[NYS gun laws in action]

I’m not a handgun guy, right up front, no expert…..

But I’d guess off the top of my head it exceeds the weight for a semi automatic. 50oz unloaded.

You cant own a 50 Desert Eagle and although it looks like any other semi auto, it weighs too much.

Be interested to hear others thoughts?

[Luna and Kunox Tracking Journal 2022]

Crazy story.

Hunted with all kinds of guides, including a couple that regular follow large wounded dangerous game; and their biggest apprehension from guiding is the hunter behind them with a loaded weapon. 

 

Enjoy the posts, lot to be learned from them. 

Stay safe.

[The queen speaks today about gun safety...]

She fell into that same logic used before…..I don’t need to know why crime is up, just make more proclamations that she’s fighting it.

The first couple minutes sounds like a campaign speech of how awesome she is. And that stated how she was fixing the bail law…..ya, the one you supported weakening. Let’s see, scum bags doing crime again when they get out the same day, who’d a thunk it?

The rest was about red flag laws….

I think that Quinnipiac poll that has Zeldin closing the gap has got them pretty panicked. 

 

Another school shooting today, 2 dead, its so common now it will barely make the news.

[Anyone shoot a CVA wolf?]

Shot quite a few deer with the great plains lead conicals, hunted for years with rem 700 inline in 45. They do fine, and are very accurate for my gun. Frankly not a Hornady anything fan, and its just about the only thing i have on the shelf that i would continue to use other than some 20ga sst for the savage 220. I wouldnt shy away.

 

Waterjug testing is not a good way to assess pullet performance but it looks cool i guess.

How you like that GR86? I waffled on one this year. 

2 thumbs up.

Good fun for money. 

It ain’t stupid fast, but it handles just like a rear wheel drive platform should. Easy cheap fun to zip around in and where I am there are just endless twisty back roads between NY and CT.

Put it on the track for a day, had a ball. Its very forgiving.

Walked into it. Was looking for a new toy and wanting to trade in a Transit van I no longer wanted and a customer bailed on the order. Got an email from dealer it was going to be delivered in 2 weeks at 3:30 in the afternoon, and by 5:30 had all the paperwork done the same day. Even knocked a few bucks off sticker! 

I was thinking a GTI but at near $40K,eh, and VW is just a mess for supply chain. Nissan Z was more then I wanted to spend.

Now what I want is a GR Corolla…..300hp for a 3 cyl and less curb weight then the GR86. Talk about ‘rice burner’….ZOOM!

Every dude has his thing. Some it's cars, snowmobiles, hunting, fishing, sports etc. And everyone spends money towards it.

There is always someone higher in the food chain money wise too.

What I don’t get is the bemoaning about how someone spends their money on a hobby with that under  current of ‘i can do it cheaper or with less’

Have had a bunch of hobbies, spent the most on hunting and some fishing.

I’d dearly love a Ferrari, but having fun with the porsche and GR86 and still afford to tinker with them. And its fine by me if someone can afford one or more ‘exotics’.

Remember the old Thrush Mufflers ?

First car was an 73 Olds Cutlass with a 350 in it. Got the Hooker headers, Edlebrock intake with twin Holley 4 bbls, Thrush muffler.

And you could watch the gas gauge move when you stomped on it.

Fun times.

Wow shocked it happened there. Grew up in Bellspond and West Taghkanic area when I was young and now you hear nothing but things in Hudson never in the country. Sorry and hope they find out you did it so it doesn't happen again 

I work all over N. Dutchess, Ulster,Greene,Columbia counties. There are trashy spots all over. Contractor I used to work for had been parking his truck on a job, and someone clipped him too. No doubt seeing the truck parked on a regular basis. Closer to Craryville/Hillsdale.

(I’m doing a kitchen end of the year a few minutes from Bellspond, lots of work that area)

Were in old Chatham about 25 min north of Hudson, and probably 15min from claverack. We're in Columbia county, but only a few minutes from Rensselaer county.  

I work about as far north as Chatham; I’d rather work north of home then south in general.

They don't come upstate very often, and it's a quiet rd. Not sure when, but some scumbag cut the catalytic converter out of it.  

I would think Hudson would be a more likely source then downstate.

But back in July they arrested 8 in a ring for Columbia county, most of them in Claverack.

 

I should add they all had drugs, and our stellar court system released all but one on appearance tickets.

Not sure what you're getting at.  If you're referencing the fact that I don't add anything to the canned meat jars I didn't say there was anything wrong with it, I choose not to.

Sausage has nothing to do with the canning.

“Also, all the BS sausage, snack sticks, hotdogs, jerky etc is for the folks that aren't too keen on venison.  YMMV“

Nothing goes into the jar when I do it.  A friend sticks some garlic in, I'll add that when I cook it.

My favorite way to cook it is in a cast iron skillet; saute'd with onion, garlic and red wine.  After a enough wine, the meat break down into small shredded pieces with a excellent flavor.  Meanwhile, some scratch (who would use instant?) mashed potatoes have been made and some beef gravy too.  I plop some potatoes in the middle of the plate, then meat and some gravy.  To top it off, some frozen or fresh corn off the cob.  Makes it like a Shepard's Pie.  Knock your socks off..........

I don't can every year and sometimes I'll skip a couple years, I'm due this year.

So seasoning and adding flavors in the pan and dumping gravy from beef= OK

But pre seasoning meat like sausage= BAD

Got it.

In Massachusetts, I could not buy ammo today.Need a license to possess any ammo in the state.

You’d find the same in CT. I cant buy loaded ammo at Hartford Cabelas; but last time I was in there about 6 weeks ago bought powder, primers, and bullets. They actually had some.

Walking around a Cabelas in Minneapolis Minnesota. So far the ride has been a good one. Chicago sucked but not as bad as i expected. Very smooth sailing since.

I don’t know where your route will take you or if you’ll have time; but Scheels is a decent outdoor store and so is Linton Outdoors, they are in Idaho.(Linton caters to backpack hunters, with lots of good equipment)

[22LR rifle accuracy and range?]

My 452 American likes that 22lr Wolf Match the best also.

I haven’t seen any in forever.

[22LR rifle accuracy and range?]

I missed a squirrel this morning, so I just shot this group at 60yds. Happen to have a 6x6 laying at that distance……thats about as far as I can see around me, so seemed good.

Have never missed with this gun, so I took one shot and its way right. Then it hit me; forgot I shot up some ammo last year and left one magazine loaded with some Remington can stuff. It didnt shoot well in any of my 22’s.

So the shot on the right is last Remington and the other 4 are CCI Standard Velocity all lead, one inch target. This 22 is a CZ 452 trainer, leupold vxlll 1.5-5 scope; fairly noted on the web that this  gun does well with CCI SV in general. Interesting my 452 full stock shoots ridiculous small groups with same ammo; but my 452 American does not.

Hunting tripod front rest, just sitting on the ground. Decent enough for hunting/plinking, on a proper bench will do better.

Good luck with your trip.

[Do you guys use a headlamp]

Fwiw, a red light has nothing to do with trying to fool a deer. Its easier on your eyes and allows your pupils to stay adjusted to the dark. You retain more night vision across your field of view.

On an led, it also extends battery life as red and blue require less then full spectrum white.
