  1. Thankfully it turned out as well as it did..........look at what happened in Nassau County a month or so ago, an absolute nightmare...........
  2. ok, I think if you look at the majority of shooting related hunting injuries / deaths, there are very few related to long range shootings caused by the range of the weapon........the majority are probably close range incidents caused by the failure to properly identify a target, and I'll even venture to guess that most are between hunters in the same party.
  3. where these areas always shotgun only or at some point did they allow rifles and then someone decided rifles were unsafe in those areas and fight to have rifles eliminated...........I'm assuming that's why rifles are not allowed.
  4. just curious, but do any of these rifle bills get met with much resistance by people who don't want them?
  5. nice pictures, They seem to be attracted to that pine tree.
  6. They're more then welcome to scout..........during archery season, I also hunt turkey, grouse, squirrel and anything else that may be open and I think it hardly has an impact on anyone's deer season............I also intend to partake in the youth season with my son.
  7. I was under the impression that most crossbow advocates were already accomplished bowhunters who just wanted another weapon to hunt deer with, not just an easier weapon.........looks like you proved that theory wrong.
  8. I think you're missing the point of the original post.........or maybe it's just me.
  9. and why would you want the advice of an ex-cop? laws change all the time.
  10. wake me up when the nightmare's over...........
  11. yes, the trailer needs to be registered........unless it's under a certain size and the towing vehicles lights are visible, I would suggest to plead not guilty and register it asap, the judge may take that into consideration and reduce the fine and maybe even throw it out
  12. was the trailer or the atv unregistered?
  13. I think there are very few scopes these days from any fairly well known manufacture that can be classified as "crap"..........it all depends on what you're satisfied with, at the very least, any scope manufactured that is owned by a big name company should have a decent warranty..........that being said, I just upgraded from a Burris to a Zeiss, like night and day when held side by side.
  14. I don't think my truck has been washed in over 5 years.........that's what rain's for.
  15. and to touch on your other point of assembly districts south of the Tappan Zee, the crossbow bill presented last year was backed by an Assemblyman from L.I.....
  16. I paid $5.00 for shipping 4 boxes of .308 from Cabelas.
  17. But, I have to admit there is a part of me that feels like everyone should be allowed to use their weapon of choice at some point to hunt deer. I was a backer of the youth hunt so I feel like a bit of a hypocrite to turn around and say that crossbows should not be allowed anywhere prior to regular deer season........maybe a week just prior to rifle? but then that opens up the old debate about Archers losing the prime week of the season....to allow them just during regular season or late muzzlelader / bow is almost pointless.
  18. Cabela's seems to be doing a good job keeping the prices down compared to a lot of the other's.......
  19. I could be wrong, but I don't see the majority of hunters weighing in on any of the recent hunting legislation let alone the anti's.
  20. I always felt that part of the allure of bow season was that it didn't attract everyone because it required a certain amount of dedication............my guess is if crossbows are ever allowed in bowseason, the guys who have put off picking up a bow because they either don't have the time or desire to learn to shoot a bow, will get a crossbow and spend a day or two sighting it in before they hit the woods.
  21. Bear are legal to take where I hunt, so without a doubt I would shoot one.........and I would think killing a bear out of season and killing one where there is no season, would be more or less the same thing.
  22. would it matter if you shot a bear in an area closed to bear hunting?..........I can say that absolutely yes, it would matter.
  23. I think if they cut the price as much as they did, they all but came out and said they screwed up.........
  24. if you go with a canoe, avoid aluminum......... they're very noisy
