nice! it's been awhile since we got an hail storm.......

the majority of these wealthy people who spend fortunes on these auctions do it because the money goes to a cause, not to "steal" it from a less fortunate person......they certainly can afford to hunt pretty much anything at anytime they choose. It's no different than the guy who over pays for something being auctioned off for Ducks Unlimited or The National Wild Turkey Federation......

I know at least 25 people who buy hunting licenses each year............only 1 or 2 own "assault weapons" that require registration, 5 or 6 of them don't even own their own guns.....so, I agree that license sales don't reflect the amount of people who may own "Assault Weapons" or even guns in general for that matter.

trust me, it's not what you asked, it's HOW you asked it..............

there's always a couple really good ones, they usually happen right after someone says "hold my beer" and/or "watch this".........

I have heard of those auctions, but I figure the guy who could never afford a $5000.00 - $20,000.00 Moose hunt out of State or Country, would be more then willing to throw a few bucks into a lottery for a chance at a hunt that would cost him thousands less.

The only thing more exciting then the fireworks on the 4th, is the stories on the 5th of the idiots who blew off body parts.........

I was under the impression that the law only allowed for the sale of Sparklers........

But, a wealthy trophy hunter, is not going to travel to New York, Maine, Vermont or New Hampshire in search of a "trophy" Moose.......not to mention, why would they play around for years and years applying for a permit they will probably never get?.......I haven't looked into it, but it is it a fact that SCI are a driving force behind this? I actually look at this as a "poor mans" moose hunt and actually something the actual "average" hunter could pull off.

I think you're underestimating the amount of hunters in NY who have the means and resources to hunt moose in NY should the opportunity arise....

I give you credit for being able to watch it for that long............

300 lbs is about right......I should have said family & friends.

I'd like to see the Eastern Moose that yields 1000 lbs of meat, that would be a giant...........and I have no doubt that more than one person on this board and family, would, and can consume a whole moose in a year without a problem.

I'm willing to bet that if NY held a lottery for 1 moose permit and put the price tag at $50-$100 a chance, there would be no shortage of people applying.....

if you're anything like me, it's the woman that gets tied up to keep her from running away.........

you mean the bow I initially offered to basically give you for free? no, I didn't have a problem with that, nor do I have a problem pretty much giving it away to the guy who does need it...............time to get your meds adjusted again.

Hey, look who's back with another username change..........LOL!

my newest car is 13 years old, I have an old style flip phone, I buy a new bow every 10 years or so, I sent donations to Astorino and vote pro gun and hunting and voice my opinions via letters and emails.........I don't own land, so don't have poachers on my property....I think that about covers it.

yeah, I don't think I've ever heard of someone losing an animal due to penetrating it too deeply.........

I pretty much feel the same way............I'll continue to write the letters on issues I feel strongly about and cast my vote for those who support gun owners and sportsman, but you'll never see me standing in a crowd with a poorly written, handmade sign or an "F Cuomo" t-shirt on.

I avoid most "rally's" and "protests" like the plaque.........most make the protesters look like buffoons with their offensive t-shirts and handmade signs that usually have a misspelling or two, and instead of making those on the outside looking in jump in to support them, it makes them turn away in disgust........but, that's just my observations.

to be quite honest, if someone killed one and properly cared for and prepared it, I would have zero problems eating one............I may have missed it, but I have yet to see many chuck hunters carrying a cooler full of ice out with them to throw them in when they kill them on those 100 degree days, what I have seen is them laying around all day with flies all over them......so yeah, if your sole intention was to harvest them for food and properly care for them, I say eat them all...........as with any other animal the bugs and parasites usually start to bail out once the body heat starts to drop.

which one? to be quite honest I'll take $25.00 over shipping cost....I'm not looking to make money....and that would include a release or two.

yeah, tragically deer hunting has taken a turn for the worst...at least the way I see it.
