    Ha. ha. ha . Love it! I guess you can call me Billy Bob . I seem to have more in common with him, except I don't smoke and have a few more than 2 nice bucks .

    Chances are. Often they are issues you wouldn't see without living with them though. Like doors not closing properly depending on the season and poor efficiencies.

    Not necessarily true. A shallower, properly haunched slab with both vertical and horizontal insulation works well and has been used extensively in more northerly climates than NY. Most code enforcement officers will not recognize this without proper architectural prints though. I believe the code says more or less , that the "foundation/ slab needs to be free from the effects of frost" I like/agree 100% with everything else you stated..

    I can't find the picture but I had one of these guys on my dock for close to an hour trying to swallow a bluegill. She looked like a cobra for a while before she got it down further..lol Our lake is full of them and more times than not 1 scare one away from the dock when I go out. . One of these days one is going to end up in my boat and will be it's proud new owner after I abandon ship and swim to shore..;)

    Crude drawing of an oxbow in a river and the land it borders..

    Absolutely!! The other day, I was sitting @camp with my feet up visiting with friends and watching the loons swim by. In the background you can hear the explosions and high caliber automatic weapon fire from practice at Fort Drum. Besides everything else we have to be thankful for , we are blessed that we don't worry the noise is getting closer, or have to hide when you hear the load roar of low flying jets or helicopters fly by .

    Yes, and the end of gun hunting on state parks. Like my 2 week trip every year to Letchworth sp.

    Brings back some good memories. We fished a small northern ADK lake for native brookies using this method for years. Caught a lot of fish.!

    Most likely an ejector problem. Other than returning it under warranty , some guys were prying/bending the ejector a little bit with success. Doesn't seem recomended on a new gun though.

    That sucks! I had not heard of the victory before your posts the other day. I'm hoping to be in the market for a new pistol soon so I did a little research. 1st reviews I read talked about this problem. I will see if I can find them again..

    I don't see why not. Everybody gets something different out of hunting.. Wether someone chooses to one way or the other is up to them. I've thought at different times maybe I would pop one of my backyard does. Wouldn't be hunting for me, just a short trip to the grocery..

    You are a little twisted, wolc. Anybody else you want to thank Jesus for killing?
  14. ncountry
    Probably not. lol. I have had lots of does and small bucks in the back yard(in the middle of the woods) that I threatened to shoot during those years that deer were hard to come by. I havn't yet , so I don't think I would.. But ,I never say never .

    Jeesh! I heard you the 1st time.;)

    That is one good thing about the system we have , as dysfunctional as it is. In reality not a lot changes very quickly. Imagine the seasawing we would have when we went from one party having all the power and then the other.

    I worked witha guy who was actively involved with some of the carp tournaments up here. He had recently moved here from the UK and was floored to learn that we shot them with bows and would throw them away.. This was 20 years ago or so and it doesn't seem like there are many (if any?) local bow shoots for carp anymore? I remember all the boats with the elevated shooting platforms. There are a lot of people with 10' rods fishing them now though.. Funny how we viewed them as garbage and they treasured them.

    You are not a dummy. Don't act like it.. And you are not alone.

    If you guys cannot have a discussion without getting crude and personal , you should keep your fingers off the keyboards.

    We have talked about it for 20 years, and at 50 we decided we were going last year. Wish we had started 20 years ago. At least built up some preference points.. We will see, but am hoping to go every year for a while..

    Those are my thoughts as well. Even though I don't like the concept of abortions at all. I think if I was a woman I wouldn't even dream of it except possibly for under the worse conditions. Being that I'm not a woman I'll keep my opinion out of it.. I also don't think some of the scumbag/idiots who live down the rd should own guns either, but I guess since I'm not king I'll keep my nose out of that too..

    1st job off our small farm was for a local farmer @ 13 years old. Picking stones in the spring and haying . I remember working 60 hrs @$3/ and feeling rich.. Had a paper route in the fall for a couple years as soon as I got my working papers. I would ride my bike the 8 miles to school so I could do it after school. 35+ yrs later I still remember the rte. lol... especially the one sorority house..

    Looks like everybody nailed the descriptions. I definitely would pur a camera or 2 up. Oxbow can be sweet setups. I know of a few that are prime buck bedding territory.. Carefull going in during the season, no matter what the river looks like they will cross it in a second. I've driven more nice bucks out of oxbows than I've ever shot. Live and learn. .lol

    2nd draw opened Tuesday in Colorado. We applied for the same unit we didn't draw the 1st time.. Somehow there is around 60 tags available..I was surprised that that many people didn't pay for or chose not to take the tags they drew.

    I see alot of great advise! If your spot is limited in size bevespecially carefully not to over- hunt a great spot. A great funnel is a great funnel as long as the deer feel safe using it. Especially during the rut. It doesn't matter if it's right next to the rd. I find more than 1/2 the battle is is patterning the people on state land. Everybody else is reading the same books.lol
