Hopefully he comes back. Its a little odd to be together though

4" is still the legal max length, but sometimes officers will use a highly inaccurate rule of a 4 finger length. As far as i know it doesn't have to be hidden, but expect to be stopped if its not.

Happy Birthday guys

Did he acknowledge them at all? Maybe he'll swing back in an hour or so to investigate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can carry knife but it has to be under 4 inches and not a spring. Assisted knife. Even then you aren't guaranteed to not have a hard time or even get arrested. An electrician was arrested a few years ago for having a craftsman knife that he used for electrical work. Of course he was released and sued the NYPD. NYC has some ridiculous laws and numerous cops that don't fully understand a lot of them.

That is one nice buck!

I should clarify what I was trying to say. Many times I spot deer by just seeing movement so when I see a flash of movement I think its maybe a deer. By the time you can say deer, I had already realized it wasn't one. Now I don't even grab my gun until I think its a deer I would be interested in harvesting. Like I (as well as many others here have) said, we should all be clearly identifying our target before we even raise the gun to shoot.

Even then you are highly unlikely to get one.

We already have to do that with long guns so itll be 600 bucks every few years to have a pistol and long gun license. Sometimes it really blows to be in the city.

Dicks has a Bushnell trophy cam on sale for 120 plus a 30 dollar rebate.

The answer is yes, but boiling and baking is discouraged. It can cause the bone to splinter when chewed on. I gave the bones of the deer i shot this year to a friend and his sister said the dogs loved it.

Obviously you don't "look" like a deer, but we all know that we jump to thoughts of deer when we see movement. I don't disagree with anything you said at all. We have a responsibility as hunters to clearly distinguish what we are looking at before we shoot. But like you said, there are some real idiots hunting.

Ill be honest, in the right circumstances people can look like deer for a quick second. One day back in 09, my father was walking to his stand around 10 am and when he crossed in front of me about 100 yards he actually did look like a deer for a second at a distance. Now that was only for a split second and I easily realized he wasnt one, but some people don't have the best eye sight and shoot at anything that looks like a deer. People also get that adrenaline pumping so hard that they don't think clearly and shoot at movement. It can definitely happen...especially to people who don't pay attention so well.

That's good news for spring gobbler at least right

Concealed carry is a wet dream for me here in NYC. Maybe if I leave the city, but as of now the odds are so stacked up against me

I would look at the T/C compass

What a shot! To bad that heart is no longer good to eat lol. Congrats to him though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same as a bow. Id say get a vertical bow, but eventually xbows will be allowed all of bow season.

Pics or it didnt happen!

I bury the hide or leave it in the woods with the head (except if its a buck). I won't use it so might as well have it be returned to nature.

Not much on cams from last weekend of bow season to opening day of rifle in 3J. Had 4 doe bedded down for 5 hours by my stand and nothing came as well as the land owner seeing 6 doe and no bucks following. In 3M I found a nice big scrape as well as busting a huge buck right by the scrape. Im hoping the rut isnt over, but it was weird to see so many doe with no buck anywhere in sight.

Im all for them. Im seeing them work wonders in 3J. Ive had the most big bucks on camera this year than any other year. I would like to see them through out the state, but I do understand when people say they should have the right to shoot what they like.

This right here. 30-06 has on average 21 ft pounds of recoil while 7mm-08 has about 11 ft pounds of energy.
