maybe this can help , will be my first time too ..

loading up my own for the .270 win , hornady brass , serria gameking 130gr SPBT, IMR 4350 (52gn) , 2900 fps , 1 inch group at 100 yrds off the bench rest

synthetic stock or wood stock ? My moss 500AT is old and wood stock , i replace the butt pad with a nice 1 inch one and filled the butt stock mounting hole with lead shot .. WOW what a difference. now it don't kick like a mule and bruise your shoulder after 4 slugs. this gun has sat in the closet for 20 yrs because i hated the recoil ..

in the OP's post i seen nothing saying it was his .. just a agreement of the photo ..

I take the screw in tool hooks. pant them black , then i screw them to a 1x3 board a foot long. a few holes in the boards top and bottom then i can tie the whole thing to the tree with paracord ... no need to damage a tree ..

it sure does , I think the deer are all playing during the night when its cooler. Drove to my spot this morning , get on the rail road bed for a short drive to the farm field .. come around the corner and there are 4 deer on the rail bed running around in circles .. this was at 6:15am .. up a field they went , one doe stopped and waited for me to pass by the field opening to wave at me .. got to the field i can hunt and sat till 10:30am . only one doe passed up thru the pine trees behind me ... no shot .. didnt see anything else ...

ask the property owner if ok to hunt , then the 150 or 500 need not apply ..

My mossburg 500AT has iron sights on it , cyl bore barrel , 50 yrds its 2 inches high with slugs. I can toss a scope on it and dont any issues with going out to 100 yrds easy .. at the skeet range so for its a 24 out of 25 smashed clays .. with #8 shot

You should update to the new G10 Rotary phone , its very intelligent and never crashes. no updates needed also.

I love watching Bill Whittle's vids .. My question is what is a Illegal gun ? #1 you can build your gun and its legal per BATF #2 all manufactured guns pass BATF My opinion is all guns are legal .. its the ILLEGAL USE of them that should be slammed dunked lock up toss the key away ...

tons of good info here , My mossburg 500AT 12ga is prolly 30 years old and runs smoother then melted butter. got a 10 pt buck last year for first year of rifle in my county with a ww2 russian mosin nagant (profile photo) fun shooting rifle for 150 bucks and 13 bucks for silver bear ammo. 150 bucks for 440 rounds of mil surplus for it. just won a savage 270 rifle this yr and will be using that this season.

girlfriend or wife dressed up all sexy tree(pole) dancing , lol

How about walking and scouting the land your hunting on pre season then hunt all thru bow season and its just you and your cousin in the woods , then u show up on opening day for regular season and BAM!! you walk right up to two tree stands with hunters in them on the path to the field/woods that were never there prior .. dang right i'm going to stop and chew the fat for a bit .. LOL

Don't forget you need the muzzle loader tag for xbow

last yr bow hunting and see 2 does and a comming up the row on the far side of the field (250 yrds ) away so i let out a voice bleet , they stop look around ,, started moving up the row again so i did the voice bleet again , stop dead in there tracks and look , then they all proceed to come accross the field 100 yrds up on my left .. so i grab the antlers and gave a little rattle , pause 10 secs , rattle again all looking up to my left to see if there comming down to me , for some reasion i look to my right and fell off my stool just about , 6 to 8 pt buck on my right watching me 25 yrds away ... bout pooed the britches ..

I was just at the gun shop here that has a new owner and he was clueless that a 50yr old semi 22 rifle with a fold down forward grip had to be registered as a AW per Un-safe .. because the mag was detachable

modify hunting from vehicle, its one thing driving around with a gun out the window and another just parked in a corner of a field sitting on the tail gate with make shift blind around it.

limiting the age to 12 or 10 because of a few that win darwin awards i think is foolish there are many 5 to 7 that are smart and shouldn't be so called punished for a select few. Just like NY pistol laws , a youth can shoot a pistol ( insert age bracket ) at a range or event , but since I'm over 21 i not allowed to touch one with out a permit .. so stupid ...

been saying that all along , the hunting age should be up to the parent/s and we really don't need a special tag for them either.

i just rub some rail lube on the arrow shafts , they penetrate a little bit more but a breeze to pull out .. just relube when they starts getting hard to remove.

might have to stop in and grab some trees before Growalot gets them all

Recreational Liability When No Fee Is Charged Liability is a concern that all landowners face in arriving at a policy about recreational use of their property by others. What if a hunter, hiker, or another recreationist is injured on your property? Are you liable? The New York State Legislature was among the first in the nation to realize how much people depend upon the use of private property for outdoor recreation. To encourage landowners to keep their lands open to recreationists, legislation was passed in 1956 that limited the liability of landowners who allowed hunting, fishing, trapping, and training of dogs on their property when no fee is charged and the landowner receives no other consideration from the recreationist. In the succeeding years, numerous other recreation activities have been added to this list in General Obligations Law (GOL) 9-103: canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, bicycle riding, motorized vehicle operation for recreational purposes, snowmobile operation, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, sledding, hang gliding, speleological activities, boating, and the cutting or gathering of wood for noncommercial purposes. GOL 9-103 does not totally exclude the liability of landowners toward recreationists. Assuming no fee is charged, the statute states that the landowner owes no duty to keep the premises safe for entry or use by recreationists pursuing the listed activities, or to give warning of any hazardous condition, use of property, structure, or activity on the property to persons entering for recreation. It also states that farm owners or lessees have no duty to keep their farms safe for use by recreationists or to give warning of hazardous conditions or uses of the property. However, landowners are not protected if they intentionally harm a recreationist, or if they "willfully" or "maliciously" fail to guard against, or warn recreationists of, a danger on the property. Question: Can I be sued for natural situations or hazards, such as if a hunter trips over a rock or falls down a steep slope and is injured? Opinion: Anyone can be sued, but to be successfully sued if GOL 9-103 applies, the recreationist must prove that you (1) knew of a dangerous condition on your property, (2) realized the possibility of the recreationist encountering it, and (3) willfully or maliciously failed to eliminate or reduce the hazard or to warn the recreationist of it; and (4) he or she must show proof of actual loss or damage. Generally, previous courts have ruled that landowners have no duty to warn about naturally occurring, readily observable natural situations such as lakes, streams, or steep slopes. Question: Suppose there is a hazard on my property, such as an abandoned well or a fallen-in barn, that a recreationist might encounter. How can I protect myself against someone getting hurt and suing me? Opinion: 1. Do all you can to eliminate the hazard. Have the well filled in or the building torn down. the full text can be read here .. http://www2.dnr.cornell.edu/ext/info/pubs/LegalFinancial/liability_boundary_posting.htm
