I have no doubt they offer a great many advantages. Killing things isn’t hard. A PRB will get it done. 45 caliber bullets offer ballistic advantages that don’t add anything to what they are trying to do (limit range as intended) a lighter, smaller bullet flies better and drifts less in the wind...
Forgot that everyone Seems to shoot that way. I guess I shoot them the same without issue because I shoot my light recoil rifles the same as I shoot my heavy ones- only ones that get the minimal touch are ones I only shoot from a bench.

I generally shoot a mix of low power (or 22lr, 223, dasher, etc) and full loads every time I go the range. I bring multiple rifles because I’m there to shoot, not sit around and wait for barrels to cool. I sure wouldn’t shoot nothing but light recoil then head out to hunt with full power. I also...
Guessing they’ll be back to a year by the time I can start that part of the process on my back ordered can [emoji1787]. That’s how my luck works.

Before I left Wyoming I could, but in terms of wake up, short drive hunt, and also walk from home (both from our main house and our cabin). I killed a pile of elk in a 2 mile circle of our main house over the years. Gave up great easy access hunting when I moved to AK, but I do have a freezer...
The mechanics are the same, but you sure cants shoot them in all the same positions or you’re likely to end up with the mark of shame at some point.

^that. One thing that helps is shoot that same rifle, same cartridge with a bunch less recoil. That’s a lot of case to tame down, but I bet with some digging you can find a recipe for a really tame load. I like low speed cast bullet loads for this, but I don’t shoot anything with that much...
I generally give him a couple beers when he’s done. Not sure it counts as a tip when it’s your meat and your beer though.

Depends on which thing you’re saying is 100% avoidable. Being shot by an ND, is not 100% avoidable. What happened to the guide is one thing. SHOOTING someone by ND, is 100% avoidable. What happened with the client (killing a man by accident) WAS 100 percent avoidable.

Well, I suppose you have every right to “not tolerate” that, whatever that means. Just as everyone else has a right to call you out on what seems to be widely received as an incorrect statement. (Ok, dump the sand out of your panties- a technically “correct” statement based on the fact that 100%...
Did anyone but you talk about how armed they are at all times? I’m guessing you’re justifying in your own mind one or more ND’s in your past as things that just happen.

I’m quite far from agreeing with you. Two separate things happened. A guy was shot by a hunter he was guiding. That most likely could have been prevented by the person who was shot if they were correcting bad behavior, as they should be as the person of authority in that setting. That is the...
I think the idiotic point you are trying to make, is that not drinking and driving doesn’t keep you from getting killed by a drunk driver, so why bother. Basic firearm safety can’t keep you from getting shot. That is the point you are arguing, which is technically correct, but absolutely...
I bet he wasn’t correcting a clients bad behavior though. Chances that this guy was following basic firearm safety up until the point he killed his guide are really, really small. Nobody should tolerate even a little unsafe firearm handling. Shame them. Tell them they will not be hunting with...
It’s how Wyoming chose to do it. Alaska has some requirements by species, but also some areas that aren’t open to non residents without guides. I’m sure other states have similar. Some allocated tags for outfitters (I think, never done it). There is a million different ways to distribute a very...
