cost of hunting apparatus. Are you doing bow, are you doing shotgun or are you doing muzzleloader Myth= bow hunting is cheap LIE I am finding that out the hard way. Expect to spent about 10 dollars per arrow and another 10 dollars per expandable head, so thats 20 bucks an arrow times ATLEAST 6, so thats 120 bucks right there. Shotgun, depending if you have one or not but remember jersey requires either adjustable iron sights, or some form of scope. Muzzleloader pretty much the cost of the gun and the ammo as they come with adjustable sights already. Permits, fairly cheap actually. If your hunting bow, you can start hunting right now for 35 bucks for the fall bow which goes through october I believe. You can then get the all around hunting and thats another 35. Then I believe 6 day firearm, permit shotgun, and permit muzzleloader are all 35 bucks a piece as well. No rifles for deer hunting in jersey FYI. Equipment Boots = from what I've been reading and seeing, you are gonna wanna spend from about 100 dollars upward. You want a good breathable but waterproof boot You need a hunter orange vest etc about 50 bucks Camo's= it gets expensive quick. You can buy bottom of the line stuff which will definitely work and spend like 50 for pants and 50 for a shirt and that'll get you through fall bow. You can go to dick and get the one piece camo suit insulated for 80 bucks (thats what I bought) Or you could start getting hardcore and purchasing scent blocker clothes. Look at spending 100 bucks and upward on each piece of clothing. Socks I believe they say to get wool no cotton as cotton doesn't breathe, but someone else can chime in. Hunting is definitely not cheap but for the most part, once you are setup, you don't have really any additional costs besides permits. Also are you cutting the deer yourself or are you giving it to a butcher. Butcher expect to pay about 80 bucks for a 150lb and under deer.

Damn thats still like 5 bucks too expensive

optics planet is great, shipped same day when i ordered had it in two

Most of the time, nothing The thing that's great about the DW's is its a CZ bodied 1911, that they strip most of the guts out, and then they replace a lot of the stuff with ed brown parts and do some of their own machining etc to it. Really classy guns for the price.

Tim who you kidding, you were just happy to be allowed to add another gun to the safe lucky bum!! Definitely check out newjerseyhunter because there are ALWAYS deals on there for shotguns.

Well if you get ahold of him, you tell him his bestest buddy is worried about him, and he should poke his head in every once in a while!! Oh and if its construction reasons he has no time, well then he hired the wrong Architecture firm, shoulda called me instead

Whatever you do, don't let him tell you to shoot the Rem 1100, because Tim can tell you what happens when you shoot an 1100 even only once

And you Tim, with those damn 1911's! Why do the good ones cost over 2 grand! Ray you should really check out a Dan Wesson 1911 I've heard nothing but good things about them. You can get the full size DW 1911's for under a grand in some cases. The CBOB which is what I'm getting which is 4.25 inch model you can get at like 1050.

Agreed, and since everything is going to be ok and he's just ignoring us, we all drive thru the car wash for free then

That's one long ass time to be in labor Hope everything is ok. Tim you around, I know you talk to him from time to time. M

Hey guys from the central / south. Anyone talk to Chad lately? I havn't seen him on lately just wanted to make sure all was ok. Thanks M

Troy I will definitely keep that in mind. I have another one to look at thats exactly the same just 10k more miles, but this one is vw certified, so it automatically comes with a 2yr/24k bumper to bumper on it so I'm kinda feeling that one more. Hopefully I can check it out monday after classes so I have a basis to go off of. Weird thing is, this one I literally popped the hood and first thing I did was look at how the fenders met the body to see if it had been in an accident, and if it wasn't for the carfax I would of never known. so to the naked eye, the body shop did a good job.

they have it listed at 14,8 and supposedly according to the autotrader ad its already be reduced. I wouldn't offer more than like 12k now knowing this knowledge.

so I feel a little bit better today, kind of. So today my jeep pist me off on my way to school today so I decided to go and check the one car out. I get there car looks awesome, everything is pretty clean, no dents scratches or anything. Start it up, everything sounds ok except for this one possible noise which sounded like a vibration but I dunno, would of had them check it out if I were to buy it. So anyway I ask for a carfax they print it out and bring it to me. So I start reading, its a one owner from a lease from Maryland. It was driven an avg of 17k a year. Ohhhhhh whats that, its been in an accident. So I flip to that part. It was hit in the front and front left and they classified it as disabled. Carfax says disabled means it has to be towed away. I turn to the guy, yeah no interested, have a nice day So I feel a little better about not missing out on this one. I should of known something was up when it was parked behind another car (its a small dealer) and there were cobwebs on two of the wheels going from wheel to fender haha So I got another one to look at in Summit, NJ. Same year, 10k more miles and without a sunroof, same color etc, and same price. So I'll have to go check that one out soon.

My boat is only 21', so I could only take about 3 people. This season is really almost over, but we could def get out some next season. Agreed! It's hunting season now, no time for silly little fish But I would definitely be interested next season for sure, salt water fishing is the best.

You would have had to throw back that 17" for several years now ;( Regs are terrible, gas is not great either. I fish Raritan, Princess, Sandy hook bays and the ocean. NY has a saltwater license starting Oct.1. if i wanted to take people fishing and all they did was fish 1x per year, they would have to have an Out of state NY license if we fished in NY waters (which I seldom do since Staten Island is half of the inshore area where I fish. Completely insane. Still my main hobby tho and I fish for pure enjoyment, but they don't make it easy. I am keeping the boat thru next season, then will have to make a decision on whether I am going to keep it after that. Wait, did you say boat lol I think we need a NJGF fishing trip. Everyone chips in for gas and bait, and throw some money to Mr. Captain over there, and we go out and have a good time.

yeah im gonna call and talk to someone at geico, i've known people with geico and when you go to get your car fix it sucks BIG TIME but 500 dollars a year cheaper is a big diff. I'm hoping I can mention it to NJM once i know exactly what geico wants and maybe they will do something. I also have a friend whose a detective for geico so maybe i can get a deal there too i dunno

not really lunch but I am having right now at 11 fresh tomatoes in olive oil with diced up garlic, grilled steak, rice-a-roni, some broccoli, some pasta salad, and to top it all off, a nice MGD 64 MMMMM

Yes NJM does rock, and I've had them since I was 17 through my parents. Now for the past couple of years, I have had my own policy due to the jeep. The 1700 still doesn't sound right, and I am going to call NJM again when I have more time to talk to the person and to provide a actual vin as I didn't have one handy today. I did an online qoute with geico and they said 1200 which sounds more reasonable than 1700 I was really shocked. Tho I do get anywhere from a 150-250 rebate check every year from them which is fantastic. With the insurance at 1700 dollars that brings my total monthly cost up to about 550 bucks between car, gas and insurance. So it would be about 50 bucks more than what I am paying right now. The only thing I don't like is I'd now be paying more as opposed to paying less. Also in the summer time when I do less driving that gap would technically be even bigger. So I'm not exactly sure what I am to do now. I might just have to wait until I have that down payment to make my payments where I want them even tho the above way I could still afford it. BUH decisions!

hmmmm so it seems my original guess was off by about 300 bucks. Instead of being 1400 a year for insurance they just qouted me over the phone with no vin at 1700 dollars for the year. Thats insane! Now I'm really going to ahve to think about this one.

Aww man.. you shoulda let me know.. I have a whole pile of them. Do you want to sell any? agreed, I could get my hands on 2 more that'd be nice

Ain't hunted yet and already he's talking like a redneck.. HAHA From the guy I am hunting with and with where he hunts, he doesn't think I will have a problem getting atleast 2, if not 3 ore more. He said he's gotten 5+ most years and sometimes 2 in one day.

No its completely stock these days, when I was a younger lad it wasn't so stock. But it needs a timing belt badly before my motor blows, a clutch, and a cv shaft plus its got 130k on it so she's showing her age. I just did the math, the WRX would cost me about 350 dollars a month to drive between insurance and gas. The Jetta if I went with no down payment would be about 507 a month between car payment, diesel, and insurance. If I waited sold the WRX and used that as a downpayment to get my payments where I really want them, I'd be about 400 a month with everything. The Jeep is about 525 a month between gas and insurance. Then factor in maint. for all of them, and then base your own opinion as I'm having a hard time coming up with one about this topic b/c I've been thinking it to death in my head every hour of the day. I havn't even gone to look at this Jetta yet because I'm afraid I'll either fall in love with it b/c its every option I want and what I want to spend and I'll do something stupid and buy it and put no money down and have a 275 month car payment. Or be really disappointed because I'm forced to walk out and not buy it. If only they would of given me the 5-5500 I wanted for my WRX this would of been a mute point but they didn't. So now I have to clean up both the Wrx and Jeep and list them for 7500 and 6500 respectively and wait for one to sell and then purchase something. Unless I can magically make 5000 dollars appear somewhere.

Don't worry Mark, I havn't forgotten about Sunday YET. I'm hoping I can sit out in the woods sunday afternoon, and maybe do some hunting saturday morning. It depends if I can get somewhere before then to pick up some hunting gear as I only have my winter overalls for hunting. Still need boots, and some blazing orange. I'd like to pick up some light duty scent blocker for this fall hunting stuff, but its just so damn expensive. Plus I gotta come up with like 200 bucks for this sunday, money is just flying out the windows LOL. And Ken I will word this very carefully, if I get 3 plus deer this year, I will be giving out some venision to my good friends on good ole NJGF but only to those who don't make fun of me........... hmm, maks, Troy, and Mark, you guys want some HAHAHAHA j/k on a serious note, if I do get 3 deers, that's about 1 too many for my family so I will give some out if anybody wants anything. M

The best part about that whole video was looking at the blonde but only at face value. If you started looking deeper you'd notice she's an epic fail. I really hope the cops from garfield see the vid and pay these people a visit. I enjoyed seeing the lack of ear and eye protection. I just LOVED see them pointing guns at each other and firing live rounds at each other thats fabulous as well. I saw so many darwin moments I'm not even going to mention.
