Going Hunting?

Tango589 · 11-03-14, 11:49 AM

I prefer to venture out with a rolled up newspaper. This is more than enough to slay any beast when in the hands of ex-special forces.

Easy. A well aimed blow with the Daily Fail will put paid to that cycloptic meanie in short order! Also, the M134 General Electric Minigun also works wonders...

Always enjoy hunting the criminal fraternity if that counts.

Not the hunter I once was, meaning, I lived in the woods during hunting season. I bow hunt now, might go a few times with my rifle. I've actually killed one with a bow in my backyard. I'm in the city limits, but my house backs up to woods and bow hunting is allowed. Usually see numerous deer in my yard everyday. I could actually shoot out my upper story bathroom window...OTT, I do a lot of bird hunting...

I'm particularly useless at hitting a target 5 feet in front of me... it might as well be a barn door.

If the target moves... then I don't miss.
Funny isn't it !!

I've done a lot more hunting than I have catching...

I'm ahead on points...three this year alone with the Corolla at all hours; one was a six point buck and two Bambi's. The buck caromed into me at 60 mph hitting at 2AM just in front of my driver mirror and leaving a good dent in the rear fender; I don't see how it could have survived the encounter.

Me. I hunt at least something all year round. Squirrels, coyotes, ducks, deer, unsuspecting birds, pesky beavers (you think I joke...), drones, trespassers, etc.

What do you guys use, if any?

Deer - .30-06 Browning
Coyotes - either my Mosin-Nagant or .223 Savage
Squirrels - prefer a .22LR over a .17 or shotgun
Ducks - Benelli 12 gauge pump (never killed one but have been twice. Looking to get into waterfowl hunting more this year)

Been thinking about getting into muzzleloading. Not a big fan of the bow and arrow. I like to have range and there's just something about a rifle that makes hunting more fun than hunting with a bow.
