not to mention the hunt that's affordable today, may be way out of reach in 5-10 years.

I think Bob Foulkrod's mounts are displayed in the Bass Pro Shops..........did you happen to notice?

I was joking.........not offended at all.

damn, and I was just about to say something nice about you!

absolutely, after my last guided hunt in Newfoundland, I said to my brother that I get more enjoyment out of hunting and killing deer back home on our own..........the adventure of travelling there, meeting the people and the scenery in general was far better then what I got from shooting the Caribou.

Dove hunting in Argentina...........that looks like a lot of fun.

exactly, I have no problem not reading or commenting on many topics...but that's what I'm talking about. Like I said earlier, it does keep the board alive to some extent, but I would rather it didn't dominate the forum.

nope, if the Forum owners are content having it pretty much overrun and controlled by a few others, then I'm OK with that as well..........it's an interesting place to visit.

I remember when I first joined and posted a few inappropriate things, the mods were all over me pretty quickly.........now it's a free for all.

I have no problem with whatever people choose to post, if it wasn't for a lot of the topics outside of hunting/fishing/trapping related issues this site would be pretty quiet .........but, there is no question this site looks like a cluttered up mess.

I have no doubt that many on here could consistently kill deer with a small caliber by choosing only the most perfect of shots.......I'm confident I could, but I'd rather not have to pass up a shot on a deer because it's too far, or not at the perfect angle for what I'm going to try to kill it with..........If by finding more of a "challenge", you mean accepting the fact that you may have to let that buck of a lifetime walk because the weapon you chose that day is inadequate for the opportunity that was presented, then have at it..........too many variables in the hunting world, so it's not for me.

I've done Newfoundland and Maine.........to be quite honest the people, scenery, food and driving through the different areas and seeing the sights, was just as much if not more of a thrill then the hunting itself......my daughter moved to Colorado this past year so I'll eventually wind up doing a hunt out there, Mule Deer and Antelope have always interested me.

and I don't know why, is it the relatively small community of people that frequent it? you look at some of the other sites they keep it flowing pretty good year round, some even ban the ones who do nothing other then stir sh*t up.

LOL!!!........

here's some historical license sale data for anyone interested..... http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/26368.html

I didn't do the math..........was just providing the link that so many were requesting.

http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/cfabjan2015fin.pdf here ya go.....page 3, and I would assume this is as good a source for the info that you're going to find.

The article is in the latest edition of NY Outdoor News.........I tried to find a link to post, but didn't have any luck.

mandatory antler restrictions are the worst thing to ever happen to the sport of deer hunting when it comes to keeping older hunters and recruiting new ones.....and I hope DEC figures that out pretty quickly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsxg0ypjSl0 I love this guy.....he's right on point.

and we wonder why racism is alive and well........

quite honestly, I was more disgusted by his attitude then by what they did to the mount......it was only brought to him by my own lack of time to deal with it.

no, I had a pissing match with him and asked he give them back as is with my money and he did.........I actually wanted them back as is even just to put the quality on the internet.
