Thanks for all the input.... Have to experiment a little bit and hope for the best

You are not crazy.....They are rare but they are out there..... here is one that was shot during a state wide coyote/fox contest in Jan. I believe it was shot up north.

Read an article on that a couple of weeks ago.....A high percentage (don't remember the number) were all self inflicted. Glad there were no fatalities

I received a electric Masterbuilt smoker for x-mas. Since it is somewhat outdoor temperature sensitive I waited til this past weekend to fire it up and do the 3 hr. "pre-season" as described in the manual so now I am ready to go. The manual gives recommendations for 2-3 cups of chips for each time you use it. To prevent flare-ups it also says do not use over 1/2 cup of chips at a time, to check it periodically, and add chips when needed. My question is how often do you need to check it and add chips? I know this will vary based on weather & conditions but just trying to get a feel for how often chips need to be added and how long 1/2 cup of chips will last. During the pre-season 1/2 cup lasted approx. 1/2 hr. Any recommendations will appreciated.

Going to be a nice day to...Hope everyone has a safe & happy day!

Here's his sign...Like I said before....you can't fix stupid

I have always used these and had good luck with them...and they clean up easy. Called "Day-Glo" and run about $7.00-$7.50 each. They can be bought with the "D" ring on the collar as shown or with the ring as part of the collar. They can also be cut to length and holes can be added pretty easy.

There are two eaglets in the nest...If you keep checking back you can watch them getting fed off & on during the day. Save the link it is available 24/7 Enjoy http://www.eagles.org/dceaglecam/

Everything is great in America

Dead Snake.........if it is near me

Black Bellamy Here are some more facts for you to consider: "Barack and Michelle Obama have traveled more than any other first couple — doing Spain, Africa, China, South America, among other distant spots. Often they’re accompanied by friends and Michelle Obama’s Mom, Marian Robinson, who’s been living in the White House at taxpayer expense since her son-in-law’s inauguration. And in some cases, Mrs. Robinson’s friends tag along." "By one accounting, as of last July the Obamas had spent more than $44.4 million in taxpayer money on travel for 31 international trips lasting 119 days. For comparison, at the same point in his presidency Ronald Reagan had made 14 trips lasting 73 days" "Michelle Obama and three of her family members stayed in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite." The 3,400-square-foot suite included a private steam room and in-room dining for six. "Air Force revealing that Michelle Obama’s 2014 trip to China cost American taxpayers $362,523.53 in air travel expenses alone. The first lady, her daughters, and her mother spent March 19-26 in China." (2014)

Ain't that the truth!!!!!

Not true....With things the way they are in the world I would be more concerned about them being safe and secure in the US instead of them & the mother in-law getting to tour the world on taxpayer's dime. Now it is off to Argentina with the whole crew and who knows where to next. Aren't the "children" supposed to be in school or do they have their teachers with them. Still seems to me like an abuse of taxpayer money. What the hell do we need to be in Argentina for anyways. Oh I forgot we have to find ways to combat the Zika Virus. That will probably do more harm than ISIS.

A fmj may kill a deer with a good shot placement but you are more likely to get a pass through making it dangerous for anything/anyone beyond the deer. With all the choices available with expanding bullets there is no need to use full metal jackets. But to answer your question they are legal...just a poor choice for deer.

No doubt...God Bless America!!

Obama goes to Cuba on a diplomatic trip and takes the wife, kids, and Mother-in-law. What exactly is that doing for the country? Nothing like taking your family traveling all over the world at tax payers expense.

Lawdwaz I hunt the Canadice area quite often and this year was the worst I have ever seen it for trash. I picked up quite a bit and it never fails to amaze me the crap hunters leave in the woods. Must be a new generation. Never saw a tv but I am sure if I looked hard enough I would. Thanks for picking it up!

I knew Garland was anti-gun and expected any nominee he (Obama) made to be anti-gun. Just think what will happen if Hillary gets elected and gets to pick the next judge(s). Can't say I agree with the republicans vowing not to have hearings on Obama's choice but think they should have the balls to say we are turning him down based on his outlook on gun control and just maybe the message would start to get through.

New York State Rifle & Pistol Assoc.(NYSRPA) had this to say: Then on Tuesday, Tom King, NYSRPA president, hit back publicly against Dark Storm in a post to social media. “Today I can say without reservation after having checked with the NYSP and the Attorney General’s Office that there is no SAFE Act update of compliant firearms, accessories or receivers. Why this information was circulated without vetting is beyond comprehension but maybe you should ask Dark Storm and the other organizations that foisted this on us all,” wrote King. Which minutes later brought Dark Storm’s reply that they held back some information due to potential litigation but then chose to share it with King. “We have been in touch with Tom King from NYSRPA and have provided him with additional details that were not made public,” said DSI. “We expect that NYSRPA will support us once all of the facts come out.” If the rules for non-compliance have been changed by the state police how is the average "gun owner" suppose to know? Seems to me since they know there are a estimated one million non-registered so called "assault rifles" in NY their goal would be to make them all "non-compliant" which would require registration or the risk of a felony charge. Once they are able to get them "all" registered then they can declare them all illegal and confiscation can begin.

What I don't get is how one state police unit located on Long Island gets to basically make all AR's non-compliant by defining the items that could and have been used to make them compliant illegal. Basically one state police unit on Long Island has made ANY AR non compliant with the safe act and no means to make them compliant. There should be some clarification coming ...but somehow I don't think it is going to be very clear!!

Posted this yesterday in the "safe-act" section HOT OFF THE PRESS NYSP SAFE Act Update 3-11-2016 Effective March 11, 2016 we have been advised by the New York State Police Troop L Gun Investigation Unit that their official determinations have now been made on a number of items and configurations of semi-automatic rifles under the SAFE Act. We have requested they provide a formal notification in writing which we expect to see in the next 30 days. We are working with our attorneys as well as attorneys representing some of the component manufacturers to explore legal challenge options. Below is a summary of what we have been advised: - Any “featureless” configuration on an AR or AK style receiver is NOT compliant. This includes: the Spur, the Thordsen FRS, the Monsterman, the Boar and all other similar items where the hand is below the action of the rifle. - “Featureless” rifles including the Mini 14, Saiga Sporter, Ruger 10/22, Ares SCR, etc. where the hand is behind the action of the rifle ARE compliant. - The AR Mag-Lock mechanism which allows removal of the magazine when the action is open is NOT compliant. - The DS-15 FX series fixed magazine receiver and rifles which are manufactured as a “fixed magazine” ARE compliant. This information is subject to change and clarification. No other clarifications have been issued at this time leaving some products still in the grey area. As always, we are not attorneys and do not offer legal advice, we are only trying to pass along information as it becomes available to us.
