What exactly did you do in "the industry" to make you feel that hunting with a modern compound bow is easy?

You certainly hit the nail on the head there!

Spoken like someone who has never hunted. How much sport is there in having someone else kill your food for you?

You got me. I'm so embarrassed that I'm scared of being the victim of violent crime. You call me names for being aware of the fact (scared apparently) that I could be the victim of a crime and talk about how slim the chances are, and then you bring up even less likely crime scenarios to support your point. I won't be attacked, but if I am it will by an army trained assasin and my weapon will be useless? We can't all be virtual tough guys like you. I also lock my doors and avoid the dark alleys that you speak of because I'm a "wuss and a scaredy cat". There is actually a difference between a "scaredy cat" and realizing that bad things can happen and to prepare for them. I'm not going to change your ignorant views. After all, you can find stories on the web about gun accidents and assume every gun owner is the same. Should I link to car accidents and point out how stupid you are to drive? It makes about as much sense. As far as a criminal getting my gun, they would have to figure out how to move my 400 pound safe that is bolted to the floor. I'm sure you can find a link that shows gun owners leave their guns on a table near the front door or in their baby's cribs.

There are no children in our house, but I would certainly take extra precautions if there were. I have a safe near the bed that can be opened with a punched in code.

I don't think my wife is going to shoot either one of us while playing with a firearm in the house, but thanks for your concern.

I've been driving for 17 years and never needed my seatbelt or airbag either. Why does it upset you that someone chooses to protect themselves with a gun? It does not affect you one bit. Actually it makes you safer because criminals don't know who is willing to protect themselves. You resort to name calling and insults while sitting safely behind your keyboard. You cite one scenario and are naive enough to think that it covers all arguments for self defense. I can tell you that I will not be in a position to let some guy walk up behind me on the street close enough to stick a knife or gun in my back. Even though the odds are slim that I will ever be robbed or attacked, I choose to be prepared and willing to do whatever is necessary to defend my life and those of my family. Maybe your just a guy who gets a stiffy from insulting and mocking people's views when you don't have to face them in person.

I have also been told that if you have a pistol permit and are carrying legally at the time of a traffic stop, you hand your permit to the officer with your license. It is a very responsible and calm way to inform the officer that you are legally armed. I have heard horror stories about people informing an officer that they have a gun and being drawn on and put on the pavement.

I'm sure your "bravery" will protect you from a criminal with a gun or knife.

They may not want to get into a fight with a possible drug addict due to the distinct possibility of blood transfer. I know that doesn't answer your protocol question.

We started taking that shortcut last year and it saved a lot of time and hassle.

Yep, I was going by the info in the story. I guess they probably won't top 57,000.

Have they set aside enough seats for season ticket customers to surpass the old record? I think they would need to sell a little more than 53,000.

That picture of EZC was taken like 2 years ago. He looks much different now.

No, the game is sold out. I think the only chance to buy more is when they release the unsold seats reserved for season tix.

The Inn On The Lake is very nice in Canandaigua. They have an outdoor bar and as the name implies, it is right on the lake. Nice rooms and restaurant too. The Culinary Center is right next to the Inn and has some interesting seminars and tastings.

Nice variation on the "your stupid" post!

I didn't know Marshal Faulk was writing predictions for the Sporting News.

Anything that has to wait for an invitiation to enter your home and kill you can't be that tough! Salems Lot still creeps me out.

I heard aligator meat is tasty. Never tried it.

Have you seen "I am Legend"? If the SHTF deer hunting skills will be very usefull! (Along with a good zombie killing strategy!)

Fair enough.

Are you high right now, because you seem to have forgotten what you typed a few minutes ago. "To answer your question though, I do live in a decent sized place and maybe I do use more electricity then is needed BUT what I don't do is B word about the price of electricity. I take responsibility for my A/C and washer dryer bills and never complain." And yes, you did hit a nerve with the hunting comment. Do a little research and you'll find that the hunters you are mocking contribute more money and time to environmental conservation than all the journalists and internet bloggers that sit back and make fun of the truck drivers "goin huntin".

What does hunting have to do with your argument? Actually hunting is better for the environment than buying farm raised food. Hunters in general do more for the environment than all the whiney internet activists will ever think of doing. Now if I'm understanding your position, it is OK to hurt the environment by wasting energy if you don't complain about the prices YOU are paying. You get bonus points if you call out others for wasting energy in ways that don't affect you. I have nothing against people owning big houses and living the good life, I just find the hypocrisy very amusing when one of those people go after big bad pickup truck drivers.
