That's not even close to being true. It's your call. I was just giving you a heads up.
-
I wouldn't advertise on the internet that you're doing that. You could face liability should someone get hurt, private property or not.
-
You would be surprised how little the deer care if they're used to it. A place I used to hunt in Albany county had a lot of joggers and dog walkers. The deer weren't bothered at all since they saw it every day.

Not an 1100, but my 870 loves Remington Accutips.

Have you ever accidentally shot something?
Caveman replied to ATbuckhunter's topic in General Chit Chat
Shooting in my basement. Put my block target on the old couch down there. Let one go and saw that it was buried to the fletching. Looked around behind the target and it had buried about 3 inches into the couch. Whoops. -
I've always found that driving along the southern tier is beautiful, while driving any distance on 90 is far and away the most boring commute one can make.

I'm not big on scent killers, but I will use cover scents. Typically, I'll put my hunting clothes in a Rubbermaid contained with cut pine boughs and dirt. Then let it soak in for a few weeks and hunt. The deer I shot last year was shot from the ground 12 feet away so I couldn't have stunk like human too bad.

Whatever is on clearance at Dick's when the season is over.

How Many 5.5 Year Old Bucks Have You Killed? (and older)
Caveman replied to Lawdwaz's topic in Deer Hunting
None. Only killed 3 deer so far and the oldest was 2.5 -
How do you dispose of coyote carcasses?
Caveman replied to Curmudgeon's topic in Small Game and Predator Hunting
And this is why I hunt with copper solids. -
I use Barnes Vor-tx in my .308. I made the switch to all copper last year. I don't want my wife to be eating lead-laden meat in her peak child-bearing years. It groups well and both deer I have seen shot with it dropped in their tracks. Neither one took a step.

It's only worth about 50 bucks. I'll give you 100 because I just happened to be in the market and I'm feeling generous.

You can buy a decent floor jack and jack stands at Harbor Freight for about $150. Pays for itself in 9000-15000 miles at that rate. I also used to make it a point to tell them no to an air filter before they even got under the car. More than once I've intervened to stop them from taking advantage of an old lady in the waiting room who believed them that her air filter was dirty and agreed to pay $42 for a new one.

Toilet paper. You only need to forget it once to never want to forget it again.
-
We are seeing fewer and fewer deer where I hunt--especially the last 5 years or so. If someone draws a DMP, which is unlikely, we ask that it be filled somewhere else. The short answer to your question for me is "c. None of the above"
-
Saw that the other day. I'm the "blind napper" only because they didn't include a "can't find my stand Sam." My group also has a rage monster and a buy it all bob.

I thought the purpose of all the tarps was to protect the bed rug?

Six posts on this site, and that's how you want to start treating forum members? It wouldn't have been my choice, but I'm interested to see how it works out for you.

This is contributing to the thread derailment, but studies have consistently shown that consistency of punishment is far more effective at reducing crime than severity of punishment. In other words, if you want less poachers, more calls to the tip lines and more boots on the ground enforcing the regs would be far more effective than a lifetime ban for insignificant infractions.

You're asking for access to land on a forum where everyone wants access to land. You're essentially trying to buy from the buyers. My advice is suck it up and hunt public land this year. Then get out in May/June and start knocking on doors for next season. Even then, it will take a fair amount of luck. Be mindful of how you present yourself and play the numbers game, i.e. knock on a lot of doors. Good luck this season.

Rule #1: Be able to take a joke. That's it.

I have an unfortunate tendency to buy things and just never sell them, so I can't offer much personal experience as a seller. But, I do have friends who have sold on gunbroker and been very happy. I can tell you that as a buyer I go on armslist and gunbroker most frequently. I also just bought a rifle from the classified section of this forum, so don't forget that option.
-
I haven't even attempted to hunt yet. I'm getting married on Saturday so I haven't had a whole lot of free time the past few weeks between that and work. I just keep telling myself it's good that I couldn't hunt because I wouldn't have been able to shoot a buck anyway.

When I make chili, I use a 1:1 ratio of sausage and cubed steak for my meat. I think the variation in texture does something for it. I would use your favorite venison chili recipe and add 1 lb of bear sausage and 1 lb of venison steak (if you have it)for your meat. Kind of a wildgame chili medley, if you will.

Congrats, Grow. Any sage advice on a successful marriage for the young bucks here?
