Took the words right out of my mouth.

Unless you are hunting lions with a knife, it's not a sport

But it sure would be intersting

Mmm, make venison jerky

 

[Strk]

Personally, I don't see how hunting is any accomplishment; at least you're eating what you killed, so it's not senseless.

Wtf... He has been posting news in Off Topic and off topic in P&N.

I'm not familiar with hunting, but what do people do with the animal when they arent going to eat it? Just leave it in the woods to rot? Put it in a dumpster?

Hunting is OK with me if you use it, then its no different from buying meat at a supermarket. And the animal doesn't suffer.

How the hell did you kill a deer with a shotgun? Much less that far away? Were you using slugs or something???

It must have been gay, a Democrat, or both...

Easy, point and shoot. I'm guessing with a slug, even coarse buck shot is gonna spread too much at that range.

Just talked to my dad yesterday, he went chasing elk in a reserve in Western Maine the other day. Found one in a group he liked, but they made him as he was anglin for a shot. On the way back he took a fallow, just shy of 200yd. with a .243 Not too big though, I think he said a buck fifty dressed.

I realize the mechanics of firearm usage, but thanks for clarifying.

Who seriously takes a 12 gauge to hunt for deer though?

 

[Entropy007]

A shotgun is the most gun you can use for deer hunting in Massachusetts. I don't hunt here because no self respecting Yooper can possibly hunt without a rifle.

Tomorrow. I promise.

Congrats on your first deer, Rip. Good shooting. Not bad for a shotgun.

Yeah, please post some pics. I'd like to see your "skinhead" (that's KY slang for a doe shot on a hunt).

 

[kage69]

Who seriously takes a 12 gauge to hunt for deer though?

2 types of people: those who wish to comply with the hunting laws of certain states, and those who can't shoot. Slugs have a fair amount of arc to them for long range shooting, so either rip here can shoot or got pretty lucky.


How big was it anyway?

In other more important news.......I just saved money on my car insurance by switching to Geico !

Nah, the guy can pick up a deer that someone ran over and take a picture with it. It's too late now. Take the pic before it's in the freezer next time. And make sure it's not from the road

I live in Western NY so only shotguns are legal for deer hunting.

It was a small doe. I'm guessing about 150 lbs.

What do you mean luck, of course it was skill!

I only went to the range once with the gun and I only put around 8 rounds through it, so I was pleased with myself, especially since I've never a harvested a big game before.

Yeah, you use a deer slug.

Wow, mang. Nice shootin'. :thumbsup: Maybe the crazy libs in P&N will start showing you a little more respect.

Got nothing against hunting or gun ownership, but I think you are a tool, so here's to hoping you slip a disc while cooking your venison steaks :beer:

Yep. Pretty much. I'll go with this one.

Way to go fcukwit. Maybe next time you can shoot one of your friends, I hear that's popular. Or even better, they may shoot you.

When was the last time you ate meat?

Yesterday, but there's plenty of meat in places called shops/grocery stores/whatever. There's no need to run around with a gun wasting wild animals and creaming your pants about it (unless you're retarded). Some achievement killing an animal with a shotgun, does he want a medal?

Go one on one with a bear instead. That'd be a good pay-per-view, not very long but guaranteed to be funny.

Yeah it's best to let them over populate and die of starvation and disease that accompamies over population.:roll:

So let 'em. That's the way it was before.

Seeing as certain parts of the world are over-populated, maybe we should go round shooting and eating humans too cos gun crime and hunting accidents aren't cutting the mustard. We need more death.

Ever see the conditions your typical for-meat animal is raised in? Killing and eating something that lived in the wild is relatively "more moral" in the grand scheme of things.

How silly. It's OK to enslave an animal and then kill it for food, but it's not OK to allow it to live free, and then use some skill to kill it for food?

Let's face it. Your viewpoint is hypocritical and logically untenable. It's culturally biased and not based on empathy for the animal at all. If it were, you'd have the courage of your convictions and be a vegan.

And as I said in another hunting thread, those who think it is easy to hunt have obviously never hunted. Give them a gun and throw them in the woods and the vast majority would starve.

Let's simply state facts here. At least he had the mental and physical ability to kill and clean his own food rather than hide behind a slaughter house and butcher like a squeamish pansy.
