    Licenses and DMPs avail starting 8/10

    I can't get the online system to work.  Everything goes fine till I go to "check out" , then nothing.  The Continue button doesn't do anything. 

    Maybe I'll try at work tomorrow with a bit more modern up to date computer/browser. 

     

    ETA:  Never mind, figured it out. It won't let you go on until you click "Not today" on the begging for donations options.

    That's the problem, they're like a range bag or a camera bag, you keep adding things to them until they're so heavy you don't want to bring them.  Add in tackle, anchor, battery (to power my fish finder and bilge pump) and whatever else, and it gets heavy.  Mine's a 14 footer.  But I'm 6'4" , 240-280 depending, so now little light cheap yak is going to work for me.  

     

    Mine is a Malibu Stealth-14

    I used to go fishing with a friend who had a "cheap" Field and Stream sit in. An hour or two into it he'd be miserable. 

    With my sit on top I can move around, cross my legs, sit sideways with my feet in the water, even lay down and take a nap.

    Hey now you don't know if he had a custom super bh in the 41 mag ..... just saying . 

    It still wouldn't really be a SBH. :D  

    (the 454's and 480's aren't either, I don't care what stupid new Ruger stamps on them) ;) 

     

     

    I've shot a .41 Ti Trackers and .454 Raging Bulls, and while those guns were okay at that time lol, I don't trust them and wouldn't buy em.

    Yes I have a Super Blackhawk chambered in a .41 caliber 

    Ohhhh... ohhhh...  let me be THAT GUY!  :rolleyes:

    No ya don't? lol 

    Until recent stupidness at the new, lets forget our history, drop the Sturm name, "Ruger"...  SuperBlackhawks were only chambered in .44 Magnum.   It was that way since day one. 

    (then when they came out with the .454 and .480, the geniuses decided to brand those SuperBlackhawks as well, despite having none of the features that made SuperBlackhawks... SuperBlackhawks, rather than just Blackhawks.) :stink:

    Game camera observation

    In the last two years I'm seeing tons more small animals. My pictures were almost always just of deer, maybe one pic of a possum in a set.  Now I'm getting as many small animal pics as deer. Lots of raccoons, porcupines, fisher cats. The occasional coyote which up until a year ago I NEVER got. (They were always around, you'd see tons of sign, often more than any other animals and you'd hear them at night pretty regularly, but never any pics.)

     

    Isn't twins for a doe the norm once she reaches her second breeding cycle?  

    Lifetime license

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted · Edited by cas

    When I got mine I did the math, at the price structure at that time I figured it would be 10-11 years before I broke even.  I'm somewhere around 15 years now. 

    What I don't like about the lifetime license is they look the same. (my name and same number) It's been a tradition to hang them on the cabin wall (have them back to 1958), but with the new thermo printed things and the same number every year, that end of the collection is pretty boring. lol

    It just took the state two plus weeks to register my car, so my hunting license should be here by turkey season. Hopefully not the spring season.

    That ammo's not that "old".  Yes it's from '72, but the CMP didn't bring in that HXP ammo all that long ago, 10-15 years tops. It's good stuff and non corrosive, but it never hurts to play it safe. 

     

    (.30 Carbine ammo would be marked "Cal .30 Carbine, Ball M1"  or a variation of that)

    I used to have a stack of photos a relative who worked out there took back in the 80's. Absolute monsters in the head gear department. Looked a bit comical, small to medium deer with way out of scale racks. 

    NYS Crossbow hunting & season wrong from day one

    in CrossBow Hunting

    Posted

    Years ago I'd have said I'd be happy with alternating late/early muzzle loader and crossbow seasons (southern zone).  Switching them ever year or two. 

    But now the woods are awash with every nudnik that's ever been in a Walmart during Muzzle loading season, so an early southern season now days would be a big mistake. 

    A traditional archery season sounds like a good idea.. though in reality it would either be under utilized or push some unskilled archers to the woods to "cash in".    (I'd love a traditional ML season)

    Ok.....he dressed like that 30+ years ago before he was a well known personality.   The time I first became familiar with him was through his writing in Big Buck Magazine.  

     Meaning what?  He's looked silly longer than most people realize? :rolleyes:
