    It is not every day that 10,000 fenced acres becomes available. Perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity to bring elk into New York and give the region another shot in the arm as a drive-thru state park where visitors can see elk and white deer from their cars and/or viewing areas. People come from all over to see the Pennsylvania herd in September. I will see if I can write some letters ( I have been doing that a lot lately).

    I just used the DEC suggestion site for Whitetails to suggest the Sampson Air Force Base be studied as a possible location to start an Elk herd restoration project.

    Maybe start an Elk herd??????

    Agreed Les. I PM'd the original poster that if he wanted to stop development the best course of action is to get an independent testing company to check for chemical and nuclear contamination. I would like to see the state purchase the land and open it up to sportsmen as a WMA.

    Les, the white gene is present in a lot of animal species. The only reason there are so many whites at the Sampson base is they were protected from hunters and there is a fence. Artificial selection. Brown deer were allowed to be shot and white ones were not.
  6. Gill-T
    They stick out like a sore thumb. In the wild they would be the first to be shot, the first to be seen by Coyotes. The reason you find black moths and black squirrels in cities is the exhaust from industry and cars leave a black stain on everything so the black color doesn't stand out to predators and thus are not naturally selected for. If Whitetails lived in the arctic.....the white gene might become dominant similar to Polar Bears and Arctic Fox.

    Not good for the species to protect recessive traits. Fun to look at?....sure. Good for the species in the wild?......probably not. Put a population in a zoo or keep them in an enclosure.

    Buy her some shoes.

    Women's shoe collections are stupid. You have to pay to play. You want to play golf once a week?......$50 x 4 rounds/month x 7 months= $1400 per year. Over 10 years that's $14,000. You go to the bar every Friday night and drop $50 all year = $2400 per year= $24,000 over 10 years. Adult soccer league $400 per session x 3 sessions per year= $1200 per year......you get my drift. Any time my wife gives me grief I explain I don't go out to bars anymore, I don't go to the casino, after back surgery I don't ski or play contact sports anymore. Fishing is a stress reliever that keeps me from being an ahole to those around me. In the end if I had to, I could sell my gear and get money in return......try to do that with used shoes!!! My apologies to the original thread author.......we have gone off-course Captain!

    Keep in mind the St. Lawrence River froze over the past two winters so dogs could come over from Quebec. They didn't get the ice breaker up the river until late March or April I believe so dogs starting their mating wander could have come across.

    Yes, I think they could run it out of a pole barn or large garage as the building they were run out of was pretty rough.

    Interesting Les.....I wonder if they could carry a hunk of meat. Hmmm meat spoons.....
  15. Gill-T
    Thanks. I talked to a gentleman at Big Blue. The address you gave is just a PO Box. There is no retail location. Parts can be ordered thru them or via eBay. I am not really seeing much on eBay.
  16. Gill-T
    Anyone know if someone scarfed up the remaining Moor Subtroll parts for service? Is the smaller cable that fits into the back of the unit available at other stores such as Radio Shack?

    The only thing I notice with Kings and Whitetail bucks........full moon, sleep in as they are up all night.
  18. Gill-T
    Great haul.
  19. Gill-T
    Definitely cool, but I would hate to see what would happen to those dogs hanging out of the truck if it rolls over.

    The current system is too confusing. Since the insurance industry wants deer numbers curbed along with farmers, there will be pressure to keep numbers in check. I am not sure if coyotes are factored into their equation at the DEC, but my experience around Western NY and Southern Tier is Coyote populations are expanding. MAKE IT EASY......every big game license comes with a doe tag good for ANY location. For those units that need additional doe take ie. around suburbs then a hunter can apply to a specific unit for a second tag. I have noticed that the state land in Allegany County there is an extreme imbalanced buck to doe ratio. Reason being ... getting a doe permit is difficult for some reason in those units. We see tons of does down there......can't shoot them. Meat hunters who could be spending their opening day gutting and dragging out their doe, are staying in the woods longer and have to hold out for a buck. Too many bucks getting shot and at a young age.

    For you Smart Troll people......is there a limited range that the receiver can pick up the probe? (my dipsys are often over 300' back).

    Changes in salmon species eyes start to occur before they spawn. I assume the adaption is evolutionary to help the different species of salmon to identify each other. When I was in Alaska there were streams that had spawning Pinks, Sockeye, Chum and Cohos. To keep from getting into the wrong nest, salmon change body color to help differentiate. While out in the ocean salmon are all silver. So perhaps UV is really only a factor come August and later. Again......IMO it is just a blue-hue flashy tape accent.

    Nonsense! I merely used that expression so Dave would understand. He is "Big Dave" not "young Dave"
  24. Gill-T
    Stop creeping around your boat at night Dave. The neighbors are going to call the fuzz on you.

    Moor Subtroll is dirt cheap on sale at Cabelas. You could almost buy three of them right now for the price of a Fish Hawk.
