The Shot Heard Throughout N.Y.
dbHunterNY replied to hunter49's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
We had 12 at the North Troy Rod and Stag... word has it other members didn't go but still participated elsewhere. I shot my 30-06 into a steel gong for more noise. we fired a couple bursts of fire. Had a light rain too. -
millennium makes good ones. Dick's Sporting Goods had a nice D-tube style ladder that was 20' and with an extension would get you well up past 20'.
-
I shoot Easton Lightspeed 3D 340's they're similar. Easton's been around for a while and know what they're doing. They make a great arrow.

not sure how much they're going for but that design doesn't work well turned all the way down. also if you're a longer draw say 27" or more it's a pretty short axle-to-axle bow. you still have lots of adjustment so it'd be perfect for a growing pre-teen up to a small framed adult. 300fps isn't impressive by today's standards but it's plenty to kill a deer within 35 yards.

Public Land in Albany and Rensselaer Counties???
dbHunterNY replied to 518BowSlayer's topic in Deer Hunting
still big deer in there on occasion. though to bowhunt though, can't leave a stand and not many trees help you out with a climber. -

Governor Announces Support for Crossbows in NY
dbHunterNY replied to Tinlodge's topic in CrossBow Hunting
I'd tell them I'm glad they supported it. aside from that they shouldn't expect much....especially skelos! at least we knew what was coming from Cuomo. -
no more sportsman or super sportsman
dbHunterNY replied to silent death's topic in General Chit Chat
for a supersportsman it's a dollar cheaper but instead of getting one thing I've got to get them all. a little cheaper for buying single licenses but I remember when it was only $19 for a big game license. it's nothing spectacular and not saving much as a resident. non-residents will be happy though. idk -

dbHunterNY replied to silent death's topic in General Chit Chat
same here but I'm only 30 so it wasn't that long ago. -

dbHunterNY replied to silent death's topic in General Chit Chat
only for lifetime licenses and if you so desire. ....that's what I was told anyway -
111" gross I just don't see it. I'm thinking he just barely breaks 120". I guess my guess is wrong. you scored him, assuming you scored him right. only has like 8" tines, so pushing 130" is a bit off.
-
that's kind of funny, as I don't drink coffee. lol seriously though anyone have a Ruger Mark III or know anything much about them? Is this accuracy typical or should I stick with that specific ammo?

santa was nice to me rem 700varmit
dbHunterNY replied to silent death's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
nice gun... hope it works well for you. I've got a Savage Model 12 varmint rifle in 223 and I love it. by far my most accurate rifle. that's a cool chart. it allows a bit of range for bullet weight but it hold true to mine. mine's a 1:9 and it can cloverleaf shots at 200 yards on a calm day with non-moly 60gr Vmax loaded Black Hills ammo. -
Planting apple and pear trees
dbHunterNY replied to Fletch's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
yea just one tree if pruned right years down the road will produce about 2600 apples (20 bushel, 110-130 apples per bushel). a lot is lost to deer and fallen ground spoilage. -
Planting apple and pear trees
dbHunterNY replied to Fletch's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
Who said anything about PVC? that corrugated pipe that was used in the video seems to work..... I know others that have used the same with no issues. once the tree gets big enough you can pull it off the trunk, unless you wait until there is very little room between the tree and pipe, then you might have to cut it again. maybe that's what lurking means. -
scout new spots/look for sheds. shovel a fraction of what you did. cut fire wood and load tractor trailers (or deliver) square bales of hay at my parent's farm. I've also got a treadmill, free weights, universal gym, and heavy bag (for boxing) in the basement.

Have the money, now I have to choose…
dbHunterNY replied to CuseHunter's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
hopefully it's only a few years old at most or even better pre-'64. ones in the middle I don't think shot as well. good deal though. -
Planting apple and pear trees
dbHunterNY replied to Fletch's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
I assumed you meant 4' of culvert pipe around the trunk of the tree when you say "tree tubes". another thing they may not all live. not nursery related but check this out.... other great stuff too. http://www.midwestwhitetailproperties.com/latest/41 -
Planting apple and pear trees
dbHunterNY replied to Fletch's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
yea I'd use tree tubes still. you should spray (with non-residual stuff) early spring once things start to green up to kill all the weeds and competition. you'll need to spray them too for bugs. based on what you said there's a lot that cross pollinates with what you're wanting. For example I like Macouns (for me) and they drop October during bow season. Deer like apples highest in sugar content (as they overly ripen sugar content also goes up). Doesn't really matter taste wise for tartness or sweetness, it's still an apple. You don't have a ton of trees so pick ones that cross but drop at slightly different times. they'll probably all be within an acre or so look at spacing in apple orchards. when you prune an apple tree each branch should split into two and only two as you work out to the ends of the overall branch. that way light can get into the center and produce more apples. I don't think much of a selection is usually around until late spring. You're ordering like $600 just in trees so any local nursery should be able and willing to help you out. You should let them know sooner than later though. I'm not at all an expert, so maybe someone else can chime in that's knows a bit more. I've basically looked into doing the same thing at my house that you are doing. It's just not high on the priority list yet. still have to pick more of which I'm putting in, otherwise I'd give you my list. -
absolutely bigger cut provides more of a margin for error to allow you to take out the small vitals. also all that energy has to go somewhere and if you don't get a complete pass through that means it went into the bird. also the arrow sticking out both sides sometimes prohibits the bird from taking flight, if it's not anchored right there.

nice buck by the way.

dipping it seems is done more and more. not sure if I'd have one done or not. looks cool but idk. I guess it's still pretty different.
