The Hunter

Just been really busy lately, we're expecting a baby in two weeks so I've been getting stuff sorted for that

Should be on tonight or Thursday though.

Ah. The new .454 for the daddy then, and the little junior gets a Derringer.

Just completed a hunt, it was perhaps too long of a break.

Seems the .300 makes mincemeat of coyotes, 0 trophy integrity.

Got some em$ left. Was wondering before the break to either spend it on a bear bait kit or boar bait kit.

For two rifle solutions: the 8x57, and the .223. Covers the whole spectrum.

For three rifle solutions: the 9.3, the 6.5x55, and the .223.

Trophy integrity always should be 95-100%, if you use the right - tool...

The new revolver can easily replace the 9.3, if there is weight concerns, just that it does not have the 9.3's range. But at distances you cover without using a scope, it is a steelhammer.

I still must smile when I think of putting a scope on a revolver. I never do that.

Only weapon I can can afford with the em$ I got is a "12 GA Single Shot Shotgun", which is pointless since I have a "12 GA pump action" one.

I have:

Rifle
.243
.300

Shotgun
12 GA Pump Action

Revolver
.357
.44

Bow
Snakebite

The .243 and .300 in combination with the revolvers give you a range of callibres covering all species. The main reason I do never mention weapons like the .243 or .300 or 30-06 is that they are older models and are in the game since long, partly form all beginning on, so they are old work: and their looks and sounds show that. They are not worse than the one I mentioned regarding their effectiveness, but the ones I mentioned and use simply - imo - look better and have the better sounds. They are younger addons for the game.

The bow is thought by many to be the bow with the biggest penetration power, but also it is the loudest bow of them all. I prefer as a bow weapon the Python, which is maybe the wekaest, but also the most silent of them all. I use it only for turkey, foxes, coyotes, geese, and pesky female roe deer. I hate long aftersearches. There ar people who by routine use the Python even for bears and moose, however.

The shotty is the best of them all, period. Maybe with exception of the new automatic, I don't know it, but it looks awfully hilarious.

Your equipment is somewhat minimalistic, but nevertheless: complete.

I think bear an d hog baiting is overestimated. I have one kit of both, but hardly ever use it. Plus it causes running costs, and playtime obligations if you do not want to waste the effects. If money is an issue for you, i woudl not get into these things. save the credit instead - your scent suppressing spray will sooner or later run out...

The store was a bit slow, somehow I have 2 .223 rifles now. Charged for both of them as well. 900 em$ gone instead of 450...
