    Should hunting be uncomfortable? -Bringing up young hunters

    I think it depends on the age and experience of the kid. Once they have made a kill or gotten close it can be more like the fire is lit in them, and they are more willing to endure harsher conditions. But really little ones… usually all they know is “I’m bored and freezing and I hate this”

    Recheck Zero After Removing and Installing Stock?

    I’d check it before I’d trust it.

    Anyone find it ironic...

    I don’t even read the content, or in fact know who these guys are…. I’m just here for the memes.

    Ammo speed BS ?

    I never even read the box dope or even ballistic table dope. I verify at the range, then modify to altitude and temp.

    Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

    Mine weighs 35 lbs with 100 oz of water. That’s for a late-ish season hunt where snow is expected. I carry enough stuff to survive the night in a snowstorm. I’m 66 years old and typically hunt in very steep wilderness at 8-10k elevation. Edit: Rifle fully ready 7.5 lbs. total weight...

    Neck shot ethics

    The idea is to hit the spinal column. It’s a pretty small target compared to the lungs. For me it’s an ethical shot around 100 yards with a rock solid rest because I’m dead certain I can hit that small target. Poor rest or over 150 yards it not ethical for me to take that shot. I am and...

    What hunter stage are you in?

    If I had a nickname it would be “Dink”. I prolly fall into the sportsman stage but I never went through the trophy stage. For me putting numbers on racks makes it competitive, and I don’t want it to be a competition. Boys just wanna have fun.

    Shooting near homes?

    If you lived in one of those houses how would you feel about someone popping off a rifle in your direction. You made the right choice.

    Oregon hunting guide killed by accidental discharge

    Oh man….!! I’m gonna save that one up for my next argument (explaining session) It’s exactly like “I’m sorry ma’am, I don’t make the rules. I just think em up and write em down.”

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    I thought deer were s’posed to black out when shot with tht round, If you’re really slick you can scare em into the back of your truck right after they wake up but right before they die and save yourself a ton of trouble. True dat.

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    The lack of interest in simple ballistics and lack of concern for his prey is astonishing.

    Oregon hunting guide killed by accidental discharge

    It depends on what you mean by the word “is”. Quote from Bill Clinton trying to explain. In my experience, people who regularly muzzle flag others are oblivious thoughtless A holes in general. So in addition to being unsafe they’re often not that fun to be around.

    Eld-x not performing as expected

    When I was still pretty new at it I spent about 20 frantic minutes haphazardly looking for a deer that had only run about 30 yards and dropped in the sage. Then I left my pack there, went back to where I took the shot, and realized my search area was not where he was standing when he was hit...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Man I wish my gramma woulda talked smack about me and bought me six rifles…. OTOH, poor kid if his first time pulling a trigger is a weatherby magnum.

    Eld-x not performing as expected

    I’ve been shooting mule deer since 1980. My usual shot is through the chest behind the shoulder. Sometimes the angle will put the exit through the off side shoulder. I’ve only seen a couple that dropped right there…. Most hump up at the shot and then run until they pass out. A variety of...

    ****Lost kifaru pack!!!!****

    I for one am sorry that you didn’t. I encourage you to do so on any occasion and for the slightest reason. Not knowing the meaning of “ kifaru” , I thought this was gonna be a rant thread about morally compromised wolves.

    Can we legalize suppressors now?

    Politics makes strange bedfellows. Been true for 5,000 years. As far as the new administration, the guy’s actually been shot at and it seems it might happen again. (There are a number of Dems who have guns and know how to use them). So I doubt if he’s in favor of tech that makes a gunshot...
