Sooo.... About this Hunter Education workbook...
I wouldn't take money from anyone to hunt with me. I don't pay to use the property, except for posted signs once a year. And bait in my feeder, and I'm doing that if you come or not. I work on the farmers buildings and property from time to time in return. I'm a plumber, everyone needs me sooner or later lol. Well with a bow you can hunt deer & Turkey. Some guys do small game with a bow but that's not for beginners for sure. in Jersey a shotgun is really a must for hunting. Coyote, fox, and ground hog are the only animals you can go after with your AR legally. I recommend you pick up a Mossberg 500 or a Remington 870. Then you can go rabbit, squirrel, Pheshant, turkey, crow, waterfowl, and just about anything else legal to hunt here. I have an arsenal of shotguns if you need one to hunt with for the day. But you have some time before anything opens up, groundhog is open now and for most of the summer but that's about it till fall. Turkey is just ending now. Maybe crow is open as well but I'd have to look it up. I have all the gear to crow hunt, but it's been a few years since I went out for them. Fun birds to go after, they're smart as F#*K, it's a challenge. For your first hunt I really recommend small game, squirrel opens first in September, rabbit, and pheshant a bit after that. archery deer begins the second week in September as well.

Wrangler considerations
Buy a Honda, they're made in America by American workers completely. Honda is the 3rd largest American producer of automobiles just an FYI.

Wrangler considerations
The Wrangler YJ'S after 1992 manual trans with a Chrysler Corp built 4.0L fuel injected HO engine, is the Asin AX15 5 speed. I'm on my 4th one since 1994 when I bought mine. They usually go for around $1K used for a decent one. Next time mine takes a dump (and I know it will) I'm upgrading to the NV3550 like the late model TJ'S came factory with. I really wish I had an automatic trans in mine, I hate rock crawling with the stick it sucks. I have a hand throttle on my shifter that makes it better, but still a PITA. Sometimes you need 3 feet. When the AX15 goes it's usually the main shaft bearings that blow apart, last time it happened to me it also took out the NP231 transfer case with it when it grenaded. Metal hit the floor boards, and blew pieces all over the road. Which is why I decided to bite the bullet and spend the $2,500 to have advanced adaptors build me an Atlas II. They're gear driven, no chain, twin stick so you get the extra 2wd low range, 4.3:1 ratio for creepy crawling. Pretty much indestructible. Monster trucks run the same thing only larger. Now if you wind up buying a YJ with a 4cyl 2.5L the manual trans is an AX5 in the later models, earlier models came with the AX4. Both break often and are really hard to come by since they break so much. YJ'S before 1992 with 4.2L AMC L6 carborated (junk pile that run like garbage and won't pass emissions no matter how much you screw with the carb ) , usually had the peguot split case 5 speed. I really believe that is probably the worst transmission ever built on planet earth ever put into any vehicle lol.... What else you want to know about wranglers from 87-95? Gotta check the YJ frames as well, they rott in the front near the bumper and steering box, also in the back past the wheel well arches, near the rear bumper. But not as badly as the TJ'S do from what I've seen. BTW bro, driving a YJ every day will not be fun. There's a reason it's my toy and no longer my daily driver. I bought a brand new Dodge Hemi pick up for that reason a decade ago. Although mine has over 200K on the original engine, only thing I've ever done to it was re gasket the entire engine, replace my rear main seal, new oil pump while I had the pan down, checked the rod and main bearings for ware (no copper showing at all) oil pressure still 40psi at idol warm. New water pump once and new radiator once. Ran it on Mobile 1 since I bought it, and tune it up once a year, plugs, wires, cap rotor, and clean the K&N. That's it in all those years. It needs a timing chain and gears this summer I can hear them making noise. But I can put the key in it and it starts up and takes me wherever I want to go. Not comfortably, but it will get me there. I drive it to Florida Mass for Florida Vacation every summer, and usually once down to OC Maryland for Jeep week. On the trailer behind my truck, It's gone to Harlin KY, Uwharrie NC, R-creek, AOAA, the old Paragon, and PA jeep week. One day I'll drag it out to Moab, and possibly Rubicon. That's my dream trip.

Amen to that! Way better ride all around. Although mine rides decent with the 36" Irok's at 17psi and the progressive BDS springs. Stock it was a kidney breaker. I almost did the fabtec coil spring conversion to mine, until I priced it out and realized I could buy an entire TJ for the same price. I already have an atlas II and front and rear G2 44's that's about $10K in drive train alone, I was too deep to go for a TJ at that point. My next rig will be a JK Rubicon. I dig the 10th anniversary edition.

If you're look at a YJ 92-95 would be the only years I would look at with a 4.0L. 95 being the best year because of the galvanized tub. 97-99 TJ'S aren't as good as 2000 to 06. The first 3 years had issues with drive train manual transmission models were still using the YJ AX15 (I'm on my 4th in 20 years), and the three speed automatic sucked those first 3 years. In 2000 the switched to a 4 speed auto, and the NV3550 manual trans. Both way better. My recommendation would be to look at getting as new of a TJ as you can afford, with a 4.0L. an 03 Rubicon would be nice because it has Dana 44 front and rear axles with lockers and a lower ratio transfer case. But they're still fetching 10K for a beat up one. If you can't swing a Rubi, look for an "X" xtreem model they have a rear D44 axle, instead of the weak D35, it still has the front D30 but at least it's half a Rubicon. The frames are an issue on some TJ's. Check where the front control arm mounts attach to the frame, that's usually where they go first. Also where the transfer case skid plate bolts to the frame that's the other notorious soft spot. This is my 92 4.0L yj 6.5" BDS suspension, 1" body, full cage, front and rear Locked D44 axles, Atlas II, on 36" swamper Irok Radials. Metal Cloak front and rear fenders coming soon...

Sooo.... About this Hunter Education workbook...
I will take you for deer when your ready. I hunt private property in Mendham Twp. It's a farm and I have hurds on the property to harvest. I can bring a guest. I've got a few stands set up. The only hitch is its archery only. I haven't gun hunted for deer in a few years myself. Kinda sounds crazy coming from a firearms enthusiast I know. But I just really prefer archery anyway. Small game and waterfowl I still take the gun though. Take your bow test at the same time and you're welcome to join me.

Annual kids fishing derby Saturday May 16th
Fishing derbies are something close to my heart as well. They're the times you relish the memory of when you're older, and you old man isn't there anymore. It's the kind of thing kids really need from their parents, quality time... This is why I have no problems running this one, with the Sussex Federation of Sportsmen’s clubs every year. Always worth my time and effort to make it happen.

Sooo.... About this Hunter Education workbook...
They teach you how to field dress during the walk through. Or next time I pierce a heart with an arrow this fall I will gladly allow you to come and field dress it for me. Lol... I'll teach you how to do it quickly and efficient. It's something you actually have to do first hand to really get it. I've gutted well over 100 deer in my hunting career. I'm pretty good at it. I actually did it with a sharp rock once when I forgot my knife in the truck. I will say it's the thing I least look forward to when I hunt. I've actually passed up shooting deer that were legal because I just didn't feel like gutting one at that moment... it's pretty gross, and if you make a mistake you're going to regret it trust me.

Sooo.... About this Hunter Education workbook...
Keep in mind that 10 year old kids also take this test. Also keep in mind how few hunting accidents we hear about in NJ involving firearms. Most are mechanical injury from falling out of tree stands, or twisting an ankle hiking through the woods in the dark. Their program definitely works, and it's designed for kids as well as complacent adults.... most of us had dad's to teach us this stuff at a young age, some didn't. Many people taking this test have never handled a firearm ever, they need to be told at least once during the test what not to do. And having been a licensed hunter since 1987 I've actually witnessed people I thought knew better doing really stupid shit with shotguns. Climbing over an obstacle like a dead blow with a loaded gun in hand is one such example that comes to mind.

Annual kids fishing derby Saturday May 16th
I know there's a few that already happened. In Vernon/Highland Lakes by the firehouse pond they do a derby every year I'm not sure of the dates though. As soon as we have some rain and you don't have to walk down a vertical enbankment we will be doing the sussex federation derby. Wish I could give everyone a date, but it's contingent on mother nature giving us some much needed precipitation. Another federation chapter in south jersey already did theirs as well. Your closer to central jersey correct? I'll keep my eyes open for anything that comes up. I'm pretty sure that Horseshoe lake in Roxbury twp. (Morris county) has a derby for kids as well. Horseshoe lake derby is June 6th. In the morning. http://roxburynj.us/index.aspx?NID=349 I checked the vernon PAL derby was on May 16th. Same day as ours was slated for. The city of Plainfield has one on the 13th of June as well http://www.plainfield.com/recreation-divisions.aspx

Do I have "Justifiable Need" ???
It would only not have happened if they made issuance of a driver's license, available only by means of showing "Justifiable need" to obtain one.....

Do I have "Justifiable Need" ???
Lol what a tool... definitely an unstable person, he belongs in jail if that's his answer to a sinking business. Like killing you would actually solve his problems, he should have just burnt your shit down hahha.... now that would have been a solution All kidding aside, if I were you I would apply. Worst case scenario they deny you and you join the Almeida lawsuit. And possibly the SAPPA initiative.
-
Do I have "Justifiable Need" ???
Only one person can give you an answer to that question. It's the judge you're going to stand before after you apply. My personal opinion is yes, we all have justifiable need. But what we think really dosent matter in this state unfortunately. Why did this guy want to run you over anyway? You must have done something to piss him off lol... I'm glad for you, he wasn't successful.

help picking a new grill
Having an electric stove, since there's no natural gas where I live. That side burner on my Webber Silver really came in handy during hurricane Sandy. When I replace it with a Genisis eventually, I'll get another side burner. I like using it to do the corn on the Cobb during a cookout. It's nice not to have to run in and out of the house, trying to cook in two places at once.
