Elmer Fudd stories from the 2025 season?

[amassi]

Getting my bear validated at fish and game, shooting the shit with the biologist after she pulled the tooth and ole boy comes waddling up and asked what I shot said bear with. I told him and he said “that’s too small for bear, you need to bring enough gun…”
The bio looked him in the face and said “it was enough for this one”

Undeterred he then says I’m playing with fire with my truck tires (bfg AT KO3s) because he got stuck in some mud in his k5 back in 1989 with all terrains and he’ll never use them again. Thanked him for his generous insight.

For some reason I feel like I’d be on the old timers side on this one….

Well I can add we took our chains off the first day, camped in the unit that had 2' of fresh snow, and we broke 50% of the trails in the unit the 4 days prior. We just laughed as they came in from a town north of the unit and didnt camp in the snow. We did fill 3 of our 4 tags and had to cross a river at night to skin out a cow elk. Then never left the rig to hunt they said.

I wonder how many of the Rokslide FNG’s are the Fudds in these hunting tales???

I'm thinking back to my first mule deer hunt on public land in Wyoming over a decade ago..... it might have been me.

Imagine the stories you would hear working at a gun shop

That was nice of your cousin to do that for you, while you waited..

An older guy today was telling a younger guy some tips about shooting, a couple of which made me laugh. It made me think there have to be others that can be shared.

"Every new gun I get I clean it thoroughly, then I polish the barrel. The polishing takes a couple of hours and gets all of the micro burrs out of the barrel. If you have a spare couple of hours, you are welcome to come over and watch." Then he volunteered that when doing it, he always felt like he was giving the rifle a h*** job.

Maybe this suggestion has more merit? "Clean your gun very frequently, but never go out hunting...
