  1. Yup but they are finicky don't like to run in cold weather require gas and very frequent oil changes. All around gas kickers are pains in the butt. An electric would be perfect but technology just isn't there yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I don't care about an electric car what I want is an outboard motor that doesn't need 3 100lb batteries that will push my boat at 2mph for 10 or 12hrs. When someone comes up with one I will own one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I buy feed oats by the 50lb bag for next to nothing and spread them thick usually late March early April. I disked my oat plots yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Have no fear in me using a power belt anything! Been there tried that and won't ever have them around again! I'm hoping the regular old Great Plains will shoot well enough for my likings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. As would I, I guess I can't say I don't care but it's certainly not my priority. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. coumo just announced a big tax rebate on electric cars. Clearly he has some financial ties to them. Why else would he want fellow tax payers to pay for a portion of someone else's car? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. The intent isn't getting them to 2 1/2 the intent is to get them to maturity, there isn't a way to regulate "god I hate that word" not to shoot a 100" 2 1/2yr old 8. That being said giving most bucks a chance to make it through their first hunting season gives them a chance to make it to maturity. I am always asked if I think all the fish that I release will make it and I don't have a clue but I know they have a 100% better chance at survival in the lake than they do in my cooler. Once again I hate AR's I want everyone to shoot what ever they legally want and I'll do the same. I just don't agree with your arguments against them. Shoot what makes you happy that's what hunting is all about. I have and will again if given the opportunity shoot a half rack buck. I have said on here many times before I couldn't care less about racks I like shooting heavy deer. 200lb is always my goal, don't care if they are a spike or a 16pt I just want the scale over 200lb. I have yet to see an immature NY deer weigh 200lbs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. 1in48 I really hope she'll shoot conicals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I wish I had your age structure on our farm! Even my lease in Ohio we average 6-1 yearlings-2 1/2+. As I said before I HATE mandatory AR's but I do believe that they add age to the male deer herd. There will always be freaks, around my house I have shot two 200lb deer one was a 6 and the other was a 5 the 6 was 4 1/2 and the 5 was 6 1/2+. They are not the norm although it seems like our local bucks didn't have brow tines for a few years but it looks like that is going away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I'm assuming I'm "buckminster"? What again am I wrong about? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I fail to see your point? Yes those 2 1/2 yr old bucks would be legal but I'm willing to bet that you just like me have 10+ 1 1/2yr old buck pictures to every 1 of the 2 1/2yr olds. I am against any mandated AR but there is no doubt that they do save a majority of yr and a half old bucks. In my opinion once a buck reaches its 2nd year it has learned a bunch on how to stay alive and has a much better chance of making to to maturity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I had a couple of copperheads join me in a blind while hunting in NC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I think it's a location thing. I work in a mill with a couple hundred guys with a lot of hunters and I would say that over half try to fill others tags or don't tag at all. I think most of his has to do with our area most own some land or have relatives that do. It's a lot easier for them to get away with it without having to haul the deer or bring them to a butcher. I have yet to talk to someone at work that reports their tags other than me. Me personally I don't care about the tag issue there is still plenty of deer what bothers me is them not being reported. I would love to see NY figure out a way to crack down on it but I'm not sure how we could do it without a huge cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Sounds like fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. What are ya building? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I know other states do this, having hunted Maine for a few years I know that the registration is a joke, at least in northern Maine where we were. The joke among locals were that "they only registered the big ones." The fact is that people would still use others tags and not register them just as they do now. The only thing it might help is the data but just as happens in Maine who would want to check in a spike horn? So the smaller bucks are the most likely to not be registered skewing the very statistics they're after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. How do you guys carry those chairs? I always just have an old foam pad that hangs off my belt loop. It was too long for my liking so I cut it almost in half, just enough to keep my butt dry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Why can't they go in the living room? That's where mine are and they won't be going anywhere else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Beautiful job and beautiful NY bucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. NY is too big of a state to have mandatory check stations. Not to mention who will pay to man them? Who is willing to drive 20 or 30 miles one way to check in a deer? I know I'm not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. The point I'm trying to make is NZ regular season take is nothing like SZ. Our gun seasons are 4 weeks longer and our takes are spread out more. Although I don't use a butcher I have been to them plenty of times and most northern zone butchers don't have more than a few deer in them at a time other than early muzzleloader because of antlerless/either sex tags. In the SZ someone can walk in Sunday afternoon of opening weekend and have a pretty good number of deer to evaluate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I have heard of this before as well but if this is their only means of age estimation it would be such a small number that it can't be accurate. After all is that 8pt a 2yr old or 7? How would they know? Them checking butcher shops is such a small portion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I have saw these statistics before but I would still like to know how the state gets them. There is nothing other than points that you report when a buck is harvested. And we all know how terrible the harvest reports are in NY. If NY made the regular season 9 or 10 days in the Adirondacks after the rut I would sell my camp and buy one in another state.

  24. I can't find my face paint so I guess I'm going to have to get some more, other than that I think I'm all set to wack my wood chicken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
