The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[Boosh]

Hey, you got the Tracker back in action? Nice!

And what in the Sam Hell is Busch Light Peach?!?

I was thinking the same thing about the cases of LBL Apple..

nice to see the assortment of Genny products there tho, including the Honey Brown's

[Brownski]

Can one of you fact check this to confirm it did indeed happen in upstate? I don’t have a subscription, so not sure the location.

I’m also paywalled but don’t need the downstate times to confirm that one. It’s old news.

Anecdotally, we have been hearing from the real hardcore woodchucks for many years that wolves (and cougars) were slowly making their way back.

more cool toys down to the bible thumpin' speed shop...

[gravitylover]

Thanks. What got me thinking about them was I saw a few hardtops for sale at what seemed like the right price. I figure under 100k for $5k or so is about right. Yeah, 25-33 or so is what I remembered so, good enough.

Fucking dickless wolf trophy hunters. Incel fatasses fellating themselves to their manly kill of the big bad animal

[m2711c]

Agreed.

[m2711c]

the hardtops seem to be less popular, but they gotta be warmer in the winter! i've been tempted to get one just for skiing. slap a ski box on top, put in a bed on the passenger side and it would make a fucking sweet saddleback weekend roadtrippin' machine...

[gravitylover]

A friend had one in the late 80s and he strung a few straps across the ceiling and slid his skis in from the back. I don't remember how he attached them but I do remember he couldn't put his SG skis in because they were too long.

Well, the guy thought he was shooting a coyote that was stalking him.

Sounds like the hunters version of stand-your-ground

Fucking poor excuses for humans.

Man I hate limp-dick trophy hunters that hide under pretense. Just say it fatass, you love to smoke animals that you don’t eat and don’t threaten you. Fucking choad.

I’m not a hunter, but have No problem with hunters

The rustling in the brush was loud, so Brian Christman raised his muzzleloader for the deer he expected to emerge. It was the end of the season in central New York, and Mr. Christman was hoping to take home a buck.

Instead, he saw what looked like a big, white dog staring at him. Suddenly, Mr. Christman felt like the prey. He was wearing a scent that made him smell like a doe in heat. He lined up the animal in his scope and pulled the trigger.

“I thought it was a huge coyote,” Mr. Christman recalled recently.

It wasn’t. And the shot would open a new, uncertain front in the wars over what might be America’s most beloved and reviled predator. Genetic analysis and other testing revealed that the 85-pound animal killed in December 2021 was actually a gray wolf that had eaten a wild diet. By all indications, it was not an escaped captive.

A cluster of passionate conservationists in the region has long claimed that wolves are finding their way from Canada or the Great Lakes to the forests of the upper Northeast. To them, the one shot near Cooperstown is evidence that government agencies need to do more to seek out and safeguard the animals.

Its legal to shoot coyotes any time in NY. According to the NYSDEC there aren’t any wolves in NY

[BmillsSkier]

Understood. I too have no problem with hunters. I enjoy the fruits of their labor. I just hate killing under false pretenses and trophy hunters, especially wolf killers.

Agree 100%

I was a zoology major in college and specialized in mammals of Vermont. I was driving just west of Cambridge, NY a few years back and saw a large cat (I estimated it to weigh 80-100 lbs) about 100 yards away. I stopped to try to get a picture but I spooked it and it was into the woods before I could get my phone in camera mode. I called the DEC the next day and reported a mountain lion sighting and gave them the exact location. They obviously thought I was nuts because they kept telling me I didn't see a mountain lion. I asked them what other feline with a long (almost body length), thick tail weighs 80-100 pounds? They kept telling me I was mistaken even after I told them my academic background. Make no mistake, there are mountain lions out there.

I believe you. Speaking of animals that show up where they’re not supposed to be- I just posted this in the shark thread too:

https://www.news10.com/news/local-ne...-hudson-river/

And for the record I saw a monster sized Alligator Snapping Turtle in the Catskills and emailed DEC about it. They ghosted me too.

Would you look at that fucking thing.

Was this shark far enough north to be Upstates?

[Brownski]

Oh yeah, that may even be far enough north to be the Capital District. You’d have to be a total pervert to say that wasn’t upstate.

[BmillsSkier]

Upstates shark, do do do do do do….

Hudson Valley is upstate, right? I hope you all are OK with the 7-10” of rain (so far) today.

Yeah it looks bad

[gravitylover]

It's definitely a mess. All sorts of roads are closed, some are gone like 9W on Storm King Mtn. There are big sections of totally washed out train tracks with no ground left under the rails along the river. I saw a picture of Rt 22 a few miles north of me under at least 5 feet of water with no evidence of the old house that used to be there. I'm at a hair under 8" since about 10am yesterday.
