  1. I've always been a first 2 week of the season hunter, this year I won't be able to get out till the second half....for those of you who get to hunt both parts, when do you start to see the drop off in activity and are there different tactics you use for late season or do you pretty much do the same early and late season?

  2. if it's considered a bow the same as a compound or recurve, and everyone who is pro crossbow say's they are, then the bowhunter safety course should be mandatory for anyone wanting to use one........everyone who has any bit of bowhunting experience knows that it's not the same as shooting a deer with a gun and a certain amount of education is needed......and every one who is a concerned hunter should demand it, no matter what side of the argument you were on.

  3. call the local authorities and see if you can dispose of the stands any way you see fit, shouldn't be your job to babysit someone else's property that is there illegally...if you want to be nice, so be it, if not, toss it out and use the property for the purpose you're paying to use it for.

  4. I have a savage 99 lever. It is 45yrs old. It has safe on the lever. The ones on top came out much later and had a clip. I did have safe done over just recently. It didnt have any tension on it. Got it repaired for 80.00. Just needed a new spring. It is like new now.Have two in family and we like them a lot.The only issue I have had with it is that it will freeze up in bitter cold weather. Like 10 degrees or less.

    my brother has an old one, older than 45 years, in 300 Savage........it has the rotary magazine (no "clip") and safety on top.

  5. I have been itching to acquire a lever action and I have a friend that offered me this rifle.  Its an early 1950s model in excellent condition.  I would plan to use it open sight for deer (maybe 100-117g).  Any thoughts, experiences, comments, etc. are appreciated.   I know I can buy a new Marlin 336 in .30-30 cheaper, but I hear there were some real issues with the quality of these guns since remington took over.

    the only complaints I have heard about the 99 is where the safety is.........there are some that have the safety on top of the receiver and some with the safety on the lever, the one on top of the receiver seems to be the better of the two......no doubt a nicer piece of work than a Marlin.

  6. why not get his or her contact information and get in touch with them? if you're going to be hunting the same land with another it might be a good idea to know each others plans ahead of time....and yes I wouldn't think twice about hunting it.

  7. Playing devils advocate. I'm not sure any single elderly female would feel comfortable pulling up to a house in the country where a bunch of guys from the country are shooting guns and ask them to stop.

     

    My parents have a neighbor who shoot all the time, for long periods of time. Multiple guys. We wonder what they must be spending on ammo. We're gun owners and sight in guns on occasion too, but there is little that is more annoying than trying to enjoy a cold one on your deck on a beautiful day with guns going off. Maybe the only thing worse is a chain saw or dirt bikes.

     

    you don't sound like a bad guy, but there are those who are out there that are.

     

    good point, maybe it had nothing to do with the guns at all, but more to do with the noise.........what is reasonable and tolerated by some may not be considered the same by the next person.............in my area, it's perfectly legal to blast music from 8 a.m. till 11 p.m most days, might not be annoying to the person having the party, but I'm sure the guy who wasn't invited may think otherwise.

  8. What's going to happen, or has already happened with regard to the registration of 'assault' rifles is an act of mass civil disobedience.

    We'll find out just what that mass is when the figures are released by the authorities. If they're ever actually released.

    CT estimates they've had as many as 100,000 people disobey. Some guesstimates for NY run around 1,000,000. We're an 'army' of political dissidents and they can't and won't lock us all up. If I personally become the one the state locks up to try and send their message, I'll be ok with it because for me it's a matter of obeying the law or obeying my conscience. I'll accept jail before I'll accept tyranny.

     

    In the meantime I'll work to vote the tyrants out because that is the tool we have at this time.

    from what I've heard the registration numbers are confidential...........we'll probably never know the real #...........and I'm assuming they really don't know who owns what, they are just hoping people will offer up the info.

  9. They sure do.  The 2 that I know make significantly more in their second positions as lawyers.  Of course, they are not supposed to use their influence from state positions to help in the private positions.  I will leave it at that.

    yes, it's a side job for most........other then it being an ego thing, getting voted out of office has little if any monetary affect on a politician..........many of the well known politicians who held higher offices make a killing once they leave office.

  10. Humm...  I wasn't aware geese crap in flight , although some birds do... Never hear of hunters getting crapped on when they shoot at geese over head and never had it happen to me either...

     

    What do you know about how mute swans defecate?  Biologists say, that unlike geese which crap on land, mute swans crap in the water and thereby contribute to the water quality problem. The animal rights crowd says that mute swans crap on land. Who is correct?

    who really gives a crap?

  11. There is only one animal hunters care about and 99% of non hunters would probably say the same. Most any other animal except the whitetail can be hunted and treated with very little respect or care of life. Hunt a deer in one spot and its not fair chase and unethical..Hunt a pig in the same exact spot and it fun and done..Just for meat.  What a joke that is...And that comes from hunters, not tree lovers!

    to be quite honest, I don't have a problem with anyone killing any type of animal behind a fence and having fun doing it, that's what that animal was raised for. I think the biggest problem most hunters have with that is when guys proudly display any animal killed behind an enclosure as some type of accomplishment, and the "meat" thing is a lame excuse for an animal that you can kill for free out in the wild..........and I don't think anyone needs to give another person any type of excuse for doing something legal.

  12. If you are destroying meat its usually only going to be for the yotes that find your bird. The meat on a wild Turk is the breast and if your arrow goes thru the breast your not killing or finding the bird.

    Once you learn the kill zone on a Wild Turkey you will drop them every time with an arrow.

    still a tiny kill area....I'll pass

  13. I'm not a big fan of shooting Turkey with any arrow regardless of it's shot from a compound, recurve or crossbow....in my opinion there's too much of a margin for error, and the one's I have seen killed with a bow pretty much destroyed a lot of the meat..........give me a shotgun every time when it comes to shooting a Turkey.
