I dont know if I could go back to a car. I like the fact I can go anywhere, whenever I want. I can pick up large items without having to borrow a truck, or plan it out. Its just so convenient. I dont have to shovel or plow my driveway in the winter, etc etc etc. The convenience is worth the expense IMO. Id be pretty bummed if I had to give up the truck, I feel for ya.

I asked those people to provide some proof of the way I "play the mod card" and sling crap. None was ever provided. I attribute it to hurt feelings and poo flinging from the usual suspects. Not that I give a rats patoot what said people think on the subject, or me for that matter. (BTW, notice I edited out your cursing a few posts ago without slapping your hand in any way what-so-ever? Geeze, Im such a heavy handed mean guy, arent I?) Wow, 6 new farms for rich guys with no hunting skills? You go boy. lol Yep, thats a little flinging back at ya hahahaha

You and I actually agree on quite a few things. Theres actually a new branch in the process of being created in Eastern NY now. The NY State chapter has been resurrected recently, with all new leadership. You should be the one keeping your eyes peeled for things growing around you, honestly. BTW, what was I shown recently? You keep dodging questions people are asking you.

Thats sweet wooly!

First off, QDMA is an organization, not a style, or management system. Second, my goals for my harvests have nothing to do with what you deem as a "true QDM style". My goals are based on many factors, including what makes me happy. We have quite a few 3 1/2+ year old bucks running around the area I hunt. When I get to a point where I want to set my bar at 3 1/2 or better, I will. Would I like to shoot a giant? Sure I would. Is that the only reason I hunt? Hell no. I was just at the northeast Regional Summit (which our branch put on) and was given the membership numbers. I dont remember the exact numbers off the top of my head, but Ill see if I cant get them for you. Maybe Culver or WesternNY remembers exactly what they were. Exactly what did I find out? Please, clue me in. I dont hide behind anything. Want to come see me, or talk to me in person? Ive posted many times about events Im at. Feel free to stop by, Ill tell you the same opinions to your face as I would on here.

You couldnt be more wrong, but keep telling yourself that, if it makes you sleep better at night.

The QDMA is growing, just look at the membership numbers, amount of active branches popping up, etc. Its easy to see. Harvest numbers on older bucks are up almost across the board. In many states, hunter numbers are starting to trend back up, but time will ultimately tell on that. QDM practices have gained traction everywhere. I quite honestly dont care what a few people on the QDMA forums have to say. Who knows who they are anyway? Deer farmers, people with an axe to grind with them for whatever reason? Who knows. The internet is a fun place to try and hide behind a keyboard and fling poo, isnt it?

A losing battle? You arent paying attention, are you? QDM practices are growing outside of fences at a much faster rate than your high fence places are. In fact, one could make a pretty viable argument as to why high fence operations that grow bucks for shooting, are at the root of most of whats wrong with the hunting industry today, and cwd doesnt even need to be brought into the conversation.Your industry is all about the money, thats it, lining your own pockets. The QDMA is all for research, furthering our sport through political means and promoting our sport to youth and other new comers. While i dont have a problem with capitalism, i do take issue with profiteering by genetically mutated freaks of nature, and the black eye it gives the sport i love. Now dont take that to mean i have a problem with all deer farming, just the places that tie a 200" 2 year old to a post and have some ding dong cough up a wad of cash to blast him. Anyway, back on topic...

Whos saying the members dont want to see and kill big bucks? We are saying that the organization is about much much more than that. Its not just about food plots, TDM, and things of that nature. Feel free to cherry pick and take your pot shots though, anyone that goes to the site, looks around, and sees what is really going on will get it. We know you have your personal agenda with the QDMA.

Cant agree with you more Bubba

Nice yote

I have to agree with Culver, since I have been associated and active with the QDMA, I have seen less and less about focusing on big antlers only, and more and more about good land management that benefits alot more than just big bucks. Lots of info and research on keeping a good diversity of natural vegetation on your property, removing invasive species, enhancing cover, predator control, etc etc. The youth aspects and focus on our hunting heritage is HUGE with the organization. Sure, theres lots of info on food plots, and quality bucks, but the organization is about so much more, it isnt even funny. Its ok, you guys can hate on them all you want, but the fact of the matter is, no other deer hunting organization has, or continues to do more for every single sportsman (not just deer hunter) out there, every day.

"But they will never come for my hunting rifle or shotgun....." Yep, sure they wont....

No, Ill see if I can find it

Lots of reading for ya... http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/search?term=gun

Then theres this beauty.... http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S805-2013 I know its from last year, but its sure to pop up again

Nope, pending legislation will allow the Superintendent of the NYSP to ban by manufacturer, name, etc at his discretion. Its a position appointed by you know who, so by proxy, Cuomo will tell you whats banned, and it wont have anything to do with features.

Theres already legislation waiting to be voted on. Better not shuffle your feet.

I saw the ads for this before it was given away. It had the compliant stock on it. There was a thread or two posted here about it.

Gotcha. Yeah they are cheap. If you need the saddle mount it will cost more.

Scope mounting bracket? Are you talking about the rings or bases? If you mean the rings, they should fit, if you are talking the base(s), youll have to see if they are interchangeable between the two guns. Honestly, bases are so cheap, why bother taking them off of the other gun? Just get a set for the 500, youre talking less than $10, unless your receiver isnt tapped, then youll need one of the saddle mounts.

Does what buck need a tag? The dead head?
