  1. Ok cool, I'll give them a call in the morning. 25 year old sister, see how she does sitting quietly in one spot for a few hours, might have to confiscate the old cell phone...
  2. Yea no problem, good luck on the hunt, I've never duck hunted either but I am seriously consider it. Gives me more excuses to get out there! Get those hogs man, they're a damn menace!
  3. I agree with jjb4900, when my grandfather bought me my first bear compound we used an old large throw rug that we were able to fold in half and hang, worked great and even if you need to buy one you can get two smaller ones and hang them back to back for 50 bucks or so from walmart or costco
  4. Hey guys I had a quick question that I cant find a clear answer out on the DEC website. My little sister is finally getting her hunting license this year. She will be doing a combo course for Hunting and Bow in March. Now my question, is she allowed to sit in a blind with me for spring turkey? She would obviously not be hunting, nor even holding a bow, just to sit and accompany me while getting used to sitting in a blind for hours. I know she obviously doesn't have 2014/2015 tags so I just want to make sure its okay for her to sit with me. I thought it would be a good way to break her into sitting quietly in the spring rather than in the fall when she will be purchasing a 2015/2016 license. If you could help me out I would really appreciate it.
  5. Hey thanks I will just subscribe, I live in NYC, its not the most hunter-friendly part of NY and Outdoor Magazines, especially those involved with hunting are few and far between with availability. I already had some people threaten my life because of a bear I took this year.
  6. I wore it for the first time last year when we only had about 4-5 inches on the ground and it was about 15 with wind. This year I wore it when we had 12 inches and morning temp was hanging around 5. I was comfortable whether I was up in my stand or inside of my blind. You do not have to wear crazy layers underneath as the Snow Shadow Extreme bibs are pretty warm to begin with. I had basic UA base layer and a fleece on underneath on the colder days. No problem with sweat, moisture was wicked away and I was good to go. I really do love these bibs.
  7. I’ve been wearing King’s Camo Snow Shadow for the past two seasons. Came in handy both years, was able to take a late season doe last year and passed on a few small bucks this year. They are super comfortable, quiet and warm. I wear them with base layers and maybe some Scentblocker System 2 if the mercury really drops. They look great and now you can you usually buy them in some sort of bundle deal, take a look, I love them. http://www.kingscamo.com/TX-Pro-Extreme-Bibs-Snow-Shadow_p_276.html
  8. Does anyone have a link to the actual publication? I would like to read it if available, thanks.
  9. Thank you, same to you and all the other NY Hunting members out there, Happy and Healthy New Year!
  10. yea thanks, its been tough the past few years and progressively getting worse, hopefully we can get this hammered out
  11. Yea its crazy, like people need help finding porn on the internet….Christ if finding big bucks was as easy as finding porn none of us would be here
  12. Not a problem, thats why were all here, enjoy!
  13. Just a piece of advice that I have received from a friend who retired from NYPD a few years ago, he too did 20 and out. Now he regrets it like crazy. He couldn’t wait to get out, especially working the south Bronx in the 80s he definitely felt like he had to leave and deserved to. Thing is right before he retired he was in the ceremonial unit which is a home run of a gig, I mean, its a lot of funerals which suck but after a tough career its a nice place to retire out of, there are plenty of other parades and other celebrations that he was lucky to attend as well…anyway he thought he would get a security gig and combined with his pension he would be ok. Ends up retired LEOs usually are known to demand more money for security gigs because of their experience so some companies are reluctant to hire them. Ridiculous but we all know how companies are when it comes to a bottom line... Either way he wishes he would’ve done another 10 and retired with 3/4 pay. Just an idea, look into the retirement packages, see what units are available to you. You may not want to retire right away lol. Its a rewarding job, tough now given the current situations, especially here in the city boroughs but it is an amazing career. I could also retire after 20 and don’t think i will be doing it. Whatever you guys decide best of luck and stay safe. Remember, its better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6... Romans 13:4
