Go to a farm supply store and pick up a bottle of 10% permethrin spray for farm animals. PERMETHRIN-10
Then make your own solution at the same percentage that you buy the ready to spray "human clothes" with. The amount you will make brings the cost down to pennies.

Overcoming a defeatist attitude is what makes it ever so much more worthwhile. While I agree with Bubba that the liability factor plays a role in our lives more and more as our species matures it should not stop anyone from "doing the right thing". I tend to be a optimist and find all sorts of ways to complete a goal and there must be others like me otherwise we would have never won our independence from Britain or gotten to the moon.
...lower the hunting age to get kids involved and hooked before all else takes over - I like this
lower hunting license cost so ppl can afford to buy them for their family - I don't think paying .27cents per day for a super sportsman is too much. But I understand the cost factor in the overall scheme of things. Rather than increasing the cost of the hunting license every so often, other users of the public lands need to pay their fair share. Hikers, boaters, Cache hunters, Birders, and others seem to be getting a free ride.
open up more areas for people to be able to hunt. - there is much NY public land that is open to hunting. Unfortunately those areas are a days drive for most. I live inside the Adirondack Park - so I hunt in my back yard.
I think your idea is great, but I can not see it getting off the ground

Hunter numbers seem to be declining every year and the reasons could be many. What can be done to help those who do not get initiated into the hunting fraternity by family or friends? I am sure that there are many who would at least LEARN about hunting and then some of those would actually begin to become hunters and keep the tradition alive.
Here's an idea!
Dicks SG's, Gander and Cabela's all sell equipment to hunters. They have a vested interest in ensuring that their customer base keeps growing and evolving. And my local Gander store already hosts hunter education workshops/classes. What better way to partner with one or all of these outlets to start a mentoring program? They already have the facilities and equipment what remains is the mentors capability and willingness to teach. The store can do the marketing and maintain a list of mentors. The pairing can be done by being at the hunter education class and a sign up list can be posted at all the sales counters. The store could offer a limited time 10-20% mentor program discount to participants and the mentor. This could be a self sustaining program if managed and promoted properly.
I plan to meet with our local store managers to see what they think. I think it will work! It will be a three way win - a win for the store - a win for the participant and a win for the mentor.
Can a list of mentors be maintained on this site? It should include, name, location to mentor in and contact information.
What do you all think?

Not getting a lot of discussion or input on these ideas, are we?????
I'm going to send off this idea to the DEC and see if they have any thoughts or input.
Good idea. I will start a fresh/new topic in another forum...then lets see if there are could be more responses. I am still going to contact Gander and Dicks in my home town of Plattsburgh, NY

Can a 'MENTOR LIST' be maintained on this site? The list could contain, NAME, REGION LOCATION, CONTACT INFO, MENTORING SPECIALTY

Sounds like a great opportunity for this forum to initiate something........The outfitters, Wildlife agencies, Conservation groups, ......who?.....
The obstacles to overcome are:
1, The mentor and student must be relatively close to one another.
2. Should have a shooting range or large private unoccupied land available
3. Putting the student and mentor together
4. Getting the interested student to contact a mentor and reverse
5. Advertising/Marketing the Mentor Program

http://themeateater....-take-a-parent/
Interesting article and a real compelling argument.
To sum it up, the effectiveness of youth hunts is that for kids with parents who don't hunt, their interest will eventually disappear because the parents won't consistently take them out into the field and kids with parents who are already passionate was going to introduce their kids to hunting with or without a youth hunt anyway. But if a newbie parents are hooked, then their kids will very likely get hooked as well so it's twice the impact.
I agree with Elmo totally. Starting with the earliest humans, all men were hunters. Moving through the ages and evolution, men have become more domesticated
and the "hunting instinct" is slowly being replaced by "bringing home the days catch" by stopping in at the local neutered food outlets. i.e. BK, McD and the various A&P look alike stores. My, how we have changed. 
I am willing and able to mentor anyone into the fraternity of hunters. :hunter:I just don't see them lining up or asking...so how can I. What do you all suggest? Ad in the paper? Scrolling banner on the cable TV community channel? I am open for suggestions.

Love reading all the stories guys and girls. Most importian point I would make is that many people seem to have hunting in thier blood, they just need a little nudge to get the blood flowing!!!
1)Hanging a deer in your yard might spark someone's interest.
2)Showing a real enthusiasm for hunting gets people asking me questions. I just can not hide it...
3)I offer many people free information on hunting and how to get involved, some jump at the chance others are not that interested.
4)Everyone hunts for differant reasons, some for the enjoyment of the outdoors, others for food, some for trophy and experiances with family and friends. Nothing wrong with any of those reasons and all are great to get us off the computers and into the woods.
5)While I have not heard of many things to get new recruits involved a couple sparked my intrest.
a) The survival game: With all the dooms day predections coming around many people are seeking hunting as a usefull and legitamate survival tool. (Hunger games helped!!!) For once I can thank Hollywood...
Best Idea I ever heard of was starting a survival course in our schools. Not only would this introduce hunting to our youth that does not have a mentor, it would give those with the hunting bug a chance to test the waters with out the need of a father, uncle or family member to make that happen. How can we get this accomplished? Anyone ever hear if this got off the ground? I heard it was in the works, just fear our liberals would reject such a proposal...Really don't remember exactly when I got an interest in hunting, but I think it was when my parents visited family in Beach Lake, PA. I remember my uncle handing me a single shot .22 and said, "here, go in the back and have some fun shooting". Once I held that rifle, something just "clicked" and a natural instinct took over. That was around 1960 when I was 10 years old. Fast forward...now have hunted in Germany, Spain, Nebraska, Florida, Kentucky and since 1982 back in New York.
I like what NFK-ADK writes about getting non-hunters into a thought process that will lead to their entering the realm of being a "HUNTER". For the past few years I was trying to come up with a not-for-profit program that would blossom into a state wide and maybe national mentoring program. I will start a new topic to see what others have to say or have done.
For those that are already mentoring - thanks! Send me a note off the boards on how you have organized it.

I have a 700BDL in .308 with a serial number of 66280. That's right, only 5 numbers! it was bought new in 1962-63. Bolt does not open with safety on!

Good heads up! I had planned to buy mine tomorrow. I will ask before I proceed. Thanks

I just checked on Ebay and it may be worth it for you to post it there. Check out all the loaders available and what they are going for.
Good luck

Geez......I was not so lucky.......2 young guys helped me with my groceries........LOL LOL LOL
-
What would I do? I would try to separate them so long as I did not put myself in harms way. If I could not, I would leave them alone and come back later to check on them. Eventually one of them would be in a position where the other one could get free. Maybe one will die due to natural causes BUT I would not shoot one. This is called SHOOTING not HUNTING! Let nature take its course.

Been a while since I've put any photos in here from my trail cams. Here's a few from the past couple weeks...
This was over 2 weeks ago of a 10 point hitting a community scrape, hopefully he put on a bunch of growth since then...
Got ole split brow on cam too...
Way too many of these things around...
Take care
Dave
Great pics - what kind of camera are you using?

I'm now a Kansas hunter and some years ago sold my 16-gauge. Now I am house cleaning and am inventorying just how many CASES of new, primed Remington 16-ga hulls I have so I can put them on craigslist. My long-time "pathology" is "stuff," but at late-60s age it's time to start thinning it out. Looking at prices, hulls seem to go around $14/100, new in box. So I am thinking $7/100 new in box. The Remington stock code on these is S23478.
Not sure how these would ship, but if anyone's interested email me ([email protected]) and we'll figure it out. My guess is UPS-ground; I can ship from a local FFL if need be.
BTW, I have listed now an old but nice Deitemeyer 16-ga reloader. I didn't know what to ask, so just took a flyer but no responses yet. See http://lawrence.crai...3136575445.html
Hi Geepee - wish you had posted this a couple of months ago. I ended up ordering my hulls and now have plenty. Your price right.
I do like that 16 gauge re-loader and it looks very robust. I use a Lee loader that I purchased in 1977 - although not as beefy as yours it does load nice shells, came with all the shot and powder bushings you will ever need and works well. $29.00. I think your market for your loader is a "collector of loaders". Unless your loader comes with all bushings you may have a hard time selling it. IMHO
You can buy a brand new Lee 16 gauge loader for $80.00 .
