A few years back I shot this deer with my Hoyt bow (also originally from Hall's) at a measured 42yards, I simply opened the back sliding door, stepped out onto the deck, and let the arrow fly 
http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx78/Andrapos/BackyardDeer_zps8sznv6mc.jpg I see deer on my street all the time on the backside of the park going through the cemetary, I wish one would walk through my back yard haha Take down a section or two of your new fence and throw some corn on the ground "for the squirrels" Hmm... I could just open up the gate...

Thanks Zeg! I ended up going with real tree extra as they had a lot of gear on clearance in the "bargain cave" online. I never knew the had an online bargain cave and holy crap! You can find some good deals, there is alot better of a selection than instore. I filled gaps with amazon purchases. I'd really like to get the O2 series but I'll see how much time I have this year and how successful it us before I drop rediculous amounts on gear. |

I just got back into waterfowl. I used to tag along with my BIL but we stopped hunting together about 7yrs ago.
I have no place in mind. Just random state forests with water. Mostly gonna be scout for later seasons while hunting squirrel and hope for a goose. |

I think it's the usual state website Fuck ups. don't think they have updated the website, I found something.. Yup...effective July 1,2016, and they jump the fee to $28... sSB 139
AN ACT CONCERNING THE AUTHORITY OF THE COMMISSIONER OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TO ESTABLISH A TROUT STAMP AND A RESIDENT GAME BIRD CONSERVATION STAMP, AMENDING CERTAIN HUNTING AND FISHING FEES FOR RESIDENTS LESS THAN EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE AND ERECTING A PHEASANT STOCKING ACCOUNT AND PROGRAM. SUMMARY: This bill makes various changes to the laws governing fishing and hunting. Among its provisions, the bill: 1. establishes a pheasant stocking account for the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to use to conduct its pheasant stocking program; 2. expands the birds that a person can hunt with a migratory bird conservation stamp and increases, from $13 to $17, the maximum fee DEEP can charge for the stamp; 3. requires a person to buy a resident game bird conservation stamp to hunt resident game birds and sets related requirements for the stamp and stamp proceeds; 4. requires the DEEP commissioner to adopt regulations establishing a three-day out-of-state bird hunting license; and 5. authorizes the DEEP commissioner to adopt regulations establishing a trout stamp. Additionally, the bill decreases the fee charged for any hunting, trapping, or fishing permit, tag, or stamp by 50%, rounded to the next higher dollar, for a child under age 16. Existing law already reduces the fee by 50% for children age sixteen or seventeen. EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2016 §§ 1 & 3 — Resident Game Birds The bill requires anyone wishing to hunt or take resident game birds to obtain a Connecticut resident game bird conservation stamp, in addition to a hunting license already required by law. The bill: 1. requires the DEEP commissioner to (a) arrange for the design, production, and procurement of the stamp and (b) adopt regulations establishing the stamp; 2. authorizes him to reproduce the stamp as a print or related artwork for sale; and 3. establishes $28 as the maximum fee DEEP can charge for the stamp. Resident game birds, those that stay in the area year-round, generally include an array of commonly hunted birds, including crows, wild turkeys, ruffed grouse, prairie chickens, partridges, and quail. link to website |

Wow that actually works in our favor.
Pheasant alone was 28 and turkey was 19 per season. If I'm reading that right. Didn't go out after work, busted my ass all day and left wet tired and sore. |
