  1. as much as I wear orange as a safety factor, i avoid taking and posting "selfies" even more....I leave that crap to women and children.
  2. I knew it! I did the same thing with the same results once...
  3. I don't think the majority of us wear it to make others feel safer....I'm fairly confident I won't shoot another person whether or not they're wearing it, I wear it to make myself feel safer.
  4. as much as that sucks, at least now NY is getting some sales tax revenue....if we all spent more money at local stores instead of sending our money elsewhere the state would be in better shape, as much as people don't like the sound of that, if you live here spend local......I'm guilty as the next, I spend a fortune every year on internet purchases with no money coming to my home state from them.
  5. I have always worn the orange hat, since my son started going with me it's an orange vest and hat for us.....they may come off once in the stand and placed in a spot that can be seen, but walking in and out it's on......
  6. yes, the .300 Win mag is too much for deer.
  7. how do you apply the wax if you have both hands on the bow drawing it back?
  8. I've been culling out the inferior bucks for years and never even realized it......
  9. think you're correct, or get into muzzleloading.....that was my solution to slim pickings as far as the dmp's go.....and you can get a decent muzzleloader for a lot less than a decent crossbow.
  10. but there are parts of Westchester and L.I. were the guy who only owns an acre with a house, is paying thousands more than a guy who owns 50 acres in many northern areas........50 acres in some parts are paying thousands less than much smaller parcels elsewhere...that's the point I was trying to make.
  11. I've never heard many complaints about the preferential way dmp's are given out to landowners of 50 acres or more and NYS residents.....if they started giving them out based on the simple fact of people being property tax paying residents of NY it would be a disaster, because then what, do they issue them to the highest tax payer first?
  12. by that thinking, anyone who owns a any taxed property, whether it be a coop / condo in the heart of NYC, a postage stamp sized piece of property on Long Island or a 1000 acres in northern NY, should all be on a level playing field....I think a guy who has 50 acres or more should get a slight edge over some of the others......but that's just my thoughts.
  13. you should probably know all of them.......
  14. although they are nice to look at I don't think you want them spreading that trait around, as far as I know they are genetically inferior....I've taken one in the past and have seen a few others that were taken, every one of them had something wrong with some part of them.
  15. unless something changed this year, you will pay either way............
  16. did it look like this?
  17. these days I carry as little as possible...knife, drag rope, pen, gloves the bare essentials.......I did the whole pack thing for a while and found it a burden
  18. and I'll add this, after seeing them shot and dumped by some of the farmers, I didn't feel bad about shooting them by any legal means and putting the meat to good use.
  19. not the ones I've been on, anywhere on the property.....and some weren't even on farms.
  20. not the first time I've seen this, here's another.
  21. a lot of times they don't want hunters out during regular hours because the deer problem exists on working farms, which means workers out in the fields and customers at farm stands and out at the "pick your own " farms during daylight hours........the farmers aren't usually too concerned with offering a quality hunting experience and if you don't do it someone else will...I've been on a few and the landowners wanted nothing to do with guys who didn't produce, they were asked not to come back.
  22. I find it hard to see how anyone can equate the guy who spends time and money improving their land to attract and hold wildlife to the guy who goes to the store and grabs a bag of corn and dumps it in front of their stand......I don't have the luxury of a large enough piece of land to improve, but hold no ill will towards the guy who does, now the guy who dumps bait out to attract deer is another story.
  23. I would hope so, they are archery equipment aren't they?
  24. you'll get more than enough if you buy the Super Sportsman.
