Welcome the the site and welcome to the sport. Yes, it is very addictting!

How come the anti's and the liberals never mention this survey? http://www.policeone.com/Gun-Legislation-Law-Enforcement/articles/6183787-PoliceOnes-Gun-Control-Survey-11-key-findings-on-officers-thoughts/

Touche'. It's alright though. Michigan was the youngest team in the whole tournament (Basically all freshman, 1 sophomore, and 1 junior) and they made it to the finals going against the top ranked team filled with juniors and seniors and they still gave them a good run. Michigan will lose Trey Burke to the NBA this summer (he would be dumb not to leave right now) but if all the freshmen return, Michigan should have a very dominant team next year.

My license is up for renewal this fall so I'm actually sort of nervous myself. They should (I hope) be sending me my renewal forms in a couple of months.

Shoot out the wings and steal the camera!

Happens once every 17 years. I was in Michigan the last time it happened so I missed it. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/billions-cicadas-set-invade-east-coast-spring-article-1.1310555

Squirrels are tough for archery. A deer moves an inch and you'll still hit it. A squirrel moves an inch and it's a clean miss. But if you're good, you can do it. There are guys on here that has done it before. If you shoot down on them from up top, you only need field tips or blunt (small game) tips. If you're shooting up at them, you'll need flu flu arrows. I'm not telling you to stay away from the woods. I'm saying go in there with realistic expectations and enjoy nature. Don't get discouraged if you don't see deer right away. Real hunting is potentially going through the whole season without seeing any deer in range at all.

It is a public park but your can not just show up and shoot any where whenever you want. There is a specific archery range there and you can only shoot with it's open and supervised. You also need a permit which I can't remember but it's something like $150 or so for the year plus it's really for your car so only one person needs to get the permit and all your friends can pack into the same car. You need the car permit though. "Archery is offered year round. Call 718-338-3799 for archery permits for Floyd Bennett Field." A lot of hunters watch hunting shows and they get this idea that they just walk into a forest, see a deer within 1/2 an hour, shoot it, and bam! Dinner is served. They don't realize that in reality, it takes months of prep work and tracking, years, of experience in reading the signs before you can successfully hunt a deer. Yes, sometimes people get luck and a deer falls right in front of them but that's rare and not a product of their skill. I just see a lot of new hunters go into hunting with these unrealistic expectations and then they give up because those expectations are not met.

PCs are the top dogs so every hacker is gunning for them but Macs security is non-existent. When a staff with a Mac gets fired, we bypass their password security with a press of a button.

Welcome fellow NYC hunter. Check out ProLine and Queens Archery both out by Flushing. You can also shoot in Floyd Bennett Field but there won't be a skilled instructor there to help give you tips. ProLine probably your best bet. Bow hunting is one of the hardest and highest form of hunting. Hope you don't get discouraged starting out on hard difficulty. But if you're going to start your practice on wild pigs then you won't get any practice at all. There are no wild pigs in NY state.

Syracuse lost it because they stubbornly stayed with the 2-3 zone when it clearly wasn't working in the 1st half. It started to work a little in the start of the second half but by then it was too late. Michigan adjusted towards the end by attacking the basket with good entry passes. Syracuse didn't seem to have a plan B at all.

...a Michigan Wolverine!

I think it's because you only bought one box (I'm guessing 20 rounds) of ammo? I think the alarm is triggered only if you buy something like 3000 rounds in a 2 week period or something like that.

That's a lot of dogs! Good stuff!

Say it followed you home.

"Why do we need 20s? Nobody hunts deer with 20s!"

Bone tends to mend better than ligament and tendon damage. I've seen several similar breaks of equal severity in other sports as well. Also from lateral movement. The human body never designed itself to move side to side with such great force. We were more design to go north and south (main north) and not east and west.

How do you post pictures? Can't find that option any more.

Happy birthday, Biz!

I go to public lands as well. Stewart, Sterling, watershed lands, etc.

I keep several basic items in a back pack and my hunting license is attached to the pack so I never forget to bring it. Just grab the back pack whenever I head out to the field. Among the items in the pack is a first aid kit, compass, paracord, fire starter, etc.

Happy birthday!

Which is what I do and will continue to do rather than spend tons of money on a new sling.

umm...what? pheasant season ended last month.

Absolutely zilch on line. I mean nada!
