Most aware that double action 45's existed, but Rooster Cogburn certainly wasn't using one!

How would you know what Rooster had , you were busy in Mexico with Butch Cassidy

Prolly lost close to 150 dozen or more sweet corn to the deer this year. At $5 a dozen it adds up. The Indian corn was just about as bad.Never had to much problem with the deer in the pumpkin patch. Not sure who mentioned about bucks and does and crop damage but most of the time I'm chasing bucks out of the corn.

We have seen the deer go from pumpkin to pumpkin taking a nibble out of quite a few dozen. The next day we inspected the damage and ended the problem. The corn damage is just as bad.

“Sheriff, why do you carry a .45?”

“Well ma’am I carry a .45 because they don’t make a .46!”

They started an apprentice stewardship program here were underage teens can hunt when accompanied by a legal hunter . I agree with what your saying Mike , I myself was out hunting squirrels & partridge much younger than the legal age of 15 back in the 60's . However I must admit kids back then were much more responsible in many ways . Some of the new generation self entitled air heads today , would be scary in the bush with a loaded clip or magazine brother. No all but perhaps , however enough to wreak havoc none the less !

It sure seems some states have some odd laws. In Illinois I really do not think there is a legal age. If you are hunting you must have completed hunter safety education and be in close proximity to someone with a valid FOID card. That is a Firearm Owners Identification Card is. If you are just shooting all you need is to be supervised by a FOID card holder.

I have seen kids that were 8 at at hunter safety class

The gun laws in NY change so fast, and are so non sensical, that it is hard to keep track of them.

I believe you can hunt when you are 12 but cannot shoot until you are 12 (not even a high-power air rifle).

I can let someone shoot my handgun if they are 18, 19 or 20, but not if they are 21 unless they have their own piston permit!!!

I am now not allowed to give a grandchild a semi auto 22 rifle unless they are 21 and have a permit (but they can have a pump action shotgun)!

My head hurts!

I would advise you to contact your local YSSA (youth shooting sports association) or the state 4-H shooting sports association, I read some internet crap on New York having the 11/12 yaer old rule but I have a feeling there is a workaround using a certified YSSA instructor.

 

[MustangMike]

So parents and grandparents are no longer allowed to teach kids to shoot, you need a YSSA!!! I guess we should hire one to ride along.

Do we have to feed them?

They used to make 22 rifles with smooth bore tapered shot shell barrels for those shot. They threw the shot much better than a rifled barrel.

Have not seen one in decades. They used to let us try to break clay pigeons with them up at Boy Scout camp, but that activity has long since disappeared.

They still have regular 22s, but NY now has stupid age restrictions.

Imagine, you are not allowed to learn how to shoot until you are old enough to hunt ... makes no sense to me.

I had a single shot smooth bore Remington 22. Very effective rat gun. Was deadly to 20 ish feet. Dispatched many birds and varmint with it in my youth. Just recently let my younger brother borrow it. He loves it for the same reasons. Kills the rodent and doesn't kill your walls.

That is not what I said. I said to contact a instructor for a workaround. It is your choice. Here as much as you may want your 8 year old to hunt they must complete the class under the direction of a certified instructor, It takes one night and one day. I do not think that is a lot as I have watched many a child come through THAT NEEDED IT. If you choose not to contract them that is your choice. YSSA and 4-H are keeping the youth shooting sports alive in a safe manner.

NY does not let anyone under 12 hunt, at least not big game. And even that is County by County. My County allows it this year, but did not last year.

 

[MustangMike]

The age to hunt anything in NY is 12, and only if the County allows it.

With the drought, people are putting water out for wildlife. And getting some good pictures. This poster said four other bucks came along with this one.

Hey Bill, I think you need to find another thread to find.. You claim to be a teacher at some point, but you can't spell to save your life. This thread has a lot of friendly people involved in it, but you're not one of them

Morning gents,
chicken coop is coming along slowly. I cut a few windows in the front side last evening. Reused and old wooden sliding window I got off the side of the road. Turned one big window into two little windows. Looks ok. I have to finish the trim. The wife decided she want windows in the back, door and the far little wall. told her if I would have known how many windows she want, I would have left the roof off the coop, lol. I have some plenty glass that I'll try to integrate into the door, amd possibly the back side. I'm doubting about the need to window on the little wall. I'll get some pics tonight of the rain isn't bad.

Your a nice guy. Yes I get in a hurry and I neglect to go back and check my spelling and grammar or auto-correct auto injects. I never taught English, never will. I am glad you are here to provide insults and negativity when you do not agree with what I say. The great thing is in the USA we do not have to agree but we do not need to insult people either. I guess you do not agree with that though. I wish you a glorious morning.

Treated myself to a birthday gift yesterday…270 Weatherby mag with a 30 mm long distance scope.

I wanted a flat shooting rifle set up for long distance shooting for a long time and didn’t want to separate the Redfield 3 to 9 off of my dad’s 7MM Weatherby (as to keep it in the condition he left it) to upgrade so this is perfect.

My ex (who is the poster child of frivolous spending) always gave me a hard time because I bought a birthday gift for myself. Call me shallow, but I’ve been called worse lol.

Came with 50 rounds of 130 grain Barnes TSX bullets.

Snake was on the gravel floor next to a metal wall so I chose .22 bird shot. It almost vaporized its head but it was close range.

Nah , that's what's your smokin !
