    A .22 is. A .22-250 is not. He said .22 centerfire, not .22.

    I think the key is energy. Kinetic energy is 1/2*mass*velocity^2. You can't compare smaller, faster rifle rounds to a bigger, slower shotgun rounds because the velocity is so much higher in rifles that the energy they provide is leaps and bounds ahead of a slug. Muzzle energy for a .410 Remington 87.5gr is 704.3 ft-lb Muzzle energy for a .223 Hornaday 55gr is 1282 ft-lb. Therein lies why a .223, or any rifle, is better than a .410. Energy. At 200 yds, the .223 still has more energy than the .410 does at the muzzle.

    Maybe I'm just heartless, but this certainly seems like Darwin got in on the act. If you can't swing, why in the world would you go out in a boat, much less a tippy canoe, without a life jacket? I mean seriously, come on! Add to it the fact that state law requires a floatation device for everyone on the boat.

    I've only got my 03 Ranger. It's got the 4.0L 6 and towing package. I'm good to about 5200lbs. I wired up the electric brake controller so I could tow my camper. It's not going to win and races, but it got me up to the 1000 islands with the cruise set at 65mph. My father-in-law also uses it to haul his boat around (about 4800lbs), but those are now short trips at the river, after he hauled it up there from Sodus Bay.

    I've got an old ('96) 23' Prowler that my parents gave my wife and I as a wedding present. We took it up to the Thousand Islands last year as OUR place to stay, rather than bunking with her parents. It was really nice, but at the end of last year, we found out that the heath department cited the new owners for allowing it. Now we have to sell it. Anyone interested, or know someone that is?

    Hey Skyz, I finally renewed my flickr subscription, and could get to my pictures. http://www.flickr.com/photos/48977044@N00/sets/72157604502625022/ Those are from the one day out at your track.

    I learned that day that my quad is grossly undersprung for how hard I was riding it. I've been watching fleabay for an 01 Rappy shock to replace the stocker with. Someday....

    I've got the 03 Warrior. I came out and did a track cleanup once. I think it was the last year you had the track.
  9. camper4lyfe
    Oh yeah. I've been out to your place before to ride, though it was only once.

    Are you talking private clubs?
  11. camper4lyfe
    I grew up 'around the corner' from the club, on the Avon/village end of Pole Bridge. I remember going there as a kid in cub scouts with John Dubois, as part of a hike/shoot thing. The last time I drove past, the sign was still up, though I never really paid much attention to it.
  12. camper4lyfe
    I've got a hankerin' to do some shooting, but I don't know where to go. I've found a few places that have handgun, shotgun, and rimfire only, as well as the Genesee Conservation League, which has a decent rifle range, but it's a bit expensive. I'm wondering if I'm missing any clubs, or if there are any public ranges around that I don't know of/can't find via Google. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Went out on Honeoye Saturday. Hit the ice out in front of Trident, and landed 3 pickerel and a bunch of small perch. We weren't out deep enough to catch big perch, but we mostly jig just to kill time between flags.

    Thank you kindly, everyone.
  15. camper4lyfe
    I know, right?
  16. camper4lyfe
    Wow! That must have been fun to catch!

    You can't make this stuff up. http://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/index.ssf/2011/01/woman_from_fruitport_allegedly.html?_inv_out=2765&_inv_cp=539539

    It's generally PB&J in my pack, and maybe a couple nutri-grain bars. I'll leave a more substantial lunch in my truck and take a break in the middle of the day. I usually get bored and sore around 10am, anyway, so I'm up and moving around lunch time.

    where abouts in the st lawrence may I ask. Just curious cuz the st lawrence is in my back yard. We're between Clayton and the TI bridge. We have a place at Roosevelt Cottages and Trailer Park.

    The heaviest 22-250 bullet I've found so far is 64 grain. I'm thinking that's not enough for deer.

    My wife and I went deep sea fishing on our honeymoon in Cozumel. It was fun, but sadly it was the wrong season for just about everything (middle of July). We ended up catching 2 baracuda and 2 red snapper. They were all in the 30" range, so nothing to wring home about, but it was still a lot of fun.

    Perch is a VERY mild fish, but as with any fish, the taste depends greatly on the water they come out of. Up in the 1000 Islands, the water's really clean, so they taste quite "clean" and good. I wouldn't eat it if it wasn't mild. The bass in my profile picture was caught up in the Adirondacks (drawing a blank on which lake right now), and it tasted horribly dirty. Conversely, my wife caught a couple nice bass up in the islands, and I fried them up and they tasted GREAT. Same type of fish, different water, different taste.

    He's only got his .30-.30 that he just recently got because of the change in firearms permitted. I am attached to the 22-250, though I'm not completely attached to using it for deer. It was just an Idea that I'd been throwing around, trying to decide if it was appropriate.
  24. camper4lyfe
    That's not an option for me, as I already have the .22-250, and don't have the money to justify a rifle I'd only use once or twice a year I can't argue with that logic. That points to me sticking with the slug slinger.
  25. camper4lyfe
    I agree. I got my first deer with my brother-in-law's 870. He got his first deer with it. At least 1, if not 2 or 3 of his Marine buddies also got their first deer with it. I went out and got one of my own, and the thing's, for the lack of a better term, bullet proof. There's suck a large aftermarket for them, that you can do just about anything with it.
