  1. Just for shits and giggles, here are the license prices .. Hunting and fishing combo ( small game only) $5.75 Hunting ( small game) $3,25 Hunting ( big game) $3.25 Archery( big game) $5,25 Fishing $3.25 Trapping $3.25
  2. Okay...That didn't take long...According to the 1959-1960 NYS Hunting-Fishing-Trapping guide, the legal hours for deer hunting in the southern zone were 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.... The gun season for deer that year was Nov 16- Dec 1....The archery season was 14 days preceeding the gun season... No Sunday hunting, of course... I am not sure when the sunrise-sunset rule took effect, but when I was hunting from 1965-1970 ( prior to entering the military) it was still 7:00 to 5;00.. I'm sure a few of the older local SZ hunters, such as Airedale, can back me up on this..
  3. Damn !! I think I have a syllabus from the 60s around here someplace...I'll have to look it up.. I can't remember IMPORTANT stuff worth a crap, but I do remember that when I began deer hunting in the mid 1960s that the hunting hours for deer ( and most other game were 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM....
  4. Antlered or antlerless...Just like turkeys ..Bearded or non bearded...What could be simpler than that....?... Nice ( and quite unique) deer, My Friend,,, …. P.S. Your aquaintance who said he had experience with such things is mistaken...
  5. Yeah, Rob....I would have to do some research to say when the 7:00 to 5:00 rule ended, but I know it was still in effect in the late 1960's...
  6. Why limit yourself ? 2" high is certainly not going to make you miss or make a marginal hit at 100 yards...And what if you DO get a chance at 250 yards ? I agree with Airedale that sighting in at 100 is fine with high trajectory chamberings such as 44 Mag or 45-70, but with many flat shooting standard calibers, why waste perfectly good trajectory ?
  7. Damn !! I miss Growie…. Thinking every gunshot heard was somebody poaching a deer.....
  8. Lots of rifle shots around....Sometimes the bow hunters forget that there are lots of GUN hunters around, and many of them are checking out their ordinance....
  9. When I started hunting and when Fasteddie And Doc started hunting, the shooting hours for deer season were 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM... I suppose that made hunting during the 1960s a lot more dangerous... I am aware that the number of hunting accidents may have been statistically higher then but I also wonder if the hunting hours were a significant factor..
  10. Just WAIT, young feller !! I think I'm getting stronger in my old age...Years ago I used to have to use both hands to depress it so I could take my morning leak... Now I can do it with one finger, and I still have to be careful not to leave droplets on the toilet rim...
  11. The only GOOD blood trails are wide and short...
  12. The stock and case hardening are definitely an improvement... I always thought the FN-Fal type, like the British L1A1 were pretty cool....That and the M-14/M1A are about as "modern" as my taste runs..
  13. I have an H&R Handi-rifle with a Tupperware stock and a Leupold scope...The scope is worth more than the rifle, LOL ! I have a Rem 11-87 with a synthethic camo stock... All of my other long guns are wood and blued metal.. The only stainless guns I own are handguns..
  14. Beautiful !! A fine example of a classic WORKING gun....
  15. I love you Man !!! Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun...Wood and blued steel for this old white boy …..
  16. OK, Let Em…..Where did you get my picture ?
  17. I saw a whole BUNCH of deer on my sit this morning.. Of course, I was sitting on the toilet reading NY Outdoor News....
  18. Yeah, Mom was right, as usual...<<sigh>>….
  19. I often did multiple selfies back when I was about 15.... My Mom told me if I didn't stop it would stunt my growth...
