  1. I would keep in mind the roughly 95% failure rate of consultants and the fact that Ambit grows faster than it can handle, and the history of the founders tells me they will sell off at some point. Good luck in your venture, certainly not for every one. The hardest sell is a non-tangible product like this.
  2. What about if you loose customers after a few months?
  3. http://www.dec.ny.gov/about/74534.html
  4. Its Winnie the pooh. Clearly.
  5. Our new stove broke this week, went to get a replacement yesterday and they no longer carry the one we bought so I had to go to a nicer more exspensive model, then this am my wife's card got hacked. Thank goodness Visa caught it immediately and not much damage was done and we will not be on the hook for the cash. So, I can understand where you are coming from..lol
  6. We had neighbors leave dogs out before, we called the dog warden and he handled it. A year later the house was forclosed on and those people are long gone. Personaly we have bark collars for our dogs, they go nuts when someone walks by and even crazier when someone comes in the drive way. I can't beleive there is nothing the owner could do, he could crate his dog in the basement, by a bark collar, or try to train it out of him. Sounds like a lazy pet owner to me, the worst kind. Edit to add, after the warden talked to them they got rid of the dogs in my case.
  7. I will remember this if you try to shoot me this year.
  8. I start at 20 and go up, I don't think it really matters as long as you practice from all yardage's and know what your set up will do at each distance.
  9. We stopped for the picture before crossing the border on First lights land, he tried to keep us out after finishing the food plots but we made it over.
  10. I leaned that last night while looking for contact info. Maybe the higher end Apex are better but hers was nothing like the Truglo I use.
  11. This just in, Apex wants us to send the sight in and they will either repair or replace it for free. At least they have good customer service.
  12. Welcome to trying to see through fogged lenses and a constant aray of stuff in your field of veiw. Enjoy lol Contacts always seemed to give me issues, especially in the wind and cold days. Some day I plan on getting lasered.
  13. Usually package stuff is the cheapest crap, at least with the sights.
  14. I like Tru Glo, I have a micro adjust 5 pin but have had good luck with their stuff. My wife had an Apex that was crap from day one, pins breaking and striping out. She now has an older Black gold I had in the basement, it's tough as nails. Try to find a sight with metal parts if possible, plastic stinks.
  15. I bet you went back and stood there hoping for a sting and the swelling that is associated with it. hehe
  16. Same same. Just a difference in finish as Pygmy said.
  17. We were about to book a fall Bear hunt for next year but didn't want to bring the kids and couldn't get a sitter for a whole week. We looked at Hal Blood. No trips for me this year, but we are heading to pick up bird dog number 3 from Nova Scotia in about 3 weeks.
  18. Yes they do. Here it is http://m.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13066643
  19. I picked one up from dicks for @75 last year, might have used a coupon.
  20. Armor all or pan spray works too.
  21. http://www.pheasantsforever.org/page/1/stocking.jsp From the link... What kind of survival rate can be expected from pheasants stocked in the summer or fall at 8-14 weeks of age? On average, only 60 percent will survive the initial week of release. After one month, roughly 25 percent will remain. Over-winter survival has been documented as high as 10 percent but seldom exceeds 5 percent of birds released
  22. This is where NY falls short IMO, just imagine what resources we have in un harvested lumber in these areas. Logging , when controlled and managed is the best thing for wild life. I wish NY would follow Maine's blue print, allow logging which in turn makes access easier, provides habitat, creates hunting oppoutunities, increases revenue ect. We have Moose, Bear, Deer and Grouse in NY, just think how well they could do given better habitat. I recently saw a plan to help Spruce Grouse in NY, while it is important to address the issue I feel the regular Grouse population is far more important for us. For now I will raise my own birds and hunt preserves and out of state, at least I know there are birds and good cover to hunt.
  23. Pheasant survival rate even in the midwest is realy low, something like 30% make it a year I beleive. We talk about hunter recruitment all the time but would cut a great way to get new hunters into our sport in a heart beat. Reguarding Wild birds, how do you think the wild birds got here and are restocked acrossed the country? Certainly not by relocating wild birds. There is far more to hunting and conservation than just deer.
  24. History will repeat itself I am sure. I do my best to stay informed, even though I don't go after the stocked birds a whole lot.
