I bought a brand new S&W .357 mag recently. They included 1 used shell.

Looks like good quality work. Congrats.

Another stupid comment. $1.5MM (not including flights, licenses, taxidermy, gratuities) it would cost you at $4k per hunt per day. So definitely well over $2MM. But you wouldn't be able to keep up and never get a shot anyway. I do find it flattering though how you barely have any posts but have gone back and read my hunting stories from months ago.

Correct. I have talked to many mountain lion outfitters and none of them say that lions put deer kills in trees. Every deer kill they ever come across is on the ground, sometimes partially buried.

+1. The people doing the identifying are anything but outdoorsmen. Yes, the greenwich lion was documented and nobody has proof of one since. I know a few people who saw flamingo's in greenwich, so does that mean they are there? What would me getting a lion in Arizona have to do with my original comment? I said they are morons because they have no idea what they are identifying, not because I shot a lion. Your comment doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You just sound like an 11-post jealous guy.

Nostradamus predicted the following in 1563: "4,5,0 til man hunt racked cow en Neuva York with crossbow next to man with bow" I translate the above to mean: "450 years until crossbows are allowed in archery season in NY"

Another bogus lion sighting report. These people are morons. Every bobcat, coyote, big dog, etc that is spotted; People cry "Mountain Lion" PURCHASE — Deep in the heart of estate country, among the mansions, country clubs and schools of Purchase, lurks, maybe, a lone predator with an insatiable appetite for squirrels, raccoons and other small mammals. Twice last week, as the long shadows of dusk stretched across the Sarosca Farms subdivision, workers spotted what they thought was a mountain lion. Word of the beast’s appearance in the otherwise tame fields of Harrison reached town Supervisor Ron Belmont, who included a note about the sightings in his Jan. 14 letter to residents. After assuring his constituents that the Police Department was “tracking the time and location of each sighting,” Belmont wrote: “Please proceed with caution, supervising young children and small animals and avoid unlit areas in your neighborhood.” Belmont has since visited the site, a development with several large homes and many more cleared lots evenly spaced along Stone Bridge Road near the Old Oaks Country Club, but hasn’t seen any hint of a massive cat. Whatever the workers saw, he said, was “very big” with no spots. He said someone snapped a photograph of a paw print; it turned out to have been made by a dog. “I’m starting to think it’s not there,” Belmont said today. The state Department of Environmental Conservation says mountain lions — aka cougars, catamounts, panthers — were extirpated from the Northeast in the late 1800s. That hasn’t stopped reported sightings. Occasionally a rogue cat materializes. In 2011, a mountain lion was run over in Connecticut; officials determined it had roamed east from South Dakota. And in 2009, Orangetown hired trackers to make sense of a string of big-cat sightings and claw marks found in Palisades. No lion ever surfaced. The DEC received a third-party report of a mountain lion sighting in Harrison earlier this week, said spokeswoman Wendy Rosenbach, but no agents had been dispatched to investigate. Asked about the likelihood that what the workers had seen was, in fact, a mountain lion, Rosenbach said, “We don’t have any evidence of any reproducing populations of mountain lions or cougars in New York state.” Pressed further and asked if it were possible that a mountain lion could be prowling through Purchase, she replied, “Probably not.” Rosenbach advised those who think they might have spotted an unusual animal to call the DEC’s wildlife hotline at 845-256-3098, and reminded New Yorkers to “enjoy wildlife from a distance.” For the time being, the Purchase panther remains little more than a specter, perhaps slinking among a handful of newly built 7,000-square-foot, five-bedroom homes and empty lots; perhaps simply mistaken for a dog. A visitor to the subdivision this morning found neither the cat nor the workers who reported seeing it.

got it, thanks. read it too quick.

It sucks what is happening, but come on man. Nobody is shutting down hunting and/or fishing anytime soon.

No way am I giving up hunting or fishing for a year.

There is no point in mountain lion discussions on forums in NY unless you got a real picture. Someone on a fishing forum I'm a member of posted of pic of a lion on a deer kill taken by trail camera in dutchess county. It took less than 3 minutes to find the same pic on Texas hunting forums, etc. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

I hope everyone in my area boycotts, so I can hunt alone! Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Oh ok. Yea, I probably only took around 50 shots over the last 2 years. I keep the xbow indoors, etc.

I have the excal vortex for 2 years. Never had to change the string. It's really accurate out to 50yards. Haven't tried past that. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

This is just a return to the same percentage it was prior to 2011. Consider the interim as a bonus.
