RC K9

I have probably seen that like 20 times and laugh way too hard each time.

Hyde Park and The Elevator are good. One place I never ate while I lived in Columbus but heard great things about was The Refectory.

SS's are BA. There are a few down here. One I saw making 700whp+, and man they sound nasty.

I wish I had seen this before I left columbus. :/

Get a catch can. Oil vapors lower your fuel's octane level rather significantly. Kevin at Kiggly did some interesting research on it a year or 2 ago.

The wife and I found Westworld very intriguing and we enjoyed it. And yeah, there is a reason TWD viewership is at a 4yr low. Because it fkn sucks. I don't think I have ever seen a show drug out so much where each individual storyline is drawn out over an hour and a half of seat time, which translates into 20min of actual show time and 1hr 10min of commercials. Fk that show. I wish Aliens would show up and nuke them all.

I raced a guy with a 2012 5.0 that had a cat back and tune. 390rwhp. Thats not far off from 400rwhp...

I found this article to be interesting, especially since I plan on stepping up to a divided t4 turbo sometime within the next year. http://dsportmag.com/the-tech/twin-scroll-vs-single-scroll-turbo-test-the-great-divide/

Classy.

I guess I need to continue to look elsewhere whenever I make trips to central OH as I see people even in bow season. :/ Both at dillon wildlife area and also this past thanksgiving when I joined my buddy in the bow only section along alum creek up in sunbury. Was happy to get out in the woods for the first time in over 6yrs, and sure enough, couldn't make it 4hrs without seeing another bow hunter.

I'd beg to differ. These deer in this park are very leary of people and I have never been able to get very close, and they certainly bolt if they know you are there. Shooting fish in a barrel is not what I am after. Same premise as my dislike of hunting stock pheasant. If I didn't think these deer were as wild as deer outside city limits, I wouldn't even be intrigued by it.

Do how does one get permission to hunt dillon and deleware wildlife areas? Is there a special form you have to get signed for those areas somewhere?

Found it. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/71870.html Maps of the different areas are further down. looks like some aren't there anymore, but I certainly remember some of the ones that are. 73, 65, 36 and 37...ahhh man. this is bringing back some good memories.

Nope. At least not directly. I'm not sure if the owners received some kind of monies from the state or not, which would obviously mean we indirectly paid with our taxes, but hunters never paid for anything. Simply call in, reserve, check in, check out.

Honestly, I liked the way they did it in the area I used to hunt in central NY as a kid. It was a co-op of private land with #'s assigned. Land owners got first say if they wanted to hunt, but otherwise, you had to call in and reserve a plot of land for the day, and you checked in at this little station before you hit the field and checked out when you were done. It kept you from having to compete with other hunters in the field, and for the most part, it was regulated who was on what plot and when. Safer that way IMO, and was really awesome of the land owners to donate their land to safe hunting.

i've had slugs come a little too close for comfort during deer season, and fields of bozos unloading 12ga's without a thought as to what's behind the target they all missed during the first few weeks of pheasant season. I'll pass. I go to the woods to get away from people, and oddly enough, I see people more often on public games lands than I do in the areas in this particular public park where I see all the deer. Are a majority of hunters out there good, safe hunters? I would guess yes. But I have seen too many of them that have no business being in the field.

If I could hunt that particular park, I would be making a trip up there again (I just got back from columbus 2 days ago) this winter or next fall. I LOVE NE woods in the fall. I just will not go hunt public land, especially public land that i'm not familiar with, and finding someone to let you hunt private land seems to be a near impossible task. I did have access to land was out past Mt Sterling that I used to rabbit hunt on, and I had seen some very nice bucks, but the problems is, it's hundreds of acres of fields, so if you don't catch a deer at just the right time on just the right hedge row, you aren't bagging ish because the closest wooded property is not property I had permission to hunt on. :/

Sorry for the poor quality pics...the camera on my phone hasn't worked right for a while. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a461/RyanCorlew/IMAG3552_zpswnglnqab.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a461/RyanCorlew/IMAG3551_zpsynhccdyb.jpg

Man that looks like a nice price on a bow... If I could do it perfectly legally, hunting in this particular park would not be a PITA. I have seen deer, big deer, nearly every time I go. I know all the spots i'd hit up which are HEAVILY traveled by deer. I know someone was bow hunting in the back of the park years ago because I saw the little deer piss scent swap thing dangling from a tree as I was exploring. As for shotguns, I had an older Winchester 1300 smooth bore that served me VERY well. It was a light weight, accurate shotgun. Aaaaand...then it was stolen. I haven't been able to find a replacement for it since

I ask because I know that some of the suburbs DO allow hunting, but its on a specifically authorized basis and the hunters are required to take a class administered by the PD. FWIW the park I am thinking of and have been going to for over 10yrs is 100 acres and has some pretty big bucks and some nice sized does as well. As for seasons and limits, I am aware of those as I have been hunting to one extent or another for the last 20yrs. I wasn't asking if I could go kill animals out of their regular hunting season. As for being "safe", I don't know about that. I hate hunting popular public land as I have found it to be incredibly unsafe. There are a lot of idiots out there shooting at things they have no business shooting at.

Can you cite the ordinance(s) that state express permission is required? I could only find where it said "privilege" which I addressed above. Also, what city codes would you be referring to?

It's not me wanting to be a crusader. Its just me wanting to possibly do what I am legally allowed to do. (I have been given a LOT of false info by government employees/public servants in the past. I would think citing the ordinances and definitions above should be enough for any reasonable office to say, "ok, be safe and have a good day" if there was an encounter.) If it was a possibility of a long drawn out legal battle, i'd have no interest, but based on what I am reading in the city ordinances, I don't know how it would come to that.

Alright bow hunters, I have two separate questions pertaining to bow hunting. I have grown up hunting, and I did a LOT in my younger years, but I just never got into bow, so here it goes: I am looking into getting a crossbow. I know in some states you can't hunt with a crossbow, though I believe it IS legal in OH unless the law has changed since I moved. That being said, what do I need to look for in a bow? Any quality companies I should look at in particular? Also, what would I be looking to spend? I don't need the best in the world, though I don't want garbage. I want reliability. Kind of like guns, I have never had an uber awesome gun, but when it comes to shotguns, I like the older winchesters, and the good ole Remington 870. I have never liked Mossbergs because of their safety location and they always feel like rickety junk. I know plenty of people that like mossbergs, but I have just never cared for them. So that being said, give me your recommendations and reasoning. Now onto questions #2. What are your interpretations of the law in regards to bow hunting city parks? I know that some suburbs have special programs where a certain amount of hunters are allowed to hunt certain pieces of registered land and have to go through a training course with the PD and blah blah blah. BUT, I want to know in regards to Columbus City Limits. Now, I called the Columbus Department of Parks and Rec and talked to Ron Swanson, (ha ha, I wish. Son, you don't need permission from the government to kill your food. Don't ask, just do it.) In all seriousness though, the lady I spoke with said that hunting in city parks was NOT allowed as it was "against city ordinance." She did NOT cite the ordinance. I did some digging and this is what I found: Title 9, chapter 919, section 919.15-Archery "No person, without privilege to do so, shall use any crossbow, bow, arrow, slingshot or any other projectile propelling device." https://www.municode.com/library/oh/columbus/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT9STPAPUPRCO_CH919PARURE_919.15AR Look at the part that says "without privilege to do so". It does not just have a blanket prohibition. It prohibits UNLESS you have privilege. So then I look up the definition of "privilege" and I get this: Title 23, Chapter 2301, Section 2301.01 Subsection L ""Privilege" means an immunity, license, or right conferred by law, or bestowed by express or implied grant, or arising out of status, position, office, or relationship, or growing out of necessity." https://www.municode.com/library/oh/columbus/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT23GEOFCO_CH2301DEGEPR_2301.01DE Under that definition, "license, or right conferred by law..." So under that definition, if I have a hunting license, that IS my license and as such, my right conferred by law to hunt. Lastly, under Chapter 2327, section 2327.16, subsection A; "No unauthorized person shall hunt, trap, molest or kill any wild animal. This section shall not apply to property owners on their own property." https://www.municode.com/library/oh/columbus/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT23GEOFCO_CH2327AN_2327.16KIMOWIAN The term "unauthorized" I would think would be covered under my hunting license as that license authorizes me to hunt. And since a bow is NOT a firearm as per the definition above, I COULD legally hunt in a city park as I would not be violating any city ordinances. No firearm, and I have a hunting license. Is there anything anyone can add, or point out that I may be missing or misinterpreting?

I'm with forcefed.

Lets say pre-crash your carmax would have given you $10000. After the accident and your repairs, due to the accident, carmax will now only give you $8700. The value of your vehicle depreciated $1300. Now, the Ins co will come up with their own bogus value. I would advise you to actually get quotes from some various dealerships on precrash and post crash offers, but if you are satisfied with what the Ins Co offers as depreciated value, obviously you can always accept that. I am finding out more and more people don't know you can do that. I did it on my truck after a UPS truck bumped in to me and the outcome was HILARIOUS. I still smile when I think about how that situation turned out.
