just an added bonus for guys who love hunting with their kids to be out there, I can't imagine anyone using that as the one and only opportunity to spend time with their kids....yes, sad if that's the case.
-
just got an email from NY Bowhunters opposing this Bill....pretty sure I cancelled my membership when they opposed the youth season.
-
exaclty right! I hunt 4W & 4R, no overabundance up there...
-
no, but the post I quoted went into the dangers that a crossbow poses to the shooter......
-
I don't think the setbacks and safety have anything to do with the injury one might do to ones self. I'm talking about how far the projectile will carry, I was surprised at how quickly the crossbow bolt dropped as opposed to the arrow from my compound.
-
we have the month of January on Long Island, I enjoy it. I think the problem with that would be lack of participation.....the majority of casual hunters are done by that point, so probably little impact overall.
-
I live in an area that as of now does not allow crossbow, so that pretty much answers that for hunting at home.....when I travel upstate I may just use the crossbow, I'm kinda torn right now...only time will tell.
-
can't argue the fact that guns would be the most effective, I think the concern is of guns slowly entering the earlier seasons that have been designated bow only for years in order to accomplish that.....could be wrong.
-
I will say I've seen my share of clown hunters during bow season, they will be out there no matter what the season is.....I get the fear of guys who never bow hunted before running out and getting a crossbow and stomping through the woods like the're hunting with a gun and lobbing shots beyond the effective range, I have that same concern, didn't see it last year and hope I never do...time will tell.
-
I really question as to whether or not the people who make theses laws even know the capabilities of a compound -vs- a crossbow......I haven't done any studies, but with my limited experience with a crossbow, I'm fairly confident that if I shot my compound alongside the crossbow, the projectile from the compound would travel quite a bit further then the one from my crossbow. I'm assuming it's a safety concern with the crossbow that limits where it can be used and the discharge distance allowed......
-
I used a crossbow successfully this past season.....I didn't find it awkward, cumbersome, unwieldy, heavy or anything else. I saw the deer coming from 100 yards away, sat in my treestand, rested it on my knee, took the safety off, followed it in the scope and when it stepped into the shooting lane I put the crosshairs on it and simply pulled the trigger.....pretty simple. I don't get when people argue the difficulties associated with them.
-
from the grumblings I heard when the 2 week antlerless was implemented, I would blame low harvest numbers on lack of participation as opposed to the weapon allowed....but I may very well be wrong.
-
went with the salt, pepper and the worcestershire sauce....also added an egg and found I needed to add some bread crumbs to firm it back up, either way got good reviews from the kids.
-
didn't the two week antlerless only bow season in some parts of NY already fail miserably the first year it was imposed?
-
sounds easy enough... I always heard to add an egg to hold it together because it doesn't have any fat, is that not needed?
-
what, if anything do you guys or gals add to your ground venison when making burgers? I usually make other stuff with the ground but am going to make burgers tonight to see how they turn out.

Arrested for Running over Dec Officer with ATV
jjb4900 replied to Vince1's topic in General Chit Chat
I'm sure they already have his truck...probably lost that the day of the incident. I say one night in a maximum security prison instead of a lengthy stay in County lockup should do it. -
not to mention that very few are willing to give an inch to gain a few yards, that want all or nothing......if that happened, I would personally adapt and learn how to use a recurve, not stomp my feet and cry because I "lost" something.
-
I know you didn't ask me, but I'll give my opinion....it'll never happen but I would give up the first two weeks of archery to recurve and longbow only and then follow that with compound and crossbow season. I'd do the same with muzzleloader season, the ones now are just the same as centerfire and most better then shotguns.
-
true, but you can blow its leg off!!
-
what are the odds that right before that happened he either said "watch this" or "hold my beer" or both?
-
from this point on, he's gonna be busier then a one legged man in an ass kicking contest...that's for sure.
-
oh boy....
-
I have a neighbor like that too...his name is "Neal".
-
neither did he......
