  1. not to jump on any one side, and I may be totally wrong, but I believe that many of these diseases have been around forever, the only thing new is that they now test for them..........now everything has to die from a specific cause...believe it or not, some diseases are naturally occurring and will claim lives...both in animals and humans.

  2. and if there is any question about the reduced recoil ammo, my son took a buck during the youth season at 100+ yards with it a few years ago using my rifle, and I used it as well being that's what I last sighted in it with and took 2 deer at about 100 yards with very good results...........and when all said and done, there is little change in point of impact between that and full load ammo at 100 yards.

  3. Have you owned these in the past? Good luck with them?

     

    I generally go with Lacrosses for archery/early gun boots and then a heaver store brand insulated version for late season since the heavier Lacrosses have a bad fit for me. Problem is I generally only get a year or two out of the heavier ones since they tend to be cheap. I know Dick's offers higher thinsulate ones.

    I bought them a few years ago and they were very heavy from what I remember, like walking around with weights on my feet.........not sure how they last because I returned them after one outing.

  4. Unless she was laying down, a near vertical tree top shot with a 22 wouldn't hit her in the chest. Even then, it would probably not result in more than a slight bruise at worst. Rifle shot trajectories are parabolas. At a steep angle, the blunt shape of a 22lr slug will soon fall vertically & would have no more energy that if it was dropped from a tall building.

     

    More likely it was someone shooting at a squirrel on a low branch, on the side of a tree trunk or even the ground resulting in a richochet. Maximum range with a 22lr is achieved at about 35° muzzle angle. Maximum travel distance is achieved with shallow angle shots skipping along the ground.

    does that apply to New York or back when you lived in Indiana?.........

  5. I've never done it, but was told that if having difficulty with the amount of adjustment, crank the elevation and windage as far one way as possible, then count number of clicks going back the other way till you max out, than go back half the amount (make sense?).........I don't know if "tweaking" the tightness on the rings to adjust a scope is a good idea, I use a torque screwdriver so that all screws are equally adjusted....

  6.  

    Since President Barack Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued 3,120 new final regulations, equaling 27,854 pages in the Federal Register, totaling approximately 27,854,000 words.

    New EPA Regs Issued Under Obama Are 43 Times as Long as Bible

     

    and probably just as questionable...............

  7. Without a doubt there is always some on there.. Typically going for 150-200.. If I can get a bead or rifle sights on the old barrell for less than thats what I'll do... If smithing exceeds the cost of a barrel on eBay .

    I may have an extra barrel for a 500 laying around from a gun I no longer have, if I do, I'll pm you the details and a price if you're interested.

  8. UPDATE:

     

    Today was a success............I stopped and got two gift certificates for my father and his wife, both restaurants.  One is a fancy breakfast place, Breakin' Eggs and the other is Rizotto on Maple Rd.  Both places are winners.

     

    last night I was laying in bed and it hit me.........back in October we were at Tractor Supply getting dog food and my wife was snooping around the clothing area.  The place is FAR from her favorite places to shop was there just killing time with me.  Well she spotted a pair of those weird tight stretchy jeans from Levis (IIRC).  They were $50 and she said "naa, too much money"  At the time I took a picture of the tag and thought I'd Google it and see if I could score them cheaper somewhere else.  I never did find them cheaper but damn the luck....they were 15% off today, WOOT!!  Because I took a picture I knew the exact size.   Smart? No, VERY smart. :)

     

    Also yesterday I thought of something else she has been nagging me for; an extra thing to hang clothes behind our bedroom door.  I checked Kohl's, Pier 1 and finally Target before I scored what I wanted.

     

    Under the "Lame" category you can add the FREE $35 Gift Certificate for Banchetti's Sunday Brunch that came with the $100 to Rizotto's.  (free is good)

     

    So here's what I have now:

     

    -Work shoes

    -Delta Sonic 3 car wash package & dinner at Applebee's

    -Pants

    -Clothes hanger/rack

    -$35 GC to Banchetti's Sunday Brunch

     

    Tomorrow I'll grab some perfume and a card.......maybe something else too????

     

    I really liked the idea of a musical or play not nothing really caught my eye and a couple that did were sold out.  I thought about a movie deal but ahhh, boring.

    sounds like you earned yourself a manicure, pedicure and a facial after all that work!.........

  9. Have someone shoot you with it and then you'll know what you are doing to someones pet.

     

    But before you do that why not check with the DEC and see if that is legal to do.  I'd bet it isn't..............................

    I have a neighbor near our house that was issued a permit and some rubber buckshot by DEC to deal with nuisance bear, so you're probably right...I'b be surprised if you could just shoot nuisance animals with it as you see fit.

  10. even though the taking of a doe is not part of the lease deal, and the landowner is not obsessed with herd reduction, the fact that he even mentioned he would like one for meat should have been hint enough that your Dad should have absolutely killed one.........do you not agree?
