Yup plus with this whole pandemic on top of it. I work in gun sales and when some one buys a pistol they pay off all but a dollar then take the sales receipt we print for them have it added to the permit and are given what’s called a coupon to bring back to us for paperwork. They bring back said coupon pay off that dollar and leave with the gun. However background check is only good for 30days and Monroe county pushes people right to that 30 day mark since everything is through the mail can’t go to county office and add it like before.

NY is the same I just got the last of my references today to apply for mine in my county since NY does carry permits by each county with them all being different. Once you have it per the county requirements your covered for the whole state. My county I had to get 4 references notarized that also live in the county and I’ve known for more than a year. Once I have the references I’ve gotta go pay to get my finger prints done and pay to have my pictures taken for said permit. Once all said and done it’s roughly $200 just to take the chance of them telling me no to carry a pistol. My county is one the fastest to give or deny them 4-8weeks average neighboring counties it’s 6-18months.

The official "Who's drinking tonight?" thread
Busted into my bottle of red stag and a few bottles of labatts. Not a a big drinker like I used to be but lately that’s been changing some days more than others. I love me some red stag though

Any CZ fans?
I got a CZ527 in 17 hornet over the winter she’s a shooter for sure so far just paper punched with it but think I’m gonna throw the thermal on it next season for fox till fox season closes and it’s just coyote then switch the thermal back to the 243

What type of area do hunters/anglers reside in?
Grew up in a town that had more cows than people lol. I lived in town though then moved to a neighboring town a little bigger when I got married. Divorced now and back to another neighboring town that’s like middle size between the two. Currently in a house in the country part of town but bought a house right in town that was to good of a deal to pass up its wayyyyy bigger than where we are now and with kids that’s kinda important. It’s still a small town just have neighbors now.

Any Luck In Upstate Ny?
Went to conesus Saturday marked a bunch of fish and seen pike shallow but noting wanted to eat even the pike let me bounce keitechs off their nose no reaction. I ended up bailing and headed to sandy creek in Hamlin in the 2 hours there I got a quick limit but got hungry and left. Went back Sunday same spot I got the quick 5 and I landed 24 lost like half dozen or so that just didn’t stay pinned. Every one was on a underspin and keitech. Best day I’ve had all season though it’s still early. A good portion of the 24 were all small like 1 lbers 4 of em though were in the 3-4lb range.

Kayaks rigged for the season
Yeah 6.3mph which on a yak is pretty fast. That speed it says it only has a range of like 8 miles but when I dial it down to just cruise spot to spot it says 40-50miles when dialed down to 3-4mph. My atak 140 paddles faster than the 120 I might get that one set up for the torqeedo and just swap em out depending on day and waters I’m fishing

Kayaks rigged for the season
I got the Wilderness Systems ATAK 120 last season as a get well gift after my accident and being in coma. Last year just paddled it as is stock, this year I made some major upgrades to her. Torqeedo 1103ac Power pole micro Raymarine Element 9 Bow mounted Anchor wizard only had her out a few times absolutely love it but threw out the little bit of exercise I got paddling upstream and around the lake haha. The 1103 pushes her at a sustained 6.3mph top speed. the element is crazy detailed also love the hyper vision it has It’s definitely different.

Any Luck In Upstate Ny?
Been hitting Lake Ontario tributaries these past few weeks(sandy creek, Johnson’s Creek , oak orchard) been laying into fat prespawn smallies. At first they were barely hitting and fighting my rod would just load up and fish on. Last few times out they have become more aggressive like known for. Yesterday took my step son and his cousin out on Johnson’s I managed 2 bull head on a 7” glide bait haha, they managed to lose a hand full of 2.8 keitechs and jig heads in the river then hooked themselves continuously when I gave them rebel craws since they float and would be easier to get out of the rocks. Never hooked their skin just in clothes around ankle and shoes some how.

Illegal to drink and pedal bike but not a kayak
I remember that Father’s Day tournament we did years and years ago in your bullet on Keuka lake and you throttled down at the Y of the lake and said they sit there running radar on boats and sure enough they were sitting there but we were A LOT slower going by then we were a few minutes ago lol.

When does the season start for you guys?
same here some of the quarries by my house are starting to open, oak orchard and the other tribs are open just blown out muddy and I’m not in the mood to fish for bass with the trout guys anyways though a few I seen got some smallies on the fly last week on the oak. Finger lakes are still locked up tent city on conesus yesterday when I had to go there for work.

Yeah my follow up appointment yesterday my left eye is better than perfect or how ever they put it and my right is where is should be but said it should get better just to keep up with the drops. It’s crazy to me anyways my left eye is the one that’s been bothering the most with discomfort the right is like nothing ever even happened it hasn’t been dry feeling or any discomfort at all this whole time. Maybe that’s why the left eye is seeing better then the right I don’t know all I know is it’s awesome not needed lenses- Lasik
yeah it was painless the one nurse or what ever the lady was standing on my right thought I fell asleep lol. The Valium did help to. The irritation is getting better already the first day I was regretting the surgery because it was so irritated I hated it but after sleeping that whole first day the next morning was way better. When I’m out at night coyote hunting they don’t bother me at all in teen temps my eyes aren't irritated one bit.- Lasik
Well I had it done Thursday was pretty quick and painless like expected. My vision now is great doing the drops every 1-2hrs is kinda annoying but worth it. My left eye is the one that bothers me the most always feeling like I got something in it but they say that’s normal and will pass. It feels like when I wore contacts and was tired and needed to take them out Except there’s no contacts to take out so I just take a nap or go to bed.- Tell us about your kayak
I’ve got the wilderness systems Atak 140 and 120. Last season was my first season with the 120. the 140 is a “rocket” by fishing kayak standards I guess haha. I can cruise at 5.5mph paddling with my fiancé’s “where are you dinner is done” text as motivation lol. I use the 140 for duck hunting also I’ve had it out in Lake Ontario mid January busting through ice to shoot some ducks. It handles those conditions awesome was just a pain to load into the truck all iced over took 4 of us to lift it into the back of a Tacoma. 120 I’ve only had for a season both the 140 and 120 are incredibly stable I can stand and walk around on both. The 120 is more maneuverable for the creeks I frequent. Doesn’t track as well as the 140 but it’s 2’ shorter so that’s a given. I've got a torqeedo 1103AC on order that will be able to be swapped between both kayaks.- 45/70 gov
I’m not to worried about the kick and honestly it won’t be much different than a shotgun slug on deer. It will definitely be a fun one. Little pricey to shoot for fun at the range but that’s what my Henry 22 will be handy for fun range shoots with a lever gun.- 45/70 gov
Yeah it was only in the southern tier and up north but they have expanded the county’s you can take them in a few years ago. I just put a vortex strike eagle 1-6x24 on it tonight. Probably zero this weekend when I put the thermal on my 243 off the 20practical. Our fox season ends next week so this weekend I’ll get the 243 ready for coyote only nights.- 45/70 gov

I’ve always wanted a lever gun besides the 22 I have. I was torn between a 357, 44 rem, 45lc, or a 45/70. Well I stumbled on a to good to pass up marlin 1895GBL 45/70 so I scooped it up. It has a vortex cross fire 3-9x40 on it though which I’ll swap out I’m now torn between a 1-4 or 6, red dot or rocking open sights. I’m gonna start deer hunting again and rifles are now legal where I hunt it used to be shotgun only but they changed that a few years ago. The 45/70 will be a little over kill I think but at same time if a bear ever comes by while out I won’t be under gunned if I went with some of the others.- Tough fox
I just bought a 243 on Sunday gonna be my new coyote/bobcat gun. Went with the ruger American predator and put a magpul stock on it. Haven’t shot that one yet only had it 3 days now no where local sells the ammo I want to try they all cary heavy deer loads I ordered and hoping it likes the 75gr vmax till I get set up reloading in my new house. Was eye balling a Henry 44 today. That will be my deer gun though for in the woods 308 and 243 can be field reach out and touch the deer guns- Tough fox
I use the 20practical now much like the 204 just better on brass. 204 is based off 222 brass and the 20p is from plentiful 223. The capacity isn’t as much but they still scream I’m at about 3800fps. Built the AR so I don’t mind that brass gets flung off into the weeds where as my 204 I was always careful when ejecting and searching for brass after. - Lasik
