If you don't understand the need to kill coyotes and groundhogs you are no woodsman just a pretender who got his ethics from dime store mag.

And the ability to kill something at 200 yards is the use of the mind that keeps us at the top of the food chain as you say.


Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.

True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth.

If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

We're number two.


Its good to have respect for bears... its good to have respect for all animals.. regardless of whether they are able to kill your or not. I see so many people on these hunting shows killing pigs and deer and turkeys and other bueatiful animals for no reason other then sport... thats a bad reason, and a waste of time/money. If you don't need the meat let it live. The world does not revolve around us and animals have feelings too....just like IS ee people hunting big bears with .30-06's and .338's... because they are not man enough to shoot a real man's gun a real big bore that will humanely kill it. Would you like to be hunted and shot to death with a .22?? and Being shot at while hiking in the woods from unknown direction with a .22? And run and panic not knowing whats going on... that just ain't right. That being said... maybe some people are #2 on the food chain, but I know that I am #1 and I will always be #1 until the day I die Our intelligence is what makes us #1.. not our brute strength, which even I have but is not enough to over power a bear. I outsmart him.


You are absolutely right. None of the posters here understand you and you should go ahead with your plan to test your chain maille suit on grizzly bears. Please let me know how it goes. I'm really interested in the outcome, and I'm sure alot of others are, too.
Don't forget your galoshes, your steel gloves, and be sure to wear clean underwear. See you when you get back.

BB,
You forgot the important part below.

Polska, your parents would like you to leave a note before you go out so they know how to get ahold of you if needed. Also they would like you take out the trash, clean your room, and please be home before dinner.

You don't need my help looking bad Darwin. You do just fine all by your little self. I'm sorry your daddy left you, your momma beats you and your sister dresses you in girls clothes. ....chain maille for grizzlies....I am still laughing.

You are like that idiot that thought grizzlies loved him. They did, right down to his boots and socks. There wasn't much left of him. The grizzlies thought he tasted like caribou. Run along, go play with your dolls. Flinch

What a trophy, those damn groundhogs and coyotes, real danger... how about you put your 2000 dollar gun down, pick up a revolver or a bow and hunt a bear in dense bush. Your a waste of time


They don't call them ground grizzlies for nothing. You know, if you are in up state NY we likely aren't too far apart.

Word to the wise man. You don't want no part of Polka.. I mean Polska. Don't you know man, he is 7'13" 330lbs pure twisted steel! Why even Chuck Norris is afraid of him... Why else do you think Walker Texas Ranger went off the air?
Watch out man.

FVA;
Thanks for sharing the dispersed crow pictures with us.

While I enjoy calling in coyotes and see the necessity of shooting rodents of all sizes - especially on agricultural land, I must confess to a perverse pleasure in seeing crows explode.

In all likelihood it stems from the many mornings they woke my up on the farm before I needed to be up and had been out on the field late.

Once I went so far as shooting at them at 4:00AM with the most accurate rifle in the house at the time, my wife's little 788 carbine in .308, as they perched on some trees about 300yds from our house. By the way, I did have a safe backstop for that shot.

A cousin I farmed with at the time, who lived close enough to hear it was only mildly curious as to "what I was blazing away at when it's only 4:00", when I got to the shop.

Oh that I'd had my .22-.250Improved back then.... whistle

Anyway here in BC we've hunted crows with calls and an owl and crow decoys back in "the day" and shot them during lulls in other hunts as well.

The sight of a puff of black feathers wafting lazily downward in a light breeze has never failed to bring a smile to my mustache covered lips. smile

My name is Dwayne and I really, really don't like crows. laugh

Have a good weekend FVA and good luck on your future crow hunts. wink

Regards,
Dwayne

Buy some arsenic or strychnine. Rub all over your body with your bare hands. That way when a couger or bear bites you he will die of poisoning.

Rattler, you got it wrong in this case need to rub the bacon grease all over the chain maille to cover the scent and go into stealth mode Russ

Reminds me of why a .22 revolver is a preferred bear protection handgun.

Just knee-cap your hunting partner when the bear shows up. You don't have to outrun the bear; just the other guy.

Am figuring a 'tard in chain maille would be about as easy to outpace.

Just don't get out of bino range....
