Yup, it looks like the snow is back. We are getting a white out here right now:rolleyes:. Just when you thought spring was on its way...Ole man winter pulls you back in!

Careful with that thing Will, you could put an eye out! I hope all the Kings Horses and all the Kings men can help you put that bow back together again:D.

A great BIG welcome from NY Allen. Glad to have you aboard and looking forward to your posts:).

PM sent with explanation:)

I have seen that before and every time I see it, I drool also:). Him being out in the forefront of gun rights is sorely missed:(. Notice the shooting range in the back of the room;). Thanks for sharing it.

They are growing up so nicely. Bless them, your wife and you;). I hope I am spelling this right. Ho sai gai

I'm not biting...keep stirring the pot though.

William bashing is not allowed here, and posts doing so would be deleted. I do not see any bashing going on. I would like to get back into this topic and continue, but I said I would back off. The dead horse theory is being applied again. Minds in many state DNR, better than ours have pondered this topic and the conclusion of is that, ALL of them are wrong?

Hey, I am all for eradicating the hogs, but isn't diesel fuel poisoning them? If they run off and die, won't other critters die also from eating that tainted meat? Take the time to hunt them, it will not only be rewarding, but there will be pork chops and bacon galore. If it becomes too much meat, can't you donate it? I don't want to say it is a fun problem to have, but turn this into a mission. Get your friends, a semi auto centerfire, a spotlight, and start blasting away.

Come hungry Tim:)

Good Link Mike. I guess there are a lot of closed minded Game commissions out there:rolleyes: Almost ALL of them are in gun season ONLY. Thank you...Thank you Verrry much( in my best Elvis:D) BTW, I did not reply to the topic...I replied to Mikes post;)

Cool Dan. Hope to see you there. I'll PM you my #. Just for you...THE CART of Death!

Welcome Archeryangel. It will not be held against you that you are a friend of Kyle:D

Hey Dan! Good to see ya! Well the show is March 5-8. Thurs, Fri, Sat & Sun. I will most likely be there for 2 days. I will be helping out in a booth there one day maybe 2 if I am not working yet. Friday and Saturday. Hope to see you there.

Cool Clip Dakota:cool: Looks like you guys had a lot of fun making that vid:)

I could watch that vid a million times and still laugh my butt off.:D:D

Mike, I will honor your request and stop replying to this thread. Over and OUT!

ooo rahh! Sound off! 1-2, sound off me n you. Mathews Mathews ooooo Mathews! I shoot an Outback.

Oh man...I hope everything checks out OK. Is this considered a job related illness that the company takes responsibility for? Workers comp? Prayers headed your way.

That does sound good Kyle. I have seen Sonic in Texas when I was there and wanted to eat there, but we never had the chance. I will make it a point to eat there next time I am in the Lone Star state.

You are not sticking to the issues...you have gone off on another topic as scent control. 35lb draw law says it is ethical. What Game dept will let hunters use a weapon not capable of killing a deer? Answer these. Do you have to draw in the presence of the animal? Do you have to let down if the shot is not taken? Do you have to choose a yardage pin? Is there less movement with a crossbow, than that of a archer? How much discipline is needed to lay on the crosshairs and pull a trigger with a magnified scope? On that one, scoped gun hunters do miss, but usually at far greater ranges, more than 40yards; you still have to make the shot. Granted to all hunters...being able to get close,IF you are stalking. Most hunt from trees today or blinds in a ambush fashion. All hunters need to play the wind regardless of weapon. Not a factor in this discussion. Stick with the issues I have raised, and I will gladly debate this topic civilly.

Awe Schucks Tim, you didn't have to do that:). You are very welcome to come here and break bread with us;). If anyone else is making that show, then I guess a get together is in order. BBQ at my house after the show! I will share my Axis with my Realtree family...some of it:D

#1) That is the law in NYS 35lbs minimum draw weight. I don't make the laws, I follow them. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8305.html #2) ATV's on state land are also against the law in NYS. All motorized vehicles are restricted to access roads posted as motor vehicle trails. Off road use of motorized vehicles, such as ATVs, trail bikes and four-wheel drives is not allowed, except where specifically permitted by signs, posted notice or by DEC permit. #3) How is point and shoot archery? That is what gun hunters do. Projectile has no meaning here, there are guns that shoot arrows. #4) I never said anyone shouldn't hunt at the same time as I do. I stated that bowhunters in NYS have to compete with guns going off at the same time that the early archery season is underway. That makes it harder when the spooking of gunshots have educated animals. The second shot I took out of a crossbow was dead on. I have never fired one until that fateful day at Gander Mtn archery range 4 years ago. It took me 2 shots to hit the bullseye at 25 yards. That is a challenge or ease of use? You still have not addressed the not having to draw in the presence of the animal. That alone is why crossbows should not and are not in the archery seasons here in NY. There will be crossover gun hunters, since they are familiar with point and shoot. If they were archers or wanted to be, they would have picked up a bow and became familiar with the disciplines of drawing with the animal in sight, anchor points, choosing the right pin, holding back the draw weight and letting down if the shot is not taken. Not just clicking the safety back on and resting the crossbow back on the rail/support of the stand or blind. Like gun hunters do. I have made my points over and over and ya know what... This is what we are doing... Lets agree to disagree.
