I bought this from forum member Billdogge a few months ago. Looks and shoots great. Whether it will be a "Killer Bow" is yet to be determined. That will be up to the bozo who will be hunting with it. LOL

Turkeyfeather seems like a really nice guy and good candidate for moderator, but you'd get nothing for making him a moderator. The McNuggets are only if people receive the goods they paid for. And just to be clear the box of 10 McNuggets are to be shared by all the moderators on this site if the goods get sent out. Not like you'd each get a box of 10.

Maybe if the folks get the goods they paid for. Until then all the moderators will get are these.

The hunting shows definitely have a way of swaying our minds, that's for darned sure. Heck, I'd even say that hunting shows are probably the main reason that planting food plots has become common place. Years ago before cable/satellite TV and the endless stream of hunting shows food plots were unheard of. Hunters just went out, planted their butts under a tree and hoped that a deer would stroll by. Hardly anyone did the preparation that many do these days in anticipation of hunting season. Firing their rifle the day before hunting season to see if it's still in zero is about the most they did! LOL

I'll let FSW answer you for me on that one. LOL

Deer will surely eat what they could find whether planted by man or nature. The difference to me at least is that the food plot is specifically planted for deer while other things are not. I don't know if that feeder going off will automatically bring them in. I don't think either method is a slam dunk, but both will at least keep the deer in the vicinity.

Glad you didn't take offense. I've heard the argument that food plots help feed the deer thru winters and such, but I think an equally good argument could be made that deer should be left to fend for themselves like nature intended. If we feed them can we then consider them to be truly "wild" animals?

I figured it wouldn't take long for someone to take offense. Reality is that you are hunting over bait that you planted as others might hunt over bait that they bought in a bag. As Uncle Nicky said, its all about "keeping wildlife in the area" with the idea that it might help your hunting. If one wasn't a hunter they wouldn't be planting plots OR buying bags of corn, so what is the difference?

I like the way you put that. Some guys who put out food plots can have a coronary when baiting is brought up, yet there is very little (if any) difference between the two. Now let's see how long it will take for someone to try to justify food plots by saying that they don't spread CWD like baiting does?

Found inside Robhuntandfish's trap.

Yes, we need more evidence. Words are cheap.

That's even worse than if they were made in China. Now forum members will never get what they ordered. Osama Bin Laden's brothers are wearing these HuntingNY forum items in Pakistan as are El Chapo's drug runners in Mexico. You can kiss the stuff goodbye.

He's watching reruns of "Kung Fu".

That's a funky scope setup. I think you may need to inch it back a bit towards your eye. LOL

The shirts and hats they sell on this site are made in China so they haven't been shipped yet and may never be. The word got out that most of the guys who will wear this stuff are Trump supporters so they are having second thoughts about sending them.

"60 Minutes" will be doing a report on this scam Sunday night.

Many times it's the parents who get more wrapped up in their kids sport than the kids. Win or lose most kids just want to go get a pizza, burger, etc. after a game. It's usually the parents who are in a huff if their kids team loses or the child performs poorly and not the kids. In the scheme of things it would benefit the child so much more if they put emphasis on learning over playing sports. I would even question whether kids who play sports are more fit than those that don't. Maybe my sample is somehow skewed, but I've seen so many people who didn't play sports as youngsters end up in better shape in later life than those that did play sports. Go figure that one out. Many who weren't into competitive sports took up activities like going to the gym, jogging, biking, hiking, all activities one can continue into old age, and activities that are more beneficial to ones health than any team sport will ever be.

You are correct. Thanks for the reminder. See you guys on another thread.

ZERO interest in college sports for me. It amazes me how many people follow it. I guess they have way more time to waste than I do. I remember kids talking about the Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders, and opposing teams in these leagues, but college sports was on no ones radar. Different generation I guess.

Some people don't like venison either, but it's probably because they ate some that wasn't prepared too well. Same thing most likely applies to bear meat. For me, the biggest turn off to bear meat is seeing a skinned out bear. Damned thing looks almost human when you compare it to other skinned out animals like deer, cows, pigs, etc..

Jeez, you must have attended a boring preppy elementary school if college football was the sport you talked about. I don't even turn on my TV on Saturday's during the Fall knowing that there will be a college football game on every bloody channel I turn to from morning to night.

You guys are bringing back memories of arguments in my elementary school yard during lunch recess. This was in the early 70's. The boys were arguing about who was the best shortstop in NY. Bud Harrelson for the Mets or Gene Michael for the Yankees. Truth was they both sucked. Bud's career batting average was .236 and Gene's was .229. Gene had the power, though. He hit 15 home runs in a 10 year career, while Bud hit 7 in a 16 year career. LOL

I've never made any predictions like you, Biz. I won't be betting a cent that the Yankees will win it all. I have seen plenty of teams have great years and then butcher it in the playoffs, especially in recent years with these extra playoff rounds. I won't lose a wink of sleep either way. None of this is very important in the scheme of things, that's why I laugh when guys talk about and argue this stuff day in and day out. You think the players get all upset about disappointing fans when they lose? Yeah, right.

Oh, I used to watch plenty of games long before you were born, Biz. I came to my senses, however, and have more productive things I can do with my time these days instead of watching 4 hour baseball games each night. I don't have to watch 100 plus games to know that you like to throw it everyone's face when your team is winning and then make excuses when they aren't. Just giving you a taste of your own medicine, that's all. It don't taste too good, does it? Yuk, castor oil. LOL

LOL. I don't know about you guys, but I think I'll be sending this to Biz for the baby shower.
