Only a hunch, but I think this latest gaff of Trump's will not go away as easily as the others have. We shall see.

Are you talking about the "$#!+hole" comment that the news claims he made? Today he is denying it, so did he say it or not? Can't give him credit for telling the truth if today he is denying it. That's his problem. He says one thing one day, and something else the next.

The show would be called, "Meat hunter, horn hunter: A love story". Gay actors are auditioning for the roles as we speak. LOL

i wouldn't be caught dead with see thru mounts. The worst part is that most are of poor quality. Typically made of cheap quality aluminum. For a big game rifle if mounts are not made of solid steel, i don't want them.

Slow moving bullets or slugs on scopeless guns is 40 + year old philosophy. The guy with a scoped rifle in any of the popular bolt-action rifle calibers will put MORE deer on the ground than anyone adhering to the old philosophy, I will guarantee you that. Plus, how about if the guy carrying that scopeless gun in .35 Rem happens to stumble upon a deer at 150 yards plus in an open field walking in or out of his thick brush stand?? He might as well wave at it with his hat, because odds are he won't be able to kill it.

Oprah and Trump are both dummies. Neither should be president. Pretty sad that we in this country idolize celebrities so much and now are even electing them to the nations highest office. And the left is no worse than the right when it comes to idolatry.

Does the bear go "tweet" when you squeeze him?

I've heard that some lower end 700's have had some rusting issues with the finish that is put on them, but functionally I would not hesitate to buy any new 700. The ones I've looked at appear just as good as any of the older ones, and many of the newer ones come with some neat features that weren't available 30 or 40 years ago. Give me a Remington 700 of any vintage and I will drop game with it. Won't make a difference that some folks these days like to bad mouth the company.

If none of the 25 bolt guns can make you happy, then nothing will.

I think a .22 would suffice to hold up a McDonald's to get a Big Mac to eat. I'm sure there will be at least a few of them open even when the SHTF.

Hey Biz, there's a buck on your lawn! Go get your bow!! LOL

Nope, not whining, just refuting your constant claim around here that hunting is all about the "horns". It absolutely isn't for more people than you will ever realize.

Yes, I would put you in as one of those guys. You seem to push AR's more than anyone else around here, and then you show little sympathy for the guy in the original article here who got fined and had the deer taken away. Like that extra one inch point that buck needed on his head to be legal made one ounce of difference in the scheme of deer management? Come on, please stop the nonsense!

Like I said, you guys are perfect and couldn't possibly ever make a mistake or God-forbid ever admit to one. And of course everyone must abide to your philosophies about what they should or shouldn't shoot at. Happy hunting!!

Some of you guys just kill me. It seems like some of you guys think you are so perfect that you could measure a bucks tine length and spread down to the millimeter from 200+ yards away. I call BS on that. Also, very easy to tell someone else that they shouldn't shoot at a deer if they are not 100% sure if you aren't THAT hunter. Like everyone is hunting 8 hours a day the entire bow and gun season like some of you here? And when a buck does come along will it just stand still in one clear spot for you for a half and hour just posing for you so you can look at it from all angles? Yeah right. You guys must hunt some dumb ass bucks, because typically any sized buck I've ever seen didn't stick around too long. Maybe some of you guys are hunting in Four Seasons Whitetail's pen or something?? You could probably measure them with a tape measure in there. LOL

I understand it's the law, but I think the fine here was excessive. He was hunting 40 yards from his house, so he could have easily just waited until nightfall and dragged the deer back to his garage and not told anyone anything. Law enforcement would have never known a thing. He instead was honest and all he got was a steep fine and even had the deer taken away from him. I could understand a lesser monetary summons being given to him, but having the deer taken away just doesn't seem right in this particular scenario. Law is the law, I understand that, but law enforcement needs to take some things into consideration sometimes. Not everyone who breaks a law does it intentionally or with malice. Sometimes it can be an honest mistake which I would say is what happened here.

I don't think you should be giving Cuomo any ideas. He'd be more than happy to claim that bowhunters only could get the job done on deer so that he could try to eliminate hunting guns also. That said, I don't think your statement that bowhunters accounted for 40% of the total deer kill is accurate. According to the attached figures in 2016 there were 46,735 deer taken during bow season out of a total take of 213,000. That doesn't come out to 40%. It closer to half that. Granted that hunting in Westchester and LI during regular season is with bow, and that some people hunt with bow during the gun season, but that still won't get you to anywhere near 40%. If bowhunters were so good in getting deer numbers down in the month and a half before gun season starts in the southern zone, the gun hunters wouldn't have nearly the success they do. The facts are that bowhunters alone would NEVER kill nearly the numbers that would be needed in many areas of the state.

Well, that completely changes the situation if he is only 15. Legally he can't own a gun yet. My suggestion would be to just hold the gun for him and don't transfer to him until he is 18 if he doesn't live with you or have someone with firearms experience in his household. You can still let him shoot it when you are with him hunting or at a range.

Yes, the blade is on the wrong way, but I still can't figure out why everything is popping out on you? You still haven't described how the plate and blade get held into the grinder? Does that retaining piece get screwed on? If it does I can't understand why the plate and blade pop out, because it shouldn't no matter if the blade is on right or backwards.

That's exactly what I was going to say. Never saw a machine without a screw on plate and blade retainer. Crappy are you sure you have installed that properly? I've had an inexpensive Cabelas grinder for a bunch of years now and it does the job without issue. No need to buy a $300 machine if you only use it for a deer or two a year and occasionally for other meat in my opinion.

The one and only.

Sorry for your loss. That's incredible! To live to be 106!! I see people everyday who are broken down in their 40's and 50's(many from of their own self abuse), and he lives to be 106. That is quite an accomplishment!! He definitely did something right.

Maybe we'd get your shoe in our face and see parts of you that we'd rather not, but it still wouldn't be as bad as taking a bullet!!

I've seen plenty of people walking on to hunt public land during GUN season in full camo without a stitch of orange on them. They trust their fellow man a hell of a lot more than I do, that's for darned sure!

If he has the tags for them, he can kill any damned sized deer he wants quite honestly. If you don't like it, that's your problem not his. Some of you clowns really do have a set of nads knocking someone for killing a deer that he has every right to kill if he so desires. He, myself and others may suck as hunters, but at least we don't suck as much as some of you clowns who have no class or character.
