Lol I would take that bet. You were trolling on him hardcore. Exclamation marks and capital lettering. You seemed pretty upset.

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.

[a nice one]

And so is yours. $10 says the DEC doesn't come after him.

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.

[Hard time picking a bow]

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.

[Hard time picking a bow]

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.

[Whisker biscuit or arrow rest]

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.

[Anyone have wind turbines on their property?]

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

[Anyone have wind turbines on their property?]

Lessee is responsible and a bond is set up with the town for decommissioning purposes.

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.

[a nice one]

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........

[doe tag]

I don't believe the Bow / ML antlerless tag can be used during Regular Gun season if using a gun .

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..

[Anyone have wind turbines on their property?]

4 thousand per megawatt. Turbines that are proposed are 2.5 megawatts. Minimum payment is 10,000 or a max of 4% production royalty per year. 2 thousand a year for the lease and 1500 per installed turbine. Lease is for 25 years.

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

[doe tag]

If he gets a doe tag with archery license can he use it with shotgun?

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

[doe tag]

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.

[Anyone have wind turbines on their property?]

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

[doe tag]

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

[Shotgun Poll]

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.

[opinions needed for new bow]

Honestly I would never buy new. You can pick up a used elite hunter, Hoyt, Mathews all far superior to a pse brute on the classified section of archerytalk

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.

[Robo deer....]

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.

[Shot a Turkey, now what?]

legs ,back and wings have a lot of meat on them especially on a big bird. oven cooking bag with cream of mushroom soup low temp, falls off the bone and is the best turkey you ever had. terrible waste to toss them because your to lazy or don't know how to prepare them properly.

exactly........

[Shot a Turkey, now what?]

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

Just for anyone who is interested.... anyhow back to topic...

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

[Is this worth doing ?]

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.

[Is this worth doing ?]

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.

[If We Did This Already.........................]

Anything but anchovies.

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