Great pics Steve.Looks like you had a good time.

What I think puts it in the firearm category is the facts that, it is a shoulder fired, scoped, pre cocked weapon that does not have to be drawn in the presence of the animal. Draw locks are also illegal in NYS and are tantamount to a crossbow...see I didn't say crossgun, as much as I would have like to:p. Most places that BAN crossbows also ban draw locks for compounds. A crossbow has much more similarities to a gun, regardless of projectile, which is a bolt, not an arrow;). As far as range goes, the compound has that won hands down. Yes, the crossbow is louder when fired, but it can be quieted to some extent with the right equipment. I will make my point for the gazillionith time also( I like that Doc:D). The simple fact that it does NOT have to be drawn in the prescense of the animal, disqualifies it for archery. Point and shoot...like a gun.

Happy Birthday Hunter Dan:D

#1) He is a poacher, a vehicle is NOT a legal method to kill a animal in any state, and that is Wanton waste, illegal everywhere. #2) Wanton waste..again illegal. #3) The farmer still needs to adhere to laws, and file for a nuisance permit. Which is usually given after proof of such incidents. Even if they are eating her crops. Most farmers will also keep all the deer they can after shooting on a nuisance permit. In NYS, nuisance permits are given ONLY for Does, no bucks.

Prayers on the way.

Ohhh How I love this one, and it is WAY before its time.

No one takes its more on the chin for gun owners, and hunting rights than Uncle Ted Nugent. Love him or hate him, everyone in our sport(s) benefits from his work.

You should. BHO's whole career has been anti gun, and most of his cabinet members and appointees are recycled Clintonistas. See Eric Holder, see Rahm Emmanuel, Billary Clinton just to name 3...some change huh? People are very afraid of having their constitutional rights whittled away at by this administration. When have democraps ever been sympathetic to hunting or shooting? Never. They are sympathetic to animal rights groups and anti hunting organizations. Copper, lead and brass have dropped dramatically, but not ammo which consists of these raw materials. The basic supply and demand at work.

Welcome to the forums Tyler:).

Very cool Ruth...very cool:cool::cool: I just love Eagles.

I known this for a while Tink, I hope others get IT also:rolleyes:. Here are a few famous quotes that apply; Beware of a government that fears it citizens. A man with arms is a citizen, a man without arms is a subject. We must hang together gentlemen, or certainly we will all hang alone. A free man shall never be debarred the use of arms. The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for,among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as a whole volume of human nature, by itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power. The Declaration of Independence was the promise; The Constitution was the fulfillment. Please let these OH so meaningful words take root in your mind. Rough times are ahead people...more so than ever.

They always say that, and when you don't get 'em...make sure you duck!

You have waited too long for this book and I would be fit to be tied also. It is out of your hands, see what happens and stay cool. Have you settled the hospital bill thing yet Ruth?

Tragic indeed. Prayers headed their way.

Good to hear and work safe ...OK? You are expected home. BTW, what trade are you?

Good news for sure Frank;). Hope you only get stronger.

Sorry to hear that Leo, may he rest in peace. A prayer for your family.

I left the house before my wife was awake to do some ice fishing. Was on the lake all day and caught nothing. BBQ'd some Axis steaks on the lake with some friends, MMMM good. Came home with a bundle of Carnations(she likes them better than roses) a card for her and a card for my boys to sign for momma:). Asked her what she wanted to eat, and she wanted Chinese delivered and didn't want to go out. I had the bland steamed chicken and broccoli, with brown rice. Orlan...I had some bison sirloin in Texas and MAN was it good. I can only imagine what bison rib eyes taste like!

Go with the WHOLE costume Muff, who cares. If you like it, then so be it. Enjoy the concert...bring some light sticks!

Hope you feel better soon Ruth. But won't this be a common occurrence being around sick people often? Or will your immune system beef up and you'll laugh at virus' soon?

Congrats to him and you Swampy...Be proud...be DANG proud:). Give him a BIG atta boy from me;) Great family pic.

Glad you got him back...Dogs are mans best friend.

You have attained Moron status Dakota;). Give yourself a big kick in the butt, after that a pat on the back:p Congrats on the milestone.

You'll be a moron in no time flat! You have to whole weekend to get those 69 in... If you need any help ask Heavy Metal, he knows a thing or two about ringing up a post count in no time flat:p And I mean in NO TIME FLAT!

I hope he gets better fast Darla. Prayers headed his way. Congrats on the calf!
