You may still be able to get a few bucks for them. Storm, are you reading this?? The boots will match your gun! LOL

Along with your pistols, rifles, shotguns, bows, knives, pencils, paperclips, nail clippers, etc!!

There you go! No way that bear was a truly wild bear. They just don't get that big in a natural setting. I'll probably get flack for this, but the same can be said about the bruiser bucks that get killed in suburban settings or even around food plots that have become so popular. I'd like to have some of those hunters hunt away from such settings and see if they could kill bucks of equal size. I'd put my money on it that they won't.

That must have been a suburban trash eating bear because they don't grow that big In a more natural habitat.

If you are a white, middle aged straight male in this country, there is NO assuming anything. You are pretty much considered the lowest form of life and that's about it. You WILL get screwed before any other category would.

I tell you what guys, if you keep up some of your attitudes you will get screwed big time! I don't like this stuff either, but in today's world there is no such thing as "innocent until proven guilty" in many of these type of situations for a guy, so you better tread cautiously. If you want to touch a women's tattoo, you'd better be prepared for what might be coming!

You're a riot, Storm! You claim to have Weatherby's and then you hunt with an $89 shotgun! LOL

It's a break open action, and the locking mechanism doesn't work so he uses tape to keep the action locked. LOL

Nope, not seeing that.

Where in this picture do you see an impact? I looked at the video slowly a few times and I cannot see any impact other than white hair flying off the bottom side of her. I really don't think his shot did much damage at all.

If your bullet penetrated anywhere in the shoulder or behind it you would have found blood. Next question, I see you were carrying an AR style rifle. What caliber was it?

Was that deer limping when it came in? Sure looked that way to me. I think you hit it low and just grazed the hair and drew no blood. I see lots of white belly hair flying off of her.

You will most definitely get an occasional dud with .22 ammo.

And well you should! The rest of us are sissies compared to Buckmaster!

That would make sense actually. That's where all the village idiots would go to hunt. LOL

Lets say this land was sold to a new owner, or the current owner now decided to not allow hunting or hiking anymore. You think those people who have hunted and hiked it since the 60's could continue to do so just because they were allowed to in the past?

I'm assuming this land is private, correct?

Maybe in bye gone days people took the liberty to hunt any land they didn't see a posted sign on. The world was different then, but in this day and age I just can't understand how anyone would think it's OK to hunt a piece of property like that. Simply not the right thing to do to trample on land that you know is private without the permission of the owner. I don't care what the technicalities in the law are.

Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and a good portion of Orange and Dutchess counties are most definitely not upstate and never have been in my book. If you are within an hour too an hour and a half of NYC limits you are in suburbia and not rural America. Guys can think they are in the boonies up there, but I can assure them they are not. And this is coming from someone who grew up in NYC.

Sorry, but that's not the way it should be done. If I was the landowner of that property I wouldn't have gone berserk on you, but at the same time would not have granted you permission either. If you want to ask for permission to hunt someones land it should probably be well before the season and most definitely NOT in the type of situation you just described. If you want to hunt it should be done properly, not by just jumping out of your car, ringing the landowners bell to ask for permission and then taking shots at the deer that just happen to be standing around.

Thanks for the info. Interesting that they'd put such a check point inside NYC limits. Coming down the Hutchinson and going over the Whitestone Bridge has never had any such check point that I have ever seen. Could be an alternative for those who don't want to deal with such a stop.

So, you were going to ring his bell to ask him if you could shoot one of those deer??

They couldn't possibly stop every car that passes that way. What made them stop you? Were you hauling an ATV or had something on your vehicle that made them think you were a hunter??

I get that they are volunteers, but I think their last sentence is not what someone who called them wants to hear at a time like this. It's like someone calling on a doctor only to be told that they should go out and get a medical degree.

In TF's photo those deer ain't hanging or in a beer cooler. They are on the ground with a tarp over them right next to a port-o-potty.
