  1. Not me. I'm not not getting the shot.;)
  2. Awesome! Fantastic job.. I like the Roman nose. Was he aged?
  3. It is crazy. This wearing a mask afterwords is pure bs. If they made it so you didn't have to wear a mask. Most everybody would be vaccinated quickly. Every person that I know that is not going to get the shots would if they changed that rule.
  4. As crazy as it sounds I think this is the answer. Just look at the "war" on drugs. How well has it worked? It's time we stopped smacking our head against the wall and put our resources into better bets. Education, jobs, etc... I don't pretend to know all the answers, but it is pretty obvious what we are doing doesn't work.
  5. Definitely a sellers market right now. Normally a dealer isn't going to pay much. You would be lucky to get trade in value. It wouldn't surprise me if they are willing to pay a higher price at the moment. Trucks are hard to come by. Trucks at dealers are sparse.
  6. Jeesh ! You guys might shame me onto brushhogging my yard 2 times this year..
  7. Planning a muzzleloader Elk hunt in colorado. 1st elk hunt for both of us. We have a semi remote cabin rented , but plan on having supplies to stay out 2-3 days at a time. I'm picturing areas that we may want to hunt that we don't want to walk back out of daily. It definitely is going to be a learning experience.
  8. I didn't care for history in school, but find it quite fascinating now. It is pretty cool wandering around the woods and seeing signs of settlements or homes from decades if not 100s of years ago.. The Berkshire hills stripped of timber to turn into charcoal. Or signs of an old town, field, or vineyard in Letchworth. Pretty neat to try to picture what it looked like then.
  9. Nice! It is surprising the # of deer that cross the river regularly..
  10. I would. Probably use my 22-250(smallest I have). I don't turkey hunt , because of top many other hobbies taking up that time. I like turkey though, and would pop 1 or 2 with a rifle to put in the freezer.
  11. My method has always been quite simple. 3/8 sinker on bottom. 1 hook 1-1.5' feet up and another 2-2.5' feet up. Thread some night crawlers on. Set pole in the Y branch and wait. Set the hook on the bob. When they are biting good 2 at a time is not uncommon. I know some like to fish at night but my best times fishing are the nice sunny 60° days. Mainly I fish the shallow back bays and channels off the local rivers . I havnt done much bullhead fishing in a few years, but they ought to be biting now.
  12. Ha. Ha. ;). That hurt, now you ought to be ashamed reverting to name calling. I do love cupcakes though !! BTW. I'm all for those, who cannot physically use a bow, using a crossbow.
  13. I've always gotten muzzleloader and bow tags, so I'm not sure what tag you would get if you only buy 1 privilege. The muzzleloader/archery tags (antlerless and either sex )are good for muzzleloader and archery season. When legal to carry a crossbow you would use these tags. Only regular season tags and DMPs can be used during regular season.. Archery/ muzzleloader, DMPs,and regular season tags can be used in late muzzleloader seasons.. There are a few differences for junior seasons,long Island, etc.. Here is the DEC link https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8305.html
  14. 1st of all I will preface this by saying I agree with most of your views I've seen posted.. I hate participating in these debates , because it pretty much rehashing the sames old stuff. Whenever I have proposed that we compromise, it seems to get glossed over.. Why not compromise? A couple weeks of regular archery and then crossbow. Boom! Everybody is 1/2 happy.lol I know in the northern zone the last week of our short bow season is open for muzzleloader. This has totally changed our hunting experience. Once the # of hunters hit the woods archery becomes way more difficult. I don't have problems killing a deer, regardless. So it doesn't make a big difference to me. I just hate to see another semi " traditional " hunting method disappear. The day will come when a compound is just as rare as a recurve or long bow.
  15. It's funny how different officers will interpret the law. I remember reading some of the case that is referenced by the DEC in my link. Because of the ruling the fisherman could boat down the river, but could not anchor or walk the river, Except to Portage. In fact the land owner owned the river bottom. I had done my research for some whitewater kayaking, and it pretty much came down to run it at your own risk and fight it out in court.. lol
  16. Go to your counties website. Go to real property..Depending upon the County they may have online tax maps or web portals. Our County had a good one until they updated it . Now it sucks.
  17. This covers it ..Mostly.. https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/118441.html
  18. I would have to disagree. For the methods these sick individuals use , a regular old shotgun with standard turkey loads would be more effective. Advantages of an AR show up more when you are under fire and this rarely happens in these shooter situations .When it does it usually ends pretty quickly. Imo they use ARs because of how they are portrayed in the media not because of any real advantage.
  19. I'm guessing it's mostly in your follow through and or not settling in on the target well. As soon as you pull the trigger you may be loosing your form, letting the tension in your holding arm pull the bow.. Try not holding on the target for as long . Less concentration more relaxation..lol
  20. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆¤¤¤¤¤♤♤ NOICE!
  21. Ha. ha. I see what you did there.lol
