The other thread discussed whether hunting land is a good or bad investment. I wonder what people would think about this chunk of land? LOL I don't think there is a hunter alive who would pay this kind of money for 67 acres. Your only bet will be to sell it to some sort of developer who would convert it to housing or something else. Hunters or hunting clubs wouldn't spend this kind of loot for only 67 acres. Good luck with the sale, you will need it.

Glad you didn't say Aaron Judge was up!

You said that he doesn't hunt as often as you, so maybe you can bring the dog when he isn't there and leave him at home when he does hunt? I think this would be a simple enough solution. In a partnership, marriage or any relationship one has to make compromises or else they won't last long. You can't always have it your way.

That's a beauty!! Whatever you do don't let Buckmaster borrow it. He'll circumsize the barrel to 16 inches for sure!! LOL o O

Not quite! It's a Mosin Nagant.LOL. I got it at Cabelas in PA for $25 after my Cabelas points. Couldn't resist getting it. Shoots better than I expected. Would not think twice hunting with it if I had nothing else. Could always finish the deer off with the bayonet and not have to waste a round!!

I don't know if it's sentiment or the knowledge that a newer gun won't kill them any deader, but I've used the same gun since 1985 when I bought it. A Remington 700 BDL in .270 with Leupold 3-9 VX II. I've used more expensive ammo in the past, but have gone back to standard Federal Power Shock 130 grain which in my experience seems to work just as good as anything else.

Life itself goes by quick!

I'm getting the feeling that you and Nomad might be light in your loafers. LOL

LOL!! You and Doe are killing me! Where is Belo to defend his right to own lots of shoes?? LOL

Mayweather shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as some of the great fighters from the past. Here's one of the greatest fights of the 70's. George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle. The real pounding begins after 14:00. I know these guys are heavyweights, but I'd just like to see Mayweather face a slugger of their caliber. They'd have to remove him from the arena by ambulance. I consider Foreman maybe the greatest fighter of all time. Maybe he didn't hold a title as long as some others, but he was able to come back years later and still have incredible power and stamina and even win back a title. Plus, all the others like Ali, Frazier, Norton, Lyle, Quarry are long dead while Foreman is alive and well and still has all his sensibilities.

Thank you, you've nailed it right there!

A lease for hunting land is NOTHING like renting an apartment. You are simply paying some money for a recreation you want to participate in. You wouldn't be living on it like you would be doing in an apartment. Once you don't want the lease, you simply don't renew it. Case closed and no headaches unlike land that you would now have to try to sell if you owned it. For myself any hunting land I'd purchase would be at least 2 or 3 hours drive from where I live. My wife would surely not be interested in going to it more than once or twice a year, and with school and other activities the kids would probably not be able to go more than that either. So for whom would I be purchasing this land for?? Just myself for the few trips a year I'd go hunting? Would make absolutely NO sense, and quite honestly be a bit selfish. Kids grow up fast, and I think it would be more beneficial to them and the whole family to be closer to them at this stage of life then me killing weekends by going upstate all by myself to check out the land. That's my take on it anyway.

You might make some money with property, but without a doubt it will be a much bigger headache than most other ways one can invest their money!

I am with BIz on this one. Unless you are going to live on it or your whole family will enjoy spending time on it, purchasing land just to hunt on is a poor investment. Most especially if you need to finance it. Don't forget the taxes you will be paying and will never get back. Leases I'd go for, but purchasing now way. I had a chance to purchase some land a few years back in the Catskill region. Sure glad I didn't. The region now has antler restrictions in effect, plus doe permits are getting harder and harder to get there. Would have become a big waste of time, money and energy.

CNN would continuously harp on the right-wing losers, while FOX news would harp on the left-wing losers. That's how it usually works.

If you bring the head out along with the meat there is absolutely nothing you would need to worry about. I was stopped once at a road block by the DEC and had a box full of cut up meat and the head of a doe in bag laying on top of it with the proper tag filled out. The DEC had no issue with the way I was transporting it. There is no need to cut off the deers genitals because it will solve nothing. You can kill a deer with antlers and you'd need to put a buck tag on it, yet the genitals could be of a doe and the DEC would not have any issue against you since the deer is properly tagged as an antlered deer. So yanking off the genitals serves no purpose.

Wow, I can see the moon now!!

So why would you be so terrified to send your daughters away to college as you stated in an earlier post? That is sort of my point. I don't discriminate between the sexes of my kids. I think the sooner a young person has their head screwed on straight the better, so living at home might help them focus more on getting thru school than going wild while away at a college. Both me an my wife lived at home while going to college, and we hope our kids would do the same, especially since there are many good schools not too far away, but I guess the ultimate decision will be theirs.

LOL, you are outnumbered and majority rules. Then again, you could have 7 sons and no daughters, but the wife could still override everyone with her veto power!! LOL

Good luck to her, Burt! My kids are not yet of college age, but I sure hope they don't decide to go away to school. Lots of good schools close by down here. I didn't go away for college, and I am glad I didn't, so my hope is that they choose the same, but who knows?

No doubt the court picks are important. It seems like all lower courts are filled with nothing but liberal judges. I wish the Supreme Court would take on even more cases to settle things once and for all, but unfortunately they only take a few. Even the ones they should hear they don't for one reason or another which doesn't always make sense.

It would make their heads explode alright. The problem is could Trump ever contain himself and do what you suggest? From what I see, he's one old dog that cannot be taught any new tricks. You'd practically have to hogtie him and drug him to get him to do something different than he is used to doing. It would almost be miraculous if he ever changed his ways. Trump being Trump has obviously worked for him thus far in his life, but I just don't know how much more of this Americans will be able to take? Especially if he just continues his childishness and gets nothing accomplished. It seems like it's worse than ever in the House and Senate. Nothing is being proposed or passed. All eyes of America are just glued on Trumps antics. All he needs is some circus music in the background and he's got the complete package.

I agreed with Trump when he said that today they will tear down Robert E Lee's statue and tomorrow they will go after Jefferson and Washington. The liberal media wants to rewrite history the way they want it written so they are fanning the flames to this nonsense. Their job is to blow everything out of proportion. They are making it sound like half of the population of the US are Nazi's which is BS. How many American Nazi's are in jails for crimes committed in comparison to blacks in the US? Of course no one will ever bring this up in the mainstream media. At the same time the Nazi's and others that were in Charleston supposedly to protest the tearing down of the statue surely won't win support of very many in the media or elsewhere by marching and yelling racial and anti-jewish statements like the video showed. I've always said that you can call just about anyone anything in this country, but make a negative comment about a jew, and you will never get away with it. The people on the other side who took it upon themselves to tear down the statues should definitely be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. No excuses for vandalizing public or private property. I don't blame Trump for letting the liberal media have it, but he doesn't help himself one bit by always acting like a childish baffoon, where he is more interested in winning a petty fight with someone than honestly addressing the issue at hand. I am honestly starting to think he won't get anything of any value accomplished in his term. He may get the far-right to think of him as the God Emperor, but I can assure everyone that he is slowly but surely digging a big hole for himself, one which he may not be able to pull himself out of. His bravado will wear off on many of those who voted for him if doesn't start to get things done. Yeah, yeah, I know it won't be long before someone here says, "Yeah, but he is still better than Hillary". I get that to a point, but in my mind two losers don't bring us a winner.

The problem is that people on this forum apparently don't want to tell this to him directly, so he thinks he is loved and continues the nonsense. The moderators obviously won't do anything about him, so the next best solution is to keep sending him posts like the one you made above. I doubt he'll get the picture, but this should NOT stop us from sending him OUR love! +100 to your post!!

How bad can the kick from an '06 be thru a semi-auto?? Man, it seems like this was a costly lesson for you. Spending $1600 on a rifle and scope only to want to sell it after 12 rounds!!
