Why every liberal millennial.......

No way Jeff Bridges is a boomer.

Yeah, but the movie was quintessential Gen X pop culture

Hunting by generation:

Boomer- taught by grandfather/father, part of growing up. 270 because that’s what JOC had or 30-06. Army surplus camo, red plaid.

Gen X- taught by Dad, maybe grandfather. Poured through Field and Stream, Outdoor Life, read books. Self taught, trial and error. TreBark, Mossy Oak. 270/30-06.

The 270, at the time it was being pushed by Jack was the 6.5 of the day in that it was people looking to find something better than what was commonly used. Camo itself, regardless of pattern, is the same thing. Solid browns and greens work pretty well.

Some innovation I like. Having used "supper" steels like M390 and S90V I do not want to go back to D2, or 440C. Nor do I want to give up modern fabrics for waxed canvas. Others I don't fool with. I hunt with a 30-06, my CCW is a 45 acp, I use bench stones freehand to sharpen my knives. I also recognize that there are many ways to skin the cat.

Millenial- Google, Forums. Dad’s not home because he’s out boinking some broad. $500 monkey suit because that’s what he read about, 6.5 CM because it’s like the latest iPhone. 15 minutes in the words and frustrated because he hasn’t seen something. Pics on Instagram before the knife comes out. Talks about his feelings.

Lol that’s about right. Don’t forget flat brimmed hats for millennials lol. Good thing I fit the Gen X perfectly. I’ll add 308 to the Gen X.

The good news is that when the internet goes out, the millenials can still call Gen-X’ers for all the answers.

So the existing political constitution of SCOTUS and POTUS is actually debatable and can vary based on a given media outlet?

That's not what you posted, but you're right on par with the playbook. And actually.......yes, the media outlet makes all the difference in the world as to whether they're reporting reality or lunacy. Trump could cure Covid-19 and some outlets would declare that it never even existed to start with, and then demand that he be impeached for curing something that they say didn't exist......LOL. But it's best to ignore all of them and do your own research and reality checks. And again........what does the SCOTUS and POTUS makeup have to do with how state governors rule????

“Systems”, I thought “kit” was the new term for this? My wife just refers to it as all the shit in the extra bedroom that takes up space.

Crap! We’re post-system already? Holy hell man...time doth fly!

Yes, how can you tell the difference between a Gen Xer and a Millenial?

Ask them a question... the Gen Xer will respond, “Let me think for a sec,” the Millennial will respond, “Let me Google that.”

I guess i'm a millenial, born in '88. My hat brims have a nice curve to them, i dont take selfies unless it's with one of my little girls, I shoot a mostly factory 7 Rem Mag or 25-06, I don't have any student debt that i cry for the gov't to pay for me, drive a truck that's worth probably $4k... oh and this thread hurts my feelings

I love this thread. Brings out all of the ignorables.

Born in 85 here and I've come to the realization that there's about an equal percentage of A-holes in every generation. Heck, I'm probably one of them.

I think I'm considered a millennial since I was born in 1986... Not sure, don't pay any attention to "generational" nonsense.

I can only speak for myself and what I know... My grandfather taught me about hunting and my father taught me about spending time living in the backcountry. I've spent at least 10 days in the backcountry since 1994, haven't missed a single year yet.

This was further solidified when I started dating my now wife when I was 17. Her grandfather and father taught me even more about hunting and grew my passion for it to a whole different level.

So this born and raised CALIFORNIA MILLENNIAL HIPPIE LIBERAL will gladly spend time with you in the mountains. Don't freak out if I'm not wearing a flat brim or praising Obama though, wouldn't want you to have a stroke.

This thread is pretty funny.

I was born a shot gun hunter, who's curiosity lead to rifle and handguns, so I guess at that point in my life I was bi-curious. Now I identify as a bow hunter who recently got a puppy and will be shotgunning a lot more. Thankfully no change surgeries were need for my identity changes. Oh wait this isn't that kind of thread...

I am supposedly one of the born in the 80s millennial's, however I have 0 social media and actively despise what it has done to society. I admit I had a Myspace back in the day, it was great for chatting up chicks.. A few hunting forums is all I participate in. Most people I work with say I act and have the disposition of a curmudgeon old boomer, so I wholly believe you cant paint everyone with the same brush, but I do believe a large segment of the millennial and following generation are not the best the human race has to offer.

All generations have their issues and that's not an argument anyone can win

All true. I was born in '86 and grew up hunting with a smoothbore 1100 slug gun. I don't identify as a millennial, probably because they get such a bad rep. But it makes sense, as most people I know have at one point called me an old soul and the thing I look forward to the most about retirement is getting to sit on my front porch while yelling at kids to pull up their pants and get off my lawn.

That being said, we need more gay hunters in here.

Some of us were already doing that even in our 20's. How to properly wear clothes and a ball cap, and respect for private property were two of the earliest things taught in my generation. We seem to have had some parenting failures over the years since.

When anyone starts going off about "millennials" my eyes glaze over and I lose my ability to concentrate. Whether it's joking or real emotion, the arguments and insults and putting people down have gotten old.

Anyone ignorant enough to do that with any group of people, deserves to be ignored. But to people who are scared of using what little minds they have, lumping people into groups they can hate on is a very efficient (read - lazy) way of thinking. So it suits their purposes.

Agreed. Thank you for putting it more succinctly than I was able to formulate.

So funny that you lump people who like taking the piss out of someone into a group so you can more easily criticize them for lumping people into groups so that they can more easily criticize them.

No, one is taking a group with divers characteristics (everyone born between 1980 and 2000) and ascribing them all to be the same. The other is categorizing people based off of how they act in relation to those actions.

I will grant, that being more specific and stating that it is ignorance in the given area (rather than global) and they deserve to be ignored on that subject (rather than on all subjects) would make Newtosavage's statement more consistent and accurate in application.

However, one could further state that the act of ignoring ignorance, rather than attempting to correct it, is laziness in and of itself. Though I would choose to define it as picking ones battles.

It is also fair to note that the baseline function of the human brain is to use heuristics and forming conclusions about entire groups from limited samples that are biased by what annoys us (lets face it, things that don't annoy us are less likely to be remembered) is normal. So using the heuristic is normal and understandable. Rather it is the refusal to reevaluate it once it is challenged that pushes a person into the realm of willful ignorance worthy of being ignored.

These ideas have a strong founding in the enlightenment, which heavily influenced the thinking of the Founding Fathers. However, I'm sure some will dismiss them is millennial tripe. That said, George Barnard Shaw's statement, “A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education,” remains an accurate evaluation today over a century after his death, particularly the first part. The second depends on if the education is being applied to a fool or not.
