He's good dude. love the comments by the morons. people really do live in the shell...a liberal one at that.

My boys (10 and 7) have done some gardens the last couple years. I always had them as a kid. Im in a townhouse so yard space is limited. We have 3 small spots where we planted. Bought some chicken wire/fencing. Used old arrows as stakes to keep fence in place. my boys LOVE eating tomatoes. They literally eat them everyday. they both take some to school as a snack. We planted 8 days ago. So far we have 3 cherry tomato, 1 big boy, 1 better boy, 1 red sweet pepper, 1 green sweet pepper, basil, spearmint (came back from last year), 1 strawberry (came back from last year), and a lima bean that my son started at school from a seed. I have room for a couple more plants. May go with some pepper plants...maybe get some hot peppers...for me. lol Nick

Wife and son passed the course yesterday at Telco. Started@ 830 I think we were walking out by 1145. Didn't do the archery just the firearm. I may be screwed...my wife and son used a 410 single shot that I brought. my son is a small 10 year old. anyways....the instructor let my wife shoot a semi auto 20gauge. she loved it. lol rutrow. who has a 20ga semi auto for cheap? lol Telco was a nice range ( I may join as its 20 minutes from my house) and the instructors were very nice and helpful. Nick

Very cool. congrats on the success. I have a serious question. Has anyone tried eating one? if so how was it? Reason I ask is my wife and son just got there hunter education cert yesterday and my son was asking whats in season besides turkey. lol. My son has been taught that anything we shoot we have to use/eat. Over the years (long time ago) I have killed a couple for farmers but never tried to eat them. just curious if anyone has tried it. again congrats on the success. I see those pics and I see lots of cows/horses happy that there will less holes to step in. Nick

Welcome. Burlington county resident as well. Nick

the Mossbergs i shot favored Winchester ammo. I honestly haven't seen the benefit of 3 1/2" ammo. is more expensive and recoil is insane. I 've killed a few with 3" Winchester supreme #5s. this season im trying a 20gauge and im using the hevi shot blend in 3" 20ga. it a mixture of 5, 6, and 7 shot. in NJ you cant use shot smaller than 7 1/2. just an fyi. If you had to pick one shell/brand I'd go with 3" Winchester in 5s. shoot at 20, 30 and 40 yards. use the free targets off of the NJ fish game site(you print them). Nick

Thanks guys. yea after I posted I got off my arse and dug a little bit on Fish & game website. Thanks again. Nick

anybody know where the get the dvd/paperwork in Burlington county area? I asked at dicks sporting goods and he said they don't carry them anymore. should I just do the online route (pay). its for my wife and 10 year old son. Thanx. Signed them up for the 4/11 class at Telco. Neither may end up actually hunting but both enjoy shooting and I look at this as training and any training is good training. Nick

Edlemans. blast from the past. grew up in Pennsauken (im 40 now) and that place WAS my ToY store. lol. We would go to edlemans, strattons, and another smallplace in medford (mikes). get most ammo online. may go to sportsmnens or Cheyenne. sometimes to dicks sporting goods as I have 3 of them within 20 minutes of me. Nick

I just think the newspaper was incorrect in there wording. The only rifle he could have had legally for deer was a muzzle loading rifle. Or a regular if he was coyote hunting. Again I think the paper is misinformed.

Hello from another Burlington county neighbor. Nick

Welcome to the site. im not far from ya. I currently am not at a particular range member at this moment but check out Telco(atco) and Range 14 at fort dix. Nick

yea it happens (not recovering). if/when I knock a bird down I try to get to the spot as soon as possible....SAFELY.

awesome! congrats! Nick

/\ what he said. show up and they will put you thru. they aren't turning down an opportunity to make a few $$. Nick

Yes you can bring your own dog. Nick

with a double late in the year I have high brass 6s in the first barrel and high brass 5s in the 2nd barrel. hunting over a dog with a single barrel gun I' have the IC choke in the gun and have 7 1/2s as the first shot and 6s as follow up. Nick

very nice. please don't post a pic of that meal as I will either break a finger going for it or chip a tooth! lol. sounds like fun. I live 20 minutes from there but have never been there. shame on me. Im off every third weekend and every Tuesday if someone needs a 4th! lol. congrats on the great day. Nick

I'd be game for an outing. depends on date. keep us posted! Hope it was a blast! Nick

Have shotgun. will travel. lol Nick

I'd start with pyrodex for now. get your gun/scope sighted in and on paper. I've shot pyrodex in my encore. no issues. Nick

I've used blackhorn and I like it. its a little less smoke at the shot and does clean up a little easier but I think powder/gun/bullet still has to be tweaked and researched by the shooter to see what works best in your gun when it comes to accuracy. its not a shortcut for accuracy. marketing would lead you to believe so but its not the case. I've never tried the pellets b/c I've seen a couple interesting situations with them at ranges so I've chosen to not use them. those situations may have been a shooter issue rather than a pellet issue but for now I'll pass. lol. pyrodex in my T/C White Mountain Carbine and blackhorn in my T/C Stainless Encore. 275gr T/C maxi hunter in front of 80gr of pyrodex in the WMC and 80gr of BH behind a T/C cheapshot 250gr all lead saboted bullet. no need for a jacketed bullet on deer in this general area. I get pass thrus 9 out of 10 times. most deer will less than 150lb and by big game standards they are thin skinned and on the small side. Nick

youth model in either Remington 870 or Mossberg 500. 20 ga. barrel is shorter (home defense). both have different placement of the safety. comes down to personal preference. with todays ammo the 20ga can keep up with the 12 on the clay/skeet field. as for home defense 20ga does have a factory loads for buckshot. #2 and or #3 buckshot. I've used it on deer out to 25 yards no problem. Im fairly certain the bad guys cannot tell the difference between 12ga or a 20ga in the dark or between 12ga buck or 20ga buck. especially inside of 30'. lol. Nick

Cool. Let us know how he makes out. Nick
