LOL. That's better then some of the crossbows they make today.

No deer or turkey since getting back into hunting the past few years. 7 or 8 squirrels last winter with the shotgun using old fashioned Winchester Super Sport #8's and Hevi Game Lead Shot from Heavy Shot in #6.

I am on board with the 7mm-08 crowd. I have Howa 1500 Ranchland Compact that I shoot Hornady American Whitetail 139gr Inter Lock's out of. The rifle likes the ammo is very accurate. My next is a Savage Axis XP Stainless in 25-06 that I am going to try the Federal Fusion in 120gr in. I would much rather be using Hornady AW's in 117gr, but haven't picked any up yet. Have to find a bullet the rifle likes. This might end up as a favorite as it's good from chucks to whitetails. I don't need anything bigger then either of these for the areas and game I hunt. I also like the lower recoil. If the day comes where they open moose season I will have to get another. That would be a tough one between the 7mm mag or the old faithful 30-06 for me personally.

You would be wrong on that Doewhacker. http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/32964-finally-shot-the-mp/ I am not a big target shooting guy unless it's my M&P 15 22, yes due to cost effectiveness. The only rifle I own and have not shot yet is the latest, mainly due to moving and the wait time to get into a new range or club ( old range is over an hour away now ). I have also mentioned in other threads that my turkey loads are Rio Bismuth 3" #4 and patterned well from my middle of the road brand shotgun ( which I have not shot a slug through as I use a rifle for deer ). If I had an acre or two of my own land ( as many on here do ) I would shoot more as it would just be going out the back door and walking a few hundred feet. As for the latte thing vlywaterman, never had one in my life. I drink cheap beer, and usually make my own cigarettes, cost, maybe $30 a week. Some people spend that a few times a week eating out. I am not giving up the vices I have for theories and estimations. I stand by my own theory, let people be free to make the choice and stop degrading them for not doing what you want them to!! It's just that easy.

Where's the pics of the target/s?

Here's something that hasn't been brought up in these 'discussions'. Crows, ravens, turkey buzzards/vultures and many more feed on the gut piles from deer left behind. How many of these bird carcases do people find laying around in the woods or the fields of the land they own, walk, or hunt? Some predators like the coyote might gobble them up, but, the feathers would be left behind. Pretty hard to miss a pile of feathers. Oh wait, I guess the wind carries those feathers away. We all know the tale of wolves in sheeps clothing. This is a prime example. In another thread from a different zealot, I mentioned cost. Not every hunter can afford non-lead ammo. I even posted facts on the price difference. Like I already said, PETA is that way --------->.

Also made slingshots using solid "Y" sticks and pieces of old tire tubes. Trying to go sledding on a trash bag or piece of cardboard. Great times. Kids today might have all these cool gadgets and toys, but we ( anyone over 40 ) had real fun as kids. Being outdoors and just being young and silly.

When people use the last of the TP and don't add the new roll. Anyone who drinks my last beer without it being offered to them. This one can get you banned from my home! Camping with friends and the women help me get things done while the 'guys' sit there doing nothing. People who don't understand 'cooking low and slow" over campfire coals. It's not fast food!

Sure is a dandy Law! Hope you see him in the fall.

You are joking right? We all 'Get The Point!". What some don't get is we are becoming jaded on this issue because the numbers of birds killed every year by lead poisoning is all due to hunters. I don't think so! The numbers don't even add up on these so called facts. The common numbers for this subject seem to all run the same, 10-20 million birds die from lead poisoning each year. You want intelligent? Lets look at the numbers. 10-20 million, estimated. 10 million is a huge difference, it's not like saying 2-3 hundred, were talking 10 million, pretty fantastical range to be 'unsure' about. Just sayin'. I am not buying those numbers at all. Sorry, JMO. Bowguy 1, what's the "?" for? Let me clarify and be more direct. I don't buy that lead ammo is the huge cause of death to raptors as people try and make us believe. I just don't. I stated the reason why above this quote. It's getting way beyond ludicrous for people to keep blaming all the worlds woes on hunters and gun owners. An eagle died from lead poisoning, lets bann lead ammo for everyone! A terrorist slaughtered 50 people, lets blame law abiding gun owners and hunters. We hunters and gun owners are a tough brood, but, you keep piling all the BS that happens on us and we get pissed off! If people are against things they should be hanging out with like minded people, if you come to a hunting site expecting everyone to agree with being told what we can and can't do, and think for one second you won't have opposition you are wrong. Was that a better explanation Bowguy 1? No ill will meant towards you.

Well, didn't really want to go to the store but, decided I wanted some chips to snack on later and got some more budget beer and this can of Blue. I haven't drank a Labatt of any kind in years. Now I remember why.

Good thing you did check them. That could have been nasty.

Back on the grill. London broil and will be adding corn on the cob soon. Not sure what will wash it down. Feel like something different but don't feel like going to the store.

Will be a nice shooter this fall no doubt.

First actual meal cooked inside the new home. Spaghetti with hot Italian sausage, garlic bread, and a side salad.

Stop letting her win! Just kidding. Looks like you need to step up your game TF. Stop drinking all those exotic beers and get to fishing!

The above post is so silly it makes me laugh. The lack if intelligence comes from no recent facts about lead ammo is the only thing killing Eagles ( or other predatory birds etc! ). It could be lead from polluted water, or even in the land itself. This come to a "Hunting Forum" and blame the hunters for all the animals that die is becoming ludicrous! The PETA sites are this way, ---------> . Here's the front door: http://www.peta.org

So when do we get to come over and help thin your herd growie? I think I am free the entire firearm season.

Got me Rattler. Good one. Hard to tell whats real and not real around the political area on here. Also, nothing would be surprising with Obama.

Got a link to this one? I would love to see if this was real or mass media propaganda.

Can't figure it out. The smell is going away, we been living here for a week and never spelled anything. I can't explain it. It smelled like auto gas or diesel fuel. As for the dryer, we are just going to get a new one. Seals on the door are gone and it's so old it takes a lot to get clothes dried and it leaks. No big deal.. Couple pics.

America! 'Nuff Said!

When people pull a SBD ( Silent But Deadly ) in a vehicle in the Winter!

Still tastes better then: LOL

Nothing special tonight. Fish sandwiches and onion rings.
