Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters How did we ever....

Hunt successfully without:

A full sized backpack...camo, with lots of loops on it...

Head to toe designer camo to wear in Texas deer blinds...

Orange vests to wear over your camo in the blind...in case you aint in Texas...

Camo face paint to wear anywhere....

Lazer rangefinders to tell us the deer is 100 yards away....

Tripod shooting sticks with triggers and red spongy stuff on them....

Flavored chemicals to put in our hydration bottles....

Scopes with A/Os on the side, turrets, lighted reticles and batteries, and 30mm tubes to shoot at the deer you just lazered at 100 yards....

Gear shifter bolt handles, and fluted bolts to trap dust and debris....




And my last question, have I been watching too many hunting shows on the Bubbavision Channels?????

Only if you were whispering as you wrote this.

Just lucky.

That list could go on for pages if you count in the stuff you read here.

Yeah...I left out cough silencers, blue tape, and butt-out tools.....

I do get a kick out of the Bubbavision guys, with the latest whiz bang long range gravity defying magnums taking time to laser deer at 167 yards.....

The same way we got around before horses, carts, automobiles, and aircraft. the same way we communicated before mail, telephones, fax machines, email, and cell phones. The same way we survived before antibiotics, cardiac surgery, and immunizations...


Times change, things progress...there is nothing inherently bad about it. The hanging on to ideals for the sake of being curmudgeonly, however, is ridiculous.

Got a suggestion Ingwe,quit watching those shows.

I don't know.....

No way I'm leaving the house without my Butt-Out tool.

Concerning the full size backpack with lots of loops...well these days I take a lot more pictures (certainly more field pics vs in the pickup bed pics) requiring camera and tripod to be with me, plus my SPOT device, more water, spotting scope, rain gear and game bags...plus room for quarters since I don't drag deer/antelope and for sure not elk unless they're uphill from a road and reasonably close.

A full size backpack (loops optional) simply makes me a better, more capable hunter than I was when I first started out. Chucker hunting, where I can hike well over 10 miles a day, sometimes close to 20, I can cram everything I need into my bird vest.

That was about as serious of a post as I will ever make.

I don't like you sober.

The butt-out tool is pretty awesome. I like to shove it up my own ass when I am chilling out in the middle of the day, between morning and evening hunts.

It's exhilarating.

80% of chicks dig it too.

I just chugged a 5th. My normal sarcastic, demeaning self is back.

suck it.

Following Bob's example.



7mm Mauser,160 gr Sierra GK and a 4x Weaver scope. No laser range finder was used.

That shag sling you bought from Mr. Powers is sweet.

Does it come in burgundy?

Nope.

I absolutely abhor camo stuff.. Can't stand it. Won't wear it.

If that's other folks thing, more power to em.

Fixt it for you.


I couldn't help myself.


Go sit on your butt-out tool.
