Another Mass Shooting...upstate NY this time.
Five Seasons replied to phade's topic in General Chit Chat
I totally agree with your points. And there in lies the concern. However, I feel that the anti's will not go away until they get something. And mental health is much better than telling me how many rounds I can hold. For what it's worth, I'd be even happier if we just improved our mental health system in general. yes, i watch sons of guns. I realize all these things. I'm simply replying to the few people who feel citizens should be able to own whatever the law can own, and vise versa. And to me, that's just silly. -
Planting orchards
Five Seasons replied to ATbuckhunter's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
orchards even small are never easy. I'm not sure I'm quite into doing a vegetable garden, and everytime my wife starts, she quits on it. So i view my orchard as a man's garden haha. I also don't mind the time because I view it as a healthy hobby that gets me outside and feeds the critters I hunt and snacks for the ones I love. Although, I will agree that it can be very frustrating. -
how do you even buy one shell? and if you're offing yourself, does a few extra bucks for a box really bother you?

Planting orchards
Five Seasons replied to ATbuckhunter's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
thanks for the good info. I might have to plant a few. I'm assuming they prefer as much sun as possible like most fruit trees? -

joe six pack is just a term for the average citizen, that's all i meant by that. Nothing was meant to insinuate i'm speaking of a red neck/white track etc. right. I have every right and need to mount a fully automatic m240b to my upstairs window overlooking the street. Listen I'm an NRA member and very pro second amendment, but it's statements and beliefs like these that hurt our cause. I have nothing against semi-auto assault rifles and 30 round mags. I do not believe drum mags are necessary for anyone. I do not believe full autos are necessary for anyone and I think silencers should be illegal to the public as well. I understand the NRA must push back to avoid giving an inch and a mile being taken. But them fighting against background checks is just retarded. Look at the latest few shootings, and the college student in Florida. If you're not a nut case or a convicted felon you should be able to own firearms, and I for one as an owner of multiple firearms and someone who has a wife and kid would like the government to do their damnedest to keep guns out of these peoples hands and also improve their efforts against illegal firearms trade. And if it wasn't clear, I am against most of the safe act, with the exception of a reasonable approach to mental health and background checks (in addition to improved mental health systems). I also do not believe a citizen should own fully automatic firearms. Not because they would do any more damage to their target (exactly why the military uses select fire rifles) but because they're hard to control and easy to do unintended harm. -
Hunter/Game Warden relationships
Five Seasons replied to DeerLogic's topic in Advertisers / Site Sponsors Area
that's exactly what they do. they target hot spots. it makes sense. -
Hunter/Game Warden relationships
Five Seasons replied to DeerLogic's topic in Advertisers / Site Sponsors Area
I agree that those who generally are anti law enforcement of any kind tend to be that way because of a run-in that landed them in hot water for doing something illegal. If you follow the laws you should be fine. The DEC tends to be a little less of an issue then local cops when it comes to harrasement. I hunt mostly private land where I'm walking out my back door, so I rarely run into DEC, but was stopped once on a pond in the Adirondacks fishing with my wife. I had a license, she did not. He still didn't ticket us. I was also pulled over by the DEC at 17 for doing 90 in a 55. No ticket... not sure he could have proven I was speeding, but I've heard they'll call the cops and wait if they want and you'll still get a ticket. -
wtf is the point of this if you already had a handgun?

state land is state land Doc. Not much you can do about that.

most towns/counties have tax maps online. it still may not be obvious so you'll have to bring google earth into the picture. Also, it's sometimes hard to figure out the owner from a tax map, but if you can get the parcel ID you can search that parcel ID and find the owner, or search by owner last name and find the parcels they own. It gets a little scary as to what's available to joe public. here's what I use for wayne http://www.co.wayne.ny.us/departments/realproptax/TaxMaps-Disclaimer.htm use the tax map data then plug that into property data. Just takes some time and you'll get what you want.

HuntingNY.com forum upgrade - Any problems?
Five Seasons replied to HuntingNY's topic in General Chit Chat
for what it's worth everything is working great on firefox for me. -
i agree with range finders being important. Although a good hunter will mark a few trees/runs off and store them to memory vs having one on the bow. So when the deer is in range, you know the distance at any general spot around your stand.

Five Seasons replied to phade's topic in General Chit Chat
really? This is a serious response? Those tasked with putting their lives on the line for public safety and expected to stop bank robbers, gang bangers and potential terrorists who often possess illegal fire power should be limited? There is mandatory training and generally those on the swat team have been hand picked and extensively trained. But hey, Joe Six Pack should be able to own a full auto FAMAS or P90 too? -
Snow geese for the first time in Ontario last week on monday. Never seen anything like it.

Planting orchards
Five Seasons replied to ATbuckhunter's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
sort of scared that i did a bunch of fruit tree pruning the last 2 weekends and now we're going to get some ice... anyhow, not very knowledgeable with figs. Are they easy to grow and maintain? how long will a fresh plant take to produce fruit? -
this really only applies to gun hunting though, and perhaps that's why I love archery so much. The deer are moving natural.

Five Seasons replied to phade's topic in General Chit Chat
dont be silly comparing trained law enforcement to average joe six pack. a lot of those guns are straight up illegal for any citizen, regardless of the SAFE act. Your comment is similar to calling out troops in Iraq for having full auto machine guns. -
I'd focus less on the actual bow, and more on the archer. With that said, my biggest issue was wrist torque. They make some grips that can help/eliminate the issue. I guess I would recommend you analyze your shot and determine what it is that you're doing. Are you just inconsistent, or are you shooting low/high/left/right more often then you like (assuming your sight is on). Then, sort of like a golfer will do, you can work on these flaws and/or buy something to help you. One thing I bought recently for my Matthews was a drop away to do away with my whisker biscuit and I love it. Then there are the usual stabilizer, balancers, better arrows etc.

interesting topic. I would certainly classify this under the "advanced food/heard manager" category though. -

that was the only intention. But while we're on the subject, quotes appear a little different when responding. I'm assuming that's by design? I dont see the tags anymore -

seems the crossbow section is still here. I think that's a bug? -

Five Seasons replied to nybuckboy's topic in General Chit Chat
