so difficult and costly to travel with a gun. my life would be threatened by some in some states but I think a federal law for universal permitting requirements and guidelines would be good. no worries just one set of laws to abide by and take your pistol to any US state or territory. what states recognize what is just political money grabbing BS.

I'm left eye dominant and shoot right handed, because I'm technically right handed. my vision isn't normal. I've had aesthetic surgery to correct a lazy eye, but I still see the same way. I focus with one eye or the other, with the other being more peripheral vision. I've learned to shoot both eyes open. the image of what you see will be brighter and more clear helping you more precisely aim. every now and then I have an urge to close one eye still. my experience anyway.

it does make a difference. I'm sure a lot think "I'll do it later or tomorrow." then forget. it only takes a minute. I've got a more bills to follow up on. crossbows should be getting voted in. I don't even own one myself, despite having experience with them.

lol... still haven't signed up to get it. I really need to.

hope you heel up quick and get it figured out. knees are a problem. hard to get around and do stuff with bad knees. hopefully it's not in my future. didn't screw them up ever and I'm still young.

i know that got brought up in the other thread but i think why charges get pleaded down are miss understood. first the fines now are much less than what this makes them. this bill has even gotten watered down to pass it. it was more. right now fines are low enough and can be pleaded down a certain way where local towns get more of the money versus more going the state. DA office and judge together can only give and accept a plea that's pleaded down so much. otherwise it looks really bad and would lead to bad PR. local judges can't take that much bad PR and not fear getting losing endorsement, let alone getting elected in the future. this without doubt will benefit all hunters in NY state. poachers not so much.

lots of memes floating around for this. Not about to post any. I laugh a little but some are pretty bad.

simple presence of a substation or utility lines doesn't mean they're good to go. they won't know that until they bring land owners on board and start the initial process with the utility. there was a situation I know of where the utility basically said yea our infrastructure can't handle what you're doing, so we the utility will just send you an 8 figure bill to upgrade our stuff. this conflicts with the public announced NYS initiative to have such a % of power come from renewable sources versus the grid. I think the bigger hurdle is satisfying neighbors and community requests to keep them happy. town boards are just along for the ride in making sure those public concerns are addressed. it gets muddy and possibly shady when the solar farms go onto public lands, town parks, etc. that's not the case here though it seems.

....his own toy. full length video is still pretty violent. gorilla while alive didn't intend to kill him but dang. little guy is lucky he's still around.

consider it done here. hope you saw the deer poaching one in the Deer Hunting section here and return the favor. it should be treated as any other bow in the eyes of DEC. good luck.

you said it, a bigger fine for poaching is great. this is going to happen. only the most brazen poachers will still do it with increased fines. majority of your poachers only do it or continue because the fines are small to the point it would get reduced to nothing. poachers do get caught. It's already law to report your deer, it just needs to be pushed to be enforced. I only think that reporting an unused tag would eliminate the inclination by DEC to think it may have been filled. so I would be for it, but a law like that isn't as easily pushed through the process. this one is feasible given the system and process needing to be dealt with. if anyone reading this hasn't contacted Flanagan's office yet they should. the bill needs to get voted on in the next week if it's to be passed in time for the beginning of this hunting season, as the senate goes into recess and the law has a grace period to take effect. sooner we get this passed the sooner we can focus on other legislation to help make the deer hunting better. like putting it into law that we have "the right to hunt and fish". right now it's a legislative privilege that isn't guaranteed year to year, although it's taken for granted that it'll be there.

missed it.... happy belated bday. hope it was a good one.

how close you are to a substation or utility poles to tie in makes a big difference. also the infrastructure of the utility is somewhat unknown. they need to be able to support the power coming into the grid real time. it isn't stored in batteries or anything and then dumped into the grid when it's convenient.

it's usually written into the contract that once they don't renew the contract and they pull out the infrastructure is removed and land returned to it's original state as much as feasible. their intent isn't to walk away though. lots of money gets invested before anything is even built. the intent is to stay.

I have one. I don't often use it because I forget it. it works though and keeps your gun down range at the ready without killing your knee. weight is negligible. it's a stuffed cushion the size of your fist. it gets buckled and I don't have to carry it.

still voting for Trump. haha they should be careful. an assassination attempt at a Trump supporter could yield lead coming right back.

then email the link to others. we've done everything from posting on deer community facebook pages to emailing to everyone in our contact list who would give a darn.

this one is actually public record so it won't.

came up over a rise and bend in the road the other day in the truck. big snapper was right in the middle of the road. happened so quick all I could do was brace myself and line up the tires on either side. no contact was made and made it over it just fine. I heed DEC warnings and don't relocate snappers that big to the edge of the road. anything else I gladly will.

how does the new gun shoot compared to the a17? using the same ammo? doing good. keep at it. saw some out today while out around town but didn't have to go hunting.

poachers use all kinds of methods and weapons. We've had them spot light with crossbows so nobody will hear a shot.

few different ways i do it. I steep it in the crock pot with Brown's Cherry Raz ale beer (beer that's just as it sounds) then I mix it in with a smoky brown sugar variety bbq sauce after you pull it. little goes a long way. I've used other bbq dry rubs and let it sit in the fridge a while first then use a more of a hoppy beer (I've used Sam Adams Noble Pilsner). then I've also made it with Bud Light Lime-a-rita and dinosaur bbq wango tango habanero bbq. also add some dry heat (seasoning) to it. the bbq sauce isn't really that hot. all of them came out good. hard to screw up beer bbq and venison.

It's been posted before.... NYS Senate Bill S4727B increases the fines for illegally taking (poaching) deer. it's passed through committee and passed unanimously 97-0 through the Assembly and passed through the environmental conservation committee in the senate. It's possibly a couple days from a floor vote by the senate to be fully passed. it only needs to be scheduled for a floor vote, in which it will surely pass by a land slide. it just has to be scheduled. the man that has to allow and schedule it for a floor vote is..... Senator John J. Flanagan 518-455-2071 [email protected] feel free to copy his legislative aid - [email protected] this is really close to getting passed and will give poachers much more reason for worry and reconsider doing it in the first place. take a minute to get ahold of them and let them know you support it. FYI - you support this or you're the poacher!

yea I'd see the same and much more so before hard antler. I could glass down into the corn from where I am. deer definitely preferred the corn over beans I think just because it gave them a sense of more cover. field sets down in but is seen by a couple houses and a road. with a little swamp in between.
