OK... Sawyers spray, spray the outer clothing till damp, put in a plastic bag, remove the air, tie a knot in it.. let stand for 24 hours.. remove, let air dry outside... Will last up to 8 weeks including washing... you will think ticks are extinct..

Why it’s high time to make peace with crossbow hunting
Grizz1219 replied to tughillmcd's topic in CrossBow Hunting
Why does anyone else care what someone else uses to kill a deer... Do you think they are stealing something form you??? Hunt the way you want, why worry about others if it is legal.... Hell.. I use my Black powder during rifle season... I love my black powder... Can it shoot as far as my 06, no... should I bash others for using center fires?? or scopes on guns.. they make it so you can shoot farther... Not sure why what other legal hunters use should bother anyone else... -
Told the wife... Can't look now.. think it is rude to ask for permission during the season... But this winter we are looking for new land out further into NY... figure less out of staters to bug land owners and hopefully, in the zones 7F & 7H I'll get better deer hunting... Thanks for the honestly Doc, Steve D and rob-c... Always appreciate it... Anyone out in those area's know any good places to start please let me know.. ;-)

A few guys still hunting an area while one or two others are sitting... fine.. Army drives are BS...
-
The farm is in Chaos right now.. original owner passed away... kids don't want it... it's a free for all on that place right now.. just frustrating.. I know everything changes... just sucks when it changes for the bad... Thanks for letting me whine... The guy answered my FB message I sent him, he got a replacement...
-
I rarely hunt silly season... it's when some good hunters and all of the poor hunters go out..
-
The Pat's over anyone...
-
Worst season I have had in 20 plus years... 4Z....
-
I'm sure if I asked he would have told me he had permission to be on the farm... I don't own it... sorry if I gave that impression... I live 2 hours from the farm, so I hunt weekends mostly till vacations.. He is a local from what I am gathering from his FB profile... just really throws me for a loop when people act like I am a guide... they ruin my spots I spend all that time on... I leave sets because my wife and I hunt the farm and we aren't spring chickens.. She's 60 I'm 53... I can't keep popping up two stands every time we hunt... Just frustrating and I am venting to on line "friends"....
-
I spend months prepping for deer season... start running camera's in June, blinds and stand set in August, lanes cut, etc all before Sept... Then the season comes and people just start using your stands/blinds.... Now I set up 12 sets for this one farm, I hunt only when the wind is best and never over hunt one stand... I have multiple pics of guys using my sets... I caught one guy in one blind this past bow season... Also, in his hurry to leave with me standing over him, he left his hunting license behind OR, he returned to the blind later on and dropped it.. I only found it when I pulled the blind Saturday... (I'm not hunting much during rifle, silly season, and black powder season I am in KY on a hunt).... I can return the license np, I found him on FB so I can message him to let him know and get it back to him if he hasn't already gotten a RP... But your thoughts in general on hunting other peoples sets...
-
That's typical in areas with a high doe to buck ratio... Bucks can't breed all the does in the first or second rut, some get bred into January... Never good.. Have one similar sized but no spots... told the guys I hunt with not to shoot the doe, give the fawn a chance..

Well, I'm thinking of getting one for my wife.. Was going to buy her a new compound, but she is having shoulder and knee issues so thinking a cross bow and 22 weeks of hunting in NY ( we can get a doctors note to use it here in MA all bow season) is better than her not hunting when her shoulder is hurting her...
-
Yup.. this...

Wildcat.... Great info.. but remember, the question was about a shotgun... They aren't flat shooting... to try and hold over a target a set # of inches is crazy especially if you can buy a scope that allows you to do what you do with your rifles, hold on target... I was using my rifle shots with the BDC to point out that you can hold dead on with one of these scopes so you will be more accurate at a longer range.. Was not trying to say anything remotely close to the idea your system doesn't work... You do far more than the average hunter in terms of knowing the abilities of the cartridge you are shooting.. Would love to sit and shoot with you one day for sure... and sit and reload with you as well.. I used to do a ton but kids, work just dragged me away from my bench.. Hoping to get back in and would love to pick your brain when I do for info..
-
And in terms of the other parts of that... It's all based on the load and sighted in dead on at 100 yards... Not sure why you bashed it from the start if you knew nothing about it... It is accurate.. As stated I used it to shoot a Gemsbok at 309 yards, a black wildebeest at 290 yds and a Blesbok at 260 yds... If you want American made I am sure Leopold makes one, but the technology is there, it is VERY accurate and works perfectly.. takes the idea of hold over and makes it so you aim dead on with the BDC... I found it VERY helpful for long range shooting...
-
If you are hand loading and know the ballistics of it... it would be a simple math equation to dial it in..
-
So you are saying you knew nothing about them but still wrote "Smoke and mirrors"??? You go to the website and select what scope, what caliber, gauge etc.. Then select the load you are using... So to answer your question, it does customize it to the load... That's why I suggested it and recommend it..
-
Um, no... The BDC reticles work for rifle and BP I can guarantee it... Took game out passed 300 yds with it on my rifle... works fantastic on a rifle, I haven't used one on a shotgun, but I know it is a big advantage on my BP...

Ok guys what is your hunting vacation days ?
Grizz1219 replied to rob-c's topic in General Chit Chat
Right now I am 15 - 17 for day's off work... Will take a day or two around the 9th -
Just did the same.. I haven't really gotten to deep into it.. just saw all the shows that are there... I did watch all the Neutral Ground episodes.. That was OK..
-
Get the KODI app. loaded on it... Then get Carbon TV for sure... That's free...
-
Nope... The others are just apps loaded on to the Fire Tv MOTV is a $10.00 a month fee.. I haven't done that one yet..
-
For those that cut the cord, I've found Carbon TV, Pursuit channel, Whitetail TV and thinking of loading MOTV onto my Amazon Fire TV... Anyone have any others????
-
Any of Ralph and Vicki's shows... I like Shockey... Obviously Meat Eater Rocks...
-
I love my Glock 30.... Fast.. Accurate.... 11 rounds of holy hell can be unleashed... Best point and shoot 45ACP I've owned... I've had Sig, Colt and Thompson...
