    just be careful what you get, I bought a cheap scope a few years back and it did not hold up to the recoil of the shotgun.....I was told afterwards that a shotgun produces more recoil than your average deer rifle and that's what did it in......not sure if that's totally true, but something to consider.

    I would just freeze it in larger chunks and grind it as you use it.........I've started freezing all my venison in larger chunks and cut it up when I defrost it to cook........I think the larger chunks keep better in the freezer.

    the fold back option is great allows you to tuck it under your sleeve and keep it out of the way while climbing your stand.

    I would suggest a beagle if your seriously considering a rabbit dog.

    you pointed out a very important way of introducing a dog to gunfire...........never start with the real sound of gunfire and always make sure the pup is preoccupied when introducing him to the sounds. If you have a muzzleloader, you can use that with just a primer if you don't have a starter pistol.

    so they were used one time?

    never had to worry about hanging to death by a safety harness back then.........it would have been a straight trip to the ground below.

    and if I'm not mistaken, some allow deer hunting......

    no climbing blocks here, but have used numerous dangerous methods of getting into treestands in the early years.........safety was of little concern back then.

    see if you can find info on hunting the tidal wetlands, I used to hunt a piece that was in Timber point on the Connetquot River next to the golf course............not sure what type of access is there these days, but we used to park and walk in................from what I remember we used to get an access pass from DEC.......not near Cold Spring Harbor, but the best I can offer...........and there's a few more along the South Shore.

    I bought the book way back when and found it pretty helpful for someone who had no experience training a dog, it was a good starting point.......I'm sure you could go broke from buying books and DVD's from all the "experts" out there.

    "Wing and Shot" is a good training book, been around for a long time.........simple obedience is a good place to start, because the best hunting dog in the world is useless if it doesn't listen.

    bear meat

    I just wish I had read that Mayo Clinic report before I ate that Walrus.........

    if you don't have the time before work to follow up on and care for a deer you may have shot, then you're probably making the right choice........unless you have the option of calling in and getting the day off.

    bear meat

    jjb4900 replied to pointman's topic in Bear Hunting

    I would think the quicker you can get it dressed out and skinned the better, with the thickness of the hair and the amount of fat on a bear, they will hold body temperature for quite awhile......and I would suggest not letting a bear hang to "cure", the fat on them is unlike beef or venison and has a greasy quality to it, kinda like a giant raccoon.

    If you're looking to get a taste of bird hunting, try Spring Farm in Sag Harbor.........they provide a guide and dog and I think it's 25 birds per hunt.....not cheap, but split 4 ways it's not too bad......a lot cheaper than joining a club that you may not be able to effectively hunt without a dog.

    the same Badger1 as on the NAHC website?
  19. jjb4900
    I think it was a combination of the dog, the spotlight and the fact that you were actually able to use the firearm to shoot the deer after sunset that required the notification to the Local DEC, Police..etc..................I'm a former member as well.

    and at that point we should take our ball and go home......enough wasting American money and lives on these animals.
  21. jjb4900
    somebody has to look out for us......
  22. jjb4900
    and as Doc pointed out earlier, some of the laws that had been passed had "grandfather clauses" in them protecting the people who already owned certain weapons and magazines.........which more than likely created an "I've got mine" attitude among owners, so many saw no need to protest.

    I agree, can't beat wool........I like to put a light base layer on (any brand will do) and top that off with 100% wool, that really does the trick.........couple sets of cheap base layer stuff to change out of, and the one set wool is good for several days.
  24. jjb4900
    good advice.....
  25. jjb4900
    the point I was trying to make, was that they have been chipping away or attempting to chip away at gun ownership for years, when did they enact the last magazine capacity law, was it 1994? don't remember any uproar over that.......why is it that people are just now waking up, because they took too much all at once?
