  1. Unfortunately for me, I suffer from pre-hypertension and need to be aware of high sodium content in anything I consider eating. That keeps me from enjoying many of the foods I really love to eat. In fact, because I ate so much of those foods, I have pre-hypertension now. I love Vita herring, especially in the cream sauce.
  2. It's pretty simple. A "good shot" is someone that can hit their target every time. Especially when it's alive, moving, in dense cover, on a windy day and at an unknown distance. Accuracy is critical, but being able to surmount all the other variables mentioned here, is what makes someone "good".
  3. "It's kind of like Al Gore condemning climate hysteria, or like Beyoncé denouncing the over-sexualization of modern music. That's how I felt watching former President Obama's recent condemnation of so-called 'cancel culture.' Keep in mind, it's not that I would be bothered by Gore's renunciation of the climate cult or Beyoncé's censuring promiscuous lyrics, it's that I would find the whole thing surreal. When you instigate, fuel, and participate in something, it's an odd spectacle for you to turn around and criticize it." —Peter Heck
  4. Hollow words from a man who did exactly what he's talking about his entire presidency. The Great Divider instilled that vice in young people and encouraged it in the universities. He may have come to realize the damage he did, but that's far from admitting it and certainly doesn't qualify as an apology. The country's #1 narcissist probably just wants to be portrayed better in the history books when he's gone. Unfortunately for America, that won't be soon enough. He should work on correcting the racist crap his partner keeps spewing whenever possible.
  5. When most of the taxpayers leave, and only the tax takers are left, NY will be bankrupt. That will be the Cuomo legacy. Ya can't fix stupid.
  6. Cuomo is such an idiot. Most wealthy NY residents leave the state as soon as they can because the taxes they pay are far less in many other places. NY is losing tax revenue at an astounding rate and Cuomo keeps spending tax dollars on worthless leftist ideals. At the bare minimum, Trump had to pay the maximum NY state income tax of 9% on his earnings, which had to be in the tens of millions at the very least. Plus, the inheritance tax NY would've gotten in the future from Trump's estate would have been substantial. So to say he didn't pay taxes in NY just goes to show how little Cuomo respects the very large taxes people pay in NY state.
  7. They can't fix any of the real problems, because they're the one's who made them.
  8. Please refrain from ever using the term "gun violence", because it is a phrase made up by leftists to produce hatred of an inanimate object they despise and want to take from your hands. Use the term "physical violence" in it's place, especially since other forms of violence far exceed the number of people harmed by others in this country. Leftists are not at all concerned about physical violence, they actually embrace it to achieve their goals. They only concern themselves with guns and taking them away from all US citizens, so you won't be able to resist their escalating violence in the future.
  9. If you let them hang low enough, they shouldn't interfere with drawing your bow.
  10. I assume you are hunting from a stand?
  11. Seriously? You don't know what you're missing. I often spot many deer I would have never seen if not for the binocs.
  12. I use a chest harness and have a couple of different brands on different binoculars. I want the binoculars close to my body when not in use and I don't want them to dangle on the ground or bump my rifle when I'm climbing a steep hill, hunched over or near the ground. I don't like the enclosed cases because they hinder the ability to use binocs quickly or at will when you need to. They are also bulky and can get in the way when hunting, since they stand off the chest so much. They also require a lot more movement to use. I also don't feel my binocs need that much protection when hunting. I paid for quality and durability and rely on that in the field. I also prefer camo straps. When wearing camo, the black straps stand out way too much. These days If I am carrying my binocs, I'm using a chest harness.
  13. Forget the stone walls. They are insignificant when it comes to where deer will travel. Find the trails and play the wind when looking for stand sites.
  14. Some areas of the SZ have few hunters on the gun opener. These would be the areas with the antler restrictions. I hunt 4P on the opener and find it to be very unpopulated, much to the chagrin of the local businesses that would like to see lot's of hunters in town.
  15. Notice how people who are far removed from reality, are the one's who like to be confrontational. It's a mental illness and psychosis that needs professional help.
  16. You have to expect those kind of comments from haters. They see nothing wrong with their hatred of others who don't live the way they think they should.
  17. The hunter didn't make sure the buck was dead when he approached it. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2019/10/25/wounded-buck-fatally-skewers-hunter-who-took-it-down/23846475/
  18. Great day afield. Lots of work later to clean all those birds though.
  19. The state saves money by keeping them out of jail and putting citizen's safety at risk. The state seems to prefer saving money.

    4P Hunters

    The Chop Shop @ Rt 28 and Thompson Cross Rd, just prior to the town of Delhi is quite popular. I think they take deer during bow season by appt.
  21. Yep, that's how our elected officials worry about criminals to the detriment of good citizens. It's been in the news for awhile. Bleeding hearts in this state far outweigh people with sense. Meanwhile, everything that can be done, to remove your right to self defense, is being done. Gotta love those Democrats.
  22. Thanks for posting this. They have some great prices and the free shipping is awesome! I needed 1K rounds of 7.62x39 from a place that will ship to my door.
