  1. the people who come off of their private land and drive onto State Land really baffle me, I'm sure these people would be plenty pissed if someone did the same to their property........it's just like anything else, I have nothing against the machine or any other object that is harmless until some idiot decides to use it to create problems.
  2. I just find it disgusting that people have no problem going onto land they shouldn't be on and using it as a race track, no doubt these are the same people that throw trash around wherever they go.......like I said people are free to do as they wish on their own land, but why be an inconsiderate slob when what you do effects other people's enjoyment of the outdoors?
  3. I really don't care what people do on their own property.....they can race around and crash into trees and kill themselves and it doesn't bother me one bit, they can go out and buy toys they can't afford and that's even better. The problem is when they're used in places they don't belong.........idiots racing down the street every time there's 2 inches of snow on the streets and going onto public land and unposted private land and destroying the landscape, that's the problem.
  4. I agree Doc, I hunt on two different parcels of DEP Property that someone decided to use as their own for riding their ATV's........the trails seem to lead right back to private property that borders them.
  5. Those are animals too, they come in all colors.............
  6. I'm right there with you.......although two years running I had Toms come right to the Jake and Hen setup, even pulled him away from the Hens he was already with on one occasion. But, probably gonna just stick with Hen decoys for now on.
  7. I use the Avian X as well, I'm pretty sure it was the presence of the Jake decoy that took him by surprise..........I chose not to wait and see how it was going to unfold.
  8. I set up with a Hen and Jake this year........when the Tom I got came over a little rise and got sight of the decoys his whole demeanor changed.....and not in a good way, good thing he was close enough for a shot when he spotted the decoys. I'm gonna put the Jake away for the rest of the season.
  9. I almost always pluck them, trick is to do it asap after shooting while the bird is still warm if you let them cool off it's pretty tough to do. It's more of a psychological thing for me, I have a tough time just cutting the breast out of them and tossing that big bird in the trash, you really don't get much off them other than the breast and maybe the legs if you make some type of stew or soup out of them..........and I roast them like a regular turkey.
  10. I don't have the time, desire or need to read this entire thread.....but yes, if you do something stupid with a gun, you may deserve to lose the right to own one, Constitution or not.......I know many say that owning a gun is a God given right, but I can't find that anywhere in the Bible...nor can I find proof that God even exists...enjoy.
  11. you should have used a crossbow on that Shepherd..........much more effective.
  12. 05/01 @ around 11:00 21 Lbs. 9.5 Inch Beard 1" Spurs had to leave another one gobbling yesterday, his last gobble to me was at 11:55...game over.
  13. the fact that the dog was left in a ditch to suffer, plays a big part in how this played out, it's not just the shooting of it that got the guy into major trouble.........
  14. how come there has never been a riot directed at the lack of work, available education and chances of being rehabilitated in this Country???????
  15. most animals, when threatened, scared or just confused because of their lack of intelligence, will usually attack whatever they can............there is no thought process behind it.
  16. just don't apply the wax and heat it like that after it's on the string...........I found that out the hard way.
  17. from what I've seen, 28 gauge may be harder to find in some makes of guns as well as it not offering a big assortment of ammo.......I still would shy away from the .410 for turkey.
  18. lovely........no shortage of idiots in this world.
  19. that's what I did with my kids, they only shot with skeet loads when practicing and I would stick the 3" magnums in when we went turkey hunting.........they never noticed.
  20. autopsy???? I bet lead poisoning was the cause of death.
  21. you say for turkey? I wouldn't get a .410 for that...............I bought my kids an 870 20 gauge and it was no problem, I put a youth stock on it until they grew into the full size.
  22. quite honestly, does anyone need to kill two gobblers if the population is questionable? you're certainly not filling the freezer with them and I never heard of turkey "overbrowsing" and hurting the environment..........we all need to be stewards of the land and do the right thing.
