planted a good speciman of each yesterday- skip & gg, will see in 6 months how they did. untill then gonna brush up on some Latin.

I've decided to wait till Spring for the main plantings but soon will do a bunch of excavation and am going to plant one each of skip laurel and green giant near each other elsewhere in the yard to see how they do over the winter. If we have a bad winter I'll see how the laurel does as far as hardiness and how both do with deer. My bro lives a little south from me in Morris Plains and has a lot of skip laurel- which i didnt observe all the times i was there- and deer. He says the deer typically dont bother the laurel except for the new growth in the spring.

lol, I lernd that. Me-" for cryin out loud , how many crockpots do ya need!?" Her- "how many drills do you own?" .....silence.......

I hear ya. I suck it up every Christmas when I drag out 20+ big storage crates & boxes of CRAP so she can think about what comes out....and almost as bad for other holidays ugh. I dread moving time big time. Should be a rule- if something hasnt been used in 5 (3?) yrs toss it!

looking forward to your point of view, my wifes family is close to you in New Port Richey. Good luck.

That class action suit is ripe for the taking. All it takes is a statewide 2A group with the funds& assertive balls to put out a email blast. ANJRPC comes to mind, they have the statewide part but not sure about the other parts. And not that I endorse any compensation for confiscation but IF it came to that and the state had to come up with a plan you can be sure it will be extremely under-funded and under-estimated, in other words the numbers would need to be greatly minimized/doctored to pass any legislature then suddenly they run out of money....ooops. oh well. But that will never happen -NJ doesnt even grandfather, why would they pay us for confiscation?

This.

yup. but so much for the attractive evergreen look and onto having a 30' wall or bunch of sacks of burlap in the front yard for how many months. Also gets impractcal I would think when the plants get bigger. I want a wall just a few thousand miles south of here : ). Having said all this my wife just said to me "just do it". Whats the worse can happen, tear out $1k in plants, go to plan B.

oy vey....now I'm even more mixed up. not a question of when to plant but now its about if the skip laurel is a good fit for what I want it for, a privacy screen/hedge. The more I research it and whats been said here maybe its a bit too risky as its intended use. Being in the northern fringe of its hardiness zone it can be damaged from an excessively harsh winter being out in the open. Coming out of winter with the laurel all browned out and waiting till may/june to repair itself isnt appealing to me, not truly evergreen... And the more I look around I'm not seeing it except as a few specimens yet all the garden centers move it pretty well. Havent totally talked myself out of it yet because my wife and I really like it as a much more attractive option over the arborvitae everywhere. First World problems lol. Appreciate the info you guys have offered.

I'm going to try a new deer repellant- its called Dog Piss lol

Yes looked at the Rutgers site, good stuff there.

this is whats driving me nuts, they're marketed as being deer resistant but keep reading that the deer do munch on them, maybe I'll put in some green giant arborvitae, they seem to thwart the deer but may get too big where I want them. I may need all winter to figure this out lol you're a bit of a drive for me but thanx

Looking for opinions on planting a row Schip Laurel. Should I wait till Spring or will the plants be established enough to get thru Winter if I plant soon. They are rated to hardiness zone 6 which is me in Brgn Cnty. Am doing a front yard re-do involving a bunch of excavation work and the laurel is a key part but dont want to start if Spring is a much better option. Thanx for any info.

who wouldn't ! lol

maybe this yr after the conference we can get a compilation of the Q&A's posted here on the forum. I think I inquired about that last yr but dont think it happened. If I'm wrong would love for it to be pointed out. Congrats on the continuing success of it.

No need for them to "toughen their skin", they've been around a while & are an in your face org out in the trenches asking tough questions, taking gotchya videos, filing lawsuits and showing up in town hall meetings to argue for the 2A. If you're a member you get the emails like the one above. A very worthy group going about their/our agenda, more power to them.

this site has some pics/ID info, scroll down. https://www.survivalmonkey.com/threads/50-bmg-ammo-identification-chart.49583/

I picked one up a few yrs back as a goof gift for my son. what a pc of shit. Any fly more than 6 inches awayjust laughs, the velocity and spread on ours is useless any further out- a rubber band is more fun to hunt with.

play stupid games......

I dont see an exemption carved out for "allowing" regular ammo when used in SD either, does that too make it illegal by default? Its all about use of the firearm, I think the real answer is somewhere in the use of force disciplines. Didn't you leave because of this shit lol.

Hollow points....Nappen addresses them (page 22) in his NJ Gun Law book. Mostly talks about possession, travel. At the end of many of his topics he discusses things to watch out for- "loopholes & pitfalls". In this one for hp's he talks about loosys in the car, hp on a keychain, the no moving exemption....you'd think if there was an issue of self-defense use it would be mentioned, it is not.

seemed odd to me too but thats what it says on their site, scroll down a bit to black box http://www.tpath.org/

according to their website this case has reached the SCOTUS and we'll be updated any day now. Wow, I must have missed some updates, dont remember it progressing this far, looking forward to what they have to say in the update.

was gonna hit the "like" button but I dont like what you said about the shit coming. I 100% agree with it...but dont like it..... the 2A is being re-wrote in the NJ history book as just that- history. I still want to see this bill get pushed along if no other reason (regardingNJ) to see the Trenton Traitors sweat a bit and spew their anti rhetoric for all the free country to see.

204....14 to go. gonna suck if they leave us hanging over their break.
