My state, Ma, required smoothebore BP's for a long long time.... Beautiful gun... I'll try to post a pic of it when I get it back out to the range...

Any idea's??? Got an old T/C Renegade I want to break back out again.. need to find balls for it..

My question to those that oppose orange... Why?? Do you wear a seat belt in a car??? I'm not all for being TOLD to do something.. but in some cases.. it just makes sense... like hunter orange during gun season.. wearing a seat belt in a truck... etc...

This could make me call in sick on Tuesday!!!!! LOL (If I have any tags after this weekend.... fingers crossed.. )

I meant 3 not #

I'll be back in NY hunting again!!! # days left for me to fill a tag or two with the wife... Anyone else heading out this weekend for the last chance???

Very true there.. like I've said before.. can't legislate morality or eithics... But just seems like hunters in NY are missing out on 1 hour of prime hunting time and I was trying to give a reason to go after it.. Appears I am in the minority of going after it... It just made sense to me so I posted it..

I can see orange pretty well long before sunrise... Not sure what you mean by that... and I ALWAYS use a head light when walking in the dark... Red light usually..

150 or 165 Fed. Fusions...

Also found out... 40 states require hunter orange to be worn.... Not saying thast justifies it.. but no denying it saves lives and would be a good trade for that extra hour to hunt in my opinion... I'm sure not all agree.. but again.. my opinion... everyone has them.. LOL

Here's another great web site.. NY again http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00044112.htm

From your own state... " The effectiveness of fluorescent orange safety clothing speaks for itself. Look at the results: Over the past ten years, 15 New York State big game hunters have been mistaken for deer or bear and killed, and every one of these victims was from that small minority of hunters who did not wear hunter orange. But not even one person who was wearing hunter orange was mistaken for game and killed. A 16th hunter was also killed in the line of fire when another hunter shot at a deer. Another 13 deer hunting fatalities were not visibility-related." I'll find more... but started with NY

States always want "something".... I'm offering this.. Trust me.. I can't understand how ANYONE gets shot other than a ricochet (spelling???)... If you cvan't understand the idea of identifying your target you shoudn't be out there.. but again.. can't legislate morality... As for the stats for safety... I'll try to get the stats for you...

Does it kill your battery????

Yup... Got to love snow, MRI is an awesome tool.... (Most recent info)

They make a case for the phone that will give it another full charge??? Wow.. I really do have a dumb phone with a dumb owner.. LOL

If so.. what app do you use?? how well does it work for locating stands, etc... I have a dumb phone right now but thinking of upgrasding before next year... so thoughts on I phone 4S, I phone 5 and Gallaxy SIII I think is the name..

I was offering it up as a reason for safety the state could agree with to offset the time.. nothing more.. read what you would like... As for the stats on other states.. Even my dumb azzed state allows it... And my state is stupid compared to NY... Vermont, NH as well.. only other one I know like NY is Ct..

When almost every state around you has as good or better safety stats and they hunt 1/2 hour before to a 1/2 hour after... I would think it would show that the law is only punishing the law abiding hunter and they are losing the best hour of hunting... But again... if enough people are OK with it.. go with the status quo...

got to admit.. earlier than that would be seriously poaching, no way you can see... But you are right.. those that will cheat will cheat... Was just trying to get something like states around NY to give hunters that 1 hour in prime time to hunt... it was a suggestion to give us more time.. not to reduce poaching... They will always poach.. we are just playing by rules that are more punishing us than the bad hunters... I think..

I shoot a T/C prohunter... I don't shoot unless I know for sure I am killing it... personal choice...

That's what I thought...

Just wondering...

I'll be out with the Pro hunter.. not the Mathews... Time to reach out and touch a few does...

I'm sure my Pro Hunter could go 250... up to me at that point... Going to work up a load for next years moose hunt so I'm out to 200 accurately...
