Had one for a couple of years....Nice accurate rifle but mine was LOUD & kicked like a mule.

Here is last year's discussion click on the blue .223 Deer below for the entire discussion.

Passing on the tradition....A wonderful thing....for him and for you. ENJOY!!!!!!!

Watch this show when & if you get a chance a you will begin to realize how bad the problem is. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/border-wars/videos/border-wars-season-7-preview/

May sound dumb but I would check with the town board/zoning board before doing anything. Some towns have regulations against such activities. If you enter into a lease/contract and it violates town regulations you will more than likely be held accountable. Even though you own the land they (the local government) controls what can and cannot be done with that land. If the town doesn't have some type of regulation the County usually does and some times it is both! The town I live in just about everything you may want to do is regulated and if something comes up that isn't regulated they put a moratorium on the activity until they can figure out how to regulate it!!! Politics at it finest.

Here is a insert from the "NYS Safe Act" language: "While at a recognized range, whether you are there for recreation or for participating in shooting competitions, you may load the full ten rounds into any magazine you have. Starting on April 15, 2013, you are limited to putting 7 rounds in the magazine in all other locations." Here is a article where a guy in Niagara county lost all of his weapons and pistol permit for having 10 rounds in a legally owned and registered pistol during a traffic stop. I understand he got everything back after a long fight but it took a long time and lots of money. I personally don't want the hassle and figure If I can't hit a deer after 7 rounds the other 3 aren't going to help. 10 could be nice in a self defense situation but again the first 7 would hopefully get the job done. If not I can put another clip in. Until I know for sure I can carry 10 I will carry 7. http://www.guns.com/2014/03/01/judge-rules-constitutional-rights-violated-case-man-charged-safe-act/

Rob My thoughts are if I am walking out of the woods or have it on while driving home and happen to get stopped I am not "hunting". If a officer wants to check it and finds out I have more than 7 in the magazine I am in trouble. That is why I only carry seven. I usually have two magazines but never have more than seven in them because of the safe act. Same thing with my 9mm which has a capacity of 10. As far as the .40 I mostly carry it in case one comes in on the blind side & can't get the long gun up without being spotted, or one comes in really close. The longest shot I made on a deer was approx. 40-45 yds. I don't practice enough to be more proficient. At the time I bought it the 10 mm. had not come out yet and it was the closest thing I could find to the ballistics of a .357. The .44 mag. was way to much gun for me and after the 10mm came out I found that a little beefy as well. What I do like about the .40 s&w is the wide variety of loads you can shoot out of it. Mine is pretty accurate, and the knock down power has been good. Probably not for everyone but it works for me. But then again I am one of those guys that shoots them with a .223 instead of the higher calibers so it could be taken with a grain of salt. Regardless of the gun or caliber what I look for is accuracy, how I like to shoot it, and will it do the job. ACCURACY is first with me!

Just completed the survey.....nice to know they are making an attempt to listen to hunters as hard as that may be with all the different opinions out there!

Rob It isn't spelled out in the 2015-16 book. In order to stay in compliance with the "safe" act I only have seven in the magazine. I believe they approved 10 round magazines but restrict us to seven rounds. Only makes sense we can all have 10 round magazines but only the criminals will be putting ten rounds in them.

I wouldn't just throw the antlers out...there is a market for them. One of many http://www.ebay.com/bhp/whitetail-deer-antlers Do some research and you will find more.

Use to have a .357 & Couldn't stand to shoot it. Way to loud & to much recoil. Got rid of that & bought one of these. Browning hi-power in .40 S&W. Has adjustable sights, fun to shoot, & accurate. Ballistics are pretty close to a .357 mag. with a lot less recoil. Shot one deer with it at 40 yards with a 180 gr. hollow point. Took two steps & fell over. Deer came in on the blind side. I always carry it during gun season for that reason. A little heavy for a every day carry but carrying in a shoulder holster isn't bad. Well made gun and has been accurate & reliable.

Won't be long until they fly! http://dceaglecam.org/

Great pictures...they may be jakes but hey look like BIG healthy birds. Great Shots!

The Adirondacks are a very special place for me. Have spent quite a bit of time there over the years and always look forward to going back. Haven't been up in awhile but your video(s) take me back and remind me of what a beautiful part of the country it is. I have never been there in the spring....but thinking it may just be one on the best times to be there. Once the black flies & deer flies are out it can make a trip pretty unbearable. Fall & winter have always been my favorite times because of the bugs. Usually this time of year you would be contending with snow melt & mud but it looks like conditions are the best they could be right now and the best part is no crowds. As I am sure you know; it can get pretty busy up there at certain times of the year. Fantastic trip, endless memories, and great video. Thanks for sharing and hope you have many more!

I don't need to go to a rally....I fought for that flag and saw guys die for that flag. While not much is sacred in this country the flag used to be and still should be regardless of what the supreme court says. He or she can express their rights and say what they want , dress they way the want, and be the sex that they want, but standing on and defacing the American flag crosses the line and is un-acceptable to me. All I'm sayin is I wouldn't stand by and watch it happen! He would be a hero & I would be in jail.
