Because you're always following me around making comments Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you don't like it, you can leave! Try bowsite forum, lots of guided hunts to read about there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now I'm a troll? Lol. I have thousands of posts and the majority of them aren't arguing with jealous guys, like you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

By the way, in several places it's illegal to hunt without a guide with you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have nothing against people hunting from a tree. To each their own. How others hunt doesn't affect me. I pay for guides when I need them. I don't have dogs to hunt cats with. In other instances, id rather spend a little more $ and have better success rates in 5 days than trying to DIY and spending more days and have less chances. Maybe when in retired I'll do more DIY hunts, but right now I can only take a week off at time from work. Everybody values their time differently, I would never drive more than a few hours so I'll spend the $ to fly. I'll spend the $ for my meals and lodging as opposed to camping. I'll spend the $ to get steered in the right direction on where to hunt. I've been on several unsuccessful hunts, I try to pick n choose outfitters wisely. Lastly, I've never paid full price for any hunt. Everything is negotiable, and I always work out a discount or additional days for free, etc. I've been on hunts that work out to be cheaper than a DIY. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've killed 6 whitetail bucks from the ground without a blind Mule deer are stupid? haha. Better sense of smell that a whitetail, that's for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

By the way, the guy at the range is a worker there. Not trying to do anything illegal to save a few bucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe your right , but based on what I read on this forum it appears almost everyone hides in a tree Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never heard that before. If your trying to make a diss towards me, it's not true. I've hunted multiple states and 2 Canadian provinces without a guide. Have you hunted out of state? Better yet, have you ever been outside of NY? What about your town, have you ever seen another town? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree. Except you and 99% of other compound hunters never hunt from the ground, so the true comparison is irrelevant. I can probably count on 1 hand the amount of compound kills on the site that were done on the ground with no blind. Bowhunters outside of NY laugh at the fact that guys need to sit in trees to kill animals Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

$30 a pop for a string isn't bad though. Never need to visit a bowshop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a lot of shots. I change my string every 2 years just to play it safe. That's probably only 100 shots or so. A string is like $30 and free to change, so I don't mess around with one with frays Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It won't decrease Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

+1. I have the vortex since 2011. It is 200lb which is NY max. My Dad has the 175lb Ibex. Excaliburs customer service is great and you can change strings yourself etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not so fast. Xbow hunters will shoot the deer on public land or other parcels of land before they ever reach your private land. I doubt you will even see a deer this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, both from the ground with no blind, the compound is tougher than an xbow. I'm against tree stands, it's boring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Taking a deer with a compound from a tree stand is easier than a crossbow from the ground with no blind Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks cool! You can get a clear plastic case for the skull so you never have to dust it etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You will be banned now. I got banned for using a curse word from the movie 8 mile Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw some law about $10max charge. Guess that's just the transfer part of it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys, and the ffl can only charge $10, is that correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've said it once and I'll say it again. A crossbow has an advantage over a compound when both are used from a tree stand. But crossbow hunting from the ground without a blind is much tougher than compound hunting from a tree. Almost all NY compound hunters hide in a tree for an advantage and this is why compound hunters from others parts of the USA laugh at this style of hunting because they do everything spot and stalk. There are definitely some compound hunters on this site who could kill an animal spot and stalk style, but he majority would stand no chance. Might be time to learn new techniques or you might be watching xbow hunters walking under your tree stand instead of deer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
