I live and hunt mostly here in NY, and surprisingly we can use semi autos to harvest big game. We cannot , however, own suppressors, they are too "militaristic". Though we can use semi autos, rarely do you see someone with one afield, because we have to use a caliber larger than .22, so all...
2 totally different guns. I have 1 of each. My ruger Gen 2 is a nice shooter, but the price tag shows when compared to my t3x. The tikka has more fit and finish.
Both shoot well, and both have their place. Tikka for me all day long if I were choose.
I live on and work the farm that I purchased, however, I get what you are saying. No, it's not much different than leasing, with paying taxes and such, but I have 100% control over who I give permission to hunt.
State forests and wildlife management areas are overrun with people, game is...
I'm not sure what you are getting at, but I'm NOT advocating for leasing ground. Actually, quite the opposite. I refuse to lease ground. I purchased a small farm in 2015, and hunt it and land in the west. Though not advocating for it, it seems it is the way of the future. Like it or not...
There was a lot of buzz about it 15 or so years ago. Then most hunters realized that they would have to let young deer walk, and put work into habitat, and they said screw it. Now we have 1000s of 75-100" running around, with a few that top 120" each year. Some studs do make it through and...
That's a possibility. We don't have the quality of deer you do in Illinois, but we have high numbers. Here QDM is not really a thing. Those of us own a chunk, and can convince a number of neighbors to let the little ones go, try to harvest mature deer. 99% of the state isn't practicing QDM...
The eastern US is now covered up in leases. Back 20 to 25 years ago, you could knock on a door and get permission to hunt. Then the ability to stay afloat milking cows and farming crops became a real loosing proposition. Farmers started saying no to those asking permission, and instead...
I watched the video as the poster asked. It's well done, and I stated 2 times that it is correct. People who give statements to police about their involvement, or non involvement in crimes tend to get charged more than people that don't. My statement was sarcastic in nature, but definitely...
Not what I said. I don't need you to tell me everything that you have ever done. The video that was referenced was done by a defense attorney, who's job it is to keep people from being found guilty of crimes. I also said that the video was spot on. The post that I referenced that you quote...
