Same thing during deer season. I think its lack of practice and overconfidence in the equipment. ive passed an a few birds so far this year because of the lack of confidence in the shot, but thats just me. i would rather lose the turkey contest than waste $25 in ammo on a bird that might be too messed up to eat when all is said and done. but thats just me.

The wallys are active in the tioughnioga, chenango, and susquehanna. limited out saturday and sunday, everyone else in the area doing well also.

Here is another trane of thought... get the muzzleloader first, it has just as good or better performance as the 30/30, and it extends your hunting season another week. plus its useable in most shotgun only counties.

building a gun can be as simple as a piece of pipe and a 2x4. guns have been built in peoples basements since the invention of the basement. This is simply the next evolution of technology supplying the 2nd amendment. All laws still apply whether you are purchasing a commercial model, or making one on your own. the buzz is the fact the public (particularly those under the age of thirty) are very computer literate, and that takes alot of the craftsmanship skills (that are no longer taught in school) required to conventionally build a gun and makes it unnecessary. Pick a file of what you want, load the printer, kick back and watch your glock clone be created. But without a pistol permit, you go to jail. It is pretty cool watching this process develop. theres buzz about auto body shops simply printing body panels for collision repair, removing the supply line. so as long as there is a data file available, obsolescence is obsolete. interesting concept.

Yes he did. but im sure he has sold it out of state to comply with the new law......

My agway carries it. try yours.

"if you build it they will come"!

That could be good to know. where is this study? or are we keeping the info for yourself? i would like to read some of this as to check the credibility of it (hey if the gas companies can be checked and double checked, all info is fair game). Doc's been reading some good stuff too but wont share. Hmmmmmmmmm. I'll ask again, not trying to be controversial, just looking for ideas as to what would be good energy sources in the short, medium, and long term. What has anyone else read or seen that wont have environmental impacts? You wonder why i have little trust in the anti frackers. 6 pages of debate, no referrals to go to, so i can say ohhh i get it now. You ask a gas company what they do, they tell you. sugar coated it may be, but they tell you. the number one tool in the anti's arsenal is to delay, delay, delay, until the problem disappears. this tool is used very effectively with all liberal anti groups regardless of the cause. (and yes the libs do lead the anti fracking movement). When anti pollution movements are lead by the likes of Al Gore and his cronies, i think the scrutiny needs to be just as tough if the other direction, and just the mention of this takes the debate away from the original focus to everything else, until the original debate of pollution goes away. Dont believe me that its a tactic? how much are we hearing about the safe act today, as compared to 1, 2, or 3 months ago? the distraction was school, first responder shootings that happen every day in some form, the press stirs it up, then it goes away without any real debate as to the true cause, gun control. Its happening now. we need to control our borders to monitor who comes into our country and the reasons, but the conversation gets taken to the status of illegal immigration and what to do with the latinos currently here, and the boarders are still left open to radicals dropping off gym bag bombs. The point is tactics are more valuable than facts, and as much as you dont like the idea of being bought, i dont get a warm fuzzy about being manipulated, particularly by our current regime. (NY and FED.)

nothing wrong with pheasants, they're tasty too! welcome!

After spending the morning (had to stay home with a sick little one) looking for any 'smoking gun' of environmental devastation caused by drilling. So far a list of unsubstantiated claims is all i have found. but hey i still belive in santa clause so ill keep looking..... Back on the political side. Andy wont approve drilling until he is elected president, a lame duck last minute back room signing, if then. he cant ruffle the feathers of his political base and expect to be reelected governor, especially after the safe act uniting many against him. So I guess the question i have to all anti frackers is whats the next step for energy production? What ideas do you folks have to keep energy affordable for the next 5,10,25 years? What can be produced that will keep us from going broke, or putting us back in the stone age? I would like to hear any and all ideas that will keep us going, and work with in the regulations of the u.s. energy policy, and is environmentally friendly.

Sits.... it not being a steward of the environment that get people labeled tree hugging liberals. its people who snap straight to companies are bad and use the environmonet for the excuse or tool. my guess is the biggest opponents (and probably) the majority of opponent do not work in the private sector, so there way of life in general will still be paid for through public funds. (im not saying welfare im speaking public employment). there are a few private sector people that view it on principle but its a small minority. it always ruffles me a bit when i hear energy costs is too high, food costs are too high, and no one can find a job, but when a corporation comes in especially into NY with a way to help (not fix but help) they are shunned because they are a corporation, which make them evil. this happens with everthing, not just gas drilling but with all aspects of buisness. the not in my neighborhood philosophy is just adding to the decline of NY. thats what makes them liberal.

Good thing the way my turkey hunting went! And they are a couple of fillets were fryed for breakfast!

Oh no this isnt going to be the next antler restriction thing is it? lol... My opinion is if you are going to eat'em choot'me sits!

Sweeeeeeeet!

The first weekend in May is always sleepless. In the annual double header of opening walley season/first weekend of turkey we did very well but couldnt seal the deal. We hit the tioughnioga river at midnight, by 2:30 we were done....limited out. By the time we were through filleting it was getting light so off to the woods... Saw 6 no shots. so it looks like fish and chips for dinner!

Hey Doc, the same companies that make loaded ammo make the components as well. So if they are loading all the ammo they can, they are using their components up as well. bullets are becoming more available powders if your flexible, and primers....not so much. what in particular are you looking for?

give your wife one of those fancy all day spa things for an anniversary/mothers day gift! she'll be gone, you can hunt, and since you will out of the woods at noon, you will still have time to make her dinner!!!!

Yes look at the science. Thats the point I keep harping on, where is the science proving fracking is the evil thats claimed. Ive spent many of hour looking for the bad. I cant find hard fact, hard science. Everything the anti groups is posting is emotional politics, not hard fact/science. Ive asked for anyone to post a link that will show fracking is the nightmere it is claimed. Neither you nor doc has come through. The only link that has been posted was of underground chemical storage. That tells me people are grasping at straws for proof. Yes every buisness is based on risk reward, and if you dont feel that you should on your property ill back you 100%. But dont deny me or anyone else the opertunity without bringing facts/hard science.

one word..... neoprene!!!

POST IT!!!!! you're already 1 up on a lot of us!

nice take!

So what dish did you make with them??????

So if there is hard science (not a glory seeker sitting at his table claiming there is weapons grade plutonium in his water) with 3 minutes of internet searching, why is it not being brought to light (ie posted as proof the companies are gross polluters)? If a gas company errored in such a way render an area useless, or didnt address any environmental that have been brought to light, of the ever famous claim of screw the public and the enviroment be damned, it would be all over every news source, not buried on some obscure website. So the fact that the anti points are not being readily backed by fact, its political, not scientific.

for my fifth wedding anniversary, after my wife (now ex) stood me up for dinner, i stopped at walmart, bought the cheapest inline, with a 3x9 tasco and mounts, sling and some powerbelts. all around $250. plastic stock, some black coating on the metal, its taken quite a beating and many deer, longest shot was about 200 yrds so its just as accurate or more than i am. and i hate to say it, but its lasted longer than the marriage did! Stick with an inline. A few years back my buddy and i decided to get 'more traditional' so i bought a cabellas hawkins reproduction cap and ball gun. its a hoot to shoot, but it very sensitive to moisture, so if it foggy or raining it a crapshoot as to if or when it will go off.

oh i know what you mean..... i have a bread recipe from my great grand mother, 4 handsfull of flour, a bit of sugar, a pinch of salt and yeast, mix let rise, knead let rise, heat up oven 2 ash logs to hold, bake till done. love those old recipes!
