Went out to the firing pin in Bergen today to throw a 100 rds through the gun. I must say it's the most fun I had shooting a rim fire in a long time, the gun worked great and super smooth. The gun held pretty tight groups with open sights. I have no doubt if you added a scope you could drive tacks out to 100yrds. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

well picked up my Henry .17 varmint express today and I can't believe I waited this long to a own a lever gun. Hopefully tomorrow I can't get to the range and run a few boxes through it! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We'll I've scrapped the 30-30 idea but not the lever gun. I've decided to buy a Henry 17 hmr varmint express. The gun has awesome reviews and will see more use than the 30-30 would ever see. It will serve as a small game gun and a fun plinking gun for my son when he is old enough. Only down side I'll have to take the hour ride to cabelas in buffalo as they are the only ones to have it in stock. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

How about pick up after yourself is my 1st tip. Nothing burns my a$$ than seeing the ice filled with cig's/beer cans/ and other garbage 2nd tip try a clove a garlic in your bait bucket.....can't say it works 100% of the time but seems to do better on slow and heavy pressured days Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hey thanks guy's .... I think your both right about the side ejection port. Looks like field an stream has the best price @ $475 for gun w scope combo Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'm looking to buy a .30-.30, but here is Where I'm torn. In all honestly I would more than likely use the gun for deer once or twice a year just for the hell of it and take to range a few times as fun gun to shoot . Plus I just want one to add to the collection. So do I buy a pre 64 model 94 for $800 or go with the marlin 336 for $400. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

This post is turning into an episode of finding Bigfoot ....we are very close to seeing one but by the shows (or post) end we are left hanging lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I've got 50 acres in alfred and this winter I had a fisher on trail cam....contacted the dec they stated that in recent years they have really moved into the southern tier and studying all sightings and have many hair traps in the area. Pretty cool and much bigger than I thought it would be. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I think after hearing form friends across western ny that in general it was slow weekend. Most camps that usually get 5-6 deer opening day only had 1-2 on the ground and some none at all. I'm not sure what to attribute that to. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

That's a dandy buck congrats Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wow thanks guys I would have never guessed that at all lol. Good thing I didn't put them up for $2 a piece Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So I was able to keep the tradition going and purchase my grandfathers cottage in the 1000 islands. Well tucked away were about 3doz styrofoam duck decoys my grandfather hunted over for years...I've kept a few for keepsake but the rest Id like to sell. Here is my issue they are still useable but need to be repainted ...so what are they worth If you look on eBay people list them as "antique" "rare" "vintage" which maybe the case but I think $30 a piece is miles and miles out of the ball park. I was thinking more along the lines of a few bucks a piece for someone looking to restore or add to a spread or new to the sport. Let me know what I'm dealing with here.

He is a beast nice job Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I've never had much luck and I solely attribute that to the class of bucks in NY. A wise old timer once told me if you want to rattle you must sound like two deer that actually live on your property. Meaning if you only have 100" 8pts you don't want to sound like two 150" going at it as non dominate bucks won't investigate.....that being said I have done some light rattling with soft grunts and had smaller bucks check it out (southern tier spot with mostly scrub rack bucks) ...not sure if guys are split on that method or not but maybe worth a try before hanging up your rattle bag or antlers Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That's a pretty nice Halloween gift congrats Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Dvdegeorge ......if I throw away my rage's and switch to slick tricks can I come hunt with you ....those are some nice bucks for sure Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Myself and three buddies all shoot rage 2blade and chisel tip and have great results ....now I have another set of friends who only shoot G5 fixed and they have the same results as us.....so I think it really comes down to what you want to shoot and how it shoots for you...I think in today's modern archery all the grass is the same color green Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
