Having hunting privet land all my life, if I was forced to only hunt state lands, I would definitely stop hunting.  Fortunately, I own just enough land that I can shoot a deer or two each yr.

 

I really need to commended those that only have public lands to hunt.  I couldn't do it.  Kudos to those that do.  

Not everyone that hunts  state land is poor I know few people that are loaded and only hunt it they could buy hundreds of acres if the wanted to .

I guess there are degrees to how much you love deer hunting for different people some like it just  enough to hunt public land  not enough to buy  lease or do favors to hunt private.  

Or other reasons like enjoying the trail system and many different wilderness  areas  this state has to offer .

Then  it all depends if you really need the meat or just in it for the experience the thrill of the chase , Everyone is different .

[Huge black bear]

I don’t know NonTypical too well. Are you saying the score without the abnormal points- stickers, split G2 etc.? If so, Not a booner (170” mainframe). I’ll say 165-168” mainframe

I know that spot! Great pheasant hideouts after the dec release weekend and birds get pushed around. First deer I ever shot at (and whiffed!) was from those woods. First successful kill came from there too. Maybe that explains the twitch!

Did you walk 23 miles in the snow that day ?  That's how you get the big one over there I here  .  

 

 

[2019 Lawn Thread]

Really I would imagine a guy who tracks deer for 23 miles in day in snow over mountains and rivers would  mow grass all year long just as training for that . 

[Cabela’s bait and switch]

Complain to the manager usually they have discretion ask for a discount at least .  Or gift card coupons  Exedra usually they can do something for you.

Whatever gun you get, make sure to use the BH 209 powder so you won't have corrosion issues.  The firing pin on my T/C Omega 50 cal is bound up right now and I have only used loose pyrodex and 777 pellets (last 3 years) in it.   If I can not free it up by ML season, I will use my Barnett recruit crossbow instead.  I just picked up some new NAP, 100 gr, mechanical broadheads "just in case".   

I only have one question do most  rifle ranges let you site  them in  there ?  

[Isla del Encanto]

That would be kind of cool go to the  beach  then hunting and I bet they taste like chicken .

That's awesome. 

[The Official Haven't Killed a Buck Thread]

Nope way upstate when I  was up there few days back  I saw one at least  but couldn't make out how many points and it walked  off in the distance   so I didn't take a shot .

Near home have not seen a thing not even  the white tale of a deer running off in the distance yet .

Had good time anyways.

Not good! Lead is right up there with Mercury as far as possible Brain Damage. Mercury was used by Hat Makers at one time. That is where the expression-- Mad Hatter comes from.

 

Yea I know glad I looked it up before going there yikes .

Always  check the  regulations  at any of these public lands you just never know what was there before . 

[Would you hunt state land with warnings like this .]

Happend  to see this particular state land  on   the way back from hunting farther up state  the other day when I went to look it up  online it  said this .

 

 

As a result of historic mining operations in the unit, four distinct surface deposits of mine tailings remain on the property. Together these piles comprise approximately 2 acres and contain elevated levels of lead. In accordance with Environmental Conservation Law (ECL), Section 03-0301, DEC prohibits public use of the areas affected by historic mining operations that include exposed mine tailings and surface waters emanating from the mine shafts by establishing Restricted Areas and posting signage at these locations. DEC Fact Sheet (PDF) provides more information on lead contamination at  ******** State Forest and safety information.

 

No one should enter the posted Restricted Areas, including children and pets.Users of the unrestricted portions of the property should not drink, and not filter and drink any surface water they encounter in the vicinity of the mined areas.Users of the unrestricted portions of the property should make sure to wash their hands and the hands of children thoroughly with uncontaminated water before eating, drinking or smoking during or after a visit to this property.Shoes/boots and pets should be thoroughly cleaned prior to bringing them indoors.

All thanks to 007......

Maybe it’s time the mods had a talk with him.  

Nice try but I started no argument with anyone  .

The gun shoots good  out to 50 yards . That's all I know  And this is after just shooting about 30 rounds  of bird shot just to check if it was coming apart . Or would  change point of aim .

I'm searching for iron sites that I'm going to order first then find a gunsmith to drill and tap it for me  Anyway. 

So it's pointless to keep telling me things I already know .  

Shooting 3 inch rem sluggers  btw
