    From The DEC

    From what I understood from the California ban that went into complete affect this year per the NRA's magazine American hunter this month, you can still use them for target practice, or sighting in your weapon .

    Yea but wtf do I do with the stock up of lead slugs and  bullets  I already have bought over the years

    I use 32 GB cards average from 300 to 1000 pics/2 min movies in a week.

    What I found I needed to do was set the reset time between pucs/movies to 5 minutes and it has dropped the amount of same deer/bear/turkey pics

    This I agree with completely.

    My dad is 81 and shot a 6 point last year, that we gutted , dragged, and cut up for him, very rewarding, his last deer shot was 20 years ago.

    Another big one for me is get my dad a deer.used to hunt all the time(who i started out hunting with).got out of it a bit and got him back on board last year.seeing him get a deer would make my 2019 season

    Why not use a Laser Range Finder

    Haha. I will shoot probably 5 or 6 out of the next 9 weekends. I will surely be ready by 10/1. I think my practice is an idea everyone should try. I get in my hunting blind and have my dad keep moving the target around. I don't rangefind the target but rather aim a little low or high based on my guesstimate (I'm sighted in with 1 pin at 25yds). This is about as realistic to an actual hunt as it gets. It forces me to shoot from weird positions and odd distances.

    Small Late Food Plot

    Pictures of the smaller disc would be great please

    Someone asked about what to do for one of these in the "General Chit-Chat" section.   While out brush-hogging today, I opened up a "hidden 1/4 acre" by a ladder stand, near the front of our farm, so I gave it a go.  It took about an hour to find the 2-bottom plow, hook it up to my Ford 8N, get the sod turned over, and return the plow to its winter storage condition (greased the three fittings and coated the blades with used motor oil).   In a few weeks, I will get that plot disked and ready to plant with a mix of wheat, soybeans, and white clover, at the same time that I plant another 1 acre spot that is way out back.   A side benefit is that this gives me an excuse to use a small (6.5 ft 3-point) disk that I had not used yet this year and make sure that it is properly prepared for winter storage (that will take a full tube of grease).   It fits perfect on the 8n.    I used my wider, pull-type disk on the larger plot, but that one don't work so well on small plots, plus it is already greased up and ready for winter.

    Did the orange tail help the hawk pick him out?

    I went with the Havaheart trap for a few seasons .... Until I decided to mark a little fella with Orange paint ( the kind they mark roads with ) and I used to drop them off a mile up the road and across the street by the power line , next day I caught the same little Orange Tailed Chipmonk .  Well I took him/her for a ride to the local Price Chopper parking lot and let him go in the middle of it and sure enough a Hawk swoops done and grabs him for lunch .... Gotta Love Nature !

    How Many Rounds in Magazine

    in Guns and Rifles and Discussions

    Posted

    That would be great if it went to SCOTUS, but doubtful they will taking it.

    Originally they tried to ban the ownership of 10 round magazines all together. When they found out no one manufactures 7 round magazines they limited the amount that can be in a 10 round magazine to 7 unless you are at a range. I doubt it is ever enforced but who knows. To be on the "safe" side I carry 7.
    A few days ago, a judge in NY upheld the NY Safe Act as constitutional, except for the 7 round magazine limit.
    "Governor Andrew Cuomo stated in a video that the ruling is now law, meaning that a citizen of NY with a pistol permit may now carry up to 10 rounds in their magazine again unless the ruling is overturned down the road. At least that is our interpretation of his comment.The federal judge in Buffalo last Tuesday ruled that most of the so-called SAFE Act adopted a year ago is constitutional, rejecting most of the arguments made by gun-rights groups in their lawsuit against the state. The judge, however, said the state’s seven-bullet limit in a magazine is “arbitrary” and shot it down.Now the sides are planning appeals.

    “It’s going to be appealed. I think it was good the law was upheld. But I’m sure there are going to be appeals,” Cuomo, the former state attorney general, told reporters.

    Cuomo said he believes the seven-bullet limit would be restored on appeal. The law only allows seven bullets to be loaded in a 10-bullet magazine. He said the state had a 10-bullet limit before last year’s law, and New York City has a five-bullet limit for some firearms, he said.

    “If you’re going to throw out this limit, you are going to have to throw out all the limits,” Cuomo said.

    Still, Cuomo indicated that the judge’s ruling on the seven-bullet limit is now the law, unless it overturned. The case may make its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    Height for windows in raised deer blind?

    in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM

    Posted

    I build the floor, the roof, and then 4 sides, put it all together at my camp. Then take it apart and pack it up on a trailer. Then I take them all to the woods apart, then put them together using lag bolts, sturdy as all get out. I put a different color of spray paint inside each corner so I know what goes with what. I have helped my dad make 4 of them in the last 10 years, 5 foot by 5 foot.

    They eat ANY Plywood. We trapped and killed 21 porcupines in 2017. 12 in 2018. They destroyed the sheathing on 2 of the blinds. The problem with using plank is that it is real heavy if you want to be able to build in removable sections.

    My only disagreement is with using regular plywood. Where I am, Sullivan county, the porcupines eat that like it is a buffet line, they get high on the glue.

    I use 1 x 10 pine planks cut from the local sawmill, nothing eats them, they last forever, and they weather great.

    If you are going to build more of them in the future, you may want to scrap using treated 2x4 for framing with the exception of the sill plate. Much heavier than regular 2 x 4 and since I have used both, neither is holding up better than the other. I stained the interior and they are like new AND mine are open to weather all year. The savings in lumber is huge. I have also build 2 using 2 x 3's.....lighter.....and hold up just fine. I even used plain CDX plywood sheathing on 2 of them and they are fine. I roll on stain every 3 years or so and they held up great. HUGE cost savings if you want to build several of them.

    What's for dinner tonight?

    in Game Recipes / Cooking

    Posted

    Pork roast wrapped in bacon, cooked in the crockpot for 6 hours in a Rasberry Chipotle barbecue sauce, and chunks of pineapple.

    Should end up to be one of the best pulled pork roasts I made, doubt I'll have any leftovers after my son and his family come over for dinner.dc7603d8d18c6d767bc3c7f449ae97c8.jpg
