WTG!

Thanks for the Precision Bluing link.. As for the wet film transfer, I like the best, but many outfits don't want the legal issues of working with firearms.. OCC used a place in upstate NY for the 'Money Bike' fore a guy in NYC if I remember correctly..

US Army Directive for camo gun painting.. http://images-kitup.military.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Weapons-Painting-101_FINAL.pdf

Funny Video, but downstate NY gun laws blow harder!

http://www.gunsamerica.com has a few Ithaca 49's up, but all in .22..

NYS roadkill is pretty similar. All 'finds/hits' need to be tagged, by yourself/licensed hunter if in season, or a LEO before you can take possession of it.

Here ya go, right here in the Empire State! http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19086/20120109/feral-hogs-invade-champlain-valley-adirondacks

Crazy story. How the hell do you say you fired at sounds of a possible coyote attack, without seeing anything?? Totally reckless beyond belief, and criminal charges should be filed IMHO..

Holy old thread revival, Oct '10..

I use scent free seventh generation liq detergent with some baking soda tossed in.. No UV brighteners in it.. I also have a few old socks that I stuffed with crushed acorns & pin needles in the storage tote with the clothes.

Found this list, pretty good stuff. Tells you what type of roadways run through state land parcels so you have some idea before heading off to the woods.. http://andyarthur.org/fodder/landpolicy/dectrucktrailda.html

Bellmorekennels, please send along some of those links to me in a Pm. My dog is getting up there in age, and medical issues, and want the next dog to be a hunter. Plus, the wife has a soft spot on beagles, so one might be a shoe -in candidate..Thx..

Use one of these in your gun, shoot any 30.06 load. http://www.midwayusa...teel-parkerized

NYS is pretty big. Find state land you want to hunt, then start calling campgrounds where you want to go & see who is open until dec. If you 'explain' your hunting, some MAY let you primitive camp on the grounds with no utilities. In some areas of the state, there are primitive campsites on the state land for use, for free. Any stay over 3 days needs a free permit from the area forest ranger.

SI deer & turkey are going nuts.. Wonder how DEC will propose controlling them in city limits to keep the anti's from foaming at the mouth..
