Mine hadn't arrived as of mail today. Went to my local clerk and they ran duplicates for me no charge.

We have vastly different definitions of "civilized".

Thats it in a nutshell. Unfortunately every fact he is presented passes by him about 10 miles over his head.

Just can't grasp the fact they are private businesses and the 1st Amendment doesn't cover them period. If you want it to, then you are advocating for more government control up to and including amending the 1st amendment. Most of us want less government - not more. It is just that simple, but you will (as always) choose to ignore facts and push for what your little utopia should be.

You can be banned from any forum just because the owner wants to for any reason. There is nothing in the Bill of Rights to stop it. Again NOTHING. Same as Youtube, FaceBook and every forum out there. To continue to say otherwise simply reinforces your total lack of understanding of the Bill of Rights. So by all means continue.

You know what Youtube, Facebook, this forum and everyone like it has in common? None are required by the constitution to provide free speech. If you claim otherwise, it demonstrates your lack of understanding of the Bill of Rights. And this belongs in the political section.

Leased the same 150 from Gutchess for last 12 years. Not the best but convenient and take deer there every year.

I'm there wednesday

Doing a batch of beets and zucchini B&B pickles this week. Then away for 5 days - expect to battle zucchini monsters on return.

Can't wait till every state in the country has CWD? Pretty telling character reveal there - and a surprise to no one here I bet.

Cooling off is refreshing. Warming up is survival.

All would be on the table

Their "service" has been rewarded 10's of 1000's of time over everyone else who served. The world would be far better off if the whole inherited royalty/leader thing had disappeared 1000's of years ago.

For what it's worth, I order big boy ones

Check out Ratchet straps. You can customize length, #'s, hooks, and ratchets. I get a couple dozen every few years. Way better quality than TS, etc.

We have our own Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels doing the HuntingNY version of a cult classic.

Um - no one shoots compounds in the Olympics.

2017/2018 NYS coyote season = Oct 1 to March 25.

I support full inclusion. I do not support the defining a bow by who uses it. So no to including only certain demographics. When the DEC is given control - where it should be, the bow course will be required.

Doing mine Sunday

So your "easier" is OK for bow season but others is not. Got it. Or 2 seasons - one for ALL bows and one for ALL guns.

I live a couple miles from my friend and hunting partner's bow shop in the Finger Lakes - spend a lot of time there and probably interact with 300 bowhunters every fall. Of them, a small minority shoot year round, a few more start by mid summer and the majority start getting ready less than 30 days out. I doubt 25 of them take more than a few practice shots in season - and usually it's because they came in for a repair. Joke is how dirty the shop gets in the fall from all the dust blown off the bows brought in to check. He's also sold near 300 crossbows in the last 5 years. Less than a couple dozen went to hunters that didn't have a bow stamp. His are low middle end to upper. If gun hunters are crossing over, they are going to BP, Dicks or Walmart for the cheapies.

I'm 67 and don't see the argument for allowing "seniors" and handicap only full inclusion. Either it is archery equipment or not. If it is, then it should be allowed for all. If not, it should not be allowed in archery. If "non archery" equipment is to be allowed, why is it crossbow only and not guns? After all - they are old and/or handicapped. Also love the "I'm against full inclusion because I want to keep using my bow but would most likely go the easier route if allowed." Shake my head that grown hunters need someone telling them to keep using their preferred choice.

What defines an "assault style weapon"?

Voluntary rate of compliance is equal to or higher than most states where it is required. Combine this with one of the lowest hunting accident rates the question becomes would adding another regulation make a real difference? There too a case could be made that not seeing orange implies a safe background without further due diligence.
