I recently started stargazing with binoculars, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I just can't get enough of looking at the Milky Way and the Northern Lights. I have been following a couple of blogs on stargazing, and really like the http://www.space.com daily wallpapers. I just saw this one, and put it up on my computer.

Big hame hunting with air rifles might be coming to NY soon

Big hame hunting with air rifles might be coming to NY soon Find more on: http://www.thebinocularsguy.com/

I came across this very interesting article on Field and Stream earlier today. While this has not been approved yet, I find it fascinating to see the debate around the issue. There are people who are opposing this game law, on the grounds that the air rifles might not have enough power to kill big game in a humane way. I, for one, believe that it might be very dangerous hunting big game with air rifles, as you do not want to run into an injured big game animal. As a side note, remember to check out my top picks for hunting binoculars of 2016.   In late December, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation announced that it is considering amending the state’s game laws to allow big-game hunting with air-powered rifles beginning with the 2016 season. “The popularity of air-powered firearms is growing, largely because of technological advancements," DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos told The Poughkeepsie Journal. "These modern firearms produce the force necessary to efficiently harvest big-game animals. In addition, because big-bore air rifles are not as loud as conventional rifles or shotguns, allowing their use may make hunting more acceptable in locations with higher human densities, including areas where deer are overabundant.” Source: http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/field-notes/new-york-considers-big-game-hunting-with-air-rifles-0

Scouting the Off-Season

The blog post Scouting the Off-Season is republished from http://www.thebinocularsguy.com

The hunting season is over and you are thinking of collecting back your trail cameras. Well, this is actually not your only option. You can choose to keep your camera up even during off-season. When you continue to run your trail cameras all year round, you will be able to capture great photos of those animals who have survived the year. You can even set up some bait like a pile of corn to draw them near to film if that is legal in your area. Another use of your camera during off-seasons is shed hunting. There is a possibility that a one-antlered buck has dropped his antler somewhere near your camera and it could possibly happen again. However, there are some considerations to take when you opt to leave your camera running all throughout the year. First and foremost is the cold. If you live in an area where there is winter season, you have to use batteries that will be able to handle the cold. Aside from this, you should also check out your camera and change the batteries before snow starts to fall. With this, you will not leave any tracks that will lead other people to it. This is especially if you hunt on a state land. It is also important to note that camera thefts increase during off-season. It may be best to take extra precaution just to avoid you trail camera from being stolen.
