  1. finally found a place online that had the .308 ammo I've been looking for, placed my order, and................they don't ship to NY.
  2. shot lightfields for years before switching to the sst's, really can't say a bad thing about either.......just better groups at longer distances with the sst's.
  3. you left "male" out of "body parts"...............
  4. like you stated, "isn't this whole issue one of hunter satisfaction?". Each hunter has their own reason's for hunting that satisfy them.............what satisfies one may not satisfy another.
  5. the law states you must be 500' away to discharge a weapon, but the target can be 100' away from the dwelling/building?..........makes perfect sense.
  6. and I see you're already shooting broadheads....in my opinion, broadhead tuning should be the last thing you do after you have everything else consistent and shooting properly, with the cost of broadeads, it's just not cost efficient to burn them up just for the sake of seeing how they shoot.
  7. no shortage of nutjobs out there......for every one found there's probably five more waiting to be found.
  8. are you using a release or shooting with just fingers?
  9. or check out youtube...........the internet has saved me some $ on auto and appliance repairs that would normally have cost a few bucks to have someone else fix.
  10. on second thought, if you're the type of person who does a lot of shooting throughout the year, I can understand stocking up with as much as possible now to avoid dealing with the ammo background check that's waiting for all of us in the near future......personally I make 2 or 3 trips to the range pre season and if the gun's on that may only cost me 3-6 shots after that it's just what I shoot hunting.
  11. I can just picture the puzzled look on all the faces of these politicians as they get bombarded by phone calls and emails........I'm sure the majority have no idea what they're voting for or against. All the more reason to get anything hunting related out of their hands,
  12. I was wondering more about the buying side of it where gun shops are concerned.......don't know if it's the policy of all shops, but my experience has been that they won't even accept returns on ammo, because "we don't know what we're getting back". I think that they normally get shipments in sealed cases from the warehouse, I would hope they're not buying from anyone who walks in with 5 or 10 boxes.
  13. I'm sure the hoarding / stockiling is creating the lack of availability more so than the lack of production..........does anyone know if there's any current regulation on the resale of ammo, is it legal for someone to buy up as much as possible and then turn around and sell it to small shops or at gun shows for a profit?
  14. I'll second the Hornadt SST's............they shoot great and get the job done.
  15. I know nothing about food plots, but think if ur property borders any of this and offers bedding and safe areas for the deer, you've got some great hunting areas.
  16. I certainly can't imagine license sales increasing because of them.....
  17. and even taking two mature bucks out of the herd has to have more of a negative impact than taking just one regardless of age...........just my thought.
  18. I have no idea who specifically fits into this......but, what sense does it make to be against taking spikes and 4pts, but having no problem taking two 6pts of the same age class, and we all know this happens.
  19. if you took a cocked and loaded crossbow, a loaded firearm, and a longbow with a nocked arrow, and left them unattended at a child's birthday party, the longbow would prove to be the safest..........in the hand's of a responsible hunter, they're equally safe.............I bet a hunter's knife is the cause of more hunting related injuries per year than all others combined.
  20. I find it interesting that some of those who are pro AR and disgusted by the thought of someone taking a small immature buck, see no problem shooting two bucks a year..........
  21. gotcha...............I still think that if I take a spike or an 8, the herd is still impacted the same.
  22. exactly......... so if I pass spikes and 4pts all season in search of that monster 1.5 year old 6pt, and on the last day of late muzzleloader I shoot a button buck, I've impacted the herd the same as if I shot the spike, 4pt or 6pt..... right?
  23. yes, unfortunately that is what it's all about.........and even worse, as you may find out, you don't have the choice of opting out, it'll be forced onto you.
  24. problem is, is that they hand out the tags as if each area is the same........there was no overabundance of deer in my area (4w) prior to them opening the floodgates and issuing multiple tags........ I think they need to rebuild the herd in some areas before even thinking about AR's.
