  8. I'm also a fan of the 22-250. I shoot the Rem. 50 gr factory load out of a model 12 savage topped with a mueller scope 8.5x25 http://www.chuckhawks.com/mueller_erati ... 50_syn.htm and a Choate sniper stock http://www.ultimatesniper.com/catalog_p ... wProduct=0 The total weight of the gun and stock is around 14lbs. I shoot hogs primarily, but if a dog shows himself he will have a problem. fox don't stand a chance with that load out to 600 yds. Not a fun gun to lug around, I usually find myself at the top of a dairy pasture most of the time I guess a more mobile weapon would be needed for dogs, but the round is smokin. My top hog kill is 510yds. with that round
  9. EPIRB, VHF, cell phone, flares, horn, and a mirror. The $750 for the EPIRB won't be justified until i'm floatin in cold water and the coasties are comin to pull my sorry as out of the water. IMHO. I purchased it after I read a story a couple years ago where a 34 or 36 ft charter on Lake Michigan got caught in a bad T storn and got swamped. All six people were pulled from the water by the coasties with little time to spare. The EPIRB was activated before they hit the water. Ya never know.
  10. I'm no expert, but those dogs look nothing like those skinny little ones from the midwest.
  11. I'm sure most of the NY guys have seen this. Supposed to have been shot in the town of Hilton(?) in 05'. 115lbs. apparently the state record. sure looks half wolf as stated above. I cannot confirm any of the info, found it by accident.

  14. Done #10990
  15. Who gave the seminar, just curious...
  16. I'm speechless............
  17. An interesting thing I could add from NJ hunting. It has to do with the ability to legally bait, and the use of trail cams. I among other friends bait a certain spot religiously from august right through the season. in August and Sept. you will quickly identify the herd in that area and I D the bucks as well on the bait pile. In my case I was able to account for about 15 different bucks on my bait pile, and would check the cam once a week. Early in the season these bucks would show themselves in the daylight, young bucks more but even the 2 and 3 year olds at times. after a couple weeks of hunting pressure (minimal) the camera tells the story. those same bucks are there but primarily at night, and the mature bucks only after dark. Then when the rut kicks in heavy the bucks seem to disappear all together off the camera (they stop eating I guess) but that is when the bigger bucks are chasing 24/7 and i will see them in daylight.. But for every day I hunt and not observe the bucks during daylight, the bait/camera tells a different story at night. I guess what that means is an educated deer is a hard deer to hunt. If i didnt have bait and a camera, I would swear some days there were no deer at all. They are a great challenge to hunt, and I guess thats the reason why we do it.
  18. This is an interesting read. all the opinions are valid IMO. I mentioned earlier that NJ has a pretty stable herd, and for the last 30 years the take had stayed pretty steady even though license sales are down over 50%. I will say one thing regarding coyotes. We have very few in the state, and they are mostly confined to north jersey, but for the people that i know who have an abundance of yotes on there property (dens), they have both said the same thing, since the yotes showed up the herd is down. There was a noticable lack of fawns almost immeditely the next bow season. The same guy on the same property told me yesterday that his group of hunters had their worst season ever this year with lack of numbers the main concern. The yotes arrived in the area about 4 years ago. And this area is some of the best deer area in the entire state (hunderton county). I don't know if they are the sole problem, but there is no winter kill here, and this is very strictly enforced private property of about 100 acres.
  19. Not good eh! Too bad, I was thinking of getting a couple. What is the problem? Dick They r ok for light line and shallow fishing (like under 50') but when your down 100 plus and your pulling flashers with 20 or 30# mono, there is a lot of strain on the extentions, they will twist under the pressure, its a wonder they never failed for the time i used them. I did like the vertical and horizontal adjustment. I use the boom mount holders on all three now. I got rid of the two that were standard with the captains pac also, I prefer the rod tip closer to the water, and the boom mount adjust vertically.
  20. Too cool Hank, is that cigarette smoke?
