Same here, I plant apple trees around my food plot and maintain the native ones with pruning and fert. Definitely has improved there apple producing capacity as some year's before instarted doing that they wouldn't fruit at allI can shoot a deer standing under my apple trees but I can't put apples near my treestand and shoot a deer. Well I can but.
I have a 629 Back Packer... 3" barrel. I've taken whitetail with it. 1911 is for social work.
Around here it is mostly a problem of development eliminating huntable land. On top of that the recent law that requires you to have explicit permission to bring a gun on private property is presenting problems as now landowners are thinking about liability... This despite NY State General Obligation law that gives property owners immunity if someone is injured while engaged in various activities that include walking, hiking, bicycling, hunting, etc. as long as the landowner isn't charging for the access. Tractor Supply is the only local store I know of that posted a sign saying legal concealed carry is okay in their store.
Great line!
I had to have my rotator cuff repaired last year from too many years of abuse and chainsaw pulling.I’m personally waiting for someone to come up with an electric start for chainsaws. My left shoulder bursitis has just about shut me down of late.
Get a few more and they make a great stew with rice, carrots, onions, peppers and more. It tastes like chicken.
Pretty nice collection of 1895's you have there I must say!
Good on ya!
I believe that law was repealed.
I'm Mass we only have little Black bears. I wouldn't want to have to deal with Brown bears this close to my house. I would probably have to buy a .44 magnum.A 1911 would just piss a brown bear off!
They are spreading everywhere. Years ago I would rarely hear about them near me in Central Mass. Now it is almost a daily thing to hear about them in someone's yard.
At this moment (subject to change any second!) a judge put a stay on parts of it but a higher court has to review it... The state appealed the stay and in the long run it will undoubtedly be found unconstitutional in light of SCOTUS's ruling in NYSRPA v Bruen. For now it's in force... and the damage it did by making property owners concerned is going to last a long time.
Most definitely. But there is always that "one" out there that will try and taky you out! Wether a person comes across that animal accidentally or not, is another story. We've had a mauling this year on Afognak a couple weeks ago. They are simply an unpredictable animal and can not be trusted. I would think with your experience hunting bruin. You'd know that. As much time as I spend working and recreating in the woods. I'm gonna pack heat! I'd rather have it and not need it. Than need it and not have it! Thats the bottom line plain and simple. I've been stalked by brown bear more than once and bluff charged by brown bear more than once! I don't take chances or put anything on faith when it comes to that animal.
Dang vermin, good thing I got my .17HMR
.
Yup... with that you can shoot your buddy in the leg so you can out run him.Dang vermin, good thing I got my .17HMR
I’ve heard of more attacks from interior grizzlies and grizzlies in lower 48, seems like every year Wyoming and Montana. I definitely agree I won’t go out without a gun, anywhere actually. When we lived in Seward our neighbor was attacked by a brown bear, messed him up pretty bad. Several brown bear attacks around cooperlanding-kenai river and the Boy Scouts on resurrection pass trail. I carried a 44 with 300 gr hard cast loads for awhile then bought a ruger super redhawk in 480 carried last few years we were there.Most definitely.
