stuartess?

I believe the military uses the 590A1 which has metal safety and trigger parts already. Yes, after looking through it a bit more I believe what you say is correct. However you couldn't find the answer on the Mossberg website. As far as they like to tell it, it is the 500

I got a line on the roost in the late afternoon after telling the above story to a local.

People thought stuff like that on 9/11/2001 too.

Hold on a minute... You're telling me that I can LEGALLY kill & eat those arrogant SOBs? Awwwwww snap! What is WMA btw? It might be a little late now. The season started Sept 1 and ends on the 30th. Yes you can blast the hell out of them. It is the only animal you are allowed to hunt without the plug in the magazine and you can take 15 a day. HOWEVER. Everyone I have talked to said that the Jersey Canada Geese taste aweful, due in part to the awful awful diet they live from. One guy I spojke to said, "yea, I work for the department of sanitation and all we see is those geese eating agrbage all day. I wouldn't eat one of those." So, so much for the hunter solution for Canada Geese. A WMA is a "Wildlife Mamagement Area."

Well, I was able to accomplish my goal. After shooting holes in the video game that had me up all hours I was determined to take some of the remaining time this summer to do something that did not include a tv or monitor. So I went, against all reccomendations, by myself, into the woods for a walkabout. See what's what with this hunting stuff. So, ah, crows have "flyways,"....somewhere. and roosts. yep. Somewhere. I was looking and listening. Not much going on in Black River WMA. In fact I was concerned that I would be getting in the way of all those guys that wanted to take advantage of Canda Goose season. They can take the plug out of the gun and bag 15 a day if they wanted. I would be there soon. I hoped I wouldn't get in the way. I heard nothing. No Geese. No Geese near, no Geese far, no echoing gun blasts from those hunters that are far better than I picking off those big fat geese. I was alone except for the insects. Noisy little bastards, but I have been in the swampwoods of New Jersey before. I have seen what those who use Permethrin gain vs those that do not. (lets just say that I use Permethrin and that, compared to one guy at Ft Dix, I won by 20 - 0 in that "who has less ticks department.) Plus, you know, Off works very well. So forget the bugs. I cut into a few vines to give me access to a small natural blind and sat up next to a tree over looking a clearing that looked to me like it might a good place for crows to forage. I pulled out a camoflage netting that looked like the base of a tree and masked my face with it up to my eyes. Then I started to toot the crow call I had practiced with all night. I did the "rally" call a few times and listened. WAAAAY off in the distance I heard a similar sound. Similar. Not exactly the 'voice' I was tooting. I changed what I was doing a bit to sound more like that one. I did the 'rally' again in my best imitation. It responded :? Holy shot it worked, I think. I tried it again. Again it responded. No way! One more time I did the 'rally' call. I waited a beat and there was nothing. Then "CAW CAW CAW" maybe 100 yards away. I was talking to a bird! I was convincing the bugger to come to me. Now what? I forgot! I had practiced the calls but I was drawing a blank. I did remember that it would do well to make it sound like the bird was in distress. The website said "you'll know you are doing it right when you start feeling sorry for the bird you are trying to imitate." So I did that. err....I was a little weird. My little victim no longer responded. nothing. Just me tooting into nothing for the next 20 minutes. Occaisionally I would hear crows way off to the south and I would make another call. I got another two birds to respond in the next 40 minutes but by then it was just obvious that no birds other than blue jays were near this place. I told myself be patient and listen, so I did. It was great. THis was what I had been wanting to do for a long time. I saw no people, no crows, no geese, no squirrel; but I was enjoying the sounds. It was very relaxing. Soon it was noontime and that was that. Not a peep from a crow in 3 hours. I had fun. On the way home I saw 12 crows just hanging out in some guy's lawn. "I'll get you next time" I need to practice the crow calls until I can get to the point where I will not choke when I want to get them in. Then we will see...Already I am listening to the crows outside my window at home trying to think what I want to say to them. All in good time, all in good time.

Leave them for the scavengers.

No worries there. I was talking about duck and Geese. Crows are just a gateway.

Yea, I am looking at it as a "learn the forest, watch the trees, be aware, shoot!" kind of thing without the whole "find the bird, skin it, make it right to eat" thing. That will follow but, baby steps.

AWSOME! Thanks. That's just what I wanted to know. The only other thing I need now is to get some of my crow calls to sound more like crows and less like oranutans I am prepared for it to be jsut a scout day though.

I am totally new to it, but from what I have read you need full camo Face and hands included, and tick repelent ( for the WMA).

Indeed they are. So much so that there is no bag limit. There are stories out there that you can find farmers that will give you plenty of acces to clear them all.

Meh, they want that. Its the martyr thing. I would hope some of those San Fran freaks on Gay pride day can make it to one of their funerals.

Okay, I am going to bite the bullet. I am ready to start knocking crows out of the sky. I think I can get tomorrow off. I am license and ready to go and will probably get a stamp for Canada Geese too. ANyone want to try a romp through Black River WMA and see what we get?

Yes. You are going to have to open the windows anyway once you are done.

Awesome addition to the thread I think! I might just do that.

Ah, my answer http://www.godhatesfags.com/bombing/index.html At first I thought this site was a joke, I think it is the real thing

http://www.military.com/news/article/pe ... RC=army.nl SO these demons go to military funerals to protest some bizarro connection to gays, just itching to have it turn violent or in some way have something to complain about. But they have to go to the police, for that, right? Well it seems to me if they had more firm beliefs in the kind of thing they are protesting they would be at funerals for cops too. I wonder what would happen if they did that..... And I am not saying that to start cops bashing again, I just read the article and started wondering how this would have been handled in NYC, especially if one of the cops/Reserve soldiers I deployed with had been killed. When you think about it, these protesers should be shadowing cops every minute of their beat. But they don't

I hate to be that guy that has nothing useful to add and just makes a snide comment, but, It ain't that hot. This was at 9am in Kuwait.

Bed bugs are no joke. When we had them everyone was thinking we were some nasty couple. That was before we spoke to the exterminator and he told us that they traveled down 3 floors through the steam risers, in the winter... and that the rest of the building had them 2 months before but no one told us. :x My wife would sell the house at a loss if we had those buggers again. You think mosquitos itch? These fuggers hurt! and itch, at the same time

What could a hotel traveller do to make sure he isn't the vessel? {had bed bugs in a 25 unit building due to some jack ass the bought a parrot. Was not fun, but I gottsta travel.)

yep, I can hit the flying stuff, but I ain't got no dog and I don't even know if I like the meat. Enthusiastic nonetheless

What do you think about canada goose?

hmm. I like JZT. Let me see what I can do.

Awesome news! Congrats!
