Come on... I'm sure you have plenty of 50" bucks to submit

Ahhh I stand corrected sorry

Yeah I think we all know what you stand by.

There logo has changed a little since the early 1900's, but yes

You said nothing about opposing principals... This is what you said.. "Leave nothing but a giant mess for the incoming, incompetent clown president to clean up. Sabotaging the incoming fool would be a welcomed departing gift." Sometimes liberals have trouble remembering exactly what it was they were taking about... the rest of us are here to remind you... now back under the bridge with you!

I have a feeling that many older permit holder may not be attentive enough to realize they need to recertify and will have their permits revoked. I think we all know that is what this is about... it's a tricky gun grab scheme for those that don't pay attention.

I will be one. If they are giving me the opportunity I am going to take it. But, I am not naïve enough to believe the info still might not be there for all to see.

There is no fee... and they aren't sending out renewal forms so I'd check to make sure somebody isn't scamming you. You have to request a form from the website if you don't recertify online. No form of notification will be sent by the state to individuals.

Looks to be early 1900's based on the size of the parts... earlier models from 1873 were not as hefty... Intedge still is a manufacturer and distributor of kitchen type products... they probably bought the products wholesale from Butchers, mfg. back then and were selling them along with other kitchen products at the time.

NY STATE POLICE HAVE PUT UP THE PISTOL LICENSE RECERTIFICATION WEBSITE https://troopers.ny.gov/Firearms/

I hate those things... those two balls are much harder than the ones I carry around... any male who has ever tried this contraption knows exactly what I'm talking about!! OUCH!

There was a time when college just wasn't for everyone... either because of financial reasons, grades, or choice of occupation. Somewhere along the line people got the notion that every kid should go to college. Use to be if you couldn't afford it you didn't go. Now parents send their kids to college regardless of whether they can afford it or not. If you have your heart set on college it would be a good idea to save the money, get good grades and make sure you are going for a degree where you can actually find employment when it's all over. If you decide to borrow the money you must understand that it is an investment in YOUR future with a debt to be owed for that investment. The cost of your education is on you... If you can't afford it there are plenty of openings for electricians, carpenters, plumbers, heavy machinery operators etc... with payed, on the job, training if you want to work.

I am proud to say that I became the proud grandfather of two beautiful twin girls on Dec. 18, 2016... they were born 2 months early and they will have to spend some time in the hospital until they put on some weight, but they are doing well... and so another chapter in life begins.

Yeah makes sense to me to spotlight a deer from truck then wait for the perfect shot to kill it with a bow... then park the truck and get out to track an arrow hit deer with a flashlight as it runs farther from the vehicle for however long it takes to die... usually on posted property... then drag it un-gutted as fast as I can back to the truck... all before anyone comes by wondering what the truck is doing parked on the side of the road and why there is a guy with a flashlight dragging a deer in the dark on posted property. Think about this for a second until it sinks in... then you'll have no problem understanding why a gun is a much better choice for the idiot spotlighting and shooting deer. Unless you think I'm making up the part about maybe the poacher wanting to get things done and get out of Dodge as quickly as possible. Or did you mean I made the part up about the airplanes? Because that part is true.

The dew claws usually leave a mark slightly higher than the hoof print in the rear of the track... not always distinctly like a heavy buck butt visible none the less with most bigger bucks.

With my eyesight as of late I'm going with telescope..

The biggest reason would be that there are more gun related laws that can be broken. None of those weapons loaded themselves or asked to be present when the idiot made his decision to break the law. Do you blame the weapon for terrorist killings as well? Because that would make airplanes responsible for the largest mass killing in the US... you getting how silly your logic sounds yet?

If there were millions of coyotes in NY I would tend to agree, but 20-30,000 coyotes does not make for an epidemic. I agree with the topic of the thread, predators should be controlled... but anyone talking about complete eradication is speaking from a position of ignorance... and my point about those that enjoy hunting coyotes is still valid. Why are deer hunters more important than coyote hunters. Contrary to popular belief there are some who like coyote hunting better than deer hunting

I know of just as many "unsavory" bow and muzzleloader hunters... the weapon has little to do with anything... it can't pick the idiot that decides to use it in an unsavory manner.

Personally I don't get the aversion to using a crossbow in the archery season or any other season for that matter. Probably because I have no interest in the crossbow and it has no impact on my hunting what so ever. God forbid someone kills a deer during any season with a legal weapon... you could mess up someone's "hit list".

Fingers, no sights... I have never shot any archery equipment with a sight ever... I have no idea what it looks like to look through a sight from behind a bow.

If we eradicate the Coyote... won't the coyote hunters be all up in arms when there aren't any to hunt? What them? Eradicate what ever killed the coyotes?

I have thought about this a lot and believe that as people get more and more embedded in an urban society, the less apt they are to get the younger generation involved in the outdoors... fast paced lives and computer technology has made it hard to grab the attention of the youngsters and I think they see themselves as having little room for hunting. Even those that were avid hunters and grew up in avid hunting families seem to make less and less time for a sit in the stand or a walk in the woods... so it stands to reason they won't be taking their kids hunting any time soon, and if they did... it wouldn't be like the ingrained traditional experience some of us had as a kid. I don't know about you, but opening day as a youngster was just like Christmas in my family... even mom, who didn't hunt, got up bright and early to make breakfast for us and joined in on the excitement of our anticipated hunt

no different than it already is... the addition of a weapon that kills using the same cutting edge as any other arrow throwing weapon and still requires a deer to be standing in front of the hunter will have little impact on overall kill numbers... and most hunters that I've spoken to aren't giving up their compound or trad bow for a crossbow any time soon.

It wouldn't really matter what the DEC did with season lengths or bag limits at this point... most of what goes on is a direct result of the actions of the hunter. A good example would be the guy that says the season is too long and the deer population is taking a big hit... yet he continues to fill 3-4 tags every year. Or the guy that whines of the herd being too big, but is against killing a doe or advocates for a 1 buck only season. Usually when someone becomes adamant about changing something it's because it isn't working for them personally and they want to change things to make the game a bit easier to play for them... most don't really care about the overall conservation impact, just the personal impact on themselves. The answer to solving conservation problems is really easy when there is full understanding and cooperation from all hunters... the real problem is that for most hunters (me included) their is the personal experience element that make things much more complicated and tends to mucks up the whole works. The proof can be seen in just the number of different opinions offered in this thread alone.
