This is directly from the NY gun safety web page . https://gunsafety.ny.gov/resources-gun-owners Safe Storage How does the law enacted in 2022 impact transporting guns in a vehicle? Effective September 1, 2022, if you leave your gun unattended in a vehicle, it must be unloaded and locked in a fire, impact, and tamper resistant storage depository that is hidden from view. Glove compartments and glove boxes are not appropriate safe storage depositories. A plastic or aluminum, lockable, hard-sided, gun case or safe will suffice for this purpose. If an adult remains with the vehicle to ensure security, a case or safe is not required. To prevent theft and ensure safety, it is always recommended that firearms be secured during transport. Local rules for traveling with firearms also apply and may be more restrictive. For example, New York City requires that all guns be unloaded, in a case, and out of sight, even when you are with the vehicle (Penal Law § 265.45)

Fire proof , but plastic case is ok . Typical NY laws bass ackward .

I’ve hunted since I was 12 , 52 now and I’ve never seen a bobcat in the wild . My wife has been hunting for like 15 years now and she’s seen 2 .

Misses and I will be out ..

Agreed, I’m only 52 started at 16 at my cousins hunting camp. Used to be several of us at the camp for years and 8 years ago it was just my cousin, myself , wife and my oldest son. My cousin had been retired for a bit and moved to NC and sold the camp 7 yrs ago now . So we started leasing hunting property and my son decided he didn't want to hunt anymore last year as he started a new job and was super busy. So now it’s just the misses and I , and I truly do love doing everything with her . But man how things have changed these past several years. It looks like our current lease we’ll hopefully be on it for some time as our last 2 we’re sold. So now I hope we can make a few memories on this property .

AND ………

Holy cow , glad you made out ok . I’ve got a sneaking suspicion you’ll feel it tomorrow though . I pay very good attention on my climbing and descending , I’m very deliberate about my hand and foot placement .

I should have put a sarcastic smiley face after my comment . It’s been a long running joke with the wife and I about how she always needs a cough silencer .

Thought I’d post my semi diy powder drop since we’re talking reloading . I got a smoking deal on a used Lee classic cast turret and wanted to drop my powder on the press as I’m loading . So I bought the Lee deluxe measure and welded up a mount to position it over my thru expander die. The upright tube is scrap I had laying around with a nut welded in the bottom and the extension is actually a 7/8 box end wrench that the powder measurer body fits perfect in . It’s held on to the press by a bolt threaded up through the press base and then I screw it on and tighten into position. I used to load all my rifle cases on a single stage , but I’ll tell ya the ammo loaded on the turret is just if not more accurate than the single stage.

You need the Cough silencer .. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ubergizmo.com/2006/11/cough-silencer-takes-sound-from-coughs/amp/

I’m on several forums , I figured what’s one more . I will say I see members posting here that I don’t recognize their names , so it seems they are picking up the slack . Good guys/ hunters on both now, so I follow both.

Congrats , glad it worked out . And you got a coyote to boot , fyi wife loves her 7-08 .

Misses and I are heading out , good luck to all .

I had that happen quite a few yrs ago , it was behind me and I just braced myself in the stand hoping it wasn’t coming my way . It will defiantly make one pucker .

I’d say a couple juicy burgers for the little guys last meal was a good one.

Thanks to all veterans ..

Wow either he’s the most laid back fox ever or as you’ve noted he’s off . I’ll be curios on your report tomorrow .

Shhhh , that rain will be out of here by Saturday afternoon ..

Actually looking forward to Sat , Sun and Monday with the cooler temps rolling in. Already told work that Tuesday , Wednesday may be sick days depending on how things go over the weekend. Took Monday as a vacation day . What’s everyone’s thoughts ?

10 years till retirement for me, then we’re moving ..

Well your not wrong . But dang between Joe and the Hoe and our horse face governor , it’s making it hard to be positive about things getting better .

Oh man that’s sucks, I feel for ya from one bad back to another . It never happens at a good time that’s for sure.

Misses and I went out yesterday afternoon 8W. It was a bitter sweet afternoon , I had what im pretty sure was the wide 6 I’ve been after come in to right at 3:00 . Couldn’t see him but could hear him , after about 4-5 mins I felt the wind ever so slightly shift and hit my left side of my face and yep he bounded off . Wife she had a lot of action , had a buck chasing and challenging another buck right before end of legal light. She didn’t get a solid look but she said it was at least a 6, maybe a spike snd 2 does , at one point the doe were directly right behind her. At this point it was too dark to shoot and this ladder was in a pine tree. So at 5:40 I radio her that I’m packing up and she tells me she’s still got deer all around her. So instead of her getting busted climbing down out of the stand I decided to slowly walk up the dug rd. and push them off . The big doe was not happy and blew for several minutes . We didn’t get out of the woods till 6:20 . This is a first for the wife to see chasing going on and she was pretty excited .
