Some cool stuff going on here in NY [warning long read]
« on: February 25, 2010, 11:12:09 AM »
Ok so as some of you know my dad is a taxidermist...that said we get some interesting stuff in the shop...now when I bought my hunting license this year, in the regulations book they had an article about wild boars becoming a problem here in NY...they stated that they can be hunted at anytime and in any number...so I was like oh that's cool... but what are the odds of seeing one... well apparently there pretty good!!! Because we got a phone call a couple months back, and the guy wanted to get one mounted or "stuffed" as you guys might know it... turns out he has been seeing them a lot and they seem to be all over the place... a couple guys I know are going to hunt them in a couple weeks on some state land not to far from me... I can't go on this trip but I will be able to go by myself at some point in the near future...sooo anyway I contacted the DEC today and asked about how the unprotected regs affect airguns for hunting them...I will keep you guys posted on the info I am given...but as of right now it looks like PH has something to use "the beast" on :]... Oooh by the way I have changed my gun design...I will try and get some pics as soon as possible for you all...and I ran the #'s on ggdt and I came up with a 400fpe with my 180 RB configuration...so that's exciting...and I will be ordering parts very soon to finish my gun

That would be awesome to take a wild hog with a homemade airgun. I hope they will allow you to use yours. I know here in MO, you dont even have to have a license to take wild hogs. They really want to be rid of them.
