Just as you don't deliberately hurt the weak (i.e. deer, elk, rabbits, quail, etc.), pissing off dangerous game (i.e. animals that are fully capable of taking you out), is something else altogether.
The only hunters I disrespect are the cowards that have the PHs shoot their elephants (Oh, I just can't see it!), or look for a hidely hole when they muff a shot on a buff, because they are too scared.
Killing a dangerous (but unsuspecting) animal with one perfect shot is like hitting a 300 lb biker in the head with a lead pipe, when he isn't looking. Sure you accomplished your task. Is it noble? Are you giving him (or her) a fair chance?
Hell no. But walk up to him square and trade punches with him for 3 or 4 shots and you get an idea of what living on the edge is all about. (Not to mention pissing blood for 3 days).
wow!!! now hold on there buffty hunter I suspect several loose bolts in the metal plate in your head!! because you may well be the 300lb biker who was hit on the head <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
seriously though pal for someone who (allegedly) has shot 2 buffalo and 1 elephant...lets see thats got to run to (guessing here) $30,000 (open to correct figure btw) but anyway that 'aint cheap this implies someone with quite a few greenbacks in reserve <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> so what do you do? you trade 3 or 4 shots with the buffalo to prove what exactly? you must have something seriously LACKING in your life if that is the way you have to get your kicks.dont suppose daddy ever told you it wasn't big or clever to have animals suffer (as you deliberately set out to do) intentionally.
I have never once said that the guys into the long range stuff didn't know what they were about regarding quick and efficient kills.
You on the other hand are beyond redemption and have been revealed for what you are ie a gob [bleep] with a mentally unhinged brain
For the rest of the guys my shooting is mostly <250 yards with a 243 for deer,for me the stalk is the best part of the hunt,I hunt for the enjoyment of the outdoors and putting food on the table,
we may disagree on some things <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> but at least Buffty boy has been revealed for what he is.
