    How about the "tradition" of compound hunting - started in the mid 70's or so. Compare this to the crossbow which has been in use since the 5th century BC. Unless you are talking of using a longbow/recurve, the tradition you are worried about is barely a blink of the eye when put into a historical context.

    Opposite sides of the same coin. 2 media whores basking in the attention. Neither side was hurt or bettered - just entertainment.
  3. SteveB
    And this keeps hunters from taking bad shots how?
  4. SteveB
    Not saying anything wrong with whatever you do - only that it makes no real difference. Personally, if I am going to have a bar set for myself, it is one that makes a real difference.

    How is shooting a 1.5 spike or 4 pt ANY DIFFERENT from shooting a 1.5 6 to 8 pt?

    Want an answer? Ask a teen while they still know everything.

    Sad they can't see it was Reed's squarely fault and not any of the vendors that pulled out.

    Not interested enough. Know that creating mutant deer are what drives the pen deer "industry". Paula - I've done it - it is a shoot and not a hunt. Which is OK. Wanted to test different bow setups and wanted pork for the freezer. Both were 175 to 200 lb. Neither had tusks that would make it hard for them to live a normal life unlike the mutant deer being engineered.

    Raised for shopping - without being turned into mutants.

    No difference other than the pigs are not being raised to be mutants. Neither the pigs or the mutant deer should ever be allowed to escape or interact with actual wild game. And shooting of either in a pen should be called shopping and not hunting.

    Process to do so is more of an expense than most shops could handle. Lots of upfront costs just to secure licence for a lot of patterns. Tarjac in Waterloo does a great job and is where several bow manufacturers go. http://tarjac.com/

    Funny - raising pigs in a pen is bad. Raising mutant whitetails as pets for profit and 1 hour hunts is good.

    What kind of info? Are there a few scattered? Yes Are the hunt-able populations that may be successfully targeted? No

    One of the primary reasons to sit in a stand is to be able to be a little more undetected. This includes hiding movement draw. Far easier to get away with more than when hunting on the ground without the use of a blind. And the number that hunt from a blind is hardly insignificant based on the numbers sold.
  15. SteveB
    As far as the draw thing when game is close, you can draw a 50# 80% compound and hold at 10#. If sitting, rest the bottom cam on you leg and hold for several minutes until the deer closes and still make a quality shot. Question: why do so many if not most hunters sit in a treestand or a groundblind with mesh windows? Answer: to hide them and their movement from their quarry. Do anti cross bowers support restricting stands and blinds? If not, why not? They greatly reduce the chance of being seen drawing.

    I bowhunt with recurves - the bows that started our bowseason. However unless the bowseason is to be limited to traditional equipment (which I don't support) then all archery equipment should be included. And an 80% (Concept archery has one up to 99%) plus let off bow so short it can only be shot with a TRIGGER with a lighted fiber optic sight (possibly magnified) is far closer to a crossbow then a recurve. 2 Seasons - ALL archery equipment in 1. ALL guns in the other.

    Topic for another thread, but not rejoining.

    A 3pt/side AR which has been discussed forever. Anytime AR is mentioned, there will be those who say it should be statewide. Left nyb twice - 1st about 5 yrs ago didn't renew for a year or so. Rejoined again and quit when the ex pres Kevin lied about the type of non profit charter nyb was on another forum.
  19. SteveB
    It would protect only about 40% 0f the 1.5's in 7j, 7h, and I suspect much of the rest of cny/wny. And if the majority support - as you claim - then most 1.5's should be already being passed on. Obviously they are not so either the support isn't there or the supporters don't really care enough to walk the talk - or both.
  20. SteveB
    Why pass 1.5 only to target 2.5?'s Still killing immature bucks and that's what ar would do in central/western NY.

    You have my respect Joe.

    Rumor from someone in the area is that Cabela's is looking to take it over in the future.

    278 out now at the link I posted.

    Amazing they did this so quickly, but have such an issue passing a budget on time when they have a year to do so.
