very nice.

well, what do you do with your bow and arrows? the same laws apply........I assume you walk in to your stand well before sunrise and don't get down until legal hours are over.

the last few years I've had better opportunities after opening weekend...and I find it more enjoyable after the majority of hunters are gone, if I had one week of gun hunting to choose from I'd pick late muzzleloader.

yep, these people are the same obnoxious jackasses who can't shut up at the movies, get kicked out of the shooting range for breaking the rules, get out of hand when they go to a bar, become involved in road rage incidents and annoy everyone at the checkout line at the supermarket and the list goes on and on..........and unfortunately some of these types enter the hunting world and bring their primitive social skills along with them........their behavior has nothing to do with the weapon they pick up or what season they hunt.......like you said you can't fix stupid and it's so far embedded in their DNA they're beyond hope.

they were both pumping gas so it was a level playing field as far as that goes.

yeah, the guy who looks at a small buck taken by a new hunter and makes an offhand, jackass comment about it being small is 10x's worse than the guy who pumps gas in his hunting clothes...........that's the guy I hate.

probably pretends he's out jogging and then dips into the woods to do his scouting.....

you can get two consigned dmp's.

I was hoping for opinions on how it increased hunter participation and the effects on the local economy in hunting areas......vacation time has never been a problem for me so it never crossed my mind.

wow....nicely done!

just taking a quick look, it appears the heating elements are in the upper back and chest.......I think you would want the heat in the lower back area to be really effective.

so, it's been a few years since opening day went to Saturday from Monday, how does everyone feel it has worked out? I for one have not seen an increase in hunter participation due to it, but I can say it has put a hurt on the local businesses. Back when we had the Monday opener people would come up the Friday or Saturday before and spend money buying food at local markets, eating out at local restaurants and having a few drinks with friends at the local bars........know it seems everyone shops at home and brings the stuff they normally would have bought near their hunting grounds up with them. Instead of dumping money into the local economy for a day or two it's right to hunting.........

beware the gas pumping hunter, odds are he'll wind up shooting you........and we've all seen the path of death and destruction left behind by the youth hunters during their special early deer season, quite the horror show, right Belo?

I think people are going after you're anti gun hunter comments......the gas station one was just so comical that it was an easy target to pick on.

hey wait a minute, didn't you post a picture of yourself on here with a gun kill? nothing worse than a reformed gun hunter...........have you completed the 12 steps yet?

sometimes I tell my wife I'm going out to get "milk", when in fact I'm sneaking out into the seedy underworld of gun hunting.........I hope she never finds out.

do you honestly think the average non / anti hunter sees someone dressed in hunting clothing, pumping gas, smoking or eating in a smelly diner, and bases their distaste for hunters on that? of course not. Those are reasons that other hunters who think the way they go about hunting is superior to all other ways of doing it.....we need two threads..."why people hate hunters" and "why hunters hate hunters".

I was talking about the people they shoot.....very few get away.

the thought that someone NEEDS to see blaze orange before shooting is pretty scary......

gun hunters shoot more.......and from what I hear they have a much higher recovery rate as well.

damn, my attempt at humor fell flat again.....good thing I didn't quit my day job.

I always thought that an accident would be something like falling and having your gun discharge or maybe having a round travel through a deer and strike an unseen target beyond................taking deliberate aim at something and shooting it as you intended, somehow doesn't seem like an "accident"..........

they were all within 3-5 minutes of each other...........my point is that I can't see anyone having to be overly concerned with a few minute variation either way, I go by my watch and or gps and would be surprised if you would be held accountable if you were acting with the best intentions and not intentionally going over the time by 10-15 minutes.

common sense and knowing what the law is goes a long way........I saw 3 different variations to a sunrise time last week, what my gps said, what I figured on the DEC chart and what they had posted at the check station.

exactly anti-hunters would dislike hunters if they wore Tuxedos while hunting and got dropped off in limo's.............it's other hunters that determine who and what a slob hunter and it's a hatred that is within the hunting community.
