to buy another shotgun two years later......and now that I think about it, did youth sized guns even exist 20-30 years ago? most of us turned out ok without them.
