Unpopular opinions

No wild animal will EVER beat a well raised American steer.

I'll take elk chops over beef any day

At this point I will forever say run just to make grown men upset on the internet.

You certainly do act like a fly fisherman.

Hey you leave my fancy feather on a string out of this.

Unpopular opinion: People saying wild game is better than beef are just trying to be like Rinella. And I don’t necessarily think he is the best thing for hunting.
The meat eater crew would try and make you think if you don’t eat the foreskin off of the deer, you’re being wasteful. If prepared right, it is a great family meal…

Not sure how vehicle towing relates to arrow lethality, nor how that relates to FOC.

It doesn’t. FOC talk is still ridiculous.

Shooting North American game in or right behind the crease is not the perfect broadside shot and we should stop teaching that. Most people, especially inexperienced hunters, shooting for the “crease” actually aim at the shadow of the crease and they’ll almost always shoot further back on the animal and miss the heart and just get double lung (still lethal yes, but more margin for error and tracking)

In reality, if they shoot an inch in front of the crease, that’s a dead center heart shot

Most can’t aim that precisely… the crease is as dead of an animal as a dead heart shot animal.

Opinion: I don’t need to eat every pig that I shoot. In fact I don’t need to eat any of them.

Have had numerous people admonish me for “wasting” “all that good pork”. Yeah well, I’ve eaten enough of them and dealt with enough of them that I’m not anymore. And it would be a full time job to cut up all the ones I kill. They are vermin, end of story and I’ll continue to kill every single one I can get a bullet into. They will be drug to the fence line and left for their brethren and the buzzards to eat.

Deer foreskin is a delicacy! Try it once and you’ll wonder why you’ve ever left them in the field.

My family has a cattle ranch - beef is definitely better than game. I hunt every year and eat game, but I’m lying if I say game is better than a NY or Ribeye.

On the beef vs wild game argument;

I knew a guy from work that grew up in a remote part of Alaska and only ate wild game until he was 16 years old. He said Moose and Caribou were the most common meats at home. As a teenager he moved to Seattle to find work and get out of Alaska as he put it. He said that when he tasted a beef steak for the first time he couldn't eat it and according to him it was foul tasting and too fatty. That story has always stuck with me when these discussions arise and I believe there is no right answer, it's just personal preference and whatever people are accustomed to eating.

Let’s be fair. You can’t compare a 5 year old bull elk to a 1 year old beef steer either. Apples to apples I’ll take the elk steak.

Deer scents are for Krunchies.

No objections here! Co-workers dealing with the same hog problems on their land will drop 8-10 in a night. They’ll take backstraps from one or two- occasionally. Like that ozzy guy says, it’s culling, not hunting.

My unpopular opinions.

My state IS full.

.30-06 is overrated in 2025.

You will benefit from the best glass you can afford.

My pickup is a rig.

I "run" gear.

Grip and grins aren't the end of hunting

You can be proud of what ever animal you kill, but don't justify road hunting the first fork n horn you see just to shit on people who are selective in what they kill. Or don't shoot the first yearling you see just to say "it aint much but I need the meat "

People who use "run" are some of the most slappable people in the world.

Stop running your mouth and get after it.... I mean stop using your mouth.

The, I'm right your wrong stance has killed the art of conversation.

“Dont pass on the first day what you would take on the last day”

I live by that statement.

Tikkas suck and are over rated.

I’m pretty sure you said this jokingly but I have never picked up a rifle that felt cheaper than a Tikka. I just can’t. My savage axis feels more sturdily built
