Every life is precious but some lives hold a lot more politic clout then others. If the politicians thought every life was precious they would have introduce legislation after some wacko walked in an Amish school and gunned down the children in PA a few years back. Apparently no ones cares about those kids that lost there life. Or there was the movie theater shooting this summer, again who would be crazy enough to jeopardize their reelection by called for gun controller after that event. Apparently no one though gun control was needed then either.

I am going to boycott them! Of course hunting season is over and I restock my slug supply last week with their buy 3 get one free sale on top of the mail in rebate. Maybe by the time I need additional supplies I will have forgotten about my boycott.

I think the bigger question is where did my Buck go? I was on post at my favorite stand and base on the trail cams he should have been there? Did the mods harvest him without my knowledge? Bet they wouldn't even consider posting a picture in the harvest thread, maybe in their own journal playing by their own rules? We need answer!

While your asking; does it have a scope?

I am dumbfounded in that someone breaks a laundry list of laws meant to stop actions like this and the first thing people want to do is add more laws and restrictions. The people committing these crimes could careless what is supposedly in place to stop them. They plan and strategies to create the maximum impact with weapons available to them. The quantity of ammo or type of weapon typically not the limiting factor in ended the event. The events ends when the coward out end decide to eliminate themselves. It is about controlling the event to them. How many end it themselves with unused weapons and ammo readily available? There is not a law you can pass that will stop a indifferent person who has zero regard for human life from carrying out a their plan for their final self gratification and final control.

Every year we go to breakfast first, then trek out to the tree farm for some good times selecting a tree. Have found over the years it we prefer a tree to be a little sparse, allows for more room to decorate. As for the Griswald tree, when I was a kid my Dad thought we had the perfect tree on our property. It was the top portion of a 20' Hemlock. Sure enough got the ladder out and cut the top out to bring in the house. Ended up with only about 6' of ugly tree. We learn the top portion doesn't look so good when view at eye level.

They are still there and like you said pretty ground up. There a several truck parts too. Glad to hear your didn't incur any damage.

Bubba responded? Must have ignored that post....

If I would have known sooner you could have drug a couple over to Larry's for me; would have saved me a trip down to Harriet Hollister SP tomorrow morning.

Leaving now. Only chance I have to be in the woods. I haven't seen any deer at my house.

Nice buck. Was gonna say looks like he was beating up on a tree not to long ago.

I used Larry's in the past during regular season, no complaints on my part. If I had the same experience you mention I would have some concern over what happened.

I have the privilege of hunting the land that everyone else pays for. I always have a lot of buddies that hunt with me. We typically manage our property with the brown is down theme. . Wish I could have my own place or lease but in the meantime state land is the only chance I have to get out.

Caused more then my share of trouble in Clinton. Grew up in Franklin twp. Shot my first Buck in Ken Lockwood Gorge. Will be heading home for Turkey Day. Kind of bummed I miss prime Deer season in NY for it.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. When I lost my Dad I had a tough time getting back in the woods. A lot of special times shared during our hunts. The time I spent in the woods that year where always at his favorite stands.

8F with my bow most likely, 8H or 8N if I have time to take my gun for a walk in the woods.

Good move letting him "take part" in the hunt.

I grew up in Hunterdon County. Cut my teeth at Spruce Run hunting and fishing. Now that I live and hunt in Rochester Region I laugh when people say public land is crowded.
