Its my opinion, of course I think highly of it lmao. Believe me, I know my stuff stinks, and alot of people dont agree with my opinion. Nothing wrong with that. You need to look in the mirror when you talk about people that think their stuff dont stink. BTW, I say there is no opinion on hunter numbers meaning the number of hunters that are out there is a fact, not an opinion. Maybe we meant different things, but thats what I was talking about. I wasnt trying to say anything about your opinion on what a good number of hunters is. And my last comment in that post is basically saying you are kidding yourself in not believing the threat to our sport exists. Take it how you want to, I dont care.

Agreed, go through the wiring now as well. All of the wiring, not just the engine. If any connectors are not shrink wrapped, do it. Remove any and all scotch locks and solder the connections, then shrink wrap them. Electrical and water dont mix well, so you need to be anal about waterproofing it as much as you can. Its tedious, but worth it.

In 4 more days the SAFE act lawsuit hits the courts. We will see what happens soon enough.

The first mention of an OMC outdrive makes me cringe. Ive passed some deals on boats because they had them. Good luck with that!

Congrats to the winners and thumbs up to letinmfly for his generosity!

"I'd rather there be less hunters and for hunting to stay the same, then for us to bend over and change how we do things to incentivize the younger attention span deprived generations into joining the sport." Well, see, thats something we will not agree upon. I do not want to see this sport weakened to the point where the antis get their way, or we become like many places in Europe where you can only hunt private reserves. I do not see the addition of a special season here or another form of what boils down to the same type of weapon there as bad things. I am willing to adapt to make sure that the sport continues for all of us, and future generations, not just myself. I want to see the younger generations brought into the fold more than they are now, and help them see the benefits of getting their eyes off of a video game screen. I do not believe it is their fault for being lazy, or not getting outside, its their parents that are too consumed with themselves that are at fault. They learn from what they see and are taught. I see anyone not willing to bend for their own benefit as greedy and short sighted. Sorry if you dont like it, but I will call people on it when I see it. I know about the population loss in NY, and it still doesnt change the fact that I see a loss of 200K hunters as significant. BTW, theres no "opinion" on hunter numbers, they are what they are. They may not be dead on, but they are pretty close, and the kind of loss we are seeing is happening. "What did all the anti-gun people say when they made their pitch? We are not going after hunters. Why? because they realize hunting is a part of our history. That it is necessary to control populations. I think PETA would rather fight the killing of whales by the Japanesse then the upstate NY deer hunter." No, they said that because they mistakenly thought people that arent into guns would go along with it, they tried to soften the blow, and they were dead wrong, just like you are about it. You can buy into that nonsense all you want, doesnt make it correct.

I saw a shoe, an ugly shoe at that.

I dont think this guy has much info. His older brother seemed to be the really radical one who may have known something. Seems to me this younger one was probably just going along with his brother, not that that excuses him from anything, he still deserves to be dead.

agreed. Yep, pig just flew by....

Great video and congrats on the turkey!

So a loss of @ 200,000 hunters since 1980 is menial? Remember, those numbers are based on license sales, and you have to buy a regular season license to bow hunt, so bow hunters are included in those numbers.

No matter how you put it, its nothing a kid should be arrested for. We had our share of people that had no respect for teachers, but you never once saw a cop in the building over something like this. Id like to see the video of the event so that both sides of the story could be seen, but it surely doesnt sound to me like anything a kid should be arrested for, if all he did was to refuse to take the shirt off or debate his right to wear it. The cop saying he almost incited a riot is over the top, and puts the exclamation that it was most likely an overreaction by the school, similar to the kids being booted from school for gun shaped pop tarts and the like.

I think that the problem hes suggesting is kind of like mercury in fish, where the lead is ingested by the bird, and therefore in the meat. Is that what you mean apoallo?

If you want to enter letinmfly's contest, hurry up, the deadline is tonight!

No, longest spur. Look at post #5 on this thread, its exactly the type of entry I am looking for. http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/9610-team-3-team-turkeythugs/

or Belos gonna say something dumb.... It has nothing to do with me being a "hater", you just cant admit to it when youre wrong.

Yes, take the kid to the principals office, removing him from the situation. Its still not a reason to call the cops or have him arrested if the rules stated no guns on tshirts, as you suggested. BTW, I didnt miss the rest of your post. I agree with the rest of it, just not the part that I pointed out.

All contest cards are in your threads. Good luck everyone!
