  1. A pump 35 whelen carbine as a target gun haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. 2 for 500? 2@500 come and get them! A gun shop in Albany I don't remember the name I'll ask my brother in the morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Jesus! I saw one local yesterday for 239$ in pretty decent shape and that's more than I payed for any of mine. If I didn't have 4 I would have bought it. I'm an hr north of Albany if you want one of them for 500$ come and get it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. No they did another random questionnaire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Why can't NY just have a pole. When you buy a license have a card with a few hot topic questions XBows,AR's etc everyone getting their license fills out the card and the retailer mails them all back in and the DEC uses those numbers for the next season. This would basically eliminate the arguments for or against, let's let majority rule. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. You just couldn't make this stuff up! This must be the same guy that thinks close shots with a gun are because the bullets are going too fast to expand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I don't know if they still make them but #6 Remington high velocity 3" is all I ever used in my 20ga and it shoots them amazing! These aren't turkey loads they were a game load as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I love deals like that! I seem to be more of a keeper than a seller but if I'm buying something I don't "need" it's for cheap enough that I can make money if I ever needed to. I always laugh when I see the saying "I hope my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I payed for them" I just hope she doesn't sell them for what I payed for them!

  9. If you think it's worth 500$ in that condition I'll sell you 2 of them today! And the 2 I'll sell you still have the original butt plate. Hell for that price I may deliver and pay transfer fees. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I haven't walked around anything, my point is after their first hunting season with horns bucks become increasingly harder to kill if they make it. If AR's are put in place more bucks that are 2 1/2+ will be killed but at a smaller percentage than 1 1/2 old bucks are currently this will increase the number of mature bucks. Archery kills make up such a small percentage of the total buck harvest and will continue to until guns are taken out of the rut. Once again I am still not for a AR's but I am for a restructure of our seasons. Shorten gun seasons and take them out of the rut and a 1 buck rule would make a way bigger difference than AR's would. Me personally I have been pretty successful at killing mature bucks with the current seasons and enjoy the challenge. I don't need AR's for personal reasons but I can see where they could help some areas. I still think AR's are a bandaid on a proverbial bullet hole. The only way I will ever be for AR's is if we can compromise give me 30minutes before and after sunset and I'll give in to AR's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. If you pay 100$ for the 35rem I know where you can double your money! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I will it's on the way. I use a tenzing upland vest for gun season and I love it and the quality is second to none, if the turkey vest is the same quality it should last a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Until guns are taken out of the rut archery kill numbers will never come close to gun numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. If you think mature are as easy to kill as a year and a half old buck than there is no reason for anyone to answer your question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Now you're hooked! Last year I shot one of the biggest bucks in my life and it is tied with the most exciting moment of my season the other was opening day of northern zone gun when I got on a decent track on dry ground and tracked a decent "probably 2yr old 7pt to his bed. Tracking on dry ground has been something I have been working on for a long time and this was my first successful track! The only other advice I can give you is if this is how you're going to hunt start shooting now, I'm not talking from a bench I'm talking practice what your shots will be close, fast and freehand. The way I do this is with gallery loads with my 35's I use 35cal pistol bullets loaded to 1500fps. I have steel targets in the back yard from 15-100yds. I shoot my deer rifles at least once a week. I don't know how many times I have ruined a good track because I missed or wasn't able to get a shot off fast enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. The vests fit pretty well but the pockets hung of the front and felt "floppy." I tried everyone they had there and didn't love any of them. I think I'm going to drop the coin on the tenzing and be done, optics planet has free returns if I end up not liking it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. When did I say it didn't work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. That's my question tho if you have that pattern at 65yds are people really shooting birds that far? My furthest shot on a turkey was 27yds and that was with a bow. I don't think I have shot one at farther than 20 with a shotgun. I know turkeys aren't hard to kill, I've killed them with game loads in the fall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I have 4 different tractors right now, JD4020 90hp, Farmal 560 55hp "toy", JD 70diesel 45hp "toy" and a JD 1070 4wd 35hp. The 1070 gets 95% of the hours just because it's the handiest. The 4020 does all the plowing/ disking in the spring then has weeds growing around it. The Farmal and the 70 are just toys that I pull at the fair and play around with. For playing around with food plots cleaning a driveway and other yard work it's hard to beat a 35hp 4wd tractor with a bucket. That being said the newer tractors are on smaller lighter frames. I know when I was thinking about a new tractor I was going to need to be in a 45-50hp tractor to equal what mine is. My cousin lives next door and he has a new 40hp kubota hydro and he and I both a agree that it's not near the tractor mine is but its a lot nicer to run. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I was at cabelas the other day and didn't like the pockets on any of them. Especially the tactical one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. "And in terms of the food plot vs. the food pile or mechanical feeder, I don't think there is a hunter around (especially bow hunters) that doesn't understand the difference if they are to be honest. There really is no need to repeat all the differences that have already been noted. They are all pretty obvious anyway." Having hunted over food plots/corn piles and feeders I will tell you from my experience there is absolutely not a bit of difference between them other than some moron in Albany deciding what one is legal. You are changing a deers natural habits to make it "easier" to kill them. If you know what you are doing when making a food plot using fence and/or trees you can make a deer travel as close to your stand as you want, no different than a bait pile. Want deer to be within 20yds of your stand in your corn field? Mow the corn that's within 20yds of your stand. This stuff isn't rocket science! That being said you can bait deer with a feeder, with a pile of corn or bait them with a clover plot you still have to get a deer you want to kill to come to them in daylight within range. All hunting shows make what they are doing look easy. It's not hard to get 5 minutes worth of deer footage during a 7 day hunt. To the ignorant viewer who sees a buck come to a feeder and get shot during the 5 minutes of hunting I can see how you would think wow that's too easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Before you get too far into this let me give you a little advice. I couldn't live 1 day without a tractor. I use mine 4 or 5 times a weeks and couldn't imagine not having them. My grandfather had a construction/excavating company and I have been running equipment since I could walk. A 25hp tractor with a hoe is right on the edge of being useless, and yes I have ran them more than I wanted to. They lack power and weight to do any real digging and are honestly are not much faster than a shovel. On the side job thing, let's say you want to put a bid in on a Drainage job and someone else places a bid with a mini trac hoe and a skid steer/tractor. His bid will likely be half of yours because he can do the job in half the time or faster. A tractor of that size with a hoe is just not good enough at much of anything to try to do it as a side job. For a homeowner they are handy because efficiency isn't important just not as a business when time is money. I know many do it but I couldn't imagine having a payment on any toy, yes a tractor is a toy. My vote rent a mini excavator with a blade and do your job, if you want a tractor for food plots/ trail clearing find an old 8/9n or similar for 2/3k with some implements and have fun with it.

  23. Having hunted south Texas "where most of the shows showing feeders are filmed" I can honestly say I don't think a deer could survive there without them, and that makes a big difference when the feed is their main food source as to a snack. To answer your question on how they do it on the fake tv shows I will say I honestly don't know. Probably the same way lee and Tiffany can get 4 or 5 Boone and Crocket bucks to step out in their 10 acre bean fields 2hrs before dark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Having almost only bow hunted turkeys for the last 7 or 8 years I haven't paid much attention to the new stuff, I tried the long ears XR's when they came out and they shot too tight of a group at 20yds for me. I'm getting a shotgun together for my brother 12ga 870 supermag Carlos choke. I can't believe the pattern at 50yds! I have always had a limit of 20yds and have used 2 3/4 #4's with a full choke for as long as I've hunted turkeys. With this new technology what is your guys max range? I have been trying to decide if I wanted to post this question because I'm sure I know what it will turn into but my curiosity is killing me? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
