Yah, you were the one who started the thread and just happened to mention how great things would be if NY became a big buck state. LOL

Jealous of what? Your mullet? I will congratulate ANY hunter who kills the dinkiest of free ranging deer before I will congratulate anyone who kills a freak buck in a pen. And so will a hell of a lot of other hunters, no matter what YOU think. You want to make hunting an exclusive pastime only for those willing and able to cough up big money, while everyone else has to be "$#!+ out of luck". Sorry, but this type of attitude I sure as hell ain't jealous of!

Exactly. This should immediately discount anything he says about the topic of antler restrictions, herd health, or overall hunter satisfaction in the state. What he says and wants to see serves only him and he could give a crap about anything else.

You have some of the most convoluted, and self serving ideas that I have ever read on ANY forum. You want to make NY a big buck state, where all the land is leased up for big money. And you think this will be great for the state? How in hell would this benefit 97% of us who are already hunting in this state?? I have no issues with paying someone for the use of their land if it's within reason, but we all know where the prices go when an area becomes synonymous with trophy hunting?? The majority of us would then have only state land to hunt with swarms of hunters on it, while people like you would be laughing all the way to the bank. Now with all this, we are supposed give credibility to what you constantly try to tell us around here, right?? You are sooo full of it (and yourself), that it isn't even funny. The few "trophy" hunters that would be hunting in your scenario would NOT make up for all the lost hunters who would no longer be hunting in this state. That's only a figment of your imagination and what YOU would like to see happen.

That's for sure! First thing I noticed is that he stated that he recently moved to Suffolk county Long Island from another state, so how did he get a pistol license so quickly? He did say that his insomnia was triggered by his recent move, so one would assume that the move occurred very recently. On the link in the article to the court filings they state that he had a pistol license for 9 years. They didn't state where this pistol license was from, but I would think only a license issued in NYS would be of importance in a case filed against NYS, would it not?? If he moved to NYS only recently, then how could he have a pistol license for 9 years in NYS? Also, would there be a reason that he would file this case in Rochester, since he resides in Suffolk county?? Maybe there is a reason for this, but this also seems strange to me.

Could you imagine if Mario got appointed to the supreme court and served alongside Scalia?? Man, two Italians from different sides of the political spectrum on the same bench!! It would have been dangerous to be in a room with them. You could have lost an eye or something if you were close enough to them with all the hand gesturing those two would be doing while arguing with each other!! Mannaggia!! LOL

I have always held that a .270 or .30-06 without question are still the BEST choices of all when it comes to buying a deer rifle. They carry plenty of punch and lots of ammo available for them, and you can find something in these calibers in any sporting goods store that carries ammo. These days there has been a shortage of .308's and the 7MM-08 is still not nearly as popular, nor are there as many ammo choices for it like the .270 or .30-06.

You can't go wrong for that price. .270 was a MUCH better choice than the .243. Why go with a low end caliber when you can get a more potent one for the same price? People can argue until they are blue in the face that a .243 is great, but as is the case with any controversy, there are usually good reasons for it being controversial. I much rather stick with a caliber where there AREN'T any arguments about it being effective for deer. You have that with the .270 for sure!

She was topless because her boobs were floatation devices that the other guys grasped on to save themselves, while you went under with the ship. LOL

The rifle is fine, the caliber is too light for a beginner. .270, .30-06, .308, 7mm-08 MUCH better. As previous poster stated, there will be little need for an upgrade in the future with one of these.

Pygmy, I think there are a few lonely hunters on this forum that would let themselves get shot by some cheap rusted out clunker gun, to get one virgin, let alone 40. Come to think of it they'd probably let themselves get shot for only a kiss from a floozy that didn't have any teeth!! LOL

Jeez, that groundhog deserves nothing less than 40 virgins in groundhog heaven after letting himself get shot by such an expensive rifle/scope combination!! LOL

And what do you think I am lacking? Money?? I am quite comfortable, thank you. I know that I sure as hell won't be giving any of it to you for those pen raised deer, though. I can find better ways to spend it. LOL

OK, then Four Seasons is the man you need to talk to for advice. Of course he'll probably charge you for the advice, but what would you expect? He always says that hunting is all about the MONEY. Hopefully he can throw in some advice on mullet care for free.

I would agree that since the problem with Pygmy's gun is windage adjustments, I don't think the shim solution would work for him. I think newer scopes have more adjustments than old ones, so a new scope might solve things without needing to swap the mounts. Unfortunately there will be some trial and error before a problem like this gets squared away.

Factory holes can be drilled incorrectly, too. That's the case with a spare rifle I have. The quickest fix for me without swapping mounts or scopes was a thin shim between one of the scope rings and the scope. Not a perfect solution, but it works, and the scope has held it's zero for years nonetheless.

Not necessarily. The scope mounting screw holes on the action may have never been drilled correctly.

The worlds last remaining fixed 4 power scopes are welded to Pygmy's rifles and they ain't coming off for anyone! LOL

I would have figured you'd want to buy a deer farm and grow a mullet like one of your forum heroes? LOL

Different mounts might work, but that's an expensive proposition and may or may not do the trick. If the scope was shooting high or low, then a shim could do the trick. I've had to do this with one of my rifles and never had a problem afterwards. Don't know how effective this would be for your situation, however. Probably not too easy to shim it on the side of the scope.

For all the goody-two-shoe hunters on the forum, maybe the crime could be killing a deer after legal hours?? LOL

Biz, I noticed that there is always a big smile on your face when you post pictures. Is that because you are generally a happy guy, or you are showing off your teeth to the hunters who don't have any??

I bet a company like Realtree would love it if hunters got into manicures and pedicures. They could sell branded nail polish in all their camo patterns and make even more money!

I wouldn't disagree with you here, but how many of these guys go hunting like us? Not very many. These manicure guys are more of the city slicker type who participate in sports that are more in vogue with hip culture than hunting will ever be. Hell, many hunters I've come across don't even have teeth, so I highly doubt they are worried about their toenails looking nice and pretty! LOL
