doesn't everyone love it how everything's such a grey area. last i remember when all this went down you could call the NYSP safe act Q&A line and get completely different answers.

i've known some to ticket for lesser things than a blatant violation like that. i wouldn't risk it.

henry rifles are nice too and marlins

deer habitat varies from open fields to thick cover you can barely bowhunt. the BLR's are nice if i was to pick one though it'd be a winchester model 94 30-30. that gun has killed some deer.

i believe some of those are legit in that they have to be actually installed and fastened. not just inserted behind the spring. you might be right though in that often i hear how things need to be epoxied, etc.

i know you can get plugs. i don't know of anyone ever doing it though. idk why you'd be okay with all that added bulk, unless you were just doing it to melt a snowflake.

you an LEO or live somewhere else? seems like one hell of a 10 round mag and some scary features. lol

not really. just an excuse to buy cool gadgets that make noise to annoy the other half, because you're practicing to get ready. then when the time comes you leave go into the woods and take a nap in peace.

you're both probably more than capable to knock down a bird in other places. i'd take baby steps though and still pick a halfway decent county for birds. some areas have access but are much lower on turkey harvest and assumed opportunity. https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/30420.html

vegans scorn the idea of you killing a living animal for food yet have no problem killing a living plant for food or as an expendable resource. creatures we consume as food are said by vegans to be sentient beings. vegans don't understand how you can knowingly kill something for food, yet they ignore the idea that when crops are harvested for their vegan food animals still die. which animals don't die have been forcefully stripped of what they know as their habitat and source of food. a vegan is not God yet acts as though he or she is. they have no grounds for defining which living creatures are okay to die as collateral damage and which shall be saved, all while telling others they aren't allowed to make any similar determination to survive. as a farmer, i'd believe that there isn't enough land allocated for plant based food production to even support everyone living as a vegan. some vegans also believe that we've been lead to believe we need meat and that we've never needed meat at all. this belief further backs ignorance, this time to biological science. as a young teen i took vet science. many herbivores have very different teeth and gastric anatomy then we do. take your walking piece of steak. it's a ruminant animal with a stomach composed of four chambers specifically designed to handle plant based food. we don't have that. our teeth are very different too and design to tear into a ribeye with ease. ever eat something tough like jerky? where do you unconsciously position it? that's right, at your set of canines.

no matter because bubba still had a sore ass and couldn't hit anything anyway. as it turns out back in field of beams were Brian almost fell his monumentus arrow carrying such momentum was released! it was that arrow, that fell from the heavens and skewered bubba in the buttock, that caused bubba's fall. biz had kicked back into agent mode. As agent Biz and Grow pieced it all together a giant pink bunny drifted into an alley filled with purplish pink haze and the newly discovered arrow evidence was now missing, with only tractor tire marks to follow. As agent grow struggled to take notes in her government issue Kindle, agent Biz shouted "to the Yelling Goat!".....

mine was approved same day it seems. online i got a recertification confirmation number and next recert date. it's same day i did it, just five years later.

they all look like jakes in the pattern. not sure if i'd decoy well but the color pallet isn't too bad. if i had someone to film for proof i'd kill a bearded bird with it on. finish sewing susie and let me know. lol

the group now in awe was left in silence. then suddenly the brown chicken came to life with vengeance. claws, beak, and feather overwhelmed mr. bill schmidt. while his shot was true the mighty bird was only stung and had been temporarily stunned.

like G-Man said they've basically got a biological clock going with fat stores.

short story officer: know why i pulled you over. larry: why no officer. i'm just driving this tractor. officer: license and... license? larry: sh*t. i forgot it at john's house. can you hold my beer? i'm going to call him right now. ....to be continued.

i've seen some tine repairs. nice job. looks like he never broke it from the pictures.

i'd send it back anyway with a note. unless he can figure out what to use it for i wouldn't know what to do with it. that's cool. my brother won a golden boy just last year.

pick and choose what you're getting there, what you're hooking it up to, and what you're using it for. we've got a woods back blade on the farm and a tsc back blade on my tractor at home. not much difference in size at all but the tsc one is hooked up to a tractor with much less ass behind it (not talking about the operator). you pay for name brands but i don't disagree with you that you often get what you pay for.

lot of comments about screwing up buck hunting by shooting doe. regardless if i have a good buck in the area or not my goal is to take around a quarter of the adult doe we're seeing, whether that's by me or someone else. it'd be counter productive for me to continue to let doe populate, in fear of ruining a chance at a buck. they're eating and competing for the same resources. when those resources aren't there the does and bucks will prefer somewhere else. summer patterns are often different than during prime time hunting, often with different stands. i do try not to fill early season tags out of the same stands or as deep into cover that i'd be when hunting later into the season when the stages of the rut are noticeably kicking in. not all properties i hunt allow me that luxury, which is even more reason for me to fill a doe tag early and get the heck out of there to let things rest. i've done so with plenty of success. early season i'm filling a doe tag with an adult doe as fast as possible or hunting a buck that's on an obvious pattern. otherwise i'm saving my efforts to scouting while giving the deer space. if i'm that worried about population growth and over harvest i'm not shooting any fawn. i've done the last weekend freezer filling missions with an empty freezer, because i passed doe and waited. despite successful, they still suck. dragging doe through snow drifts or hunting deer that have been hunted and/or probably now shifted to in-accessible or otherwise aren't huntable. not debating anyone about their own situation, just stating what works for me.

in chuck hunting world we call those half grown ones sentries. you see a lot of them after june gets here. sometimes if you let them dance around all ignorant like the real culprit comes out to show itself. not to sound heartless.

if i was an expert i'd say Dan nailed it. i'm not though so i'll just say it sounds good. we have a lot of hay ground on our place and neighbors. often there's a swamp dropped in between them. birds always seem to come from them but passing through and not so much roosting vs higher ground. experts have always liked our tilled up fields or even the most half-ass attempt at a newly planted food plot full of bugs and seed too. best spots are very buggy. bring your thermacell or bug repellent.

my dad worked for a manufacturing plant for i think a couple decades. they made chain, sprockets, etc. they pushed for him to relocate to Georgia. He basically told them not a chance all my family is here. i think the plant almost got shutdown but is still stayed a while because many wouldn't move. i think it's closed now. not sure if something else took its place. i was an engineer for a short time in the manufacturing industry. each machine has it's own quirks to deal with and get a quality product from. i don't know how many times at my old job management changed operators and had tons of problems. we'd have to go down and go through programming and access things like bearings. then they'd put the past operator back on it and everything went smooth as butter and the product was perfection. it's crazy to think multiple generations of the same family are possibly running the same machines. that's invaluable. you can't buy that or even fix it with new equipment.

no spiders this year. did have to empty some boxelder bugs out of a pocket though. i keep it down in my dry unfinished basement. no worries.
