    Nonresident hunting in ny with 30 cal ar

    Automatics? I assume you mean semi autos. The guys that bring them to the club pay the same dues as everyone else. Sure, some are not very considerate, but Id say the vast majority are. Plenty of guys out there with braked 300 Win Mags and 7mm Mags that pop off at the range, giving you a good scare at the other end of the shooting house.

    oops sorry, yeah semi auto.........these are public ranges, and yes we all pay the same............I was just trying to point out how the guy who goes there to shoot a few rounds may be turned off and develop an image of the guy with the "assault weapon".........kinda like going to the movies with the loud jackass behind you.

    Color fazes

    in Deer Hunting

    Posted

    There is so much talk about the colors of deer that we have here in the state.Has anyone ever seen a black deer?I havn't and was thinking Squirrel's have color fazes so why not the deer herds?Just something that came to my mind

    they do exist...I believe they are called "melanistic".

    I will add this, and I'm sure I'll be attacked for it.....but, pre Safe Act, Pre Cuomo, I have had a few days at the range ruined by guys rolling in with their duffle bags full of high capacity magazines and their automatic weapons shooting as fast and furious as they could with brass flying everywhere with zero consideration for the guy next to them. I would normally pack up and go home when these guys would show up.......so, I can fully understand how someone could easily bring this image with them when they see guys show up to go deer hunting with what is percieved as the same gear.

    So switching topics from ARs and hunting:

     

    Do you guys ever wonder where laws come from? Think about OSHA regs.  90% of them exists because of some idiot did something dumb at work. Think about driving laws. Where do they come from?

     

    If you are ok with a hunter using a howitzer and I understand it's tongue and cheek, realize that eventually they will regulate it out because someone will take it too far. Think about why we have setback laws, several counties with shotgun only ettc. Many of these laws came about because some irresponsible idiot ruined it for the rest of us.

     

    I disagree sometimes when the comment is made "As long as it's legal". We've had many ethics debates on this site, but the reason why is because there are still many unwritten laws that if we're not careful will become written. Again, I'll point to the idiots open carrying their ARs in target.

    oh, make no mistake, if there was no magazine capacity restriction you would definitely see guys with fully loaded 30 round magazines out deer hunting...........but I've seen irresponsible hunters out there regardless of the weapon or season, once again it boils down to being ethical and responsible.

    The military does not use AR15 rifles, havent since Armalite sold the rights to Colt and Colt redesigned it as the M16. The AR15 is a civilian, semi auto version of the M16. Better check your facts, which brings me back to what I was saying about the twisting of things to support your argument.

    they're all the same to some people, it's all based on looks..........it could be a single shot that looks like an "assault weapon" and it would still generate the same feeling to some.

    First batch turned out ok. Thicker pieces were good and the thinner a little too crisp. Went with soy sauce, liquid smoke, brown sugar and crushed red pepper

    what's the max temp. on yours? I have a Nesco that maxes out at 155 degrees............5 - 6 hours is all it takes on mine, once I hit the 5 hour mark I take out the thinner pieces and leave the thicker another hour or so. I'm pretty happy with this recipe.

    isn't it bad enough that the general, non gun owning, non hunting public and outright anti's, look at the AR's as nothing more than weapons of mass destruction that have no other purpose than to kill people? all they need to see is a politician pointing to a picture of one and saying that nobody needs one of these to go hunting, and they all gasp and nod their heads in total agreement............I personally don't like the looks and feel of one, but for the guy who does, more power to him if he's a responsible guy.

    I say to each their own as long as it's legal and you can take game in a manner which is humane. What you look like makes no difference. I mean, look at some of the flintlock guys and the way they dress....buck skins, coon hats, squirrel pouches...haha

    I guess it helps them get into the role of doing things the way they were done back in the day..............much like the guys you see at the range dressed in Combat / Military clothing with the AR's, many of them have never been in the military or law enforcement, but they like to pretend.

    There's no doubt that AR's fall short of what some may consider classic "deer rifles", and I'm fairly certain that is based purely on looks alone...I know it is for me, I have no desire to own or hunt with one because I think they are just not good looking guns, that being said, it doesn't bother me in the least bit if that's what someone else is attracted to and chooses to carry that type of gun afield...........I bet the guys who rolled into camp with the first automatic rifles way back when, got some pretty odd looks and comments directed at them.

    Should I buy a 270

    in Rifle and Gun Hunting

    Posted

     One of my hunting partners loves his .270, and I sometimes ask him for a couple spare rounds when I am low on 06 ammo. Those smaller bullets will still fire in an .06, as the cases are the same, but I wouldn't recommend it. Obviously you cant go the other way and squeeze the .30 cal bullets down the .270 cal bore.

    what? now I know you can't be for real....that's the stupidest thing I've ever read on here.

    Check this crap out!!

    A bit too edited for me……really now?

    ya think? not to mention he had no idea what he was really being asked............pretty much the standard answers someone in his position would give so as not to offend anyone, we all know what happens to someone who discriminates based on race, religion or sexual orientation in this Country

    I don't find it "political"

    as long as regular cigarettes are legal and continue to create health problems, I really don't care if marijuana is legalized and has the same effects on those who use it............I'm sure there is no shortage of people who suck down a 12 pack of beer, or a quart of booze everyday along with their daily double digit cigarette habit and create as much, if not more, of a public safety and health risk as a person who smokes pot.
