I can just picture the puzzled look on the DEC Officer's face when he gets the call that someone shuffled some apple's around under the tree that they fell from.

I wouldn't be the least bit concerned about moving apples around under a tree that they fell from........and I doubt DEC is either.

and even if it cost's a little more and it's your first bow, buy from a pro-shop, any shop who cares about their customers should bend over backwards setting you up and pointing you in the right direction......the shop I use gives a year of free range usage with a new bow purchase, worth about $200.00.

you'll drive yourself crazy if you start looking at too many bows.........most pro shops are dealers for certain brands and will push whatever they sell........settle on a price range and stick to looking at bows that fall into what you're willing to spend........find a company with good customer service and go with them. A lot of the reliable company's have bows to fit everyone's need and budget.

I used a WB for years without a problem, no doubt they do take a few fps out of your arrow........but as far as accuracy goes, I never noticed much of a difference after changing to a drop away.

does it supply your power, giving you free electric for 25 years, or does it only feed power back into the main grid?

probably worth a few bucks in scrap metal.........by the time 25yrs is up that thing paid for itself a few times over, no wonder the company who installs them doesn't want them.

I think the 3 second rule comes into play with something like this, if it's picked up and held by a human hand for more than 3 seconds before it's put back down it becomes bait........

the junior hunting license gives him a regular season tag, same as an adult's only a lot cheaper...........purchasing the archery will give him the ability to apply for the dmp at age 12. Once he turns 14, that junior license can be used during regular season to hunt with a gun..

that would sure go a long way paying for a mortgage and taxes..........

pretty sure he can, doe tags aren't season specific......unless you're in a bow only zone.

Archery is age 12............you an apply for a doe tag when you buy an archery license...........and there is no fee for the dmp for junior hunters/bowhunters.

how much $$ does a landowner make off leasing his land for something like this?

if he can get an archery tag, yes he can apply.....if not, I don't think so

quality o/u's cost a lot more than $400.00........I have a Mossberg o/u and it's pretty low quality when compared to the others. I'd go for a pump or auto, they are better suited for the type of hunting you're looking to do.

I agree.....a bow that cost $1000.00 brand new will cost a fraction of that used, I don't think they hold their value very well....... a lot of guys have money to upgrade every year, you can find a pretty good deal if you look around.

I know someone who got caught doing this......actually shot it twice. Charged with discharging a firearm from a public road and for having a loaded firearm on or in a motor vehicle, resting on the vehicle to shoot got him the second charge.

exactly........

you'll get answers all over the place...........some just skin them, some just breast them out and toss the rest, I always pluck them, gut them and roast em, the breast is pretty much the only really good part after roasting (if ur expecting anything like a domestic bird), but I like to get the most out of what I shoot.... I take the legs and carcass and make soup

turkey scratchings

that is interesting and a great piece of family history as well........

I've been shooting with a cantilever scope mount for years without a problem........I think the potential problem all comes from the barrel not being fixed to the receiver, no matter where you mount the scope, there's always the chance for something to move.....I'd keep it as is.

I would say leave it alone, even with the scope mounted to the receiver, each time you remove the barrel it could still affect the zero. I assume you don't clean it until the season is over and recheck the zero before the start of each season anyway.

I was waiting for the anchovy comment.........I couldn't agree more.
